Jesus to the soul:
Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to Me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to Me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (say 10 times)
