I like Psalms 23 - I pray it fir myself often- I start with
"You Lord You are my Shepherd"
I use it throughout as my own prayer"
I believe He is with me,
In view of Psalms 23 one must be mindful all of the Goodness of God. Let me say it this way- even if individuals are going through storms or challenges in life-God will give you comfort in time of your storms. Not only that but God will feed you in times of your storms even while the enemy is full press against you.
Truly I realize how much I appreciate this psalm,I recite it back to the Lord with my daily prayers and it has been instrumental in my relationship with Him.It creates an intimacy with Him because He desires to be intimate with us and as His works speak to our they become alive and take us beyond ourselves to relationship with the Lord that is delicately intimate. An example of His Love for us.Joy
I trust in The Lord with all my heart but I need to be better at sharing the word with others. I prey often but not enough, I read my bible and prey for forgiveness from our Shepard. I feel God at work in my life, I am aware when I say or do something wrong and I'm trying to be a better Christian. I won't stop trying.
My Shepard is the Lord and my Pastor i want for nothing he leads i follow something i need to do more of.it teaching me daily to have an understanding with him. So my prayers are always to learn and be a doer of the word and not just a hearer of it. So i will dwell in the house of the Lord meaning i will go into the church for the rest of my life to have a relationship with the Lord and do right
I find it especially vs5 because I had a very serious problems getting my qualifications at tertiary but I prayed with this book of Psalms and God proved that His word and His promise does not change.Now I work as an educator through Him
Trusting in the Lord with all of your heart is not always that easy as humans, we have a natural tendency for self-preservation and when we rely on our own power we usually fail. God is awesome and I am learning to trust in Him for ALL of my needs (big and small).
God is showing us how much he loves us by taking care of our every need all we have too do is trust him no matter what happens just give our self too him
John, The 23rd Psalm is probably one of the most known and remembered of all psalms, and truly one of my favorites, looking at your comment, I thought of the last verse; surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever., in "goodness-mercy" or"grace-forgiveness" in Christ the shepherd; we have righteousness and eternal life. Amen
psalm 23 provides me with the a sense of well being and an appreciation for things I had taken for granted. My loving wife, the strength of my father. Though I fear, I fear not because God is with me. I repent the sins of my life and ask to be forgiven so that perhaps I too may live in the fertile pastures of heaven.
Martha, Where and who in the Bible says God dances over the elect while they sleep?
Dig deep in the scripture and you will learn what God is doing as he sits on his heavenly throne.
Psalms is a book of songs and prayers. The verses you can actually sing them. This book helps me in so many different ways it held me to meditate on God, it gives me strength and encouragement. It's a book when you pray God hears you in your most trouble times.
For sure i like reading Psalms 23;1-6 it always makes my day smooth it talks of how God is my defender and near to me all the time and a song is formed from that chapter i like that song, knowing that LORD is my shepherd.
