I am leading you, step by step, through your life. Hold My
hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your
future looks uncertain and feels flimsy—even precarious. That is how it
should be.
Secret things belong to the Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you.
Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me. I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that, and the one after that. Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed and disclosed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may do all of the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by
God] is he whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom
the Lord does not impute wickedness, and in whose
spirit there is no deceit. When I kept silent about
my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all
the day long. For day and night Your hand [of
displeasure] was heavy upon me; My energy (vitality,
strength) was drained away as with the burning heat of summer. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not hide my wickedness; I said, “I will confess [all] my transgressions to the Lord”; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah. Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found; Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him. You are my hiding place; You, Lord, protect me from trouble; You surround me with songs and shouts of deliverance. Selah.I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding, whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him]; Shout for joy, all you upright in heart. Psalm 38
