My own version of Psalm 23:
“My darling Daddy is God, I have everything I need.
He leads me to tranquility, to the springs of new life he shows me.
He guides me on this journey of virtue and integrity, so that His name will be glorified.
Even when I pass through seemingly unending dark tunnels, still I know He is near.
Knowing His presence and mighty power deep in my heart, I am uplifted and unafraid.
My Daddy prepares everything ahead for me. Every meal is prepared for me.
My King calls me His Princess, and anoints me with His own right hand.
He fills my cup with His generosity, till it is overflowing. I have all I need. He knows what I need.
My Daddy is goodness and kindness and mercy all rolled into one. And more.
He will follow me, go ahead of me, walk beside me, all the days of my life.
He is my Home, my refuge, my sanctuary. He is God, as long as I live. To Him I belong”

Recently, one of my parents suddenly developed extreme pain. Unable to walk, sit or even lie down without pain, I can only imagine how limiting life can suddenly become. We take so much for granted, especially for those of us who do not have constant pain, daily activities like sitting down to eat, to go to the toilet, lying down to rest for the day, cleaning etc.
When pain peaks, nothing else mattered. Mood swings, anger, hopelessness, depression, insecurity, financial drain, just to name a few. But no matter what, my mission is to love. To love without expectations, to serve like the lowliest servant, to cheer like a person with hope,to pray like a person with faith.
Jesus took his own body, and offered it for my sins. The pain, suffering, can only be imagined. They say that in the movie 'The Passion of The Christ', the torture shown was a mere 40% of what really happened.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I lift up all those who are in pain today, those whose pain is not just limited to physical, but mental and emotional pains. Those whose pain cannot be relieved by medicines. Please send your comforting love to them, and let them know You are very near and understand very well. Bless them Lord. Amen.
