A Place of Surrender: Dreaming With Jesus Again

Today, I invite you to discover comfort, hope, and healing in a place of surrender. When we rest with Jesus, something unexpected can begin to emerge and unfold, creating space for healing.

Some processes must be completed before we can step into something new. Instead of forcing progress when we feel stuck, we can pause, step back, and dream with God.

I recently felt stuck with two painting projects. Rather than continuing to struggle, I entered a place of surrender. There, I felt inspired to dream with Jesus and begin painting something completely new. That process brought fresh perspective, renewed hope, and healing.

If you wish, you can begin your own journey by exploring mine.

As you look at the painting, notice the emotions it awakens within you. When you feel ready, close your eyes and gently allow any memories connected to those emotions to surface. Do not force anything; simply pay attention to what comes.

Bring those memories into the light of Scripture. Jesus may invite you toward forgiveness, repentance, truth, or the release of something you no longer need to carry.

Surrender is not giving up. It is creating space for God to meet us, restore us, and awaken new possibilities.

When you are ready, tell Jesus that you would like to dream about your future with Him. Ask Him to inspire you and reveal what your journey together might hold. Continue seeking His guidance and confirmation as those dreams begin to unfold.

Dreaming with Jesus can bring hope, peace, and healing. Keep your heart open. In the days, weeks, and months ahead, new thoughts may arrive like gentle waves—reminders of the future you are discovering with Him.

Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16 ESV
