Ps. 23: 4
Yea [even though],
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [any place, period, or situation that is filled with fear, gloom, and is threatening enough to where I think I’m not going to survive]
I will fear or dread no evil,
[why?] for You are with me;
Your rod [to protect]
and Your staff [to guide],
they comfort [reassure] me. [I will survive this!]

Pray the Word:
Lord, we are not content living in the lowlands of life because we continually desire to move onto higher ground. The problem is not that You won’t take us to higher ground [those mountain top experiences], but we often disagree with the route You take us. But every shepherd knows the best route to the top is through the valley because that’s where the river runs through and the ground is the most fertile to produce – it’s where the tall corn grows! I trust You to protect, guide and comfort me as I walk through [successfully reach the end of] my valley on my way to the mountain top.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
