The Lord Is My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.
He lets me lie down in fields of green grass. He leads me beside quiet waters.
He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths for the honor of his
name.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid. You are
with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me right in front of my enemies. You pour oil on my
head. My cup runs over.
I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
And I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23: 1-6
When do you find quiet time for God? We are a connected people.
We have phones, email, cell phones, and it is sometimes hard to get away from
it all.
What we need is quiet time, just for ourselves and God. Count
your blessings, say thank you, and ask for help and courage for another day on
this earth. Your life, no matter your circumstances, is what you make of it.
Some people may be physically imprisoned, others mentally imprisoned. Accept
Jesus and those shackles go away.
Start with a prayer for guidance, then read the Bible, and close
with a short prayer that includes adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and
supplication. It is vital to take time today to connect with the Lord, who is
our life.
Time spent with God is time well spent.
