Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times Best Selling Author, Joy Smire.

On today's program, Joy's 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.

David knew that as our good shepherd,

God wants to provide for us every single day.

Today, Joy's takes a deeper look at David's Psalm 23,

breaking it down verse by verse,

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

Now, here's Joy's with today's teaching.

Matthew 26, 39, says,

and going a little further,

he threw himself upon the ground on his face and prayed.

You know, when Jesus threw himself on the ground on his face and prayed,

he was praying out of great agony of soul.

He was making a decision that was gut-wrenchingly hard to make.

If it's possible, let this cup pass away from me.

Nevertheless, not what I want,

but your will be done.
