God Goes Before You | Your Nightly Prayer

When you’re struggling, grieving, or simply worn down, the approaching holidays and a new year can feel heavier than hopeful. In this episode, we’re reminded that God does not ask you to pretend everything is fine—He meets you honestly in the hard places. Deuteronomy points to a tender promise spoken to Israel on the edge of uncertainty: the Lord goes before His people and will be with them. Like a Good Shepherd, God prepares the path, provides what you need, and makes room for rest along the way. Even if you feel alone or abandoned, you are not walking into tomorrow—or into a new year—by yourself. God is already there, making a way.
