Your Goodness and Mercy

A prayer based on Psalm 23 for those who struggle to believe that God cares for them

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
 all the days of my life…
— Psalm 23:6 ESV

O Lord, my faithful shepherd and generous host, help me to believe that your goodness surrounds me and your mercy will not desert me, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
