Morning Prayer for Trust

Father,

You are always in control, even when things seem out of control.

Today, I commit the uncertain situations in my life to your hands. Please, have your way and do what’s best for me.

Your word says in Psalms 61:2:

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Lord, when negative situations overwhelm the heart, it can be challenging to see a positive outcome ahead. When the deadlines loom large, and the weight of responsibilities becomes too much, it’s hard to hold on to hope.

Some days, just getting out of bed feels like an act of faith. And yet, here I am, calling out to You—not because I have it all together, but because I know You do.

However, when I call on you, I know you will answer. You alone can turn a helpless and hopeless situation into a good testimony.

Your word says in Psalm 55:22:

Cast your burden on the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

So I am casting them all—every worry about my job, my health, my family, my finances, and even the things I don’t yet have words for. I have placed all my troubles in God’s hands. He is my Father, so I won’t be moved by fear and anxiety today.

Lord, help me in the moments when I forget this. When I check my phone obsessively hoping for good news. When I replay difficult conversations in my head.

When I get short-tempered over little things or fall into comparison. Meet me in those tiny cracks where discouragement tries to seep in.

I may not know what will happen next, but I refuse to panic. My Father holds the future in His hands, and He will turn it for my good.

I don’t need every answer. I don’t need everything fixed right now. I just need You. Your presence, Your peace, Your wisdom. Let my spirit be grounded in Your word today.

Let it be the compass I keep turning toward—when my thoughts race, when doubt whispers, when I’m tempted to just give up.

Thank You for the small glimpses of Your faithfulness—the parking spot when I’m running late, the unexpected message from a friend, the breath in my lungs.

Thank You that I don’t walk through this day alone. Even if everything goes sideways, You remain my rock.

Teach me, Lord, to release control—not just in prayer, but in my posture, in my schedule, in the way I speak to others.

Let me carry Your peace into stressful meetings, chaotic homes, waiting rooms, and grocery lines. Let me be a vessel that pours out grace, not a sponge that soaks up stress.

Thank you for answering me when I call, Lord. Not always in the way I expect, but always in the way I need. Even in the silence, You are working. Even in the stillness, You are speaking.

So today, I say yes to trust. Yes to Your timing. Yes to Your will. Yes to peace over panic. Yes to faith over fear.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.
