True faith involves surrendering our battles and burdens to God, allowing Him to work on our behalf. Smith illustrates that trying to fight our own spiritual battles leads to exhaustion and failure. She writes, "Our interference hinders His working." Instead, we are encouraged to let go and trust God entirely, much like a drowning person ceases to struggle and lets the rescuer save them. By relinquishing control, we allow God's power to manifest fully in our lives. For instance, when the Israelites faced overwhelming enemies, God reminded them, "The battle is not yours, but God's." Letting go frees us to experience God's victory. | Hannah Whitall Smith | The God of All Comfort
