Sometimes it is difficult to let go of the things that we really have no control over.
Here’s a prayer that just may help you experience that release and the peace that comes along with it.

This is one of the places I struggle and I find that when I give God what I cant control I have to wait, be silent and pray. Stuggles then compound with other stuggles and issue like trust and self control really press down on me. I’ve known God my whole life, and still have trouble giving it all to Him for a lot of reasons but I’m still young in faith and am just now actually learning what it means to be Christian. In the past things like “give it to God” confused me and in a lot of cases made me a bit upset because I would think/say “they make it sound so easy so why is it so hard for me” so I walked in ignorance and thought that blind faith was enough and it’s not. I didn’t have the Word, I had bits and pieces of wisdoms but no context, I had lyrics of songs to push me because I thought “If they are writing songs to God surley they know what I don’t” and I would put faith behind the messages also but that’s still not enough.
Life is complex and the Bible in my opinion is even more so because it’s more than just accounts of the past, it’s the book of instructions people complain about not having, to include myself! My soul has been screaming at me to read the word but I have always had a hard time reading it and I get lost in it really easily but I found an audio Bible. Control is easy for me to give to God but I think I need to work on trusting God and learning what that means fo me after I give it to Him.
Thanks for this prayer, it’s just what I needed!
This blessed me, today! As a parent of teenagers, I need this reminder often. It helps me to be reminded of God’s sovereignty, and His love for my daughters. His plan for their lives is good! I can breathe, relax, and let Him work.
These times of waiting for God’s will to prevail in the situations and things we cannot control are so tough. It’s so hard not to let fear creep in!
