🧠 Devotional
There’s a quote by Leanna Crawford that goes like this:
“Anxiety hates Psalm 23.”
And when you actually read Psalm 23, you can see why.
King James Version:
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 preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest 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 for ever.
According to Matthew 6:25–34 and Philippians 4:6–7, anxiety is worrying about your life, carrying tomorrow’s problems today, and trying to control what only God can control instead of trusting Him with it.
And this is exactly why anxiety hates this chapter.
Anxiety tells you that you don’t have enough.
Verse 1 says you lack nothing.
Anxiety is loud and chaotic.
Verse 2 says He leads you beside still waters.
Anxiety drains you.
Verse 3 says He restores your soul.
Anxiety makes you afraid of what could happen.
Verse 4 says even in the worst situation, you don’t have to fear because He is with you.
Anxiety tells you you’re surrounded and losing.
Verse 5 says God prepares a table for you right in front of your enemies.
Anxiety tells you things won’t work out.
Verse 6 says goodness and mercy will follow you all your life.
That’s why anxiety hates Psalm 23. It directly challenges every lie it tries to tell you.
🙏 Prayer (Guided by A.C.T.S.)

Adoration: Lord, thank You for being my Shepherd and my peace.
Confession: Forgive me for letting anxiety control my thoughts.
Thanksgiving: Thank You for staying with me through every valley.
Supplication: Help me trust You and rest in Your peace.
In Jesus name, Amen
