Psalm 23 is not just a comforting
scripture. It is a declaration of
identity. It tells you who God is to
you. When David said, "The Lord is my
shepherd. I shall not want." He was not
speaking as someone who had everything.
He was speaking as someone who knew who
his provider was. The strength of Psalm
23 is not in the words alone, but in the
relationship it reflects. When God is
your shepherd, lack cannot [music]
destroy you. When God is your shepherd,
fear cannot hold you. When God is your
shepherd, the valley cannot swallow you.
When God is your shepherd, your enemies
cannot defeat you. When God is your
shepherd, your cup must overflow. And
when God is your shepherd, goodness and
mercy must follow you. So walk into
today with confidence. God is not only
with you, he is guiding you. protecting
you, providing for you, and leading you
straight into healing, provision, and
breakthrough. Family, hear me this
morning. When God is your shepherd, lack
loses its power. Psalm 23 is not just
poetry. It is a divine legal decree over
your life. The Lord is my shepherd. I
shall not want. That means where you
have needs, God supplies. Where you feel
lost, God leads. Where you are hurting,
God heals. Where you are attacked, God
shields. The shepherd does not abandon
his sheep. Some of you have been walking
through a valley, financial [music]
valley, emotional valley, health valley,
spiritual valley. But remember, the
valley is not your home. The valley is a
passage, not a destination. And the
shepherd walks with you, not behind you,
not ahead of you, with you. Your
breakthrough is not far. Your healing is
not far. Your restoration is not far.
The God who guides you is also the God
who protects you. And the God who
protects you is also the God who
provides for you. He prepares a table
before you in the presence of your
enemies. Not after they disappear, not
after the storm ends, but right in the
middle of it. So today, as you pray,
expect healing, [music] expect
breakthrough, expect financial lifting,
expect God to open doors that no man can
shut because the shepherd never leads
you into a place where his goodness
[music] and mercy cannot follow you.
Please pray along with me. Lord, this
morning I come before you like a child
who is tired of carrying everything
alone. I come because I need healing. I
come because I need provision. I come
because I need breakthrough and I come
because Psalm 23 reminds me that you are
my shepherd and because of that I will
not lack. Father, walk with me in this
prayer. Heal me, restore me, lift me and
let breakthrough follow me today.
Heavenly Father, as the morning light
rises, I rise with my heart open before
you. I rise with a longing in my spirit
to be closer to you. I rise with a
tiredness from life's battles, but also
with a quiet confidence that you are
still my shepherd, my healer, my
provider, and my deliverer. Lord, I come
into your presence today, not because I
deserve anything, not because I am
perfect, not because I am strong, but
because you are merciful, loving,
forgiving, gentle, and full of
compassion. This morning, I need you
more than ever. I need your healing. I
[music] need your restoration. I need
your strength. I need your blessing. I
need you to breathe on every silent part
of my life that is crying for [music]
help. Father, you said in Psalm 23 that
you are my shepherd. And because you are
my shepherd, I shall not want. So this
morning, I let go of every fear of lack,
every anxiety about money, every hidden
concern about bills, debts, and responsibilities.
responsibilities.
Lord, you know what I carry. You know
what I need. You know the things
pressing on my shoulders. You know the
quiet battles I walk through daily. You
know the burdens I do not talk about.
You know the needs that wake me up at
night. But today I remind my soul. I
shall not want because the Lord is my
shepherd. So Father lead me, [music]
guide me. Take me by the hand and walk
me into the provision you already
prepared for me. Walk me into new
opportunities. Walk me into open doors.
Walk me into financial increase. Walk me
into divine alignment with your plan for
my prosperity. Lord, I ask that you open
a new season for me. One where I am not
struggling from situation to situation.
One where I am not barely surviving. One
where I am not worrying about how to
make it through the next step. Lord,
shift me into a season where I walk in
supernatural provision. You make me lie
down in green pastures. God, let this
day be a green pasture kind of day. Let
my life enter green pastures. Let my
household enter green pastures. Let my
finances enter green pastures. Let my
mind rest in green pastures. Let my
heart find stillness in your presence.
Father, give me rest from the things
that have been stressing me. Give me
rest from the people who drain me. Give
me rest from the challenges that try to
break me. [music] Give me rest from the
thoughts that torment me. [snorts] And
Father, you said you lead me beside
still waters. God, my soul has not felt
still lately. My mind has been racing.
My emotions have been overwhelmed. My
spirit has been tired. But this morning,
Lord, lead me beside your still waters.
Calm every storm inside me. Speak peace
over every noise around me. Quiet every
fear. Silence every confusion. Break the
weight off my chest. and breathe life
into me again. Restore my soul, Lord.
Restore my joy. Restore my strength.
Restore my hope. Restore my belief that
good things [music] can still happen for
me. Restore the broken parts of me that
I don't talk about. Restore the dreams I
stopped believing in. Restore my faith
in myself. Restore my faith in the
future. Restore my faith in your timing.
Lord, restore my soul so deeply that I
walk through this day with renewed
strength and quiet confidence that the
God who restored me will never abandon
me. Father, you said you guide me along
paths of righteousness for your name's
sake. So Lord, guide me today. Guide my
decisions. Guide my actions. Guide my
words. Guide my steps. Guide my
thoughts. Guide the paths I choose.
Guide the doors I walk through. Guide my
relationships. guide the opportunities I
pursue. Let me not walk into danger. Let
me not step into rooms you didn't design
for me. Let me not settle for anything
that is beneath your will for my life.
Order my steps today in a way that
brings glory to you. And Lord, though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil because you
are with me. Father, you know the
valleys I've been walking through.
valleys of uncertainty, valleys of
sickness, valleys of financial hardship,
valleys of emotional exhaustion, valleys
of fear, valleys of disappointment,
valleys of spiritual dryness, valleys
where I felt alone, valleys where I felt
forgotten, valleys where I questioned
myself. But this morning, I declare that
I will fear no evil. You are with me.
You have never left me. You have never
abandoned me. Even when I didn't feel
you, you were there. Even when I didn't
see you, you were carrying me. Even when
I didn't hear you, you were speaking
quietly into my spirit. Even when I
thought I was alone, you were holding me
up. Lord, thank you for being with me in
every valley. And thank you that this
valley is not my final destination. You
are bringing me out. Your rod and your
staff, they comfort me. So Lord, comfort
me today. Comfort me in the areas where
I am hurting. Comfort me in the places
where I feel broken. Comfort me in the
moments where I feel lost. Comfort me as
I wait on the answers I prayed for.
Comfort me in the areas of my life that
feel uncertain. Wrap me in your presence
and let me feel your nearness.
Father, I ask that you prepare a table
before me in the presence of my enemies.
Lord, there are people who don't want to
see me rise. There are situations
working against me. There are invisible
battles happening in the spirit. But
this morning, I declare that none of
these things will stop the table you are
preparing. Bless me in places where they
thought I would fail. [music]
Lift me in places where they expected me
to fall. Promote me in moments where
they counted me out. Father, let your
blessings be so undeniable that even my
enemies acknowledge that it was you who
favored me. You anoint my head with oil.
Lord, I need fresh oil today. The oil of
healing, the oil of breakthrough, the
oil of financial increase, the oil of
deliverance, the oil of peace, the oil
of wisdom, the oil of clarity, the oil
of strength, the oil of restoration.
Pour new oil on my life, Lord. Let today
carry the fragrance of your presence.
And God, let my cup run over. Let
blessings overflow. Let doors open
unexpectedly. Let favor follow me
everywhere. Let opportunities locate me.
Let my finances increase. Let my health
improve. Let my strength rise. Let my
mind stabilize. Let my emotions heal.
Let everything connected to me overflow
with your fullness. Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life. Lord, let goodness follow me
today. Let goodness follow my family.
Let goodness follow my finances. Let
goodness follow my career. Let goodness
follow my spiritual life and let mercy
cover everything I cannot fix myself.
Walk with me, Lord. Stay with me. Remain
with me. Never leave me nor forsake me.
Father, this morning I ask for healing.
Healing in my body, healing in my mind,
healing in my emotions, healing in my
family, healing in my finances, healing
in every broken part of my life. Heal me
from wounds I don't talk about. Heal me
from stress that has been eating away at
my peace. Heal me from fear that has
been draining my courage. Heal me from
disappointment that has been suffocating
my joy. Heal me from the pressure I've
been pretending I am okay with. Heal me
from every weight I've been carrying
silently. Lord, I ask for healing in my
finances. Heal every area of struggle.
Heal every area of lack. Heal every area
of limitation. Break the hand of
scarcity. Break the spirit of poverty.
Break the cycles of financial dryness.
Father, open new streams of income. Open
divine connections. Open opportunities
tailored for me. Open doors that no man
can shut. Lord, cause increase to enter
my life. Let abundance replace
insufficiency. Let provision replace
fear. Let breakthrough replace stumbling
blocks. Lord, I ask for breakthrough.
Real breakthrough. deep breakthrough,
undeniable breakthrough.
Not the kind that comes and goes, but
the kind that transforms everything. The
kind that sets a new pattern, the kind
that shifts my entire season, the kind
that opens a new chapter, breakthrough
in my health, breakthrough in my
finances, breakthrough in my home,
breakthrough in my mind, breakthrough in
my spirit, breakthrough in my work,
breakthrough in my future. Father, let
this be the morning where heaven moves
on my behalf. And Lord, as I pray, I
also declare your word into my life. I
declare that healing is my portion. I
declare that breakthrough is my portion.
I declare that financial increase is my
portion. I declare that restoration is
my portion. I declare that divine help
is my portion. I declare that
supernatural provision is my portion. I
declare that peace is my portion. I
declare that open doors are my portion.
I declare that protection is my portion.
I declare that favor is my portion.
Lord, let this prayer move into the
deepest parts of my life. [music] Let it
touch the areas I cannot verbalize. Let
it fix the situations I cannot control.
Let it change the circumstances I cannot
shift on my own. Let heaven respond to
me today. Father, keep me surrounded by
your love. Keep me strengthened by your
presence. Keep me walking in your peace.
Keep me covered by your hand. Keep me
anchored in your word. Keep me focused
on your voice. Keep me expectant for
your miracles this morning. Lord, I
trust you. I trust your timing. I trust
your wisdom. I trust your power. I trust
your plan. I trust the way you are
moving even when I cannot see it yet.
Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for
healing me. Thank you for providing for
me. Thank you for restoring me. Thank
you for the breakthroughs you have
already released in the spirit. Father,
I thank you for this moment in your
presence. Thank you for the healing you
have begun in me. Thank you for the
breakthrough you have released. Thank
you [music] for the peace that now rests
on me. Thank you for the strength that
has entered my spirit. Thank you for the
provision that is already on its way.
Thank [music] you for the doors you have
opened. Thank you for the protection you
have placed around my life. Thank you
for being my shepherd, my healer, my
provider, my restorer, [music]
and my deliverer. Lord, as I step into
this day, go before me and make the
crooked places straight. Walk beside me
and keep me steady. Walk behind me and
protect me from harm. Surround my life
with your goodness and mercy. Father,
thank you for hearing me. Thank you for
loving me. Thank you for the victory
that is already mine. Heavenly Father,
as I come to the end of this morning
prayer, I pause to breathe in the peace
of your presence. I pause to acknowledge
that everything I need flows from you. I
pause to remember that you are my
shepherd, the one who restores my soul,
the one who leads me beside still
waters, the one who anoints my head with
oil and fills my cup until it overflows.
And Lord, right now I thank you for the
healing you have already begun in my
life. I may not see everything yet, but
I know you are working. [music] I know
you are touching every place that hurts.
I know you are healing the hidden
wounds, the emotional places, the
physical places, the spiritual places
that no one else understands.
Father, thank you for touching my
finances. Thank you for touching my
mind. Thank you for touching my home.
Thank you for touching every area where
I have waited for breakthrough. Thank
you for making a way where there was no
way. Thank you for supplying where I had
lack. Thank you for strengthening me
where I felt weak. Thank you for being
my shepherd, my leader, my guide, my
provider, my protector, and the keeper
of my soul. Lord, as I step into the
rest of this day, let goodness follow
me. Let mercy follow me. Let favor
follow me. Let opportunities follow me.
Let open doors follow me. Let healing
and peace follow me. Surround me with
your presence. Guide my thoughts. Order
my steps [music] and keep my spirit
anchored in you. I end this prayer with
gratitude, with expectation, and with
complete trust in your faithfulness. In
Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen. I just
want to take a moment to thank you for
all your incredible support. [music]
