When fear comes to rob you of peace, meditate and think about Yahweh, our wonderful Shepherd, who provides, sustains and protects us. We enjoy abundance of love, joy, provision, refreshment and restoration, in his presence.
Yahweh, the God of my present, I AM WHO I AM, is my Shepherd (protector, provider, leader), my Friend, who takes care of me. I will not lack anything and I will succeed. He causes me to rest and relax, with no fear of predators or starvation. My home is fresh green pastures, where I eat my fill, in safety.
Yahweh, gently and carefully leads me, he sustains me and protects me, so I can settle down and rest without fear. He provides abundantly for me, with water, food, shelter, and all I need because he is my Shepherd and Friend. He protects me from all my enemies.
When I am out of breath, Yahweh restores me and leads me in the correct direction, due to his excellent character and reputation. He leads me to a beautiful place, of restoration.
In addition to this, when I travel through a deep dark narrow gorge, covered in the shadow of the dead, I will not be afraid of bad things, because Yahweh is right besides me, with his staff of correction and his walking stick for support. They give me a sigh of relief and my soul is consoled.
Yahweh will put in order and arrange a meal, spread out on a table, in front of my face. Boldly, he shows this in front of my enemy, who presses in on me and is jealous of me. He will anoint my head with perfumed olive oil. My holdings and possessions will abundantly overflow, to fill all my needs. The enemy will realize he cannot conquer me because Yahweh, my Shepherd, is with me.
Yahweh will never let me down because I follow him. The Shepherd, always provides and cares for me. Bountiful, beautiful things and kindness chases after every follower, all the days of of our lives. I remain living in the palace of Yahweh. (Psalm 23 Translation from Ancient Hebrew)
