My Psalm 23 Prayer

Alyssa in the MFC Christmas Program, 1996

Lord, I believe that you are my children's shepherd, and you will provide all that they need. Help them to find rest in your presence, lead them beside quiet waters, and restore their souls. Guide them along right paths that bring honor to your name. Even when they walk through the darkest valley, be with them so that they won’t be afraid. Lord, may your rod and your staff always protect and comfort them. Lord, you prepare a feast for my children, in the presence of their enemies. Honor them by anointing their heads with oil. Truly their cup overflows with your blessing. What joy to know that your goodness and unfailing love will pursue them both all the days of their lives, and they will live in your presence forever.
