A Prayer for Acceptance

Father, teach me to accept what I cannot change. There are things I cannot fix and doors I cannot open. Help me to lay them down in trust.

Give me a quiet heart, Lord. Where I have been fighting, grant me peace. Where I have been grasping, help me to loosen my hold.

I accept today as it comes from Your hand. Help me to find You even here, and to rest in Your good and loving care.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this when you are struggling to make peace with a situation you cannot change. It can help to breathe slowly and repeat the final line until your heart grows quieter.
