Prayer

Commit your fears, feelings, discomfort, excitement, and plans to the Lord through prayer.

Pray through Psalm 23 reflecting on the Lord’s care and provision:

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
    he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will 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 your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    Forever.

Psalm 23 New International Version

Now make this prayer your own:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you that you promise to provide all that I need and that you know what I actually need. 

Lord, I ask you meet me in the middle of my fears, hesitation, and doubt.

I give my fears to you. Help me not forget your promises and your faithfulness. Give me your confidence and boldness. 

Thank you that your faithfulness endures beyond what I can imagine. Thank you for your care for me and thank you than I am yours.

Amen
