A beautiful experience . I appreciate your instruction about familiarity bringing new insight
through Lectio. I noticed the very basic contrast from “walk through” to “dwell”. Although I’ve been praying this psalm for 45 years, the fluidity in Ps 23 is now bringing me deep comfort. Many thanks for sharing your gifts with us and many Blessings.🦋

Beautiful and powerful guided meditation. Thank you 🙏

Amen. I will be anxious of nothing for God doesn't give me the spirit of fear, but of power, love and self control. 🙏 Thank you for this time in prayer!

Thank you this is just what I needed. I know the Lord is with me.

I love the psalm. It encapsulates all we ask . Lovely to hear your interpretation of it.🙏🏻

This really helps us see how good our God is! Thank you 🙏🏼 😊

I very much liked the translation you used. What is it? I learned this Psalm from Original King James🙏🏼

Excellent!! Always a favorite & rather music was perfect. Than you or posting this. Bless you. 💕💕😇

A brief introduction to lectio divina at the beginning, then a measured, reflective-paced reading of Psalm 23 with soft music. I enjoyed the long spaces with music only between each reading of the psalm. Very simple but inviting practice of connecting with God through lectio divina.

This is an amazing guided meditation. It really captures the message of the psalm and the promise of God. Thank you.
