God is Good!
By James Katende – Heavenly Father, we come before You with gratitude and humility, acknowledging that every season of our lives is held in Your hands. We thank You for Your faithfulness that has sustained us, Your mercy that has covered us, and Your grace that has carried us even when we felt weak. We surrender this new season fully to You.
Lord, we pray for clean hearts and renewed minds. Remove every weight, distraction, and burden that no longer serves Your purpose in our lives. Align our thoughts with Your truth, our desires with Your will, and our steps with Your direction. Teach us to trust You deeply, even when the path ahead is not fully clear.
We pray for strength where there has been weariness, peace where there has been anxiety, and hope where there has been discouragement. Restore joy to those who have been waiting, and renew faith in those who have been believing quietly. Let Your presence be our confidence and Your Word be our foundation.
Take a moment to reflect on the season you are stepping into. Consider how far you have come, not only in achievements, but in growth, maturity, and understanding. Reflect on the lessons learned in moments of waiting, the strength gained through challenges, and the grace that sustained you through uncertainty.
Ask yourself what God is inviting you to release and what He is asking you to embrace. Reflection creates space for clarity, healing, and intentional living. It allows you to recognise God’s hand in both the victories and the struggles, and to move forward with gratitude rather than regret.
This is a time to slow down, listen, and realign. Reflection is not about dwelling on the past, but about learning from it so you can step confidently into what lies ahead. As you reflect, allow peace to settle in your heart, trust to rise in your spirit, and faith to guide your next steps.
