In the depths of my closet I found an old prayer journal from the first year I was a Christian. At that time all scripture was new to me. This was my meditation on Psalm 23:
Jesus loves me
He takes care of all my needs
All I need do is ask Jesus to take care of it for me
and wait patiently with expectation
through whatever the circumstances may be
he fulfills my need
Yes, glory to Jesus
I need no more seek to fulfill my own desires
Jesus leads me to them
and presents them to me
Jesus loves me so much
- and he is God -
that he is willing and able to take care of me
even if I should fall
Jesus certainly is love and mercy
