Pivot: Time for Change Sample

Step 5: Transformation Pivoting—aka, changing direction—doesn’t come without some bumps and bruises. That’s tough to swallow. But if you want the true transformation that pivoting can bring, you have to submit to the process. That’s even tougher news. We want to think we have it all worked out, can do it on our own, and can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. But actual change and transformation can only be done from the inside out. And that is the job of the Holy Spirit. By surrendering our wants, wills, and ways to the Lord, we allow the Holy Spirit access to the places that need his touch the most. Maybe some festering wounds need tending. Perhaps some roots of bitterness have sprouted from the seeds of unforgiveness. Maybe some cobwebby corners and dusty areas could use a good clearing out. Pivoting may make us feel like we are spinning our wheels or can’t get any traction. But if we have given the Lord both access and permission to do what he needs to do inside us, we will be transformed. Pivoting is transformational in the hands of a loving God. If we want to be transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, as it says in 2 Corinthians 3:18, then admitting God knows better than we do is part of the surrender. He is good. We can trust him with our lives, as well as our eternities. God has your future in mind. He created your past. He sits with you in your present. If it’s time to pivot, give the Lord an all-access pass to your heart and let him take you from glory to glory. Prayer: God, I know you hold my future in the palm of your hand. I surrender all I am, and all I have, to you. I want the transformation you provide, and if it takes this pivot to do it, then I trust you with this too. Take me from glory to glory, in Jesus' name. Amen. If you enjoyed this plan, [ CLICK HERE ](https://amzn.to/3UseV67) for more resources!
