The Cup and The Surrender

Palm Sunday reminds us that the road to resurrection begins with surrender.

In Matthew 26:39, Jesus shows us something deeply human—and deeply holy. He doesn’t hide His anguish or rush past His pain. He brings it honestly before the Father: “If it is possible…” And then, with courage, He chooses trust: “Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

This Lectio invites you to do the same.

What is the “cup” in your life right now—the thing you wish God would take away or change? Instead of burying it or dressing it up, come as you are. Speak honestly. Then, like Jesus, take the next step into surrender.

This is where real faith begins—not in perfection, but in trust.

Take a moment today to release your situation into God’s hands and receive the peace that follows.
