Key Verse:

“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”

— Psalm 23:3

Rooted Truth:

Restoration is not just about circumstances—it’s about God reviving our weary souls.

Faith Story:

Charles Spurgeon, often called the “Prince of Preachers,” battled seasons of depression and exhaustion. In those valleys, he clung to Psalm 23:3, reminding himself that the Shepherd not only guides but also restores.

Spurgeon once said:

“When my soul has been overwhelmed, He has led me to the Rock that is higher than I.”

Just as a shepherd rescues and refreshes a sheep that has strayed or collapsed, God gently lifts us, revives us, and sets us back on the right path.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Psalm 19:7 – “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul…”

Jeremiah 31:25 – “For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”

Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Daily Practice:

Take a quiet moment today to pause in God’s presence—away from noise, phone, or distractions. Read Psalm 23 slowly, and invite the Lord to refresh and restore your soul.

Daily Prayer:

Shepherd of my soul, thank You for restoring me when I am weary, broken, or lost. Lead me in Your righteousness today, and keep my heart at rest in Your care. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• What drains your soul most often?

• How has God restored you in past seasons of weakness or weariness?

• What step can you take today to rest more deeply in His restoring presence?
