I'm walking into so much I don't know, conversations I haven't had, challenges I haven't faced, moments I can't predict, but You're already there, ahead of me in all of it.
Teach me what it means that You go before me, that I'm never the first to arrive anywhere, that You've surveyed what's ahead and prepared the ground before I get there.
You go before me as my advance guard, smoothing rough places, opening doors I need opened, closing ones I shouldn't enter, working ahead of me in ways I'll never fully know.
Help me walk with confidence because You've gone ahead, trusting that wherever I'm going today, you've already been, that nothing will surprise You or catch You unprepared.
Remind me that going before me is love in action, your care demonstrated by preparing my path, protecting my steps, orchestrating what needs to happen before I arrive.
Give me peace about what's ahead because You're already there, courage to step forward knowing You've gone first, trust that your advance work makes every path safe.
Let me walk today knowing the Lord goes before me, confident because You're ahead of me, secure because wherever I'm going, You're already there.
Psalm 16:8 ... I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. ❤
