Praying Through: Psalm 23:1a The Lord Is My Shepherd

The Psalm

Psalm 23:1a (CSB) The LORD is my shepherd

The Prayer

You are my Good Shepherd. You fled the ninety-nine

• in order to come rescue me,
• when I could not possibly rescue myself. You saved me
• from certain damnation,
• you’ve rescued me from the slaughter. You’ve taken all of my sin,
• and you let the wrath of Father
• fall upon your heart You bled out for me,
• so that I might live forever. Lord, keep me in your care,
• I pray that you keep good shepherds
• to care and feed me.
• none that will run away
• at the first sight of danger
• none that will be swayed
• to and fro by every wind of doctrine
• but stay the course because
• you are their strength and resolve. I praise your holy name ever.
