Get the appStuckSample
There’s nothing like coming home after a long day and cozying up on the couch with a blanket on a cold night. It’s the perfect way to end the day! That is, until you feel an unidentified bug crawling somewhere inside that blanket with you. When that happens, you don’t just calmly and lightly take the blanket off. No, you probably stand up, throw it to the floor, and try to get as far away from it (and whatever creepy crawly is inside it!) as possible.
This is the same way Paul calls us to throw off our old selves. When we become Christians, we’re changed completely from the inside out. But the world still tempts us back to our former selves and the things that used to hold our attention. If we’re not careful, we can stay stuck in that space. So, we have to throw off—literally get as far away from us as possible—those old ways and let the Spirit step in with a new way. When we do that, our thoughts change to God’s thoughts, and that’s good news. Because where our thoughts are, our behaviors and habits will follow.
What’s one thought pattern you feel stuck in right now? How is that thought impacting your habits? This week, take that specifically to God, asking for His help to throw it off.

About this Plan
We’re all trying to navigate our way forward in this world, and yet, somehow, we tend to get stuck along the way and in more ways than one. And when that happens, we may start to believe that things will never change. In this devotional, we’ll explore the healthy ways in which we can seek freedom from the people, emotions, habits, and more that make us feel stuck. As we do, we’ll see that it’s only in Christ that we can be truly free.
