Hey, this is Tricia from the Southside Life Station.
Today I'd like to share a little verse that really speaks to me.
It's from Psalms, Psalms 23.
I know with answering phone calls throughout the day,
I've had quite a few people say that they've recently lost somebody in their life, a loved one,
and I just, I really felt led to read this scripture verse
and give a little encouraging word to go with it,
because I too have recently lost somebody,
and I just, it really speaks to me, and I wanted to share it with you guys.
So, I'm reading Psalms 23.
The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows.
He leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength, he guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
So, this verse to me is just, it really speaks to me saying that I'm not alone.
Walking through this dark valley, you're not alone.
God is always there, close beside you.
Don't be afraid.
He's there to protect you, He's there to comfort you.
So, when you are feeling down about it, just talk to Him, but have a blessed day.
