When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down,
your sleep will be sweet. (Proverbs 3:24)
Nothing reduces stress like the presence of the Shepherd.
Psalm 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
1. Surrender yourself to the Lordship and the leadership of Jesus.
Living a satisfied life begins with acknowledging that God
knows more than you do.

Spend time with him, in the word, in prayer, in worship, in
meditation.
3. Let God lead you there every day.
Every day he will guide you to a place of rest.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)
1. Memorize Psalm 23:2.
Psalm 23:1-2
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.
2. Identify the green pastures and still waters in your life.
3. Visit a 'green pasture' every day of your life.
4. Meditate on the good and pleasant things God has brought into your life.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8)
Those who know the Good Shepherd experience life a
different way.
