A Psalm and Scriptures for Singles

This is a paraphrase of the twenty-third psalm that I wrote with singles in mind. As you read it remember Jesus is your Shepherd. He cares for you. He knows what it means to be single, for he lived as a single man himself. Who better to watch over you and keep you safe?

Jesus is my greatest friend,

My Protector,

My Guide:

I shall be contented.

My walk with him provides rest and refreshing.

He satisfies my inmost self.

I will face everything that comes with Jesus, my Lord.

I will know him as my constant companion.

My fellowship with him will be my greatest delight;

I will not let enemies steal it from me.

I have an overflowing cup;

I am fully satisfied;

And I will always be at home with him.
