This Psalm from the Message Bible is a beautiful piece of truth and poetry. I encourage you to make it your prayer. Speak it out loud several times and take some time to reflect on what part speaks to you the most.

From the Quiet,

Pastor Joshua

Psalm 23 (MSG)

1-3 God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing.

You have bedded me down in lush meadows,

you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to

your word, you let me catch my breath

and send me in the right direction.

4 Even when the way goes through Death Valley,

I’m not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty

shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure.

5 You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of

my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup

brims with blessing.

6 Your beauty and love chase after me every day of

my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the

rest of my life.
