He does not abandon you—He goes before you.

Lord,

I am weary.

I am tired of the dry places,

The barren seasons,

The empty striving.

Bring me to green pasture.

Lead me to the place of rest.

Lead me to the place of nourishment.

Lead me to the place of peace.

Lead me to the place of Your presence.

Let me lie down in Your care.

Let me drink from Your still waters.

Let me rest in Your love.

Let me be restored by Your Spirit.

I trust You, Shepherd.

I follow You, Shepherd.

I rest in You, Shepherd.

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” (Psalm 23:2-3)
