Key Takeaways:

• Discernment in Transition: Not every struggle means you’re supposed to quit; learn to discern when God is moving you into a new season through spiritual “friction” and discontentment.

• Recognizing When Grace Lifts: When what used to be easy starts to feel draining, doors close, and connections misalign, it’s time to listen for God’s direction.

• God’s Grace Has Different Paces: Sometimes He gives you a green light with ease, other times, a yellow light calling for patience. Both are purposeful.

• Transition Isn’t Punishment: A shifting grace isn’t God’s disappointment but often His loving protection, preparing you for what’s next.

• Letting Go with Surrender: The old season may have held your identity or comfort, but God invites us to loosen our grip for deeper transformation and new assignments.

• Practical Anchors: Daily surrender, naming your ache, seeking wise counsel, and following peace can anchor you through spiritual transitions.

• You Are Being Led, Not Lost: When grace lifts, it’s an invitation to trust God’s faithfulness and step into more of what He has for you.
