Turning Leaves, Turning Hearts: 5 Scriptures to Help Our Hearts Navigate the Changing Season

This changing season may be God’s invitation to lay down what you have been carrying and allow Him to refresh your spirit. It could be habits that leave you discouraged, a relationship that drains more than it gives, or simply the heavy weight of expectations you were never meant to shoulder alone.

God is fighting battles on our behalf, and just as Isaiah reminds us, God is always doing a new thing, if only we have eyes to perceive it.

Life can feel confusing and disappointing, but Scripture anchors us in truth: victory belongs to us if we persevere. With that promise in mind, let’s look at five Scriptures that encourage our hearts as we walk through the transitions of fall.

1. Seedtime and Harvest: Sowing in Faith

Scripture
"As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”- Genesis 8:22

Change often feels uncertain. But Genesis 8:22 anchors us in a timeless truth: God’s rhythms never fail. As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest will continue.

Every word we speak, every choice we make, and every act of love or service is a seed. Even when we feel weary, frustrated, or unsure, we can still plant seeds of faith, kindness, and obedience. And when we do, we can trust that God will bring the harvest in His time.

The beauty of seedtime and harvest is that we don’t control the outcomes; God does. Our role is to remain faithful and sow seeds. His role is to provide healing, provision, and growth.

So, if you’re in a season where the leaves are turning and you’re not sure what’s next, focus on sowing good seed. Don’t grow weary. The harvest will come.

Reflection Question
What kind of seeds are you sowing right now with your time, words, and actions? What other seeds can you plant to heighten the impact of your harvest?
