Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine ememies;
thou annointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Words of Comfort by Jim Cymbala
God will be faithful to see you through
your storm and time of difficulty.
Don't look down in discouragement,
but look up to him, who has promised
to stay with you even "through the
valley of the shadow of death"
(Psalm 23:4). Did the Lord begin this
beautiful work of grace in your life
only to let you fall into some black hole
of hopelessness and despair? Never!
Lord, I bring my burdens and heartaches to you at the throne of grace.
You have promised to help me in my time of trouble and need.
I rest upon your word and cast every one of my cares upon you.
Work on my behalf so that others might know the awesomeness of your power
and the faithfulness of your love. In Christ's Name, Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.
