A Prayer for Someone I Cannot Stop Worrying About
Concern for a child, spouse, parent, friend, or loved one can make sleep difficult. This prayer helps release another person into God's care when we have reached the limits of what we can do tonight.
Father, You know the person on my mind tonight. I have thought through every possibility and still cannot control what happens next. I give You my concern for them. Protect them, guide them, provide the help they need, and surround them with wise people. Show me what responsibility is mine and what I must release. Keep love from becoming fear and concern from becoming an attempt to control. I entrust this person to You because Your care reaches places mine cannot.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Isaiah 41:10
