A Prayer about Our Shepherd’s Care

[Note: Often the best prayers come straight from Scripture. 

Over the next three days, I am taking the simple language of the NLT translation of Psalm 23 and making it into a personal prayer. Please join me].

Lord,

You are our shepherd; 

I have all that I need.

[Name some of the needs he has provided].

You let me rest in green meadows;

You lead me beside peaceful streams.

You renew my strength.

[Name ways he is inviting you to rest and strengthening you; confess ways you resist resting].

You guide me along right paths, 

bringing honor to your name.

[Name ways he is guiding you and bringing honor to his name].

In the name of our Saving Shepherd.

Amen.

Read Psalm 23.
