Surrender is about the other person.
Surrender is about following.
Here is my ramblings about the skill needed in this delicate balance....
Matthew 26:19-46
betrayed, asleep, deserted, denied. commitment leads to frustration and failure
John 21:12-19
When peter arrives at the attitude of: "no more commitment! Just surrender..." then Jesus says, "Bingo, follow me" "On THIS I will build my church"
Isaiah 30:21
As you go, the quiet voice behind you will say, "yes, this is the way".
