If we’re in a dark valley, we fear—

Will we ever find the other side?

Will life ever feel normal again?

If we aren’t in a dark valley—

We fear we’ll be taken there soon.

The fear of living in pain, loss, and difficulty can be paralyzing.

There is no doubt we will all walk through difficult seasons.

You already have.

It’s a part of living in a fallen world in bodies that are breaking down.

And yet, here you are. You’re still standing. God has seen you through thus far, and he won’t stop here. Let that encourage you.

Let this meditation on Psalm 23 also encourage and remind you that God is good, he is with you, and he will guide you through all the twists and turns of life.

May you lay aside any fears that feel crippling and return your focus to God, who will be faithful to you always.

God is with you. He will never let you go, even when you must walk through a dark valley.

You have nothing to fear.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Psalm 23, NET

1 The Lord is my shepherd,

I lack nothing.

2 He takes me to lush pastures,

he leads me to refreshing water.

3 He restores my strength.

He leads me down the right paths

for the sake of his reputation.

4 Even when I must walk through the darkest valley,

I fear no danger,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff reassure me.

5 You prepare a feast before me

in plain sight of my enemies.

You refresh my head with oil;

my cup is completely full.

6 Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days,

and I will live in the Lord’s house for the rest of my life.
