The Shepherd Who Protects

"The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide, and to shield me], I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1, AMP).

Friend, have you ever felt vulnerable, like the world was closing in around you? I’ve been there—when fear and doubt seemed to surround me on all sides. But in those moments, I realized that the Lord, my Shepherd, doesn’t just provide and guide; He also protects.

God’s Protection isn’t always about keeping us from difficulty. Sometimes, it’s about giving us the strength to face the challenges head-on. I’ve experienced His Protection in ways I couldn’t explain—peace in the midst of chaos, or courage when I felt afraid. Often I struggle with fear of uncertainty but then I focus on God and it gives me assurance that I am His sheep and He is my Shepherd. He will always protect me.

Friend, think about a time when you felt vulnerable or afraid. How did God protect you during that time? Reflect on how He continues to shield you from harm, even in the most difficult moments.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being my Protector. I trust that You are watching over me, and keeping me safe in every circumstance. Help me to feel Your Protection and to rest in Your Care. Amen.
