I love this prayer..

I like to say this prayer this way...

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd

The Lord is my guide and compass

I SHALL NOT WANT

I shall never be in need

Before every need arises, His supply is already available

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE IN GREEN PASTURE

He gives me the most comfortable shelter

He causes me to lie in the midst of plenty

HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS

In the quiet, He speaks to me as He gives me clarity of vision and direction

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL

My soul is at rest

My soul rejoices in Him

EVEN THOUGH I WALK IN THE VALLEY OF DEATH

Even though I drive through dangerous streets

Even though I stroll through war zones

Even though I bounce past the territories of the enemy

I FEAR NO EVIL

I fear no witches, demon, or forces

I fear no fiery darts of the enemy

FOR THOU ART WITH ME

For I am in the King's entourage

For the host of angels are as a shield about me

THY ROD AND THY STAFF THEY COMFORT ME

The abundance of His supplies put me at rest

For in His presence are pleasures forevermore

THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME

Thou has chosen to pamper me

IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMY

In the presence of my mockers and haters

THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL

Thou has poured thine Spirit upon me

Oh the oil of gladness

Thy anointing that breaks the yoke

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER

And just when I'm thinking I've seen it all, you show up again and do even more

You embarrass me with favours all life long

SURELY, GOD's GOODNESS & MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME

The goodies are at my command

As I'm calling them forth, they respond in my favour

And it will be favour unlimited because of His mercy that clefts for me

His mercy that pleads my case even when I'm unclean

AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD FOREVER

AMEN
