Green Pastures—Praying Through Psalm 23

I long for a drink to moisten my soul. In the shimmering heat, ahead I see an oasis of lush green vegetation with a spring of cool, clear water.

My Shepherd–Praying Through Psalm 23

He can fulfill every want, every need if I let Him. He is my constant companion, full of mercy and love.

Breathe

In the quiet of the morning, tune out the noise of the world and be filled with Jesus’ presence.

Sunday Praise

But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,For You have been my strongholdAnd a refuge in the day of my distress.O my strength, I will sing praises to You;For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness. – Psalm 59:16-17, NASB
