"Let go and let God" — most of us hand Him the wheel and keep one hand hovering beside it. We pray, then manipulate. We surrender, then rehearse every worst-case scenario. Hosea reaches back to the man born grabbing his brother's heel — a lifelong grasper who only ever prevailed when he stopped seizing and started weeping. And James won't let letting-go become doing-nothing. Surrender isn't collapse. It's alignment. Open your hands, then go do the next good thing you already know to do.
