The 23rd Psalm was written by King David and is so comforting.

At some point in our lives we will face our own death, the death of a loved one, illness or some other difficult time.

Are you someone struggling right now with worry or grief?

Remember this Psalm. Read the Psalm out loud and claim these words for yourself and the situation you might find yourself facing.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need.

He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.

He gives me new strength.

He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised.

Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord,

for you are with me.

Your shepherd’s rod will protect me.

You prepare a banquet for me,

where all my enemies can see me;

You welcome me as an honoured guest and fill my cup to the brim.

I know that your goodness and love will be with me all the days of my life;

and your house will be my home as long as Iive.
