Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”O Lord, shepherd of our souls, because we have faith in restoration from sin and divine leadership in righteous paths.

In the valley overshadowed by death You arte with us to protect, secure, encourage, and give external hope. Our cup truly is filled to overflowing as we count Your bountiful blessings that each day is filled with hope and purpose under the guardian care of our shepherd.

Would You prevent us from yielding to the tendency that is so strong within us to go astray. Grant us courage to live this day as though it was our last. Help this person who seeks You now that Jesus Christ the great shepherd, gave his life for the sheep and through his death we have life through personal faith in Him.

Amen.
