May the LORD be your Shepherd Today and Everyday

1 The LORD is my shepherd;
         I shall not want.

Prayer:     May the LORD be your shepherd, today, everyday, every night and every moment of every day. The LORD is the great Pastor of the universe, our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. May He shepherd and pastor you in everyway. As sheep is preserved on a farm by the shepherd, may the LORD preserve you and your family, may you find safety in Him and may He watch over you all the days of your life. May you taste the goodness of the living God in all that you lay your hands to do.

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
       He leads me beside the still waters.

Prayer:     You may not have a lot, but if you have tasted God in all His goodness, you will know that He is good. I pray that you will find green pastures in the living God. He is the God of abundance, He will provide for you. The goodness of God is a green pasture. May you know and taste His goodness all the days of your life. This is where you will find rest for your soul.

3 He restores my soul;
         He leads me in the paths of righteousness
         For His name’s sake.

Prayer:     May you find peace and contentment in the restoration of your soul. If your soul is troubled, may the LORD restore your soul, may He restore your finances, may He restore your children, your marriage, your job and all that concerns you. May the stream which flows from the Fountain of Living waters restore your soul and may Jesus lead and guide you in the path of righteousness, that His Name may be glorified in you. When you walk in the path of righteousness, the LORD will comfort you and deliver you from every affliction. Put your trust in Him, the great Shepherd, hearken to His voice and He will lead you in the right path. He will restore and calm your soul.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
            I will fear no evil;
            For You are with me;
            Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Prayer:     Even when you are going through the most severe and terrible affliction, when you are going through the darkest hour, may the spirit of fear be bound from you and may you have enough strength to conquer your fears, for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love and of power and of a sound mind. I pray that your mind will be sound and whole. May you not be lost in the valley of affliction, may you get safe to the mountain on the other side, the mountain of victory and rejoicing. May the LORD rebuke all your enemies and guide and sustain you with His rod and His staff. Underneath you are His Everlasting arms, you are safe and secure in His arms. I pray that you will put your trust in the LORD and believe that your security and safety is in Him. Underneath you are His Everlasting arms. He loves you more than you can ever know.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
           You anoint my head with oil;
           My cup runs over.

Prayer:     May you feast on the Lord’s table. May the LORD provide for you super abundantly. All your enemies will see and be dismayed; their shame shall be multiplied in many ways. May God perform the miraculous in the presence of your enemies. May your cup of salvation be ever full to overflowing and may the anointing of the Holy Spirit overflow in your life and your cup run over in every direction.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
              All the days of my life;
              And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
              Forever.

Prayer:     May the goodness and mercy of the LORD follow you all the days of your life. May the LORD make every situation in your life pleasant and victorious. May all your sorrows turn into joy and may He turn your mourning into dancing again. May your joy be full to overflowing and may your victory be permanent in every aspect of your life. This is my prayer for you, your family and loved ones.

In order to enjoy all of the blessings of Psalm 23, I pray that you will submit your will to the LORD, all that you struggle with, all your pain and past memories, your childhood nightmares and everything that seems like a heavy weight upon your life. Cast your cares on Him, He cares for you.  He will lead and guide you. May all your hopes and desires be fulfilled in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen.  He who watches over you neither sleeps nor slumbers.  Underneath you are His Everlasting Arms.
