Psalm 23

 

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.


Prayer :

Abba Father,

You are our shepherd, and we acknowledge that in you, we lack nothing. We find rest in your presence, lying down in green pastures and being led beside still waters. You restore our souls and guide us in paths of righteousness for your name's sake.

Even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil, for you are with us. Your rod and staff comfort us, assuring us of your protection and guidance. In moments of darkness and uncertainty, we trust in your presence and find solace in your promises.

You prepare a table before us, even in the presence of our enemies. You anoint our heads with oil, and our cups overflow with your blessings. Your goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives.

We thank you for your constant care, provision, and protection. As we dwell in your house forever, help us to live in the confidence of your love and the assurance of your promises.

In the name of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, we pray.

Amen.
