The Lord is My Shepherd

I am learning and submitting to what it means for the Lord to be my Shepherd. I guess that means he knows best, looks out for me, cares about my well being, protects me, knows me, is wise, and so much more. I want to know the Shepherd's voice!

Psalm 23 from the New Living Translation (my favorite translation right now)

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. 2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. 3 He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. 4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. 5 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. 6 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.
