Praying Through ChangeSample

FINDING PEACE IN THE CHANGE

Change brings anxiety. Because you’re not entirely in control. Because you can’t see the future. Because you’re letting go of something to embrace something new and unknown. But when you walk through change with Jesus, He leads you away from anxiety and into peace. Inexplicable peace. Not because the world around you is suddenly bathed in sunlight and blooming with daisies. But a peace that comes from knowing that the Spirit in you has overcome the world. A peace that comes from knowing that your Savior is victorious over sin and death and your God is in control.

Ask Yourself:

-You can be anxious in your excitement as much as in your dread. How would you describe where your emotions are right now?

-What encouragement and hope do you find in Matthew 6, John 14, and Philippians 4?

Pause to Pray: Use Philippians 4:4-9 to guide your prayer time- praise the Lord and remember that He is with you. Share all your worries, thoughts, and feelings with Him. Ask him for wisdom and discernment, hope, and peace. Thank the Lord for leading you through this change. Thank Him for the work He is doing in your life. Rejoice in His promise of peace!

Take a Next Step: Use your “here” to “there” map as a prayer tool while you continue to walk through change. Mark the places where you have moments of clarity and the places where doubt and confusion set it. Through every high and low, continue to pray!
