Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.
When I let the Lord guide me, I really do have all that I need, even when things aren’t as I would like them. He renews me as I walk along and reminds me to look for Him in my everyday pursuits. He brings me light even in the midst of darker circumstances. His protection watches over me and guides me away from foolish mistakes. My cup is always full of His unfailing love, no matter what I’m walking through.
