The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1
Under the new covenant, we get to meditate on the person of Jesus when we meditate on the Word.
Jesus is the Word made flesh, and as you meditate on His love for you, on His finished work, on His forgiveness and on His grace, you will have good success.
You can just take one verse and meditate on Jesus’ love for you. For example, you can begin to mutter Psalm 23:1 under your breath: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”
As you meditate on this simple verse, you begin to realize that the Lord is (present tense) your shepherd. A shepherd provides for his sheep, feeds them and protects them.
Because Jesus is your shepherd, you shall not be in want for anything.
You shall not lack wisdom, direction, provision—anything.
Now, in this short period of meditating on Jesus, faith is imparted and your heart is encouraged with the reality that Jesus is with you, even when you are facing challenges.
Whether you are a homemaker, salesperson or business owner, your soul will be nourished and strengthened when you meditate on Jesus. In fact, He will propel you into success without you even realizing it!
Without you having to scheme or make all sorts of plans, He will direct your steps and cause doors of opportunity to supernaturally open wide for you. When you meditate on Jesus, your ways always become prosperous.

Good evening Pastor. It is the 25th November 2016 the time is 18:44 I am in South Africa. On 09 November 2016 my husband went to be with The Lord. I am torn apart because of this saparation. All the time I used to pray Psalm 91 and quote words like as Christ is so are you my darling. So today for the first time after my husband’s depature I tried to read Psalm 91 but I couldn’t finish it, I cried a lot when I realise my husband suffered all the things this psalm promises we will be protected from, he had sugar diabetes, hypertension that resulted in kidney failure and he had lot of operations because of the catheter they are using for dialysis, there were infections because of this foreign bodies but I still believe God is who His word says He is, I am still holding on to my faith though I am a bit confused. I need your advise on this matter please.
Regards.
23 The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],
I shall not want.
2
He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.
3
He refreshes and restores my soul (life);
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
4
Even though I walk through the [sunless] [a]valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed and refreshed my head with [b]oil;
My cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.
Hi Esther
I’m so sorry to hear you lost your husband it’s so heartbreaking and it seems to get worse before you see signs of the grief getting better. I lost my husband also. I don’t know if it’s any help but if you listen to Dr Berg YouTube about diabetics and insulin resistance it may shed a lot of light and how your husbands sickness got out of hand. There are lots of his videos covering many ailments. I hope this helps you in some way Esther and that Jesus will dry up your tears and heal your broken heart.
Another soul saved a Baptized thank you Jesus.for loving them most of all.
