I feel troubled.

Events from the past
keeping coming to mind –
negative thoughts
that drag me down.

I turn to My God in prayer
and place before him
my concerns.
As I do so,
I think to myself,
“I make this over to the Lord”.

Praying these words
I’m aware
that I am echoing words used by Hannah,
the mother of Samuel
when she committed to God
her precious, long-awaited and only child,
saying, “I make him over to the Lord.”

Today I commit to My God
concerns that are close to my heart.

Now, I feel at peace.
