Preparing Space: Releasing to Receive

Monday; 15th December 2025

Scripture Focus

Isaiah 43:18–19

Matthew 11:28–30

Hebrews 4:9–11

Theme Reflection

Preparing space is an act of trust. What is truly ours does not require striving, knocking, or fighting. It flows from alignment, surrender, and readiness.

God often brings us into a new season not by adding more, but by asking us to release what we are still carrying.

As you look forward, allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what must be laid down, what must be confronted,

and what must be cleared to create capacity for what already has your name on it.

Exercises for the day

Name the Weight

What are you still carrying that no longer belongs in the next season?

(Be honest. Name it without justifying it.)

Confront the Challenge

What is the one recurring pattern, fear, habit, or mindset that has quietly limited your capacity?

What truth does God want you to face about it?

What Must Be Released

Write down three things you must intentionally leave behind to create space for what is ahead.

(These may be good things that are no longer God-things.)

Creating Capacity

If God were to place everything He has promised into your hands today,

where would it not fit?

What areas of your life need room, margin, or rest?

Receiving Without Striving

Sit quietly and pray this aloud:

“Lord, I release control. I receive what is mine without force.

I trust Your timing, Your way, and Your wisdom. In Jesus' name, Amen.”

Closing Prayer Prompt

Ask God to show you what belongs to you in the coming season, not what you must chase, but what you must be ready to steward.

Thank Him in advance for what is already prepared.
