Restored

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters,
He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
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 staff comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil and my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ~Psalm 23

There is so much in this often quoted Psalm. It is commonly offered at funerals, but it is so much more than a final prayer to say over our loved ones.
I love and am most comforted by the third verse-"He restores my soul."
The word restore means, to bring back to (a previous right, practice, custom, or situation), reinstate, return someone or something to a former condition, place or position. To repair, to renovate.
Synonyms of restore are:repair, fix, mend, refurbish, recondition, rehabilitate, rebuild, reconstruct, remodel, overhaul, redevelop.
These synonyms touch my heart-especially rehabilitate-I have been rehabilitated by The Lord!
Restore also means to give back someone or something that was lost or taken, To bring back to a state of health, soundness or vigor!
I have been restored  by God! Hallelujah! HE restores my soul, continues, keeps restoring, keeps bringing back. That is to say, restore is one of those active verbs in this verse, He keeps restoring us, keeps renewing us and bringing us back to Himself, if we trust Him to be our shepherd-daily. I daily trust Him, He daily restores me.
Make it your personal prayer today.
The Lord is Jean's Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores Jean's soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though Jean walks through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with Jean. Your rod and your staff comfort me. You prepare a table before Jean in the presence of her enemies. You anoint her head with oil and her cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow her all the days of her life, and she will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Make it personal, make it your prayer. Make it a prayer over your loved ones inserting their name in that place. He cares for you. He is the good Shepherd.
