What Does Surrender Mean?

Can we surrender the idea that this is a bad thing when we're hurting? Can some place in us remember this is fedback, to deepen our atten on because if we deepen our attention, that's where the light'll come through. And i can say in my own life, there's a prayer that is used by the bodisata which is, may whatever arises, may this serve the awakening of compassion and wisdom. It's like saying, ok, no matter what happens to me, like today, i was really excited to be back and come in and be with you.
