Psalm 23 The Lord is my teacher

The Lord is my teacher; 
I shall not fail.
He opens a world of possibility; 
He quenches my thirst and curiosity. 
He banishes my doubts;
He leads me in paths of discovery
For learning’s sake.
Though I walk amidst a world of darkness and ignorance, 
I will have confidence; 
For You are with me; 
Your teachings and advice protect me.
You nourish my mind and heart; I am prepared for any adversity;
You give me wisdom; 
And I know more each day.
Surely the light of education
Shall be with me always;
I will be guided by my Teacher’s words 
Forever.
