I stopped there. That was what I was afraid of: that if I surrendered my plans I would have nothing. I would be stuck in a pathetic life—perhaps one even more pathetic than my current one. And all I would have would be God.

And what would be wrong with that?

“All right, Lord, I can take a hint,” I said aloud, then shook my head. A hint? This was not a hint. It was a bash over the head. I tried again. “You win, God. I know that trying to thwart Your plan is useless. Whatever You decide to do happens, no matter how much I wish for it to be different.” I stopped again. I was making God sound like blind, malignant Fate. “I know you do everything for my good,” I went on, “and it will all work out in the end. But the thought still terrifies me. Please, please, can you make it be not too bad? I’m scared.”

It could not have been called a glad surrender or even a wholehearted repentance. It was, however, the first crack in my defences.
