Dear Jesus,
I give you ______________. I humble myself before You, believing that You are bigger than I am, that You are more capable to handle my burdens. I don’t know what the outcome of my giving up control of_______________ will be, but even so, I open my fist and let You grab it (or the person) from me. I want Your will. I want Your presence. I need Your strength, Please take this burden today, and use it in my life for Your glory. Help me to entrust ______________
to You even when things seem dark. I trust You. At least I try. But help me to trust You today. Right now. I give it up. I choose not to worry anymore about this. Amen
Blessings,
Kathy

Kathy,
I desperately needed this today. Thank you for posting a very special prayer. YOU are special. ❤
I am also a worrier. So much so that I wrote a book on it to see if doing the research would help. Indeed, it does. But I’m a work-in-progress. You may want to check out my book; I still do. It’s called THE WORRYWART’S PRAYER BOOK. It’s filled with Scripture, affirmations, anecdotes and prayers to help worrywarts get off the worry-go-round and trust God more. My favorite: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.” Psalm 46:1, 2.
I also love the adage my husband coined for the book, “Let there be no crisis before its time.” Meantime, remember, God’s in charge so give all your worries to Him. He’s the only one Who can make any sense of them.
