PRAYERS FOR SURRENDER
When I Need to Let
Go and Trust God


SCRIPTURE
“Come to Me, all you who are weary
and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28
PRAYER
Jesus, You are gentle and compassionate toward weary hearts. I believe all who are weary and burdened can come to You and You will give them rest.
Lord, I grow tired from carrying burdens You never intended for me to carry alone. Worry, fear, emotional exhaustion, and striving have weighed heavily upon my heart. Sometimes I hold tightly to stress because I fear what will happen if I let go. Please help me release these burdens into Your loving hands and trust that You are able to care for me more perfectly than I ever could myself.
I surrender my fears, worries, emotional burdens, and exhaustion into Your care. I trust that You are able to carry what feels too heavy for me.
Thank You for inviting me to rest in Your presence. Thank You that I do not have to strive endlessly to hold everything together. I trust You to sustain and strengthen me daily.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
REFLECTION
What burden have I been carrying that Jesus may be asking me to finally lay down?
Release your fears, burdens, and plans
into God’s loving and faithful hands.
