I have what I need.

Amen
What more do I need.
KELLY (NEO)… I have no new info on Fred and Sharon. I often text their daughter/my friend, and she has nothing new to report. (They have been looking to send Sharon to a rehab facility for the last TWO WEEKS… I’m sure they are frustrated about that. I know I am!) Fred meets with the oncologist this week, so I guess that IS new, and we should pray about that. I just pray for their general healing. That’s all we can do at this time, I guess. Thank you for following up on them.
❤️
This psalm means so much to me. Thank You Lord!
Praying for MIA FAITH & her family. Doing some Spring cleaning and gardening. Thankful to God for the grace and goodness he supplies that allows me to do these small tasks to his Glory.
When I forget to read a day’s devotion it feels like I’m putting it off and that’s what happened on Thursday which I ended up reading today. I have also accidentally gotten ahead of everyone and then had to force myself to miss a day of scripture just to get caught up.
I have what I need! Just last night I was thinking this very same thing!! AND here it is reminding me and assuring me! WOW! I love how God works in that way! Since coming here to live a my mom’s home after leaving an abusive marriage, My God, My Jesus, Jehovah Jireh has provided ALL my needs! Now, do I have wants? Of course I do and sometimes I get them and sometimes I don’t and I’m OK with that, MOST of time. And I’ve always said, I may not have everything, but I have what I need. My daughter and I are on Spring break. We always try to do one over-night trip to the beach. Last night my son offered to pay for our over night stay and I pay for food and best part? He’s driving. So he’ll be joining us this year. I’m so glad because every trip she and I have taken, we both MISS HIM! I’m grateful for the wonderful relationship we have. I’m rambling this morning… so sorry…I woke up with a massive headache… Its so gorgeous outside this morning, but don’t have the strength to go for a run. I need this headache to subside as this morning I will be attending my friend Michelle’s dad’s memorial service. I know its going to be a wonderful Celebration of his Life. Happy Saturday sweet she’s! Love you all!
I have all that I need……I have to keep reminding myself this and to trust in the Lord that he will provide. I fell and broke my foot this week. It’s a bad break and I’m a hairstylist who stands all day. I don’t get sick time so without working, I don’t get paid. It’s hard to give up control. Control at home, work and over my clients. I have worked so hard to build up a clientele and it’s scary to hand them over to someone else. What if they don’t come back? This time makes me contemplate life and how much I work. I’m always wanting time off to relax but not in this way. I work too much and maybe this is Gods way of giving me a sign to slow down.
Karrie, praying your foot heals quickly but most of all you can find peace with being out of work and a better balance when you return! ❤️ It’s hard to let go of what we think is our control. When really God has had us all along! Praying for you sweet sister!
Praying that your foot heals quickly and you won’t be out of work too long. Hang in there!
Good morning!
Just read thru all the comments and prayed over all my she sisters.
Thankful for this group of prayer warriors and Jesus seekers.
Hugs to all ❤️
TINA ❤️ “I lack nothing when I hold His hand” Amen, let’s hold on tight!
KELLY (NEO) and LAURA DIANNE – thank you for the HRT shares yesterday. “Ears of the heart” will stick with me.
And KELLY (NEO) amen and amen, what more do we NEED?
CEE GEE – ❤️ loved “ convection tills the soil of the heart, making it more productive in the future”
DANIELLE D – praying for your dad, grandma and sister. And you as you work through these challenging times
MICHELLE PATIRE – praying for peace and guidance as you work and evaluate this new job
SARAH D – praying for guidance and patience in the waiting
Some versions say, “I shall not want.”
The word ‘shall’ always stands out to me. It’s a word we don’t tend to use here in the South. It speaks to me of future intent – an intentional reaction on my part as well as my Shepherd’s part.
I shall not (never) be in need nor ever be forsaken by Him. So thankful the LORD is my Shepherd!
SEARCHING – ❤
MICHELLE – May this new job fill many needs and open doors for you. ❤
DANIELLE – That sounds like si much! God bless you with a peace that gets you through! ❤
Praying for all hearts and needs.
The Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need.
How often do I look at my wants over my needs. My needs have been fulfilled, but the wants of this world are dangled in front of us like bright orange carrots. Look away! Look toward Jesus.
GM!
Lifting you all up. You were in my thoughts last night Aimee, I know that has to be frustrating with the awful migraines from so long.
Trust that we are important and in His care, he is everything we need. I pray I can cling to that every hour.
During my struggle with intense insomnia I often turned to Psalm 23 to be reminded of who had me and was in control. What a beautiful reminder this morning during another challenging time in my life that thankfully does not include insomnia.
Thank you ladies for praying for my family in this season. My dad’s surgery was pushed back to April due him having Covid and some testing that is needed following results of his CT. My grandma is mentally having a hard time in the nursing facility where she is rehabbing. One of her desires is to pass at home where my grandpa also passed. We suspect she answered a scam call and is now anxious about losing her home. She is also very weak. My sister is planning to come to town to see her this weekend. She is a prodigal as well.
I’m behind on reading everyone’s comments, so please know as I go back this morning to read through some I’m lifting each one up.
Thank You Lord!
Amen! Thank you God!
God is good.
All the time.
God is good!
Lifting you ladies in prayer this Saturday morning!
Salvation from God’s wrath for my rebellion and restored relationship with the Creator of the universe…yup that is all I “NEED” :-)

“The Lord is my shepherd”. Jesus is all I need – what more could I want? If Jesus is at the center off my life then I really shouldn’t want any more than that. But to often I think I need more and it leaves me unsatisfied. Jesus has never failed me, He has never left me, let me meditate on that today and rejoice in His presence as I go about my day.
@Michelle – praying for you as you start your day at your new job. Also that God will give you peace of mind and heart as you seek His will.
@Sarah D – prayers that God will bring that special someone into your life in His time.
@Mia – hugs and prayers! May God lead the searchers to your husbands body, praying peace and comfort for your family.
Blessings to you all on this quiet, sunny Saturday morn. ❤️ ✝️
Thank you, Theresa! ❤️ Headed in a few minutes to try a second day and see if it’s something that feels right to me. Appreciate you. :)
God bless you Shes. May you stay ever aware of the Lord in your life and around you. ❤️
Praying this morning for the requests shared, but especially for
MICHELLE PATIRE- praying that God will bring peace to your mind and that if the additional part time job is his plan, it will be clear.
SARAH D-praying for God to bring peace and contentment to your heart. Praying that he brings the right man into your life and writes a beautiful love story at the right time.
MIA FAITH-continuing to pray for you and your family.
Thank you Lord for your love, mercy and forgiveness
Lifting all prayers requests to the One who hears, knows and sees. He is good, He is God.
Amen.
Much love.
Tina.❤️
My mother in law that was, many years ago, had a friend who had dementia that lived close by. So often, when she had charge of my youngest son, over summer, she would take him to visit her. He would often stay a week or more which was always fun for him. This particular summer though, his evenings were spent reading the Psalms to her. Psalm 23 must have been one so deeply buried and learned, because she would often recite along with my son, even though, for the most part, she could not speak, generally!
BUT GOD..
I have loved Psalm 23 for a lifetime.. long before I understood truly what was being professed here, my heart was won over by it. It always felt safe, it felt and still does, like a letter from home.
It has been my go to, and most mornings, my eyes will open and mouth will pour out Psalm 23!
The LORD is my shepherd.. indeed He is!
I lack nothing, when I hold His hand,
Look to Him.
Talk to Him.
Live my life for His Glory.
Praise Him..
Thank you Lord God, Thank you.
AMEN.
Happy Saturday!❤️
I am reminded of what I noticed earlier this week… the CSB says I gave what I NEED (emphasis, mine!}
Praying throughout the week for many sweet sisters and their families and friends.
Saturday blessings to all!
