Also Philippians 4:6
Do not be axious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving.....
I wrote it out and had it pasted all over my house! It was a great comfort to me. "

" I sometimes spend an hour meditating on this Psalm, seeing myself enjoying the green pastures and feeling the clear, calm, cool waters, etc...

Resadean, I have said this Psalm so many times for so many years, I have evolved my own version. See how it works for you:

Lord, you are my shepherd
There is nothing I shall want
I lay down in your rich green pastures
You lead me beside cool, clear, calm waters
You restore my soul

You lay out a banquet for me in the sight of all
You anoint my head with oil (wisdom, insight)
My cup overflows (with generosity)

Even when I walk through the valley of darkness/depression, I fear no evil for you are at my side
Your rod (chases away beasties that sneak up from behind) and your staff (that guides me) comfort me

Only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen
----- ---- ---- ---
Sometimes I include a loved one who I am especially concerned about, thus I pray, Lord you are OUR shepherd, There is nothing WE shall want, etc. "
