Lord, You are my Shepherd.

 Amen. “Lord, You are my Shepherd” is the sweetest and most secure confession a soul can make. It is not just a title—it is a relationship. It means you are known, led, fed, protected, and loved by the One who laid down His life for you. It means you lack nothing, because He is enough.
