Encouragement Devotion: Facing Uncertainty with Courage
God Is Steady When Life Feels Uncertain
Uncertainty can feel like walking through a fog—you can’t see what’s ahead, and it’s hard to know where to step next. It stirs anxiety, fear, and the overwhelming pressure to figure everything out. But here’s the peace-giving truth: God already knows what’s ahead, and He is walking with you every step of the way.
Even when the path isn’t clear, His presence is. He doesn’t promise to show you the whole map, but He does promise to guide you one step at a time. In the unknown, you can find security in His unchanging character.
You don’t have to be fearless to move forward—you just need faith. And God will give you the courage you need—not all at once, but moment by moment, day by day.
