PAMOJA MINISTRY — THE HOUSE OF PRAYER —PRAYER XXI — PSALM 23: YOU ARE WITH ME A Prayer for the Valley

a prayer for the valley lord you are my shepherd

and because you are my shepherd i will not be

abandoned i will not be forgotten and i will

not lack what i need to fulfill your purpose

for my life when my soul is tired lead me beside

still waters when my mind is overwhelmed restore

my soul when i cannot see the road ahead lead

me in the right path god I confess that this

season has not been easy. I have walked through

places I never expected to walk through. I have

faced uncertainty. I have faced disappointment.

I have faced battles I could not fight in my

own strength. But your word says, even though

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me. So

today, I declare, I am walking through this valley.

This valley is not my destination. This darkness

is not my permanent address. This difficult chapter

is not the conclusion of my story. Because you

are with me. When I cannot see you, you are with

me. When I cannot understand what you are doing,

you are with me. When I am exhausted from waiting,

you are with me. Your rod protects me. Your staff

guides me. And even in the presence of what has

fought against me, you are preparing a table

before me. God, anoint my head again. Restore

my strength. Restore my peace. Restore my confidence.

Let my cup overflow again. And when this valley

is behind me, let my life testify that surely

goodness and mercy followed me even through the

darkest season. I will not surrender in the valley.

I will not build my home in the valley. I will

keep walking because my shepherd is with me.

and I believe that you are leading me somewhere,

from the valley, to still waters, from exhaustion,

to restoration, from uncertainty, to your purpose.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all

the days of my life, and I will dwell in the

presence of the Lord forever. In Jesus' name,

amen. If you are walking through a difficult

season today, remember this, the valley is something

you walk through, not somewhere you remain. Your

shepherd is still with you. You are not alone.
