Daily Devotional: Rest in His Care

As we step into March 12, 2025, the pace of life might feel relentless—deadlines, decisions, or distractions pulling at you. Yet Psalm 23:1-2 reminds us of a profound truth: with the Lord as our shepherd, we lack nothing. He doesn’t just guide us; He leads us to rest. Those green pastures and quiet waters aren’t distant—they’re His promise for today.

Imagine yourself there for a moment—peaceful, provided for, under His watchful eye. What’s keeping you from that rest right now? A busy mind? A heavy heart? Let the Shepherd lead you. Trust Him to handle what you can’t, and allow yourself to breathe in His care. This day can be a sanctuary if you let it.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, my Shepherd,
Thank You for guiding me and providing for my every need. Today, I feel [name a specific burden], and I ask You to lead me to green pastures and quiet waters. Help me rest in Your care, trusting You with what I can’t control. Fill me with Your peace, and let me reflect Your calm to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
