Midday Prayer on Psalm 23:1

Dear Lord, you are our Shepherd—our guide, our protector, and the one who provides all we need. In uncertainty, you lead us. In weakness, you sustain us. We confess how easily we wander, searching for satisfaction in places that cannot fill us. Yet you never leave us. Remind us each day that in you, we truly lack nothing. Let your voice be the one we follow, your presence our comfort, and your care our strength. Shepherd our hearts and lead us beside still waters. Wherever you guide, help us trust that we are safe, known, and deeply loved. In your hands, we find peace, purpose, and provision. Amen.
