Lord, I need You

a friend just reminded me that all the frustration i am feeling might be a spiritual attack, especially at such a crucial time when i am deciding whether or not to go full-time. i really need to pray for God's protection and guidance...

was comforted by the words of psalms 23 from my new Bible that i bought today (for use in IBS)it really really expresses how i feel and has comforted me so greatly this evening.

(The Message Version)

GOD, my shepherd!

I don't need a thing.

You have bedded me down in lush meadows,

you find me quiet pools to drink from.

True to your word,

you let me catch my breath

and send me in the right direction.


Even when the way goes throu Death Valley,

I'm not afraid

when you walk at my side.

Your trusty shepherd's crook

makes me feel secure


You serve me a six-course dinner

right in front of my enemies.

You revive my drooping head;

my cup brims with blessing.


Your beauty and love chase after me

every day of my life.

I'm back home in the house of GOD

for the rest of my life.

Your Word is so precious, like sweet balm to the soul Lord. Thank You for restoring to me the joy of the Lord and help me to cling onto You in the days, weeks, months ahead.
