The Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always. He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again, steering me off worn, hard paths to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name. Even in the unending shadows of death’s darkness, I am not overcome by fear. Because You are with me in those dark moments, near with Your protection and guidance, I am comforted. You spread out a table before me, provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies; You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil, filling my cup again and again with Your grace. Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me where I go, always, everywhere. I will always be with the Eternal, in Your house forever.

Just as dried, cracked clay is given new life when water rejuvenates it, so beloved, are you fundamentally transformed by My healing flow. So receive. You don’t have to earn it, or convince Me of your worth, for it is yours. Simply rest in My presence and receive.

Resist the darkness, and the fruit of the enemy’s influence. My perfect love casts out all fear, so refuse to embrace it. Resist the urge to indulge in worry, and instead trust that I AM leading you.
Yield to My soothing touch. And let My rod and My staff bring direction and comfort. I AM with you always, and My counsel is trustworthy for I AM righteousness and I AM truth. Trust in Me.

Release the burden of looking out for your own interests, and simply yield to Me. If I appear to withhold, it’s never because I’m angry or punishing you. I act in your best interest. Work with Me instead of struggling against My lead when you don’t understand. You understanding is not necessary, but you yielding is. So rest in Me, beloved, and let Me truly be your God.
