CAROL STREAM, Ill., March 7, 2011 /
Christian Newswire/ -- The March/April issue of the
Kyria digital magazine, available today, helps women understand the positive aspects of submitting to a trustworthy God.
Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month's issue of the Kyria digizine is on the spiritual discipline of submission--the practice of aligning our will and freedom with God's will and freedom. We want this issue to help women look beyond the temporary loss of control and self-sacrifice to the bigger picture--the joy, peace, and contentment ultimately laid out for us through Christ Jesus."
Featured is an interview with Nancy Guthrie, author of Hearing Jesus Speak Into Your Sorrow, who says submission is giving ourselves over to the goodness of God. "Submission involves obedience to the Lord, but it's also an attitude of glad-hearted openness to God--as if we're putting our yes on the table--before we even know what he has planned or will ask of us."
A portion of the Kyria digital magazine is free access and open to everyone. The March/April issue features the following articles:
