Pivot: Time for Change Sample

Step 1: Plan

If you are reading this plan, you are probably considering a change in your life. Maybe you have felt stuck for a while and need something different. Perhaps you know God has called you to something new, but you aren’t sure how to get there. If this is where you are, it is time to PIVOT!

The definition of pivot is an adjustment or modification made (as to a product, service, or strategy) in order to adapt or improve (Merriam-Webster.com). If this sounds like something you need, let's keep going.

In this 5-day plan, we will walk through five steps to PIVOT with purpose: Plan, Imagining, Vision, Opportunity, and Transformation.

The enemy will whisper that change is too hard, that this is all a terrible idea. You may be faced with anxious thoughts or big feelings about change. Even your loved ones may try to convince you that a pivot is too risky. But if God is calling you to change something, then obedience to his way is the order of the day.

To change your mind, life, finances, health, or relationships, you will need a plan.

The good news is that God has the plan. You can rest in God's promises despite feelings of chaos and confusion swirling around. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

The next four days will help you understand how to PIVOT using the plan you create with the Lord through imagining and visioning, taking advantage of divine opportunities, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform you from the inside out.

The Lord that created heaven and the earth also created you. He is for you, and according to Jeremiah 29:11, he has plans to prosper you and to give you hope and a future. So if you are staring change in the face, God’s got you.

Let his plan for your life become yours.

Prayer: God, this pivot has me feeling all the feelings. I’m not even sure I want things to change, but if you want me to pivot, I am willing as long as you go with me. I need your plan, not mine. I trust your plans for me are good, and I can’t wait to see where I end up as I follow your way through these changes. Please help me to pivot in the direction you have for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
