Life is full of transitions—sending children to college, moving to new cities, changing jobs, or letting go of roles and relationships that once felt essential. These seasons can feel like loss, but as Keri Eichberger reminds us in today’s prayer, God is never surprised by what we leave behind. He promises to give us hope and a future, even when the letting go is painful.
When we shift our perspective, we see that the memories we carry are gifts that never fade, and each new season opens the door to fresh blessings, opportunities, and joy. The God who has walked with us in the past is the same God who lovingly leads us into the future.
Main Takeaways
