A Prayer to Help You Cast Your Cares on Jesus

I’ve been spending time on my digital calendar lately. One-by-one, I’m loading our family’s activities into our the schedule. Kids’ ball games, dance practices, doctor’s appointments, and deadlines – they all have their place on the calendar.

As the season begins to take shape, I’m keenly aware of how quickly our schedule can become full. I think now is a good time to remember to leave space in our schedules for God – space to sit with Him without hurry. Space to simply be with Him without rushing through.

If you’re looking for something to help you do that, I’d love for you to go through my Bible study, She Smiles Without Fear: Proverbs 31 for Every Woman. The very first chapter helps you learn how to spend less time doing and more time being with Jesus. You can get your copy here: https://amzn.to/3dgLPWB   

With this in mind, here is a prayer to help you begin each day focused on Jesus and cast your cares on Him. 

Dear Heavenly Father, I know I cannot handle this day without You. Set my heart on Your presence from the moment I rise to the last blink of my eyes. Help me ignore the demands of my day until I’ve loaded Your truth into the foundations of my soul, and as the trials of the day arise, remind me You are near. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
