# Psalm 23 for a hard week

## Opening line (0–5 seconds)
Some weeks you are not walking. You are being carried.
What we draw: A small figure sitting on a rock at the bottom of a steep valley, head down.

## The verse (5–20 seconds)
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters." Psalm 23, verses 1 and 2.
What we draw: A shepherd's staff appears next to the figure, then a stream drawn from left to right across the bottom of the board.

## Reflection (20–45 seconds)
Notice that the sheep does nothing in these two verses. It does not find the pasture. It does not dig the well. It is led. If this week has asked more of you than you have, you are allowed to stop pushing and let yourself be led. Rest is not falling behind. It is part of the path.
What we draw: The figure stands and walks beside the shepherd toward an open field at the top of the valley.

## Prayer (45–55 seconds)
Lord, I am tired. Lead me today. I will not run ahead. I will follow one step at a time. Amen.
What we draw: Two sets of footprints on a dirt path, one set larger than the other.

## Close (55–60 seconds)
Tomorrow we read verse three, the valley. Come back.
What we draw: The words "Psalm 23" written in the lower corner of the board.
