The existence of the Higher Power has been confirmed by the testimony of millions. We cannot surrender power to this Higher Power that we do not already have. If I give myself in service I am really surrendering nothing, just acknowledging the real truth of my being - i.e. that I am a very finite individual whose future is in the hands of forces over which I have no control by myself.
To believe in God is not to believe in something I know nothing about. I actually know quite a bit about God. So do a lot of people.
