It stresses that true surrender must precede discerning God's will, prompting reflection on what one is still holding back.

The slide warns that human hearts are deceitful (Jer 17:9) and urges renewing the mind instead of trusting heart instincts, avoiding the misconception that a heart-led life succeeds. It emphasizes daily surrender to God’s will (Prov 3:5-6), with the big idea that God reshapes hearts for His purpose.
