Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
He will prepare the way before you, even when the path feels demanding and the timing unclear. As you trust God’s will and remain steady through the journey, you often discover that strength grows, needs are met in unexpected ways, and the outcome becomes more than what you first hoped for.
Scripture
“And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us, that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.”—1 Nephi 17:2
Quote
“Exercising faith in Christ means trusting not only in God’s will but also in His timing. For He knows exactly what we need and precisely when we need it. When we submit to the will of the Lord, we will ultimately receive substantially more than that which we had desired.”—Amy A. Wright, “Christ Heals That Which Is Broken”

Living the Principle: He Will Prepare the Way Before You
- Practice submitting outcomes rather than plans by deliberately releasing one specific expectation you are holding tightly and choosing to move forward without renegotiating it internally. This trains trust in the Lord’s timing instead of measuring faithfulness by how quickly relief arrives.
- Strengthen endurance by noticing one recurring hardship and deciding in advance how you will respond without complaint when it resurfaces. Preparing your response ahead of time shifts your focus from resistance to resilience and steadies your heart during prolonged challenges.
- Look for evidence of provision in the middle of difficulty by identifying how your essential needs are being met even if conditions are not ideal. Acknowledging sustaining help where you once expected comfort builds confidence that the way is being prepared even while the journey continues.
