A tapestry of the journey

Part 1: In the beginning
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
   He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
   He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.  Psalm 23: 1 -3

Part 2: The dark days
Even though I walk
   through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.  Psalm 23:4

Part 3: The healing
You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5

Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
   Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
   The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Isaiah 54:14

Part 4: Restoration
Restore us, LORD God Almighty;
   make your face shine on us,
   that we may be saved. Psalm 80: 19

Let their flesh be renewed like a child’s;
   let them be restored as in the days of their youth’—
then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,
   they will see God’s face and shout for joy;
   he will restore them to full well-being. Job 33:25-26

Part 5: And
Surely your goodness and mercy will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever. Psalm 23:6
