Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
We often make careful plans and then feel unsettled or anxious when the Lord leads us somewhere unexpected. Faith means moving forward with wisdom while remaining humble enough to let Him redirect our steps.
Scripture
“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.”—Proverbs 16:9
Quote
“I testify that the Lord will guide us to—and through—our next steps. He will more than match our efforts with His power if we are willing to keep trying, repenting, and moving forward with faith in our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.”—Randall K. Bennett, “Your Next Step”

- Write down one plan or outcome that has become a source of anxiety.
- Pray specifically for help recognizing the next faithful step instead of asking to see the entire path.
- Act on one clear impression today, even if the final outcome remains uncertain.
