God Provides, Guides & Protects
Backgrounder on Psalms 19-24:
The Lord can be seen in many
different roles in these six psalms.
He is the Creator (P19), Helper
(P20), King (P21), Crucified One
(P22), Shepherd (P23) & Glorious
One (P24). For each role, there
is a corresponding responsibility
for the people who would follow
Him as their God, King & Shepherd.
Lord, U Provide, Guide & Protect:
The Lord is my shepherd, I Lack
Nothing & have everything I need.
He Leads me besides peaceful
streams. He Guides me along right
paths… Even when I walk thro the
darkest valley, I will not be afraid
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and staff Protect
and comfort me (Ps 23:1-4).
Lord, the Shepherd of my soul,
we praise You for your care.
You are not just my Creator and
my God. You are not just the King
and the Judge of the universe.
You are my Shepherd. I am blessed
for because of U, I Lack Nothing.
Keep me from complaining.
Keep me from fear and worry.
And let me rest in the promise
that as I go where you lead, you
will Provide all my needs. Amen.
Lord Shepherd, it is comforting
to know that I am not alone in
the journey of life. Thank you
that you are ever vigilant, Guiding,
watching over me. May I always
respond to your voice and stay
close to You. And I gladly Follow
You as you call my name. Amen.
Lord Shepherd, you faithfully
feed, guide and above all Protect
your flock with your life. You are
always close by and your rod
protects & comfort me. And You
are gentle & hold me in your arms.
When I am afraid or worried,
remind me that you desire to
“carry” me with all tenderness.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
