Shedding her last leaf she stood empty and silent, stripped bare. First she surrendered her green, then the orange, yellow, and red finally she let go of her brown. Slowly she celebrated the sacrament of letting go. The Sacrament of Waiting by Macrina Weiderkehr

Come into my heart Lord, Lead me to victory and happiness. To you I bow down and ask that you give me strength to carry on. I appreciate ALL those who have entered my life, and love all those who left in such short periods of time. I punish those who may actually be here just to help me get through hard times.

I no longer want to hurt myself because of how someone once treated me. In Jesus' name I pray,īack to top Prayer for Strength to Let Go of the PastĪt times Lord God I know the things in life will only get better. Lord, You have told us to think about whatever is lovely and pure and holy and good, and I pray that You would help me to turn the eyes of my heart upon Jesus and look to Him day by day. Help me Lord, to take every thought captive, to hand it over to You as it rears up in my mind, and help me to replace it with thoughts and words of Scripture that tell of Your great might and wonderful power. Lord, You know what is in my heart and why I am going through this time of fear and worry. Fill the emptiness and pain that is tearing my life asunder. Fill my hurting soul with Your love and peace I pray. Lord, I kneel before You in humble submission and pray that in Your mercy and kindness You would help me to simply let go of all the fears and worries, problems and doubts, guilt and disappointments that seem to be filling my heart and mind so often, during the course of a day. Thank You Lord, that You have not given up on me and I ask You to teach me Your way from this day forward. Help me Lord, to give control of my life over to You in every way, and to become the person You would have me be.
Now it follows me every day how to#
Show me how to abide in You day by day, and instruct me how to live in spirit and truth. But Lord, I also ask that You would teach me how to submit my life to You. Lord, I pray that Your grace and mercy would lead and guide me and take control. I don’t really know what to do to give You control of my life, but I am coming to You in humility of heart to admit that I can do nothing in my own strength and to confess my need of You in my life. Lord, I don’t really know how to “let go”. Lord, I have made me the centre of my life and not You, and I pray You would help me to change. Oh Lord, I don’t know which way to turn nor do I know what to do, and I am coming to You confessing my need of You in my life, and pray that You will forgive me of my pride in trying to be the god of my own existence. Loving Lord Jesus, I want to yield up my life into Your hands for my life seems to be falling apart at the seams and I am desperate. But I've heard that someone, walking in this way, has seen a burning bush. There's no telling what will happen then. Then we can begin to dump the thousand things we've brought along until even the camel has to go and we're walking barefoot on the desert sand. The first thing we have to do is to notice that we've loaded down this camel with so much baggage we'll never get through the desert alive Something has to go.
