Wellbeing
Change can feel unsettling, even when it is positive. Many people struggle during transitions, uncertainty, or new seasons of life.
Common Questions
Why does change feel so difficult?
Change often brings uncertainty and loss of familiarity, even when it’s positive. Feeling unsettled during transitions is very common.
How do I cope with uncertainty?
Focusing on small, manageable steps and staying connected to supportive people can help during uncertain times.
What if I feel lost or overwhelmed?
Feeling unsure during transitions doesn’t mean you’re failing. It’s okay to pause, ask questions, and seek support while finding your way forward.

Many people find that God’s presence becomes clearer over time, offering guidance and reassurance during new seasons.
