Beloved author and therapist K. J. Ramsey invites you to journey word-by-word through Psalm 23 to experience how the Good Shepherd is with you and for you, especially in the valleys of life. When you struggle to find the words to hold your pain or trauma, be encouraged to cultivate the compassion and courage to believe that your story will, in fact, end in joy.Through K. J.'s lyrical and emotive writing, you are invited to:Surrender your anxiety and your tears to a faithful GodValidate your emotions and embrace them as the gift they areSlow down and remember that good will come againReplenish your soul with the life of Christ and the promises of GodRefresh your faith with a peace that lastsExperience newfound confidence in prayerRemember that even when pain is not past-tense, God is still present Courage is a common hope that we can cultivate together. These prayers and poems can be read in group settings--among friends, families, and worshipping communities--and are also ideal for personal reflection.
