A Prayer for Leaving the Results to God

Father, I have done what I can do.
Now I lay the outcome in Your hands.
I cannot control what happens next,
so I give the results to You.

Teach me to trust where I cannot see.
Quiet the part of me that grasps and worries.
You are wise, and good, and never late.
Whatever comes, You will be with me.

Help me to loosen my grip and rest.
I will keep my part and leave the rest to You.
Your will is better than my plans,
and Your love holds what I let go.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this after you have done your best and the waiting begins. It is a good prayer when a decision, test, or effort is now out of your hands. Let it settle your heart whenever you are tempted to carry what only God can hold.
