Oh I didn’t realize it was portrayed as some sort of requirement to meet God’s approval. I withdraw my comment on the practice being biblical. While it is in the Bible, there is no text that says it’s required.
In the college trainings, we would have a bonfire meeting where the genders were separated. At the end of the singing time, we all wrote down things on a piece of paper that we are “giving up” or “giving” to the lord. We then threw those pieces of paper in the fire and prayed intensely that the Lord would burn those things away..
