Implies an entire giving up our understanding, will, and affections, to him; or, as Dr. Owen observes, it consists in

1. An acquiescency in his right and severeignty.

2. An acknowledgment of his righteousness and wisdom.

3. A sense of his love and care.

4. A diligent application of ourselves to his mind and will.

5. Keeping our souls by faith and patience from wearniness and despondancy.

6. A full resignation to his will.

See RESIGNATION, SORROW.
