Say this prayer today. Release it all to God.
God, it’s clear to me as I look back on my past that I have not surrendered to your will, your timing or your plans for my life. For that I am sorry and seek your forgiveness. With joy in my heart, I say that Today is the day that I change this way of living. I am handing over all of my issues to you. Surrendering my addiction, the people that frustrate me, the circumstances I can’t control and the future that is uncertain. I am completely surrendering that your ways are better than mine. I choose to quit fighting, to give up and rest in the fact that you have a future and hope planed for me. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. But most of all God give me the strength to surrender my all to you every day. More of you, less of me. Amen!
