We make plans, rehearse conversations and try to work out every possible outcome. But there comes a moment when faith asks us to open our hands. Scripture — Psalm 37:5 (NIV) “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.” Prayer Father, this morning I began by remembering that You go before me. Now, as the day gathers pace, I realise how quickly I can return to trying to control everything myself. I can carry tomorrow in my thoughts before today has even finished. I can try to arrange every outcome, solve every problem and make everything work according to my own understanding. But, Lord, You are inviting me into something better than control. You are inviting me into trust. Your Word says to commit my way to You. So I bring You my plans, my responsibilities, my hopes and even the things I am afraid might go wrong. I do not want to surrender because I have stopped caring. I surrender because I trust that Your wisdom is greater than mine. I pray today for Germany, Kenya, Austria, Belgium, Spain and France. Meet people who are carrying pressures nobody else can see. Teach us all the freedom of placing our lives into Your hands. Jesus, You teach us to trust our Father rather than live consumed by tomorrow. So help me do that today. Show me what belongs to me and what belongs to You. Give me faith to take responsibility for what I can do, and humility to release what I cannot control. Holy Spirit, quiet the restless places within me. Let surrender become peace rather than fear. Father, I commit my way to You. I will do what You place before me today, and I will leave the outcomes in Your hands. Amen. Blessing May the Lord give you grace to work faithfully, surrender freely and trust Him with the things you cannot control.
