You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast to help you discover sacred moments

in the middle of an ordinary day.

If you would enjoy greater access to even more free meditations, I encourage you to download

the Encountering Peace app where all the meditations are free as they should be.

Just imagine it, line down in a beautiful, lush green pasture beside a quiet, soothing

stream.

It's not a care in the world.

Feeling feeling refreshed, feeling restored, protected, guided, consoled, and definitely

loved.

Yes, there are shadows, there is darkness, but never so oppressing that it's to be feared

because God is with you, He has been, He is, and He will be yet again.

The theme of this guided audio meditation from the 23rd Psalm will help you remember that

whether your life feels peaceful or chaotic in the moments before you settled here, your

father in heaven is the good shepherd and is present to love and care for you, to care

for you as you lie down in green pastures.

So to begin your meditation, just settle into that place of rest, that place where you

can be present with your shepherd.

And as you begin, listen and join into this responsive prayer from Philippians chapter

4 and respond, Lord, guide and shield me.

God you will liberally supply me.

Lord, guide and shield me.

God you will fill until full my every need.
