HEAVENLY FATHER, I release to You the burdens
that I have been carrying, burdens that You never
intended for me to carry. I cast all my cares upon
You – all my worries, all my fears. You have told me
to not be anxious about anything, but rather to bring
everything to You in prayer with thankfulness.
FATHER, calm my restless spirit, quiet my anxious
heart, still my troubling thoughts with the assurance
that You are in control. I let go of my grip upon the
things I have been hanging onto, with opened hands
I come to You. I release to Your will all that I am
trying to manipulate; I release to Your authority all
that I am trying to control; I release to Your timing
all that I have been striving to make happen.
I THANK YOU for Your promise to sustain me,
preserve me, and guard all that I have entrusted to
your keeping. Protect my heart and mind with Your
peace, the peace that passes all understanding.
Father, may Your will be done in my life,
in Your time and in Your way. – – – – – Roy Lessin
