Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Psalm 23
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Psalm 23 is a powerful reminder that God is our provider. When we trust Him as our Shepherd, we lack nothing. Unlike the rich fool, who hoarded for himself, David knew that contentment and security come from God’s provision, not personal wealth.
Where in your life do you struggle to trust God's provision? Do you find yourself anxious about finances, the future, or having enough? Rest in the truth that God knows what you need and will always provide.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being my Shepherd. Help me trust in Your provision and rest in Your care, knowing You will meet my needs.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Write down five ways God has provided for you recently and thank Him for each one.
- Choose to trust Him in one area where you're struggling—commit it to prayer instead of worrying.
