Welcome to a moment of tranquility and contemplation guided by the timeless words of Psalm 23.

Whether for comfort in difficult times or as a source of strength and renewal,

This beautiful psalm offers solace and reassurance,

Reminding you that you are not alone and that there is a higher power looking out for you.

Saying these words aloud or silently can serve as a declaration of trust,

Reinforcing your faith in divine care and guidance.

Praying Psalm 23 can offer numerous benefits for one's spiritual,

Mental and emotional well-being.

Reciting or meditating on Psalm 23 can help alleviate stress and anxiety.

Its calming imagery of green pastures and still waters can induce a sense of tranquility,

Promoting relaxation and a peaceful state of mind.

This psalm invites a transformative shift from fear to faith and scarcity to abundance.

It reassures you that hope and support are ever-present,

Even in the darkest valleys,

Symbolizing life's most challenging situations.

Ultimately,

It promises an overflowing cup of prosperity as divine providence enters your life.

We will say now this prayer three times and I encourage you to join me,

Whether aloud or in silence,

Whichever resonates best with you.

And if you don't know the words,

You can just listen or pause as you write them down.

And with practice,

You will find you know them by heart,

Just like I did.

Now,

Close your eyes and open your heart to the transformation this sacred song brings by inviting God's profound presence and protective embrace into your life.

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me along the right paths for His namesake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

They comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

Surely,

Goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me along the right paths for His namesake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

They comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

Surely,

Goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside quiet waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me along the right paths for His namesake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

They comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

Surely,

Goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

You may return to this prayer anytime you need,

And I encourage you to share this beautiful psalm with a loved one who is going through a hard time and to whom you wish to send a blessing of peace,

Comfort,

And encouragement.

Thank you for praying together with me.

May God's peace be with you today and always.

I didnโ€™t even pick this one - it just opened but is in perfect alignment as I recently committed to starting my day with Psalm 23. It is well done. I enjoyed the repetition of the prayer with the gentle water and music that accompanied it. The instructorโ€™s voice is calm and reverent without an abundance of theatrical intensity. Thank you for bringing the spirit of the Lord to this meditation and sharing it in this way.
