God is with you, and I need to tell you something really loud and clear right now that the Lord is your shepherd. We're gonna go into Psalm 23, verse 1. This psalm is such a powerful psalm, it is sought across the world through YouTube, through Spotify, through all the major uh podcasting platforms. It is the go-to psalm. If you are in trouble, these psalms of David, the prayer of David, Psalm 23, I guarantee you, if you use this psalm, if you speak this psalm, six verses, you will find critical and powerful changes in your life. Come on, without further ado, Rev, let's get straight in. We're in Psalm 23, verse 1, and this is what the word says The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Father, I thank you that you are our shepherd and we lack nothing. Lord, I thank you that the power of God is in our lives. And right now, Lord, as the psalmist writes, you are our shepherd. Lord, this is the prayer of David, the prayer of trust, guidance,
hope. So, dear God, I pray right now as we get around the word of God. We need peace in our lives. We need guidance, but the Lord is my shepherd. Lord, I thank you that you keep, dear God, everything away from us. Lord, you you guide us in life. You are our shepherd. Father, you are protecting us, you are leading us to new pastures. Lord, we thank you that you are our rock, our redeemer. Lord, we lack nothing in our lives. And right now we pray for the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, I thank you, Lord, that the listeners, the brothers and the sisters of myself, we're not churchgoers. We're born-again spirit-filled believers. We believe in the word of God. And Father, we thank you for Psalm 23, verse 1. Father, we thank you that this scripture is powerful. Lord, that this is a prayer of trust. This is a prayer of hope. And as we get into the Psalms of David, Father, we believe in miracles. We believe that through the power of the Word of God, Lord, we believe that this psalm is touching our heart right now. We believe that this psalm was on David's heart. We believe that this is a global prayer movement coming together as we pray together, we stand together. Lord, we thank you that this prayer, Psalm 23, verse 1, is our everyday prayer. Lord, we thank you that the Lord is our shepherd. We lack nothing. And there is power in the greatest name in heaven and earth. And right now, Lord, we ask you, Lord, that the fire of God, the presence of God will be with the listeners wherever they are across the world, that they will feel the love, the glory, the power of the God that we serve,
Spirit of the living God. We pray today that we will capture the heartbeat of God, that we will hear the whisper of God, that we will feel your presence in our lives, that we will experience the word of God. Father, we don't want church. We don't want religion. We don't want all the Rasmataz that's in the celebrity church. Father, we're not interested in social media, we're not worried about what the world is doing. Lord, we want to walk with Jesus. We want to walk with a good shepherd. You are our shepherd, and we come to you right now, Lord, and we declare right now, as David said, the Lord is my shepherd. Lord, I lack nothing. We lack nothing. Lord, we have everything that we require right now. Lord, we thank you that you are not a distant God. You are a close God. We thank you, Lord, that the skin that we walk in, Father, you're in that skin. Lord, you created everything about us that we carry, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and we pray for guidance today through this devotional time. Lord, we lock ourselves into the scripture. We lock ourselves into the heart of God. And we thank you for Psalm 23, verse 1. Lord, this daily trust, this daily prayer is that we trust in our God. We trust in our King. And right now, the Lord is our shepherd. And the prayer of David, Lord, we cry this out today. And wherever we are, we believe in miracles. We believe in the power. We believe in God's guidance. We believe that the God is guiding us right now. That God's provision and comfort is over our lives. Lord, as we record this live here in London, England, through Psalm 23, we believe that my life, Lord, the studio team, their life is being changed. The listeners' lives are being changed. We believe, Lord, that the power of Psalm 23, verse 1, Lord, we believe now that the Lord is our shepherd and we lack nothing. Lord, we lack nothing. Lord, Father, we thank you that we are not relying on the political agenda. We are not relying on the governments of the
world. We are not relying on the church. We're not relying on pastors. We're not relying on the mechanisms of this life. Lord, we believe in the word of God. And Father, we thank you that that word is leading us. Father, thank you that God is our leader, that God is our shepherd. We thank you for Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. And Lord, we pray for strength today through Psalm 23. We pray that our faith, our personal faith, will rise through this scripture. So Lord, we take hold of this today and we declare this word across our lives. And Father, we thank you. We declare it right now, a life application that the Lord is our shepherd. Lord, I trust you in your guidance. You provide for us, you protect us in the name of Jesus. So Lord, we bring the listeners across the world before you. And Father, we pray that they will feel the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. And Lord, as they make, as we make, as all of us make the Lord our shepherd, Father, I pray that you will take us deeper into a walk with you, a deeper and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. But Lord, we declare today that Jesus Christ is Lord. We declare that the Lord is our shepherd and we lack nothing, and we trust you, Father. So Lord, I pray for the listeners that they will feel the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. As we've prayed together, as we stood together, as we walked together wherever they are across the world, Lord, let them hear. Let us hear the shepherd's voice. Lord, let us hear the voice of God. Let us hear the heartbeat of heaven, Spirit of the Living God, carry those that are tired, protect those that are weary.
Come on, God, Lord, release your word over our lives today because your name is great. You are worthy of all praise. The Spirit of the Living God is over your life wherever you are. Jesus Christ is with you. Never give up and never give in until tomorrow.
