Prayer of Surrender

Why get agitated? Let Me take care of all your business. I shall be the one who 
will think about them. I am waiting for nothing else than your surrender to Me, 
and then you do not have to worry any more about anything. Say farewell to all 
fears and discouragement. You demonstrate that you do not trust Me. On the 
contrary, you must rely blindly on Me.

To surrender means: To turn your thoughts away from troubles, to turn them away 
from difficulties you encounter and from all your problems. Leave everything 
into My hands saying "Lord, Thy will be done. Thou think of it." That is to 
say: "Lord I thank you for you have taken everything in your hands, and you 
will resolve this for my highest good."

Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to surrender. 
That is to say, when you worry that a situation has not had the desired 
outcome, you thus demonstrate that you do not believe in My love for you. You 
will prove that you do not consider your life to be under My control and that 
nothing escapes Me.

Never think: How is this to end?... What is going to happen? If you give into 
this temptation, you demonstrate that you do not trust Me. Do you want Me to 
deal with it...yes or no? Then you must stop being anxious about it! I shall 
guide you only if you completely surrender to Me and when I must lead you into 
a different path than the one that you expect, I carry you in My arms.

What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your obsession, 
your will to provide for yourselves at any price. I can do so many things when 
the being, as much in his material necessities as in his spritual ones, turns 
to Me saying: "You think of it." then he closes his eyes and rests quietly. You 
will receive a lot but only when your prayer will rely fully upon Me. You pray 
to Me when in pain so that I intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do 
not rely on Me, but you want Me to adjust your requests.

Don't behave like sick ones who ask a treatment to the doctor, all the time 
suggesting it to him. Do not do that; but rather, even in sad circumstances, 
say: "Lord I praise and thank You for this problem, for this necessity. I pray 
You to arrange things as You please for this terrestrial and temporal life. You 
know very well what is best for me."

Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminish. Do not get 
agitated. Close your eyes and tell me with faith: "Thy will be done. You think 
of it." And when you speak thus, I accomplish a miracle when necessary. I only 
think of it when you trust me totally. I always think of you, but I can only 
help you completely when you rely fully on Me.

-Sathya Sai Baba

"Never take lightly the transformation that is taking place as I walk among 
you."

"Reach the point where churches, temples, mosques do not matter, where all 
roads end, from where all roads run."

-Sathya Sai Baba
