“The Lord is good and does what is right; He shows the proper path to those who go astray.”
Psalm 25:8 NLT
There are seasons when it feels like we’re all just stumbling in the dark, unsure where to step next. Uncertainty and weariness can creep in, raising questions about whether God is truly leading. Doubt whispers, Is God really guiding? Can He truly be trusted?
Take heart, sister. You’re not alone in these struggles. More importantly, God is never absent. He is with us, guiding us even when the way forward seems unclear.
Psalm 25:8 reminds us that the Lord is good. Not just sometimes. Not just when things go as planned. God is always good. His character is unwavering. His heart is kind. And He delights in leading His children.
This verse says God shows the proper path — not just to those who have it all together, but to those who go astray. To those who have wandered, doubted, or struggled to discern His voice. Isn’t that incredible?
God’s guidance is not reserved for the perfect. It’s extended to the lost, the searching, the unsure. To all of us.
So how do we keep seeking Him? How do we recognize His voice? By slowing down. Making space. Opening His Word and asking Him to speak. Quieting the noise of the world and tuning our hearts to His gentle whisper. And when He leads, we follow — not because the destination is always clear, but because we trust who He is.
Keep seeking, keep listening, keep following Jesus. Even if the road ahead feels uncertain, God is sure. He will never leave you. He will always lead you. And His path is always good.
Where in life do you need to trust God’s goodness today?

I love the encourage dailies.i find them motivational, encouraging and relatable. I also love the reading soft reading boice. I try to listen each day however when I click on the listen button, it doesn’t always connect. Some days it connects right away, other days I can’t open it. Is there another way I can listen to the audio version. Are there others that have this question.
I am struggling in this dark season that I am in. I have an adult son with disabilities that my husband and I care for daily. My older sister almost 2 yrs ago had some strokes. I’ve had step up and take her in. Caretaking for 2 is A LOT!!!
I’m struggling to understand why the Lord would allow all this. I know he has a plan and purpose but I need supernatural strength and endurance while I’m in the thick of it. Please pray we will be given wisdom and guidance in this situation for my husband and I. We are exhausted, and hopefully to be able to get her housing. Also pray doors will be open this second go round for her disability.
Arnesia,
I am lifting your heartfelt requests up in prayer to our Heavenly Father, so the daily burdens of your caregiving will be eased for you and your husband. May God bring relief to you and your family. Amen and amen!
Blessings,

Nice devotional. Thank you. A reminder of how we actually go about seeking him.
Amesia,
Having been in your shoes for the past two years caring for a difficult family member who just passed away, I understand. It can feel like everything js breaking around us, when in fact the only thing breaking is us. We resist trying to do it all on our own. Spread your arms, lay your head back, and fall into the arms of Jesus. Stop trying to do it all on your own. One of the highest callings a person can have is to care for the basis needs of another. It is the most Christ-like thing we can do. No earthly rewards, but ones laid up in heaven that will not perish. It is a ministry. And we are never more like Christ in those humble moments when we care for the needs of others without recognition. It can be a humbling experience. Like washing the feet of another.
Eccliastes tells us to every beginning there is an end, and there will be an end to this too. But if you can think of it, with the help of the Holy Spirit, you will see what a privilege it was and cherish the moments you were blessed with. You were never more like Jesus at those times.

In the season I have been in for the past 54 years,I am struggling with everything. I never doubt God, Jesus or my wonderful Holy Spirit, but often I think I missed His voice as I am so busy and then I get really mad at myself. I am 77 years old and things are not as easy as when I was 35 or so. I know that God has his own Timeline for his plan of our lives. There are times when I do wonder, why is it taking so long? Did I do something to make the Lord and Jesus angry at me and somehow I didn’t go back to pray for forgiveness. My husband has the violent dementia and tried to kill me, my 1 child a 54 year old son kept telling me I was lying about his father and it was just old age. Over 3 years ago he finally called me and told me I was lying, a drug addict ( What ) and he no longer considers me his mother, and I have one grandchild who was 11 when this started and is not approaching 15. My son said you can never see or talk to him again. It is something that I can’t forgive my son for. My grandson is the love of my life and I just can’t seem to not cry every day about this. My son found out his father really was sick, but he never came back to me. I just keep praying, but I get to the point that maybe not all things can get fixed. Then I get afraid especially at my age. Thank you (incourage) women for your words every day. It truly is the only thing that helps me to get up in the morning and put 1 foot ahead of the other and maybe have some hope for that day. Love to you all……………………Betsy Basile
With the health of two dear friends…one dying with brain cancer, and the other a four-time cancer survivor who now has found another tumor.
Said a prayer for your two friends with cancer for them and their Families plus you. It not nicer to see anyone ill. You think why we can say lots of things. Like with my Husband Mum years ago on 61 when die of cancer she was saved. Who never smoked and he has an Aunty who was a heavy smoker. Gave it up about 15 years ago is in 90teets. You think why did this happen to my Husband Mum who never smoked and his Aunt still alive who smoked. It can be ill devided world you think. But you had to keep trusting God no matter and not question him why when things like this happen. Like to your too friends it seems unfair. But you have to keep trust God no matter what and praying for people like your two friends. Yes it hard but we have to. I feel for you and your two friends plus their Families. Remember God is with you all and his loving arms are round you all. Love Dawn Ferguson-Little Enniskillen Co.Fermanagh N.Ireland xx
In Courage,
Life can get noisy, dark & hard. In those times we need to slow down, take time & listen for God’s still small voice. Put margin on your plate. Make time daily for rest & quiet with Him. It is the only way to calm your anxious souls.
Blessings 🙂
I need to surrender everything to him.
Trusting God to show me the job I should be doing . Many doors have closed and the one open is not ideal . Praying to be in his will and finding peace in the journey .
This word has confirmed I need to trust Him to take me in the direction I am to go .
