psalm 23

when i am drained and vulnerable and in danger from threats i do not know and will face challenges i cannot foresee, he protects me and allows me to rest and regain my strength. when my emotions are roiled in doubt diappointment shame and guilt he brings me back to peace and to a new wholeness because he accepts me. he helps me to be faithful against all my natural tendencies, because my being faithful matters to him. when i face the loss of my hopes and dreams he is there with me, and he bids me not to fear the uncertainty of losing what i treasure.

he gives me more than i need. when i am weakest and most tempted he affirms me with good things. i remember kind words friendships fellowship and smooth paths forgiveness open doors and answered pleas laughter health and cheer. he considers me worthy of his investment of time and blessing and he promises that there will be more good things to come.

he will ensure that i will have his best care as i follow him, and he promises me his help in my every situation even when i do not deserve it. and when all is done, he promises that i will go home to him.
