My child, I am urging you today not to rush through into the new season. Instead, take a pause, and progress into the new through a time of reassessment and reflection.
I will give you awareness of your disappointments and pain, and I will uproot them from your life so that they do not take hold. Give everything to me that has been weighing you down and holding you back, and I will help you to move into this new season well. I will give you wisdom on how to move forward so you can go in victory; with ease, purpose and vision.
Take some time to sit and reflect with me. Bring to me any pain and disappointment you carry and allow me to restore you in this process, ejecting brokenness and heartache.
Take some time to look back at what has gone well over this past season and consider with me what needs to be laid down in order for you to move forward.
Activation:
1. Spend time journaling your thoughts on the previous season. List what you think went well. Once you have done that, sit and ask God to show you His thoughts on your reflections and ask Him how you can move forward with His wisdom. Let Him encourage you and guide you.
2. Journal your reflections on anything you felt was difficult from the previous season. Write down any hurts or pain you may be carrying. Don’t rush this step. This may be uncomfortable, but once you acknowledge the pain, you can see what is in your heart. Write down your thoughts and feelings. If you are unsure, ask God to show you if there is any pain that is unresolved in your heart.
3. Ask God what you need to let go of so you can move forward – is there unforgiveness or anger that you are holding on to? Repent as the Spirit leads, and then ask Him to bring healing and restoration. Journal all that He shows you and rest in Him as he counsels your heart and prepares you to step into the new season.

Psalm 147:3 (NLT)
