    God's Comfort For The Anxious & Exhausted: A Devo in Psalm 23 | Taylor Mitchell

    If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted, Psalm 23 offers a deeply comforting reminder: you are not walking through life alone. Taylor joins Ellen to walk through one of the most beloved passages in Scripture—Psalm 23. From “green pastures” to “the valley of the shadow of death,” Psalm 23 paints a picture of a Shepherd who leads, protects, and stays near even in the hardest seasons of life. Together, they talk about:  what it means that the Lord is our Shepherd when life feels out of control  why anxiety often comes from our desire for control and certainty  how God invites us into real rest what it looks like to trust God in “valley seasons” that don’t end quickly  how Scripture redefines suffering as a place of God’s presence, not absenceFREE DOWNLOAD: All Scriptures mentioned in this episode are available in a beautifully designed printable resource to encourage and strengthen your time in God’s Word.
