263: How to Hold the Tension of Change

walk in love. with Brooke & T.J. Mousetis

Some seasons feel like they're unraveling faster than we can keep up—new jobs, new rhythms, new roles, new places. But the hardest part isn't always the change itself… it's the tension between what was and what’s not yet here. Today we’re talking about how to hold that tension without needing to solve it right away, and what it looks like to trust God in the middle, when the story’s still being written.

🙏 A Prayer for the Unraveling and the Remaking

God of the middle places,
You see me here—
not where I was,
not yet where I’m going.

You see the boxes half-packed,
the ideas half-formed,
the heart half-settled,
the faith that flickers and flares.

You are not waiting for me at the finish line.
You are not rushing me forward.
You are with me here—
in the quiet,
in the swirl,
in the ache and the anticipation.

So when the way feels cloudy,
when I freeze or flail or fight to fix it all,
remind me that tension is not failure—
it is formation.

Help me trust what You are doing
beneath what I can see.
Help me breathe in Your patience
and exhale my pressure.

And when it all feels too uncertain to hold,
hold me.

You are not the God of easy answers—
You are the God who stays.
Steady in the swirl,
gentle in the stretch,
faithful in the waiting.

I don’t have to see the whole path
to know You’re guiding my steps.

Amen.
