Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. Ps 31:5
A critical part of prayer is the act of self-surrender. It is something that needs to be done again and again. Note the way this is done in Jesus’ life and then in our lives in the following two verses:
When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 1 Peter 2:23
Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. 1 Peter 4:19
How does his “paying a price for us” (redeem) actually motivate us to entrust ourselves to our Redeemer?
