When You Can't See the Way Forward | Trusting God with the Next Step

What do you do when you don't know what comes next?

Maybe you're facing a difficult decision. Maybe the plans you were confident about suddenly feel uncertain. Or maybe you're simply asking God, “Where do I go from here?”

In this episode of Making a Way, Kelley talks honestly about those seasons when we can't see the path ahead—and how easy it is to ask God for certainty when what we really need is wisdom.

James 1:5 reminds us that when we lack wisdom, we can ask God. But sometimes His answer isn't a detailed roadmap. Sometimes He gives us enough light for the next faithful step.

Kelley shares a personal practice that has helped her recognize God's faithfulness in seasons of uncertainty: looking back through her journals. What once felt like pages of unanswered questions and prayers for help have become stones of remembrance—evidence of the ways God has met her before.

Together, we'll reflect on:

• What to do when you don't know which direction to take
• Why we often want certainty when God invites us to seek wisdom
• How remembering God's past faithfulness can strengthen our faith today
• What it means to take the next faithful step without knowing the whole plan
• How to trust God when the future feels unclear
• Why faithfulness doesn't always look dramatic—it can look like one small act of obedience

If you're navigating uncertainty, difficult decisions, a life transition, waiting, change, or a season where you simply can't see the way forward, this conversation is for you.

You don't have to have the whole journey figured out.

You can ask God for wisdom.
You can remember His faithfulness.
And you can take the next step.

James 1:5 — “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…”

You don't need enough light for the entire journey. You only need enough light for the next faithful step.

Making a Way is a faith-filled podcast for the road ahead—especially for the seasons when life doesn't look the way you expected and you're learning to trust God one step at a time.

If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that they don't have to see the whole road either.

And I'd love to hear from you: When was a time God proved faithful even though you couldn't see the way forward?
