When I am anxious about something or someone and my prayers feel like they are bouncing off the walls, I move my mind toward this passage from the Bible:
"Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you." (1 Peter 5:7 - The Message Translation)
How can I practice trusting that God is very careful with my life?
Once I start to rest in that truth, releasing the death grip on all I try to control through prayer becomes easier and easier.
What if prayer is more about releasing and less about demanding?
