The Actual Reason People are Scared of Changes

because often change means a loss.

A ton has changed in the past year. If you’ve read any of my other posts. You know the full story of that. I’ve also learned that I’ve been fortunate to experience some fun changes and that the fact that they’ve been happy changes has been part of what makes them easier to handle. After talking with the rest of the youth group leadership team at my church, I realized why the changes have been relatively easy for me – because there hasn’t been much loss; and I am so grateful for that.

Change is tough, especially when it means a loss that you don’t want at the time. When you lose something you didn’t want to change is hard, when you miss out on opportunity change is hard, when you find yourself a step behind change is hard.

Changes often bring so much good though, from new opportunities, new perspectives, maybe new friends or something else. So, after you’ve prayed over something, trust God with the change and take it in stride. Know that there may be a lot more to gain.
