Psalm 23:1
Psalm 100:3
W. Phillip Keller, in his beloved book A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, offers a gentle and profound perspective on one of the most cherished passages in Scripture. Drawing from his years as a shepherd in East Africa and his later work in agricultural research and land stewardship in British Columbia, Keller writes with the heart of someone who truly understands what it means to care for sheep—and to be cared for.
I’m currently reading A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 for the second time. The first time was to gather understanding; this time, I’m reading slowly, seeking wisdom, insight, and a deeper connection to my own walk with the Good Shepherd.

Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do
Faithful women circles are one of God’s most beautiful answers to loneliness, spiritual fatigue, and quiet struggle. Many Christian women—especially in their 50s and beyond—carry responsibilities that others don’t see: caring for family, supporting adult children, managing health challenges, or walking through grief.

Quiet trust prayer is often the most difficult—and the most powerful—form of prayer. It is the prayer you whisper when words feel heavy, when explanations don’t come, and when your heart must lean fully on God without knowing what comes next. In Psalm 62:1, David writes, “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.” This kind
Servant leadership grace begins with a simple truth: God is not impressed by titles—He is moved by hearts willing to serve. In a world that celebrates power, speed, influence, and perfection, women of faith are called to lead differently. We lead through humility, compassion, wisdom, and grace.
