Prayer of Surrender to God

O God, my Father, into Your hands I place this day and all my days, for You alone know what is good for me. I have tried to steer my own way through fear and through control, and I am weary of carrying what was never mine to carry alone. Teach me to say, with Your Son upon the Cross, "Into Your hands I commend my spirit," and mean it with my whole heart. Take my plans, my worries, my need to understand every step before I take it, and replace them with a quiet trust in Your providence. Where I cannot see the way forward, let me lean on the certainty that You see it, and that You are good. Free me from the burden of needing to control what belongs to You alone, and give me the peace that comes only from surrender. I abandon myself into Your hands, Father; do with me as You will. Amen.
