Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd.

We all have moments in life when we feel overwhelmed, times when we need direction and protection.

The psalmist David experienced these feelings, yet he also knew the one who could lead

him through life's dark valleys.

the freedom we can have when we follow God's leading.

It's like... Somebody needs to say it, we need to get back on track.

You know, like...

Hey, man, how about if, what if God took the attitude with us that we take with people?
