Praying Through: Psalm 23:2b He Leads Me Beside Quiet Waters

The Psalm

Psalm 23:2b (CSB) he leads me beside quiet waters.

The Prayer

My Lord

You are the fountain of true life. I am dead without you.

It is not that
I can find this water on my own. For I am lost
and, my soul is dried-up and dead. I have no wisdom,
strength,
or spirit to find you.

But you, O Lord, rescued me.

You have brought me into your life

and in your life alone,
I am fully alive. My soul is no longer dried in sin
but restored,
covered,
and filled with your forever grace.

God, please keep me close

so that I stay refreshed
and satisfied in all of life.
