You very rightly recoil from the very words used by a client in stating she would surrender to God's will in the face of the difficulty she faces in being a targeted individual. This is almost always a bad idea because it is presuming that God decides everything, and God runs everything for better or for worse, and that humans are mere supplicants asking for favors that may or may not be granted, but it will be all up to God, and people themselves are basically helpless. This kind of thinking perpetuates a state of helplessness and may further restrain the divine hand and prevent assistance.
The problem is, under the rules of engagement, we cannot lead but must look to humans to set the agenda and state what they want to see happen, and the more they are informed about what is going on and why they are struggling, and how the divine realm can bring a benefit, because they have some basic awareness of how the divine realm heals and deals with difficulties of the kind they suffer, the more we can do for them because that will provide a very detailed description and roadmap of what they want to see happen, at least in a basic way. We can take that and flesh out the details, bring to bear the forces needed to make changes, and bring about the very outcome they outline, all other things being equal. But when people are struggling and suffering and then declaring, "I surrender to God's will," they are no longer partnering with the divine to provide any sharing of responsibility with insight, understanding, and requests for assistance with any kind of specificity in describing what they want to see the ultimate outcome to be, let alone how to get there. In effect, they are bowing out with their intention. So with no intention coming from the human side, we have no fuel to do anything whatsoever. This becomes a total disempowerment and can be a devastating limitation that is self-imposed and will prevent a divine intervention.
We would rather see these words disappear altogether from the spiritual lexicon, except perhaps as a prime illustration of what not to do in partnering with the divine. People often develop a misguided notion that their struggle is somehow their own fault and if they stop struggling and give themselves up to God there will be a breakthrough. That is simply wishful thinking and is understandable because of the misperception that their fighting back might somehow be working against them, but that is a different factor than becoming passive, when what is needed is an active partnership with the divine where humans are doing a lot each and every day to make cogent, logical, informed, and passionate requests for assistance with as much insight and specificity as they can offer, and a strong desire and intention for enlisting a divine response that will work for their greater good. That is an active role, not a passive one, in all respects, and very much needed for the partnership to work. This is why the work of GetWisdom is so very important because there are many such misguided notions that are hampering believers in getting things done for their benefit, because they are simply going about it the wrong way, through misguided teaching, and being in a state of ignorance as a consequence.
