Father, this is what I fear: What am I afraid might happen if I do not get my preferred outcome? 3. Father, this is what Your Word teaches: What biblical truth must guide my decision? 4. Father, this is what I need to surrender: What preference, fear, or demand for control do I need to release? 5. Father, this is my next faithful step: What action can I responsibly take in obedience to Scripture? Take time to pray through Matthew 26:39 and write a brief personal prayer of surrender.
