Psalm 23 : 1 (NIV) — The Lord Is My Shepherd | Prayers of David | Trusting God for Provision and Contentment

Psalm 23 : 1 NIV — The Lord Is My Shepherd | Prayers of David | Faith for Provision and Contentment in Every Season | Reverend Ben Cooper | RB Christian Radio London | Global Christian Prayer Podcast

Scripture (NIV):

“The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” — Psalm 23 : 1 (NIV)

Recorded live here in London, England — Reverend Ben Cooper opens the Psalm 23 series with a powerful teaching on trusting God as our provider and shepherd of peace.

Show Notes

When David declared, “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing,” he was not describing a life without need but a heart without fear. In a world searching “prayers for financial breakthrough,” “trust God to provide,” and “how to find contentment,” this verse remains the eternal answer. Reverend Ben Cooper reminds listeners that God’s care is not seasonal but sovereign — He leads, feeds, and provides for His people day by day.

Provision is not defined by what you own but by who owns you. When the Lord is your shepherd, He guides you into peace even in the valley of uncertainty. David’s confidence came from relationship, not resources. God’s promise to provide is not an economic statement but a covenant of care.

Across the world, believers are learning that contentment is a spiritual discipline. When we praise God for what we have, we invite Him to multiply what we need. Gratitude turns lack into abundance. Faith transforms worry into worship. This episode invites you to rest in the truth that God knows your needs before you speak them, and He has already made a way to meet them.
