A few things I have learned about submission to God in the last year or two:
It's not just sitting there passively and being willing to take whatever God sends your way. It's much deeper than that. There's a hugely important active component to it. It's important to ask God what he would have me do in this place and situation in my life, and actively following His direction. It's actively believing He has a plan and that He is also actively putting it into play, regardless of what our eyes see and what our overthinking brains come up with. Things are happening - we don't have a passive God. He is working on us. He is working on other people. He is working out the circumstances to bring about His best.
He keeps His promises. Trust God and His plan, even if you don't see it. Even if you can't make sense of it. And keep praising Him. Something amazing happens when you put your focus on praise and gratitude to the God who loves you more than you can imagine.
