The Lord Is My Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, 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 your 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

There are so many things in life that we can just say, “by God’s grace.” Family members who narrowly escaped something or ourselves, and in that single point in time, we know that we will be okay, that God is there for us.

When fear is overwhelming, the Lord is there. His comforting presence will carry us through our deepest trials.

Peace is the presence of God.
