Surrendered Your Spirit: Living in God’s Hands

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Question: Have you committed your life to God?

Lord, I come before You tonight, and my heart is heavy, yet burning with a fire that will not be quenched. I am frustrated—so frustrated—at myself, at the world, at the way Your people stumble over their own self-centeredness, and at the times I have stumbled, even as I tried to cling to You. I ask You to hear me, O God, because I am speaking honestly. I do not want superficial devotion. I do not want to pretend. I do not want a lukewarm faith. Have I truly committed my life to You? Truly?

“Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.” Psalm 31:5. These words pierce me tonight. How often have I whispered them in moments of despair, in moments of quiet surrender, but do I actually live them? My spirit, Lord, I lay it at Your feet. I hand it over, though my hands tremble and my heart protests in fear. Yet I know that You are faithful. You have sustained me when nothing else could. My body, my plans, my desires—all fragile, all fleeting. But my soul, Lord, is Yours. I want it to be safe in Your hand.

I confess, God, that my anger rises often. Not at You, never at You, but at the injustice that saturates this world. I see selfishness, cruelty, apathy, and it rages inside me. And yet, in my anger, I realize I must still trust. Psalm 31 reminds me that even when life hangs by a thread, You are holding me. I cling to that assurance even when my human emotions scream that the world is spinning out of control.

Lord, forgive me for the times I have doubted Your plan, for the times I have wanted to grasp life in my own hands, as if I could create peace and redemption without You. Forgive me, Father, for my impatience, for the times I have measured my worth in worldly achievements rather than in Your grace. Your Word says, “All things are safe in God’s hands.” How foolish I have been to believe otherwise. I want, I need, to trust that fully—not just in quiet moments, but in every storm, every betrayal, every injustice.

There is a sweetness in knowing that I am redeemed. “Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.” Even when I feel the weight of my failures, even when my sins cling like shadows I cannot shake, Your redemption stands as an unshakable fortress. Oh, Lord, how I cling to this! How I want to shout to the heavens that no matter how hard life strikes, no matter how dark the night, You have redeemed me. You have done it before, You do it now, and You will do it again. Nothing can change Your promise, nothing can overturn Your grace.

And yet, I am angry, Lord. I am angry at myself for my weakness. I am angry at the world that resists Your will, that mocks Your name. But let this anger refine me, not destroy me. Let it drive me closer to You, not away. Let it remind me that my life is not mine—it is Yours, for Your glory and Your kingdom. Even in my wrath, let my spirit bow before You.

Father, I commit all of myself to You—my fears, my regrets, my ambitions, my heartaches, my rage. Even the anger I feel, I place it in Your hands. Let it serve You, not Satan. Let it protect the oppressed, fuel righteousness, strengthen the weary. Let it never lead me to sin or despair. “Though Thou slay me, I will trust.” Even if my path is painful, even if my trials crush me, I will not abandon You. Praise You even from the dust, O God, because Your love is unutterable, Your mercy eternal.

I think sometimes about how little I deserve Your grace, how often I fail. But even then, I remember that past deliverances are proof of present assistance. I have seen Your hand move in my life in ways that can only be described as miraculous. I have felt Your whisper in the quiet of despair, Your strength when I had none. If You were faithful then, Lord, You are faithful now. And I cling to that promise. I trust, despite my anger, despite my doubt, despite my pain.

Lord, help me to surrender fully. I want to be a woman whose life is not divided, whose spirit is not fragmented between fear and faith, doubt and devotion. I want to walk in Your light with no shadow of hesitation. Teach me to release control completely. Teach me to commit my soul entirely into Your hands, with no conditions, no reservations. Let me live as a true daughter of the King, fully known, fully redeemed, fully Yours.

I pray for courage, Lord—not just courage to face trials, but courage to live boldly in faith. Courage to confront injustice, to speak truth, to defend the weak, to love the unlovable. Courage to be angry at sin without being consumed by it, to be passionate without being prideful. Let my anger be sanctified, let my compassion be fierce. Let my heart burn with Your truth so that I may stand strong, even when the world trembles.

I ask for humility, Father. Even in my fervor, even in my righteous indignation, I need humility. Teach me to listen, to forgive, to serve. Let my zeal for Your kingdom never overshadow my love for Your children. Let me remember that redemption is not just mine—it is for everyone, and I am called to reflect Your grace as much as I cling to it.

Psalm 31:5 says, “Into thine hand I commit my spirit.” I am trying, Lord. Every day, in every thought, in every act, I am trying. But I stumble. I falter. I fight the darkness inside myself. Still, I want my life to be a living surrender, a continuous offering to You. Let this diary, let these words, be a testimony of my commitment. Let them be a reminder that no matter how stormy my soul feels, it is safe in Your hand.

Father, I pray for steadfastness. Keep me from turning back when trials arise. Remind me that the things of this world are fleeting, but my soul is eternal. Let me find rest not in comfort, not in accolades, not in the fleeting approval of others, but in You. Let every breath I take, every choice I make, reflect a deep and unwavering trust in Your plan. Let my anger and my compassion, my sorrow and my joy, all serve to glorify You.

And finally, Lord, I pray for Your love to saturate my being so fully that fear and doubt have no place in me. Let every moment of my life be a surrender, a living Psalm, a testimony to Your redemption. Let my spirit dwell in quiet resting places, as the Psalm says, even when adversities multiply. Let me commit all I have to Jesus’ faithful hand, for in Him alone is security, peace, and eternal joy.

I am Yours, O Lord. Take me. Shape me. Correct me. And even if You must slay me, let me trust You. Let me praise You from the dust, proclaiming Your unutterable love. Let me live as one redeemed, one sustained, one fully committed. And may this commitment not be just words, but life breathed in every action, every thought, every heartbeat.

Amen.

Democrats need Jesus in their lives because they abused an Elderly Biden to hang onto power

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

In today’s turbulent political climate, it’s easy to get swept up in outrage, headlines, and social media soundbites. We see aging leaders placed in the spotlight, used as symbols of power struggles far beyond their own capacity or desire. And as Christians, we must pause and ask—what would Jesus do? How are we called to respond?

There’s a concern that echoes through the hearts of many believers watching the political scene unfold: Are we honoring the dignity of those made in the image of God? Are we stewarding truth in a way that brings healing, or are we weaponizing it to win arguments?

One example that brings this tension to light is the way some political figures are treated, particularly when age and health become part of the discussion. In recent years, President Joe Biden—an elderly man and a long-time public servant—has become a focal point of national conversation. Whether you agree with his policies or not, the way we treat our elders reveals much about our values. The Bible is clear: “You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:32)

Yet, in the hunger to retain political power, there is a troubling pattern that seems to emerge: rather than releasing leadership when the time has passed or recognizing when a person needs rest, some are held up as figureheads—propped up for the sake of appearances or strategy. As Christians, we must speak into this with truth and love—not to condemn a political party or people—but to cry out for a return to righteousness, humility, and care for the vulnerable.

The Call for Truth: How Christians Can Shine Light in a Media-Driven World

We live in an age where truth often seems elusive. The lines between journalism and entertainment have blurred, and in the midst of fast-paced headlines, the eternal truths of God’s Word can feel distant from our national conversations. For Christians, this presents a deep concern—not just about politics, but about the condition of the human heart and the responsibility of believers to stand for truth, even when it’s uncomfortable or unpopular.

Some have asked: Where are the Christian voices in the media? And more specifically: How can news organizations claim to pursue truth while appearing to overlook—or even hide—what many see as critical issues, such as the mental clarity of national leaders? These are fair questions, not because they are political, but because they are moral. In this blog post, we will explore how Christians can respond with grace and boldness in a time of growing media distrust, and what it means to shine the light of Christ into every sphere—including journalism.

What Is Truth? (John 18:38)

Pontius Pilate famously asked Jesus, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). It’s a question that continues to echo in every newsroom, political debate, and social media post. Truth is not a concept to be shaped or bent by convenience—it is a Person. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6).

For Christians, truth isn’t just a set of facts—it’s the very character of God revealed to us in Christ. This means we are not called to manipulate information for outcomes, but to seek and tell the truth, even when it’s hard. When news organizations withhold or distort information—about any public figure, whether we support them or not—it becomes a question of integrity, not just ideology.

Integrity in Journalism—A Christian Perspective

Imagine if the reporters behind our nation’s biggest headlines had Christ at the center of their mission. What would it look like if even one major network anchored its work on the principles of Proverbs 12:22, which says, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are His delight”?

The role of a journalist is sacred in many ways. They are gatekeepers of information, shapers of narrative, and often the lens through which millions see the world. This role demands humility, honesty, and discernment—all fruits of a life submitted to God.

This is not to say there are no Christians in media, but rather, we often don’t hear their voices rising above the noise. The media landscape tends to reward sensationalism over substance. That’s why Christians in the newsroom—and those outside it—must be bold in their pursuit of what is right, even when it contradicts a popular political narrative.

The Elderly and the Burden of Leadership

Scripture repeatedly tells us to honor the elderly. Leviticus 19:32 instructs us to “Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God.” When a person shows signs of mental decline, the response should not be exploitation or strategic silence—it should be care, prayer, and honesty.

If a person, regardless of party affiliation, is no longer able to shoulder the burden of national leadership, we must ask: Is it loving to hide that truth in order to win a political battle? Or does it reflect a deeper cultural problem—that we are willing to sacrifice integrity on the altar of political power?

This is not a condemnation of any individual or party. It is a wake-up call for Christians to think with biblical clarity and to speak truth with compassion.

The Temptation to Idolize Politics

Sometimes we believe that if our preferred political outcome isn’t achieved, God’s plan will somehow fail. But Scripture reminds us that “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all” (Psalm 103:19). When we idolize elections, candidates, or even news networks, we are in danger of replacing trust in God with trust in systems that are deeply flawed.

Whether we feel frustration toward media outlets for burying stories or toward leaders who seem propped up by political agendas, our ultimate trust must not rest in human institutions. We are not citizens of a party—we are citizens of heaven. And as such, we must seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).

The Role of Christian Discernment

In Hebrews 5:14, we are told that “solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.” Discernment is a spiritual gift, one that’s desperately needed in an age of disinformation and propaganda.

Christians are called to be spiritually awake, not gullible or easily swayed by what sounds convenient. This includes questioning what we hear from all sides—left, right, or center—and seeking God’s wisdom above all. Discernment means being willing to ask tough questions, to research, and to stand on biblical principles instead of popular trends.

A Call to Prayer—for Media, for Leaders, and for Revival

Rather than respond with anger or despair, the most Christlike response is prayer. Paul urges us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, “I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people— for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”

Pray for reporters—that God would raise up men and women of integrity in every newsroom.

Pray for national leaders—both those we support and those we disagree with—that truth and righteousness would prevail.

Pray for the Church—that we would not be swept up in political hysteria, but remain anchored in God’s eternal truth.

And finally, pray for revival—that Jesus would be glorified in our homes, churches, cities, and yes, even in our media.

What We Can Do Practically

  1. Support Christian journalism. There are faithful believers working to bring truth to light—support their work.
  2. Engage culture, don’t retreat from it. Christians are called to be salt and light, not silent or absent.
  3. Speak truth with love. Use your platforms—big or small—to uphold truth and reflect Christ.
  4. Vote and advocate biblically. Let your conscience be shaped by Scripture, not by partisanship.
  5. Teach the next generation. Help young believers see the world through a biblical lens, especially when it comes to media and politics.

Conclusion: Truth Is Not Dead—It Is a Person

The lack of truth in media is not just a journalism problem—it’s a spiritual problem. And the answer is not found in shouting louder, but in walking closer with Christ. He is our example, our truth, and our hope.

So when we see stories swept under the rug, or feel disillusioned by what is or isn’t being reported, let us not become bitter. Let us become better—more Christlike, more prayerful, more committed to truth and grace.

As John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
