Daily Bread | The Lord Is My Shepherd


Bible Passage
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”
— Psalm 23:1–3 (ESV)

Opening Prayer
Lord, as I come before You today, I quiet my heart and surrender my thoughts to You. Speak to me through Your Word, guide me by Your Spirit, and remind me that You are always leading me. In the migthy name of Jesus, Amen.

Daily Reflection
Psalm 23 is a familiar passage, yet it carries a depth that continually speaks to my soul. When David declares that the Lord is his shepherd, he is expressing complete trust, dependence, and confidence in God’s care.

A shepherd does not abandon his sheep. He guides, protects, and provides—even when the path leads through unfamiliar terrain. This psalm reminds me that God is not distant or detached from my life. He is personally involved, intentionally leading me toward rest, restoration, and peace.

Even when my soul feels weary, God knows exactly where to lead me so that I may be restored.

Reality Application
In my daily life, I often rush, worry, and try to control outcomes. Yet this passage invites me to slow down and trust the Shepherd. When I allow God to lead, I find rest instead of anxiety and direction instead of confusion
.
Whether I am facing decisions, challenges, or uncertainty, I can rely on the Lord to guide me step by step.

A Word of Encouragement
If you feel lost, tired, or unsure today, remember this truth: the Lord is your Shepherd. You are not forgotten, overlooked, or abandoned. God knows where you are and where you need to go.

Daily Challenge
Today, I will consciously follow God’s leading by surrendering my plans and trusting His guidance, even when I cannot see the full path ahead.

Closing Prayer
Father God, thank You for being my Shepherd. Lead me, restore me, and help me trust You fully. I place my life in Your hands today and always. In Jesus’ name,In Jesus Name,  Amen.
