Jesus, forgive me for the times I become distracted by my need to control and prepare for an outcome that hasn’t happened. Forgive me for the energy I waste worrying about what ifs and not good enoughs. You did not create me to be in control. You created me to lean into you and trust you to provide for me and those I love. You’ve equipped me and I know you expect me to do my part. But my part was never intended to be the lead role. That belongs to You and You alone. Give me the courage to let go. Holding on is far easier. Let me trust you with those things most near and dear to my heart. Remind me that you love my family more than even I. A love so deep that you laid on the cross knowing we would disappoint you over and over again. Jesus let me rely on the Word of God when I am faced with anxious thoughts and worry. Do not let me equip the enemy with the tools of distraction. Rather let me arm myself with the full armor of God that I might fight the fears and worry and defeat the lies of the enemy. Let your light of hope and provision shine on me and through me. In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen.
