My Shepherd the Lord

The LORD is my Shepherd
I have ALL of my needs, wants
And desires met
To help others who come across my path.
As I lie down in my bed at night
I know that He keeps us safe.
He created us, not ourselves
I will enter His courts
With praise and thanksgiving
To honor His holy name.
He leads me in paths of His righteousness
For His name’s sake,
I will trust Him will ALL of my heart.
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
For I know He is with me.
I will say, LORD, You are my Shepherd
My refuge and my fortress
I trust You with ALL of my heart.
You have prepared a table before me
In the present of my enemies
And anointed my head with oil,
Covering my whole being,
Surely Your mercy and grace
Shall follow me
ALL the days of my life,
And I will dwell in Your house
ALL the days of my live
Because You are my Shepherd
And in Jesus name I pray.

A beautifully written prayer based on Psalm 23 and a couple other psalms I noticed. Nicely done, Julius! Blessings, Kim M
