Prayer for grandmothers

Father, I want to trust You with my whole life, not just my words.

Ezra told the king that Your hand was on him. Then he was ashamed to ask for soldiers because his mouth and his life did not match. I know that gap.

I say You are in charge at church. Then I worry about test results at home. I tell a friend You will lead my grandson. Then I stew over his choices. I say my son is in Your hands. Then I map out his life for him.

Lord, my mouth says trust. My hands still grab for control. That is the small dishonesty I want to confess.

Help me close the gap today. When I start to arrange my own safety, remind me I already said I trust You. Let my life this week match my Sunday words.

I do not want to perform faith. I want to live it. Cut the old habit of worry dressed up as prayer. Let my hands and my mouth agree.

Amen.
