No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

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.”

Lord God my Father,

You are close, open my eyes so I may see you at all times. Protect me from looking away from you. Darkness is constantly trying to smother me, help me to fix my eyes on you so it has no place to rest on me. You go before me and clear the path, help me to trust you know what you are doing and not question you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
