Scripture: “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” Psalm 23:1 (NLT).

Prayer: Lord, thank You for being my Shepherd who provides, protects, and guides me. Keep me from wandering into places that lead to harm. Help me to trust that in Your care, I lack nothing. May my heart rest in the assurance that You lead me to green pastures and still waters. In Jesus’ name, Amen and thank God.

Reflection (Pastoral): What does it look like for me to live with contentment, believing I truly have all I need in Christ?

Application / Coping Skill: Each time a desire arises today, pause and say, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all that I need.”

Closing: The Lord is my Shepherd—I am cared for and complete in Him.
