Not everything that has a place in your present belongs in your future. Sometimes God’s greatest act of love is removing what no longer aligns so you have room to receive what does.
God,
As I move into this new season, I ask you to clear away what was never meant to stay in my life. You see the things I’ve been holding onto out of fear, or habit, or comfort. You know the relationships, the opportunities, and the patterns that no longer align with who I am becoming. I place them all in your hands.
If something is not from you, don’t let it follow me into what is next. Remove what drains me, expose what isn’t honest, and release me from anything that keeps me small. Give me the courage to let go of what I once prayed for if it is no longer part of your plan.
Make space in my life for what carries your peace, God. Align me with the people who speak life into me, the doors that move me forward, and the places where my spirit can finally rest. Help me trust that when you take something away, it is never to harm me — it is to protect me, redirect me, and prepare me.
I’m ready for what is aligned with your purpose.
Amen.
