When Life Feels Out of Control | Guided Prayers

What is one thing that feels out of your control right now?

Maybe it's a decision, a relationship, an outcome you can't predict.

Open your hands in front of you as a posture of surrender as we remind ourselves of Proverbs 3, 5 and 6.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Do not rely on your own understanding.

In all your ways, know Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Trusting God means releasing the idea that we can control everything.

It means admitting our understanding is limited, that His is not.

God is asking you to trust Him today.

Take a moment to thank God for being trustworthy.

Talk to God now about a specific area where you're tempted to hold tight control.

God sees the whole picture, even when you can only see the next step.

Repeat this truth today.

Lord, I trust you with all of my heart.

I do not rely on my own understanding.

You are directing my path.

Thank you, Lord.

Amen.
