When individuals let go of their fears about life and stop trying to control every aspect of it, they open themselves to a deeper spiritual connection. By recognizing their own limitations and dependence on a higher power, they become more receptive to God's presence and guidance.
As Donald Spoto describes in "Reluctant Saint," acknowledging this need and surrender allows God to draw closer and lead us toward spiritual growth. It emphasizes that true dependence on God can transform our perspective and foster a more genuine relationship with the divine.
