There are times in our lives when things change. Sometimes we see it coming and sometimes we don't and sometimes we see it coming but hide our face in denial in hopes that it isn't real. Irregardless change is one of the few true constants in life. We all have to deal with it and some of us handle it better than others.
Change is a time when the zombie inside can wreak havoc in our lives if we let it. Change by it's very nature brings uncertainty and that can lead to anxiety and fear. It is when we are in these kinds of emotional states that we are most vulnerable to its influence.
In times like these we need to be on our knees. We need to be not just asking God for provision or direction but we need to spend at least as much time if not more listening for His voice and not making any move until we know we have heard from Him. Of course once you have you need to act and with decisiveness and step out in faith. Don't listen to the voices of fear and doubt, that's the zombie trying to get you to act impulsively or irrationally. Once you go down that road it can be awfully hard to recover.
My wife and I currently find ourselves in a time of uncertainty and we have for several months now. While things aren't heading exactly where we had hoped we are praying and trusting God to lead us and guide us by His Holy Spirit and we are constantly on our guard against the zombie inside...
