Breaking Old Patterns
Being renewed by Christ while resisting the pull of the world
Day 3
“So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways…” — 1 Peter 1:14
Old patterns feel safe—even when they’re harmful. Familiar sin, familiar reactions, familiar escapes. But following Christ means refusing to live on autopilot. Transformation requires intentional resistance to what once controlled us.
God never calls us out of old ways without offering new strength. We don’t break patterns alone; we walk away from them with His help, one faithful decision at a time.
Prayer for your day
Jesus, give me courage to release old patterns that no longer belong in my life. Teach me to walk in obedience, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Put it in action
