Another Surrender Stretch

Scripture:
“I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary and praise the Lord.”
— Psalm 134:2 (NIV)

Practice:
Begin by standing or sitting tall. Slowly stretch your arms fully overhead as you inhale deeply. As you exhale, gently widen your arms into a posture of surrender—palms open, shoulders relaxed. Hold this position for several breaths, allowing your body to release control and rest in God’s presence.

Benefit:
Physical openness can help cultivate emotional openness to God, creating space for trust, release, and deeper surrender.

Scripture Promise:
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

Prayer:
Lord, as I lift and open my arms, I open my heart to You. Help me release what I’ve been holding too tightly and trust You with every burden. Teach my body and spirit what it means to surrender fully into Your care. I receive Your peace and rest in Your love.

Amen.

Stay in Rhythm. Stay in Grace.
