Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
You will supply every need according to your riches and your will, Lord.
You make me lie down in green pastures. You lead me in paths of righteousness for your name's sake.
In the quiet and the stillness, in you, Lord, I find peace. In the middle of the storm, you are my peace in the midst of it.
Even when I stumble, when I doubt, when I make mistakes, you do not shame me, but you guide me back to your heart and your Word.
Your love is a love that is unfailing, steadfast, unchanging, and unconditional!!
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
I will never be alone, even in the unknowns, in my highest highs, and my lowest lows, on mountaintops and in the valleys lows, you will never leave my side.
You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Your mercies are new every morning.
Even in trials, the hardships and tribulations, even in the storms, you have called me to count all trials all joy, not matter what may come.
In the battles, it may look like I'm surround, but the truth is, I'm surround by you and only you.
Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in your house forever.
In you and you alone I rest, for you are enough, you are my Shepherd, my Guide, and my God.
Amen! Soli Deo Gloria!!
