Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does the shepherd do for the sheep in this psalm, including in the valley?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Where do you need restoring rather than pushing harder?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What will you stop doing this week in order to lie down, as the psalm describes?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is walking through a dark valley that you could walk beside?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Shepherd, you make us lie down, you lead us to still water, and you walk with us through the dark valley. Restore what is worn out in us.
