O the beautiful, beautiful garden of prayer
O the beautiful garden of prayer
There my Savior awaits
And He opens the gates
To the beautiful garden of prayer.
O the beautiful garden of prayer
There my Savior awaits
And He opens the gates
To the beautiful garden of prayer.
PSALM 23 Meditation ©2013
The Lord Is
He is the The Lord
All powerful, Ever present, All knowing
My Shepherd;
He takes care of me; He provides for me; He watches over me
I shall not want.
I may not have all I want, but He makes sure I have all I need
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me to abundance in barren times
He leads me beside the still waters.
He leads me to a quiet place
where my thirst for His righteousness is satisfied
He restores my soul;
When chaos and confusion would overtake me,
He keeps me in perfect peace
He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
He teaches me How to follow Him daily for His glory
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
There will be times when trouble will cause me to tremble
I will fear no evil;
God is my protection
For You are with me;
God is my constant companion
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
He will protect me when I am threatened
He will correct me when I am wrong
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
What God has for me is absolute
Even when my enemies would steal from me and try to destroy me
You anoint my head with oil;
He has chosen me to be His child, empowers me to stand
My cup runs over
My life overflows with His grace
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
My life will speak of His lovingkindness and tender mercies!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
My Hope in Him is eternal
Forever.
From everlasting to everlasting, He is God.

A PROMISE
I found this in my memories; this one is for me and for you.
Do not look forward in fear
to the changes in life; rather, look to them
with full hope that as they arise,
God, whose very own you are,
will lead you safely through all things;
and when you cannot stand it,
God will carry you in His arms.
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;
the same understanding Father
who cares for you today
will take care of you then and every day.
He will either shield you from suffering
or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace, and put aside
all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
~Amen., • ST. FRANCIS DE SALES (1567-1622)
