"Prayer begins and ends in trust. If you can''t leave it in God's hands, you're praying to the wrong God" ~ ray mileur 

Prayer was never meant to be a way to control God. It was meant to be a way to trust Him.

Too often, we pray like we’re negotiating terms. We tell the Lord exactly how things should turn out, when they should change, and what the answer ought to look like. Then we walk away still tense, still worried, still carrying the burden.

That’s not trust — that’s fear with religious language.

Real prayer is different.

Real prayer opens the hands.

It says, “Father, here it is. I trust You more than I trust myself.”

Prayer begins with faith that God hears us, and it ends with confidence that He knows best. Somewhere between “Amen” and getting up off our knees, we have to release it. Otherwise, we’re not surrendering — we’re just clinging.

The Lord isn’t asking us to manage outcomes. He’s asking us to trust His heart.

When we finally leave it in His hands, something changes. Maybe not the situation yet — but us.

And a trusting heart is a peaceful heart.
