Letting Go of What You Can't Control | Your Nightly Prayer

Audio By Carbonatix

We carry so many things that were never meant for our shoulders—outcomes we can’t dictate, people we can’t change, futures we can’t predict. But tonight’s prayer and devotional remind us that God never asked us to manage the world—He asked us to trust Him with it. When life feels uncertain and control slips through your fingers, Psalm 55:22 gives this life-giving command: “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you.” Letting go isn’t giving up—it’s giving back. It’s handing over the illusion of control and exchanging it for God’s faithful care. Whether you’re worried about your family, health, finances, relationships, or the state of the world, this prayer invites you to place it all in God’s hands—because they’re stronger, steadier, and always at work for your good. 📖 Tonight’s Scripture Psalm 55:22 (NIV) "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Lord, You see the burdens I’m carrying—the ones I talk about and the ones I silently hold. So many things feel out of my hands, but they were never meant to stay in my hands. Help me to release my grip on what I can’t control. Show me how to trust Your plans, rest in Your presence, and walk in peace even when I don’t know what tomorrow holds. Thank You for carrying what I cannot. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon Tonight What worries are you clinging to that you could place in God’s hands instead? Write them down and pray through them.
