Release now into My hands
those things that bother you.
Is it another's actions? Release.
Is it a gnawing problem? Release.
Do things concern you that
you can do nothing about? Release.
I am here, beloved,
to receive what you will give Me.
I am the receptacle for all your concerns.
But I cannot take these from you
if you will not willingly surrender all.
Surrender that loved one
who does not know Me.
Surrender your plans
for an unknown tomorrow.
Surrender your very self.
I can make you a new creature
and bring new hope within you.
And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.
(Psalm 39:7)
