Oh, God
I claim you as shepherd of my life because you are the one who gently steers me along the pathway. I don’t really need anything because you are the great provider who gives me sustenance for my physical, mental, and spiritual needs. When I am open to you, you have me rest in green pastures of peace. You take me to still waters that refresh and renew my soul. Because you have become Emmanuel in my life, you bring me along paths that are right for my journey with you. At those times when life grows complicated, dark, or troublesome, I have no fear of what the evil one might do, because you are there alongside me. I can sense your guiding presence during the worst possible situations. You set a table of abundant provision for me in the midst of my struggling. You provide the oil of mercy to soothe me so much that my cup overflows. Without any doubt, my life will be infused with goodness and mercy for all my remaining days. Thereafter, I will be housed with you forever.
