A Blessing for Rest

May you want for nothing,

And may all your pastures be green,

Because the Lord isn’t just a Good Shepherd—

He’s your shepherd.

He’s watching.

He’s guarding.

He’s leading.

He’s rescuing.

He’s providing.

He’s nourishing.

He’s nurturing.

There are many imposter shepherds—

Shamers, thieves, deceivers, hucksters,

Who want to take, not give.

But they aren’t for you—

You already have a shepherd,

The true shepherd,

The Lord.

You can lie down

(Put your whole weight)

In His grace.

Bless you, little lamb.

The Lord is your shepherd.
