Prayer of Surrender

Written byJulia Shalom JordanPublishedFebruary 24, 2021To beprayed aloud

“Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for being my father, my comfort and my guide.

Lord, I repent for carrying burdens that aren’t mine.

Release me (once again) from anxiety, fear, worry and fear of the unknown.  Help me to continue choosing you with every breath I take.

In this moment, I remove myself as the leader of my life.  I give you full permission to guide the way.  Help me to notice when I return to old habits of control (or illusions of it!)

I surrender.

God, you are MORE than capable to help me figure things out.

Lord, I humble myself before you; my heart is willing to do my part and I will trust you to do the rest.

I exchange the spirit of heaviness for joy and hopeful expectation.  The God of the Universe desires to co-labor and co-create a beautiful life with me. This is more than a blessing.  It’s a gift that can create heaven on earth.

In Jesus’ name, I fully surrender.  Amen.”

*This prayer is dedicated to my wonderful friends Manna and Genta.
