#scripturepromise To submit means to yield, to place oneself under the authority of another. When James calls us to “submit yourselves therefore to God,” he urges us to consciously and willingly submit every area of our lives—our decisions, desires, habits, and relationships—to God's leadership. Submission is not passive. It requires humility, trust, and a deep desire to obey God's Word, not just our feelings or opinions. It’s saying, “God, not my will, but Yours be done.”
