The Psalm
Psalm 23:1b (CSB) I have what I need.
The Prayer
My Lord Above,
I thank you for your perfect provision.
You are my Good Father in heaven
and because I am your child,
you have always provided for me.
When I was younger, I wanted many things
but you did not provide them.
But looking back,
those things I wanted
would have harmed me
or cause me to turn away from you.
But what you have always done
is gave something even better,
which turned out to be actually good.
It is by your hand alone
that I have shelter over my head,
food in my stomach,
water upon my dried tongue.
It is by your strength
I am able to stand
work
seek out accomplishments
which is the work you have provided
for me to do for your glory.
But more than that,
you are my All-in-all
because you gave me everything
when you gave me yourself
in Christ Jesus my Lord.
Since I have your love,
your Son,
your Spirit,
you have given me so much
that heaven and earth
can give me no more.
I will praise you
with every single breath you give me.
And I will love you
with all the love you have given me.
