Focus Scripture –
Psalm 23
God is my shepherd, I
shall not want;
God makes me lie down in
green pastures,
and leads me beside still waters;
God restores my soul.
God leads me in paths of
righteousness
for God’s name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I 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
mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of God
forever.
