Im going to let you do your work, write your story, construct your plan.
And instead of resisting, Im going to surrender to you.

God, my soul is tired.
Rachel Pfuetzner
Sometimes I feel like I care too much.
Like I chase the wrong things.
Like I let people take advantage of me because Im not strong enough to turn away.
And then my faith starts to shake.
And then, suddenly, I cant remember who I am anymore, or what you want from me.
And I dont want to live like that anymore.
Rachel Pfuetzner
I dont want to spend my days agonizing over what I cant control.
I dont want to lay awake at nightwonderingabout the could-haves, should-haves.
I dont want to wish away whats right in front of me, searching for something else.
I dont want to give myself to someone, only to be left with nothing.
I dont want to feel so defeated, so purposeless, so lost.
God, I want to feel your presence, because honestly, I know that youre here.
I know that your warmth is shining down on me, that your light is guiding my path.
I know that each step I take is guided by you.
I know that youre with me and I dont have to fear.
But sometimes I get so caught up in the ways of the world.
I count my own strength as everything, and forget that Im imperfect andI need you.
So, God, Im surrendering to you.
Im dropping the weight.
God, Im going to let your will be done.
Im going to let you carve my path, my story, in whatever direction you see fit.
Im going to stop relying on my own strength to pull me through.
Im going to stop trying to control everything that happens to me, and around me.
Because you know, far better, where Im headed in this world.
You know the life you want for me, the purpose I will fulfill for your glory.
And you love me, no matter what.
Jeremiah 29:11
Im going to let youguideme, heal me, build me.
Im going to trust that you are with me, and I have nothing to fear.
And Im going to start, right now, in this prayer to you.
