READ: PSALMS 25:1-5; 32:8; ISAIAH 30:21; JOHN 8:12

God is the one who guides my way,

Directs my path, and leads each day.

I want to go where He takes me,

Even in times when I can’t see.

The road for me is dark ahead.

He takes me by the hand and says,

“I know the path that you should take.

Trust me for the right choice to make.”

So I press on, holding His hand,

And with His strength, I always stand.

Turn to the left, turn to the right,

I trust Him because He’s my light.

I don’t know what the future holds,

But trust God’s plan to soon unfold.

He holds the future in His hand.

On His promises I will stand. • Brooke Morris

• Life can be confusing, especially when we don’t know what the future holds or we need help making a big decision. Thankfully, Jesus is always with us, even when we feel uncertain about His plans for us. When we feel afraid or anxious about the future, how might it help to imagine Jesus holding our hand, walking with us?

• God loves to help us discern the next steps to take, and He provides an abundance of wisdom through His Word (the Bible), His Holy Spirit, and His people (the church). Can you think of a time God gave you wisdom to make a decision about the future? What was that like? Consider taking a moment to thank Him for this.

• When we’re waiting to see how our circumstances turn out, what are some of God’s promises we can rest on? (Matthew 11:28-30; 28:20; Romans 8:35-39; James 1:5; Revelation 21:1-5)
