When You Need Help Surrendering

Heavenly Father, help me. Help me surrender fully to your plans. I know I cannot begin to fathom what You have for me, but Lord, I am struggling to surrender to the plans that look so different from my own.

Help me lean into what is written for me. Help me to relax the white-knuckle grip I have on the journey that I thought I was on and nudge me onto the right path.

And, Lord, while You work on me and soften me to this new path, please fill my heart with peace and calm. Lord, help bolster my faith when I begin to second guess Your plans for me. When I feel it is unfair. When I feel angry and let down, Lord, step in to remind me that You've got it worked out already. I don't need to concern myself with what this journey will look like, because You've already laid it out for me.

Send others my way who can speak Your truth into me when I am running from your plans or trying to wrestle you for control.

Lord, I want to believe in Your plan. I want to relish in the fact that You're fully in charge. Please help me when I begin to forget this truth.

Amen
