I Look with Pity at what I see an Empty Shell that use to be me Pain Reget and Lonely Years Lost in Shame and Unshed Tears An Emptiness Beyond Compare A Loniness I Can Not Bear, Leaving my Heart in Despair and Seeking in my Soul for Someone to Care. When in Love I Bowed my Knees Jesus Set me Free and Filled the Void that Engulfed me. The Wonder and Joy of His Hope and Love these are The Miracles from God Above...Vipin I wrote the first part of these Poems when I was 25 the Parts about Jesus were added many years later when I started writting Poetry again. There was a Sign and Wonder that others witnessed they said God was Anointing them. Oh How He Loves You Vipin and Me, He Gave His Life...
I cant Dim this Maddening Flame that Burns with Desire and Shame The want the Need is there the Passion I must Share. Yet deep within my Heart is a Longing I cant Impart a Tenderness I have Never known a Love I have never Shown. Who can Set me Free from this Bondage that Imprisons me. When in Love I Bowed my knees Jesus was The Key and He Let this Captive be Open Whole and Free.
I am grateful for the 23rd Psalm. Many times as I go through so many things in life I run to this Psalm. I read it over and over. Many times when I approach Surgery, a hard Test, a Procedure or lots of things in life. I know that God is with me in the shadows of death. I also know that Goodness and Mercy are following me . The Holy Ghost is my Comforter when I am helpless. Praise God!
I love my Lord with every bit of my heart. I believe in his word and his promises. If I find my self walking in an unfamiliar place I shall lean on him. If I find my self laying on a bed of nails I remember who is holding me and laying with me and suddenly that bed of nails becomes a green pasture for me to lay down. He is my Great Comforter. I love you Lord. JJS
I have gone thru a tough time financially the past three years and it has just about drained me. But praise God I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Recently God woke me up at 4 am to tell me to pray and read his word for the next two hours. He also told me to read Palms 23 and I had no idea what it was. I soon recognized it and praise God it is seeing me thru.
When I heard the 23rd Psalm, it touched my heart so deeply. I could not read it without shedding tears of love and wonder for our Father God, Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I was at that time walking through a dark valley of my life. It lasted a few more years after that. But, now I am free. Through all those years it has comforted me and pulled me through victoriously. Thank you my Lord
By family request I will be reading the 23rd Psalm in a memorial for a dear 95 years young lady. It is "her favorite". Says it all, for her faith, for her graciousness and for the love she invested in everyone around her. That investment continuous to bless us all. We will miss her, but are filled with joy to have known her here and are celebrating her victory with Jesus. !!
I am walking through a dark valley in my life right now, but god's light and righteousness will lead me through, i will be lead like a sheep because he is my shepherd, and protector. i love him and i know he loves me
Marilyn, accept my sympathy! This is one of my favorite scriptures. When I feel depressed and feel like there is no-one to talk to I find myself saying this prayer and concentrating on the words, and it has helped me go through the most difficult times in my life. The words are powerful and so is the Almighty God all the time!
I'm going through a tough time right now, so this Psalm is helpful in getting me to focus on having a trusting and positive attitude. I appreciate read the thoughts of other people.
Most popular Psalm to me. Compare this Psalm with Jesus Christ ,the "Good Shepherd" who gave His life for us His "sheep" . Jesus said " I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out my hand" John 10:11,27,28 .
Stop-- and see how many things are happening in your Life now.. How can you change it to the opposite in God's word? Look at how the enemy is closing in. Stop the darkness of your mind. Put in the Light of your Heavenly Father. Focus on the Best way to change your situation. And no matter what-- give it to your Father and watch the changes begin. I have fought many battles of this world. GOD WON!!

Blessings -Anne, or as I'm often called by many all ages Grannie Annie.
I love this Psalms because there are so many promises for me. I thank God Daily for Goodness and Mercy following me all day long. Even when I didn t know that I needed Protection from danger surely they are with me. The Word says that He gives His Angels charge over us. Praise God for looking out for all of us. I give him special praises for taking care of me since my husband of 44 yrs died
No matter what situation we are facing, we are reminded in tis scripture that we should have fate in God as He is always with us and in control of our situation
