Lord, Go before us.

 Amen. "Lord, go before us" is a prayer of trust and dependence—a cry for God to lead the way, to prepare the path, and to be our guide through every unknown. It is the acknowledgment that we cannot see what lies ahead, but He can. And He has promised to go before us.

🙏 A Prayer for the Lord to Go Before You

Father,

I ask that You would go before us.

Prepare the way that we cannot see.

Level the mountains that stand in our path.

Break down the gates that block our way.

Go before us into every situation,

Every conversation,

Every decision,

Every unknown.

Lead us in the path of righteousness.

Guide us in Your truth.

Direct our steps according to Your will.

We trust You with our today.

We trust You with our tomorrow.

We trust You with our forever.

For You are our Shepherd,

And You go before us.

"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8)

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

I declare today:

The Lord goes before us.

He prepares the way.

He protects our path.

He is with us always.

We will not be afraid.

We will not be discouraged.

We will not be shaken.

For the One who goes before us

Is the One who holds all things,

And He will never let us go.
