This is the ultimate prayer of surrender, trust, and faith. It is laying down our own plans and desires and inviting the perfect, loving will of God to take full control.
Here is a prayer and declaration for this sacred surrender.

Have Your Way
I lay my will down at Your feet,
My plans,my dreams, however sweet.
I loosen my grip on the pen of my life,
And end my own,internal strife.
Have Your way in my life, Lord.
Not my way, for it is narrow and dim,
Not the world's way,so shallow and grim.
ButYour way, which is perfect and true,
Your way,which makes all things new.
Shape my desires to match Your own,
Until Your heartbeat is all I've known.
Direct my steps,not just the goal,
And sanctify my inmost soul.
When the path leads to joy, I'll praise Your name,
When it leads through fire,I'll trust just the same.
For the Potter knows the clay's design,
And Your"way" is always good, and always divine.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”(Jeremiah 29:11)
Mold me and shape me, break me and make me,
However You must,for Your glory, I pray.
Silence the voice of my stubborn pride,
Let"Your will be done" be my constant guide.
Have Your way in my life.
In my relationships,Lord, have Your way.
In my finances,Lord, have Your way.
In my career,Lord, have Your way.
In my thoughts and my words,Lord, have Your way.
I am Yours. The vessel is yielded.
The door is open.
The throne is Yours.
Have Your way.

A Prayer of Full Surrender:
"Heavenly Father,
This is the scariest and most freeing prayer I can pray. I confess that I often want to be in control. I trust my own plans more than Yours. Forgive me.
Right now, I consciously and willingly surrender my entire life to You. I give You my past, my present, and my future. I give You my relationships, my resources, my ambitions, and my fears.
Have Your way in me. Align my heart with Yours. Lead me down the path You have chosen for me, and give me the grace and courage to follow, even when I cannot see what's ahead.
I trust that Your way is perfect, Your thoughts are higher, and Your love for me is unfailing. I am no longer my own; I am Yours.
Do in me and through me whatever brings You the most glory.
In the powerful name of Jesus, who perfectly surrendered His will to Yours, I pray. Amen."
