Psalm 23 Personalised

When reading Andy Flannagan's book "Distinctive Worship" I came across this exercise of personalising a psalm. It really helped me to visualise what psalm 23 meant to me:

You God, are my provider

You make sure everything I need is 'in stock'

You give me a 'spa day' in your presence

You turn my 'head-space' into a God-space

You are my energy drink

You Lord, are my Sat Nav and when I reach my destination it's to you I give the credit 

Even in those times when I receive the worst news ever and it feels like the light's gone out on life

I won't freak out

You stand so close I can feel your breath

Your arms are wrapped around me like a 'hug-in-a-mug'

When you discipline me and block my way I feel secure because I know you don't want me to walk down paths that are too difficult for me

When I'm faced with all the things the enemy throws at me, you throw me a party

You set me apart as a special guest

And give me way more than I need - abundant joy

You are chasing me with goodness and love

I believe they will hunt me down everyday

Each day I am determined to live where you live

To be a welcome home for your presence, forever
