How the Surrender Prayer Changed Everything

I came across the Surrender Prayer in a YouTube video and decided to try something new: I made it the first thing I say every morning. It’s simple. It's powerful. And in all honesty—it changed everything.

Here’s the prayer:
“Oh Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything.”
I say it ten times. Every morning. Without fail. No exceptions.

At first, I didn’t notice much. But over time—slowly, quietly—my life began to shift. Tasks that once overwhelmed me started to feel lighter. My to-do list didn’t vanish, but the burden of carrying it alone did.

Jesus brought people into my life—helpers, encouragers, brothers and sisters—who seemed to show up just when I needed them most. I realized what He meant when He said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” That wasn’t poetic language. That was a promise. And He’s keeping it.

This isn’t a prayer to try for a few days and forget. This is a daily surrender that will gently reshape your life from the inside out. I can’t explain it fully—only that when you give Jesus everything, He gives you peace in return.

Start tomorrow. Start today. Say it ten times. Let it work on you.
And watch what happens.

“Oh Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything.”

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
—1 Peter 5:7
