Most Benevolent Leader, I struggle with the many issues that crop up in my life. I reach out to You for guidance and I cannot discern Your reply. This makes me tempted to take off on my own to do my own thing. When I face problems, I wish I could dial You on a phone and let You take over. Without hesitation, I want to be able to trust You with my life and turn it over to You. When I let You have the controls, my problems seem to get fixed quickly. Why then do I struggle with letting go? Sometimes it’s because I am out of sync with You and I’m unsure whether You will respond as I need or want. At other times, I just like having the controls in my hands whether I know how to operate them or not. When I step back and let the Holy Spirit take over … He knows just what to do. I accept the fact that I lack the knowledge for my journey and I need Your help in finding the best route to travel.
My spiritual needs are much greater than I could ever handle alone. I need the Holy Spirit to intercede in my life to aid me in living in accordance with Your will. I want to surrender to You without any reservations. I need the Holy Spirit to take hold of my hand, my mind and my heart as though they were His own and use them to do good on Your behalf. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the many things I must deal with, and coupled with the stress, makes me wonder how I can possibly cope with it all. As I let go of the controls and trust that You are there for me, my peace is restored and I can find rest. I take much comfort in Your encouragement to be strong knowing that You are with me. Your promise to never leave or forsake me helps me get through the tough times. My heart tells me that I can go to You with any problem and You will have the solution. I thank You for being my guide and protector.
In order to see my life prosper and grow, I must release myself to You and the workings of the Holy Spirit. I know the lessons in life are meant to teach me how to listen to what You have to say. Through the Spirit, I’m being taught how to yield control of my life to You. Help me trust You enough to believe that You want the best for me and anything can be dealt with if You are in control. As I yield to You, I’m beginning to find contentment and hope for my future. Through Your life, ministry and sacrifices, You’ve brought me hope for my times of need. Help me yield my fate to Your good judgment and wisdom. Through worship, reading of the Scriptures and time spent in prayer, I am confident that I will grow in the trust required to put my life in Your hands. With You at the controls, I know I will have a soft landing whenever my life encounters a storm. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
