Dear Jesus, you know the burdens I’m carrying right now (mention each one specifically).

You know the tears I’ve cried because of my suffering and sadness. Thank you for your willingness to help me manage every one of my difficulties.

I acknowledge that I can’t bear these heavy burdens alone.

I’m surrendering them to you right now.

I choose to trust you in each difficult situation I face.

Please guide me as I go through this challenging time.

Take away my anxiety and replace it with the peace that only you can give.

I release my worries and receive your peace.

Even though I can’t predict how my difficult circumstances will improve, I know you will go ahead of me and work it all out for the best in the right timing, according to your wisdom.

Strengthen my faith, Lord, so I can keep trusting you as you continue to carry my burdens.

I pray in your holy name.

Amen.
