Hey, this is Tricia from the Southside Life Station.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Today I'd like to share a little verse that really speaks to me.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
It's from Psalms, Psalms 23.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I know with answering phone calls throughout the day,

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
I've had quite a few people say that they've recently lost somebody in their life, a loved one,

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
and I just, I really felt led to read this scripture verse

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
and give a little encouraging word to go with it,

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
because I too have recently lost somebody,

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
and I just, it really speaks to me, and I wanted to share it with you guys.

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
So, I'm reading Psalms 23.

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
He lets me rest in green meadows.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
He leads me beside peaceful streams.

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
He renews my strength, he guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil.

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
My cup overflows with blessings.

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,000
So, this verse to me is just, it really speaks to me saying that I'm not alone.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Walking through this dark valley, you're not alone.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
God is always there, close beside you.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Don't be afraid.

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
He's there to protect you, He's there to comfort you.

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So, when you are feeling down about it, just talk to Him, but have a blessed day.

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
