#christian #prayer August 31 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1 Tavern Talk: David was a king, but he never got over being a shepherd boy. And when he wrote this psalm, he wasn’t bragging about being royal. He was boasting that the LORD was his Shepherd. This is not a vague sentiment. It’s a declaration of dependence. The sheep does not guide. The sheep does not fight wolves. The sheep trusts the voice of its shepherd. When I wrote hymns like A Mighty Fortress, I wanted believers to know they had a Shepherd-King who stands guard. Who feeds. Who leads. Who lays down His life. I shall not want. That’s not because I have everything I desire, but because I have the One who knows what I need. When fear rises and the world grows dark, remember who holds the rod and the staff. It is Christ. He goes before you. He stands behind you. He walks beside you. You shall not want—not because you’re strong, but because your Shepherd never sleeps. Luther’s Toast: Der Herr ist mein Hirte, mir wird nichts mangeln! — The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want! Cheers! Prayer: Lord Jesus, Shepherd of my soul, lead me today. Let me fear no evil, want no other, and rest in Your care alone. Amen. — From Luther Calling — Get 365 devotions in the voice of Luther 👉emersonbookcompany.com

For me it’s that things break — sometimes all at once. God is faithful though. I ask that He will give me the strength to stay the course and NOT do things that don’t work anymore.
