He Holds What You've Let Go | Your Nightly Prayer

As our nightly prayer and devotional remind us, whether you’re struggling with a strained relationship, a child’s choices, financial uncertainty, or health fears, surrender can seem terrifying. Yet Psalm 37:5 reminds us that when we let go, God doesn’t. Committing our way to the Lord means rolling the weight off our shoulders and placing it in His capable hands. The Hebrew root of the word “commit” actually paints this picture of rolling something heavy onto another. It’s not giving up—it’s giving over. God’s promise isn’t passive—He will act. He will take what you’ve surrendered and begin working in ways unseen. And even though surrender isn’t a one-time act—it’s a daily, sometimes hourly, decision—His patience and grace meet us in the process. If you’ve been clinging tightly to something today, remember this: His hands are stronger than yours, His love is deeper, and His timing is perfect. He doesn’t just catch what you release—He redeems it. Tonight’s Scripture: Psalm 37:5 (NIV) “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.”
