Psalm 23 King James Version (KJV)
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Now and again I come across holy / religious prayers that presumptuously, brazenly I proceed to interpret the meaning to my understanding and some prayers just say it all along with quotes, koan's and so forth, so here goes;
1) In quiet meditation when my breath almost stops I feel at one with the All and All and I feel I do not want anything more I am whole and complete.
2) When I am distraught I am reminded to meditate and surrender and the peace of still waters seem to trickle and then flow into my consciousness.
3) I feel recharged and ready to face life again.
4) In the world today there are so many dangers and sometimes I am blessed with grace and synchronicity's and 'co incidences that I feel somewhat protected'.
5) Although my finances are limited I have enough for daily living
and a few treats now and again. When the wonderful gifts of joy and love touch my heart and the food is on my table and the drinks slake my thirst, I feel I have supped with the divine and have been anointed by grace.
6) As long as I remember to let go of my anxiety and fear and surrender to the quiet ease of a peaceful at rest mind and say 'I of myself am nothing it is God the Divine who does the Works'
'Consider the lilies and the flowers of the field they toil not neither do they spin'
'The Kingdom of Heaven is within, seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be added unto you'
All this is to dwell in the house, the quiet place of the Most High and dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Amen
