A Nightly Practice of Surrender, Letting Go of Control and Trusting God | Your Nightly Prayer

Updated Aug 12, 2025


In this guided nightly prayer, A Nightly Practice of Surrender: Letting Go of Control and Trusting God, you’ll be led to release the burdens, anxieties, and control you’ve been holding onto throughout the day. This peaceful bedtime reflection helps you trust God’s sovereignty, rest in His promises, and find true peace before you sleep. 📖 Bible Verse: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." – Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV) Whether you’re overwhelmed with decisions, carrying stress from work, or wrestling with personal struggles, this prayer invites you to lay it all down before God. Let this be your evening rhythm—surrendering the day and waking up refreshed in His grace. Heavenly Father, Tonight, I surrender my will, my worries, and my plans into Your loving hands. I confess that I often try to control things I was never meant to carry. Help me trust that You see the whole picture, even when I can’t. Quiet my racing thoughts, calm my anxious heart, and remind me that Your plans are always better than my own. As I rest, work in ways I cannot see, and prepare me for tomorrow with renewed strength and faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
