I  want to want what He wants for me more than I want what I want for myself.  And I do\u2026with my head. But so many times, my emotions tell a very  different story.\u00a0 So it\u2019s no surprise that this theme of surrender  wove a thread through my latest novel that releases this week.

In those days when you pray,  I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\">Sounds great, doesn\u2019t it? God\u2019s  plans are for good, not harm. Giving us a future and hope. This is all  great stuff! But\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\">Are you familiar with verse 10 of that  same chapter, and verse 14? The two verses that bracket that promise  we love to quote? They\u2019re not as frequently quoted, but they should  be:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\">Let\u2019s read that passage again, beginning  with verse 10 and reading through verse 14:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\"><strong><em>\u201cThis is what the Lord says,  \u201cYou will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and  do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you  home again<\/em><\/strong><em>. For I know the plans I have for you,\u201d says  the Lord. \u201cThey are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you  a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If  you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.<\/em><strong><em> I will be found by you, says the Lord. I will end your captivity and  restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I  sent you and will bring you home again to your land.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\">Wait a minute! Captivity? He\u2019s promising <em> captivity? <\/em>AKA: struggle, hardship, things we wouldn\u2019t choose  for ourselves? May I please skip that part of the promise? But therein  lies the rub&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\">In order to become more like Christ,  we must accept the full promises of God. And that means following His  lead, no matter that it leads us down roads we wouldn\u2019t have chosen  for ourselves. Or that it means being <em>held captive by<\/em> [or enduring  for a time] a certain hurt or painful circumstance, because within that  pain is a path to greater closeness to God. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: small;\">And isn\u2019t that the ultimate goal  of our earthly journey and God\u2019s will for us here&#8230;to grow closer  to Him?
