I shall not want

 This is a common  scriptural text used by most to pray. I just decided to write it because it came to me as one of the most touching and thought-provoking piece of writing  in the Bible. Just read it as you would any poem, and you would see what I mean.

 The LORD is my shepherd;
 I shall not want.
 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
 He leadeth me beside the still waters.
 He restoreth my soul:
 He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
 I will fear no evil: 
 For thou art with me;
 Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
 Thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
 Thou annointest my head with oil;
 My cup runneth over.
 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
 All the days of my life:
 And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
 Forever.
No matter what anybody will say to you, you are blessed. The Lord is your shepherd. That should tell you something. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. His flock never hunger nor thirst, nor want. The Lord is your shepherd. - Andy
