Repositioning Your Heart for God’s New Season
Have you ever felt like something was shifting in your life, but you couldn’t quite explain it? You sense that God is calling you into something new, but your heart feels hesitant and tethered to the comfort of what your familiar with. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Before God ushers us into a new season, He often invites us to reposition our hearts.
Letting Go of Yesterday
We sometimes hold on to past routines, relationships, or roles long after God has released us from them. Why do we do that? Maybe, your heart is still grieving a chapter God has already closed. Or maybe fear of the unknown has paralyzed your next step. It is time to turn the page.
But the truth is—you can’t embrace what’s ahead if your heart is still clinging to what’s behind.
“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? ”Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV)
Heart Work Comes Before Hard Work
God often deals with our inner posture before He sends us into outward purpose. Are you hearing God ask:
Will you trust Me with this next chapter of your life?
Will you allow Me to heal what’s still hurting inside of you?
Are you willing to be obedient even when it doesn’t make sense to you?
Just like a GPS will not give directions until it knows your location, God waits for us to align our hearts with His will before revealing the next steps and the direction to go.
The Grace to Shift
Repositioning your heart doesn’t mean doing it all at once. It’s a process, one that requires grace. Give yourself permission to:
Release past disappointments
Forgive yourself and others
Surrender your timeline to God
When we surrender, God begins to reposition us internally, so we’re ready for what He’s preparing externally.
Embrace the New
This is your confirmation: “it’s okay to step into the new thing God is doing”. God is already there. You don’t have to carry the old into the new. You only need a willing heart.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”—Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
So today, let this be your prayer: Lord, reposition my heart. Remove anything that’s in the way of what You’re trying to do in me and through me. I may not understand it all, but I trust that You’re preparing me for greater.
