Lately the Lord has been ministering to me about the transition from old to new. As we all know that going into the new requires you to let go of the old. We can all be honest and say sometimes what we are required to let go of takes us by surprise because when God takes us into the new it requires new EVERYTHING. New Mindsets. New ways of doing things. New friendships. New relationships. And not everything we are called to let go of is bad it’s just not something that can be taken into the new season. So here’s what to do when the letting go catches you by surprise: - Surrender to the Lord. Tell Him how you truly feel and allow Him to work on your heart. - Believe. Believe that His way is better, His thoughts and ways are higher. He knows the way. Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts - Remind yourself that He is your shepherd. You have made this far in His guidance and you will continue  to be led correctly. Isaiah 43:19 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland My encouragement to you today is to trust God in the new. The new way of doing things, the new dynamic of your relationship with Him, the new life. It’s not a trick or a game, God is simply inviting you to experience Him in a new way and THAT is what this 31 day activation is all about…seeing Him in a new way. My prayer is that you would stretch your faith to see Him even when it doesn’t make sense. Welcome to Your New. Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father we come to You today thanking You for You grace and mercy that has ushered us into the new. We pray Lord that You would give us eyes to see You in the new and strengthen us as we let go of the past. We submit before You anything of the past that maybe stopping us from fully walking into the new. We let go of our will so that we may rest in You. Your way, Your Will, and Your Word. Lord please give us fresh faith as we submit to the new. We trust that because Your grace has gotten us this far then it will continue into this new season and beyond. We worship You, stand in awe of You and thank You for the new. It’s in Jesus name we pray amen.
