The Lord is My Shepherd Prayer

Praying Psalm 23 (crosswalk.com)

 

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:1-6

 

 

This well-known Psalm is so rich with peace and blessing for all our days. Yet often we can become so “familiar” with popular verses and chapters of God’s word, that they can almost lose the important message that He is wanting to instill within our hearts. Praying God’s words back to Him, and meditating on them verse by verse, can help us to remember his goodness, and be strengthened by his truths.
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.” v.1 – He leads us, He guides us, He’s always with us, and we can be assured and feel safe under His protective care.

 

 

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul…” v.2-3 – He knows where true rest and blessing are found, and leads us there, He restores, He refreshes, He brings peace and goodness.
