A Short Prayer For When You’ve Outgrown Your Old Self

Sometimes we’re ready to step into change, but our current life is holding us back. This is a short prayer for anyone who feels they’re stepping into a fresh version of themselves.

Dear God, today I come to you for help—I am ready to change my life, yet my old self is gripping tightly. I want to put off the former way of life and break free from the patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that are holding me back from living in your truth, so that I can have the energy to live the life you have planned for me.

Help me recognize the patterns that are limiting me and give me clarity on the deceitful desires that are corrupting my old self. Allow me to be renewed in the spirit of my mind so that my thoughts align with your truth and purpose. Guide me in each present moment to break these limitations so that I can be transformed into the person you created me to be—one who reflects your righteousness and holiness. Thank you for teaching me, through Christ, this path of transformation.

Amen.
