The first line of Psalm 23 may very well be the essence of all we need to know for perfect peace of mind in this world: “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”

In the sense that no problem has the power to undermine God’s intentions for me of making the story of my life a remarkable and perfect display of his shepherdly care.
So, because the Lord is your shepherd, and you lack nothing, when you see anything within or around you in which you feel troubled or tempted — a fear, a regret, a tempting thought — you can confidently say, “My shepherd, Jesus, has this covered. He has already dealt with this. And he will guide and counsel me in whatever I may need to do. All is well.” And you can thank him that indeed it is so because he is such a good shepherd.
