A Devotional On Becoming Who God Sees (Not Who Others Want You To Be)

Becoming isn’t sudden — it is a process shaped by the small choices you make every day, the healing you allow yourself to feel, the boundaries you begin to honor, and the faith you learn to stand on.

When you pray over who you’re becoming in 2026, you are not asking God to rush the journey. You’re asking Him to guide it, to refine it, and to help you grow into a version of yourself that reflects His hand at every stage.

Read Rebecca Simon devotionals for more encouragement.

There are parts of you that God is strengthening this year — your resilience, your discernment, your emotional maturity, your confidence, your discipline. And there are parts of you He is inviting you to release — the fear that kept you small, the doubt that made you question your worth, the habits that drained your energy, and the patterns that were never meant to follow you into who you’re becoming next.

This is the year where alignment matters more than approval. Where healing matters more than hurry. Where purpose matters more than pressure. God is shaping you in ways that may feel subtle at first: a shift in perspective, a clearer boundary, a gentler heart, a renewed determination, a deepening peace. But these small shifts create the kind of transformation that lasts.

Praying over your future self is powerful because it reminds you that growth doesn’t have to be perfect to be real. You don’t have to have every step figured out. You just have to keep choosing the person God is calling you to become — with intention, with humility, with faith.

So here’s to the version of you that is rising in 2026:

The you who is more grounded.
More courageous.
More intentional.
More aligned with God’s voice than your fears.

May this be the year where your becoming is blessed, your direction is clear, and your future begins to reflect everything God knew you could be.

A Short Prayer

God,

Shape the version of me I’m growing into this year. Strengthen the qualities You have planted in me, and gently remove what no longer reflects who I am called to be. Teach me to move with intention, to choose with wisdom, and to trust the path You are laying out in front of me.

Let 2026 be the year where discipline meets grace, where courage outweighs hesitation, and where purpose becomes clearer with every step I take.

Steady my emotions. Guard my thoughts. Guide my decisions. Bring people into my life who encourage growth, speak truth, and reflect the kind of love that comes from You.

Bless the habits I’m building, the opportunities I’m preparing for, and the healing I’m finally ready to receive. Let my character deepen, my confidence strengthen, and my faith become the foundation for every new chapter.

And God, help me to honor the process, not just the outcome. Let the person I’m becoming be someone who walks with peace, leads with love, and trusts You completely.

Amen.
