A Prayer To Cast Off All Your Worry
By Alisha Headley
Dear Lord,
Our hearts are so heavy right now. We don’t want to live this way anymore. We don’t want to go to bed thinking about the thing that is weighing us down and wake up thinking about the same thing all day. We choose today to cast all our cares and worries on you and list them all one by one, throwing them from our hearts to yours. All our fears, our thoughts, and our worries that are weighing us down. Forgive us for the times we have filled out minds with worry and for when we try to fix it on our own. When we do that, we still feel overwhelmed and consumed. We are choosing today to fully give it all to you. We are throwing it off our hearts onto yours. Thank you for being such an amazing Father. As I throw each worry off, you don’t miss one. You are the perfect Father and the perfect burden carrier. We know you can carry this for us and resolve it the way you see best and the outcome that you desire. We trust you! We want to honor your Word and no longer carry the weight of our world. Hold us close as we humbly come to you. We love you.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray, amen.
