Sometimes, life feels like walking through a foggy forest.
You know there’s a destination, but the twists and turns, the hills and valleys, and the unclear paths can leave you feeling unsure, stuck, or even scared.
In those moments, we often cry out, “God, where are You? Which way should I go?”
The good news is that Scripture makes it clear: God doesn’t leave His children wandering aimlessly.
He is a good Shepherd who goes before us, a Father who orders our steps, and a faithful Guide who never lets go of our hand.
Trusting God to lead your path doesn’t mean you’ll always know what comes next.
It means trusting the One who does.
His ways are higher, His thoughts deeper, and His timing perfect.
Whether you’re making a big decision, healing from loss, or simply trying to follow Him daily, the Bible offers unshakable assurance: God will lead you, and He won’t lead you astray.
