A little bit of encouragement...

Back in October of 1998, I was taking a discipleship course at the church I was attending. I cannot remember what course it was, but during this particular assignment, we were told to "rewrite" the 23rd Psalm as "OUR PSALM 23." So I sat deep in thought, and I finally came up with something. Well, I've kept it in my Bible ever since, and I often turn to it and read it for some encouragement. I came across it this morning while doing a little bit of reading, and I thought I would share it. Maybe it can offer someone else some encouragement like it has me. And -- if you think about it...why don't you take the time to write YOUR 23rd Psalm. It may be just what you need in times of struggle and worry. God bless all of you.

My 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my daddy, I shall not be afraid.

He knows the decisions I will face,

He guides me in the right direction,

He gives me strength.

He leads me down life's highway

with faith and understanding.

Even though I alone

cannot understand the depth of His love,

I will seek His will,

for He knows best.

His love and peace,

they comfort me.

He will always stand beside me

no matter how alone I feel.

He gives me the faith I need

to face each tomorrow.

Yes, I will trust and follow Him

all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of my daddy

forever.
