Beloved, I am the Good Shepherd, and I am enough. Be satisfied with me. Let not your soul wander and search for lesser things. My presence is better and plentiful.

My burden is easy and my yoke is light. I will lead you to green pastures, plentiful with food, nourishment, and comfort for your soul.

Only give your soul to me. Lay your striving down beside the peace of still waters. I will restore your soul. I alone can do that, love to do that.

Rest in me and presence.

You will walk through the shadow and valleys of death, but beloved, fear not. I have not left you. I am with you, protecting and sustaining you in your moment of need.

Beloved, my staff and rod are a comfort to you.

Beloved, I have prepared a place for you at my table, a feast prepared. Your enemies will not, cannot take that away. You will dwell in my house forever. Your cup is overflowing. Stay for, I will guide you, protect you, restore you, sustain you, and welcome you to my house forever.

Amen.
