Too many times we try to take control of situations and people. We try and impress our own goals and visions and expectations for what we think their lives should look like. We mean well, we really do. We have fears and hopes and dreams for them. We try so hard to hold on to them and help them rather than getting out of the way and letting the Lord work.
Received this prayer from a dear friend and mentor tonight. A prayer of release, a prayer of surrender!
To my friend who I want so much for, this is my prayer for you:
"Because Jesus Christ is my Lord, I free you from my anxiety, fears and control. I trust the Holy Spirit to lead you and show you the way that is right for you--the way of love, joy, and peace and all that salvation includes. I place you at God's throne of grace. I cannot force my will on you. I cannot live your life for you. I give you to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You are a very special person. As much as I love you, God loves you more. Your life today is totally in His hands, and I trust Him with it. In Jesus Name I release you from my expectation. I place you on open palms to the Lord. I give you my blessing. I let you go. "
