Stop Trying to Control Everything | A Prayer to Trust God

The harder we try to control every outcome, the more overwhelmed we can become.

In today's Your Daily Prayer, Alisha Headley reminds us that God never asked us to have everything figured out. Through Proverbs 3:5–6 and Abraham's example of faith, we're encouraged to release our need for certainty and trust the One who knows what lies ahead.

Trusting God doesn't mean we stop making wise decisions or taking responsibility. It means recognizing what is and isn't ours to control, and choosing to follow Him one faithful step at a time.

If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or afraid of what comes next, join us in praying for a surrendered heart and renewed confidence in God's faithfulness.

Today's Scripture:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
