The short answer

Deuteronomy 31:8 says, 'The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.' You may not know what lies ahead, but you know who goes before you.

What Scripture Says

"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

"I will lead the blind by a way they did not know, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them."

Isaiah 42:16

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye upon you."

Psalm 32:8

"in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3:6

The unknown is frightening because we cannot see or control what's coming. But God promises something better than a roadmap: Himself. He goes before you into every unfamiliar place. He turns darkness into light on the path ahead. You don't need to see the whole road — you just need to trust the Guide who already knows every step.
