My personal 23rd. Psalm Prayer this Morning

You, Lord, are my Shepherd and my hope, I shall not want for anything.   You let me lie down in green pastures.  You  lead me beside still waters.  You give me hope and peace everyday. 

You restore my soul: you lead me in the paths of righteousness for your name's sake.

Even though I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death (in the future), I will not fear evil thoughts,  anxiety, sadness because you are always with me.

Your rod which helps me walk and your staff which helps me stay close, comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies who are not people but thoughts that creep into  my mind to scare me and make me doubt your constant care for me.

You anoint my head with healing oil (figuratively:) and my feet with coconut oil which my loving and faithful husband gives me foot massages to relax and stimulate because of  the neuropathy in my feet:).

Thank you Lord for your goodness and mercy all the days of my life.

Thank you Lord for the hope I have in You and your saving promises which are always following in my life.

Thank you for my husband, extended family, sister's family and extended family, my wonderful children and grandchildren.  Thank you Lord for my supportive prayer warriors in many friendships who love and support me.

I thank you for the gift of music you blessed me with and helped me to sing for you all these many years.

I pray that surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the rest of my life here on earth and on to eternity with You dwelling in your house forever.   Amen
