In this episode from our She Impacts Culture Devotional Series, guest host Corrie Heinrichs leads us on a journey centered on the theme of "Embracing Change." Drawing from the powerful scriptures of Isaiah 43:18-1, contemplate how God prepares us for new seasons in life, encouraging us to trust in His guiding hand even when faced with uncertainty. Through heartfelt prayers, personal reflections, and actionable steps, this episode invites listeners to open their hearts to God's transformative works, let go of familiar comforts, and embrace the greater blessings He has in store.
 
 English Standard Version (ESV)

Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

New Living Translation (NLT)
But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

New International Version (NIV)

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.

Ask yourself:

"When have I been most reluctant to leave behind the blessings I know for the potentially greater blessings God has in preparation for me?”

Reflect

• Dedicate time this week to quietly contemplate Isaiah 43:18-19.
• Reflect on areas in your life where you might be yearning for change or where God might be signaling it's time for transformation.

Engage

• Jot down one tangible change you feel called to make or accept in your life.
• Initiate this change by planning actionable steps you can take this week, such as altering your routine, reaching out for new opportunities, or even shifting your mindset towards new possibilities.

Pray

1. Pray for a heart receptive to God's nudgings, willing to move beyond comfort and familiarity.
2. Intercede for those in our lives who are also experiencing change, that they may feel supported and strengthened in God's love during transitions.
3. Pray for a transformative spirit within ourselves to consistently grow in faith and alignment with God's will.
