  - Welcome to the divine five one five podcast.
• 0:16
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 0:22
  - Hello, and welcome to daily prayers with Valerie
• 0:25
  - Rocha. Today's prayer topic is
• 0:28
  - how to be ready for a new season.
• 0:32
  - Scripture text comes from Ecclesiastes
• 0:34
  - three one. It says there is a time
• 0:36
  - for everything and a season for every activity
• 0:39
  - under the heavens.
• 0:41
  - Well, the problem is that sometimes God has
• 0:44
  - opened the door,
• 0:45
  - but emotionally we're still standing in the hallway.
• 0:49
  - We're comparing the new season to the old
• 0:52
  - one,
• 0:53
  - questioning whether we're ready
• 0:54
  - and wondering whether we should go back.
• 0:58
  - And we struggle because readiness doesn't always feel
• 1:01
  - like confidence.
• 1:03
  - Sometimes readiness looks like willingness.
• 1:07
  - And
• 1:08
  - we may not feel completely ready,
• 1:12
  - but we can still be willing to follow
• 1:14
  - Him.
• 1:17
  - And that may be all God needs from
• 1:19
  - us to begin.
• 1:22
  - And although prayer helps us make room,
• 1:25
  - it also shifts our focus
• 1:28
  - and
• 1:29
  - pushes us to a position of readiness
• 1:32
  - as we ask God to lead us.
• 1:35
  - And our confidence isn't based solely on our
• 1:38
  - ability.
• 1:40
  - It's rooted in God's presence.
• 1:43
  - That being said, let's pray.
• 1:47
  - Heavenly father, prepare our heart for this new
• 1:50
  - season.
• 1:51
  - Release
• 1:53
  - us from comparison and fear and the need
• 1:56
  - to have everything figured out.
• 1:59
  - Give us a willing heart and confidence to
• 2:01
  - follow you wherever you lead.
• 2:04
  - In Jesus' name, amen.
• 2:07
  - You know, you may not feel completely ready,
• 2:11
  - but you can still be willing
• 2:14
  - wherever God leads.
• 2:16
  - The inner chamber is a place where you
• 2:18
  - can continue developing your prayer rhythm,
• 2:20
  - receive biblical encouragement, and grow alongside a Christ
• 2:23
  - centered community.
