When I was a little girl, I used to walk with my mom through the garden to pick strawberries. As we walked, she would quietly recite a beautiful poem—Psalm 23.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want…”

Even at that young age, I could picture soft green meadows, still waters, and the peaceful voice of someone who would always guide and protect me. My mom’s voice made the words feel safe and comforting, like God was walking right beside us.

Psalm 23 paints a picture of what it means to trust God completely. Just like a good shepherd cares for their sheep, God makes sure we have what we need. When life feels scary—like walking through dark valleys—He stays close and helps us find our way. And when we’re tired or afraid, He gives us a place to rest.

It’s more than just poetry—it’s a promise. God is always with us, leading us to peace, protecting us when we’re afraid, and surrounding us with love.

What We Learned:

• God cares for us like a shepherd cares for sheep.
• Even in dark or scary times, we are never alone.
• Psalm 23 reminds us of God’s peace, love, and protection.

We hope you’ll come to church this Sunday and learn more about this beautiful psalm. Maybe you’ll even share it with someone you love, just like my mom shared it with me.

See you in church!
Blessings!
