Anticipating change in your life can be scary. A key to staying grounded in confidence is trusting your transition alongside God, remembering you are never doing it alone.
“I will not leave you as an orphan” says the Lord
Sometimes God calls us beyond where we are comfortable into His more for us. In these seasons, we can let our worry of what we are leaving behind blind us from the excitement of what is ahead. If you are finding yourself in a season of transition, ask yourself these questions:
- Am I fully surrendered to what God is taking me into?
- How am I preparing my heart to anticipate His goodness ahead?
- What am I meant to leave behind in this season, and what am I mean to bring?
- What is my heart afraid of?
As you reflect on what God speaks to you, identify your fears for what’s ahead. Ask the Holy Spirit to refresh you with faith and anticipation for His goodness and promises. Renew your mind with God’s faithfulness to you.
Let community support you as you transition
Without a doubt, you need people. As you prepare to move seasons, jobs, or even places, consider who you can strategically place around you to pray, encourage, and support you. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide the right friendships in this time. It is in these practical moments that you make your transition more about what God does, than the fears that you might have. Even more, this connects your heart to God in a deeper way as you learn to walk alongside Him with a deeper faith.
Remember the prior times God has proven Himself faithful to you. Celebrate these as you move into your new season. Once your transition occurs, give yourself grace! You are doing a better job than you think and God will continue to walk alongside you as a leader and friend.
