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
