We live in an age of constant connection—news alerts, texts, emails, social media updates—yet all this information comes at a cost. The endless stream of tragedies, opinions, and events can overstimulate our hearts and minds, leaving us drained.

But we were never designed to carry the weight of the world. That’s God’s job. In this evening's prayer and devotional, we remember that He calls us to turn to Him, our Good Shepherd, who restores our souls and leads us to peace. Just as Psalm 23 reminds us, He invites us beside still waters, where His voice calms the noise of everything else.

It’s not wrong to care about what’s happening in the world, but when the flood of information begins to steal our peace, that’s our cue to step back. The Shepherd’s voice must be louder than the media. In His presence, we find the refreshment our overstimulated souls so desperately need.

📖 Tonight’s Scripture: Psalm 23:2-3

"He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake."

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Lord,
There are moments when the flood of news and social media leaves me anxious and weary. The weight of the world feels too heavy to carry. Tonight, remind me that You are my Shepherd and in You, I lack nothing. Help me to quiet the voices around me so that I can rest in Your presence. Refresh my soul and teach me to be discerning with my attention, trusting that You are always at work.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon

1. Recall a place or image that conveys peace—perhaps a park, a childhood memory, or a picture in a book. How can you turn to this as a reminder of God’s “green pastures”?

2. Imagine God’s Word as a lighthouse guiding you through the storm of information. What verse anchors you when you feel overwhelmed?

3. Brainstorm daily ways to unplug from devices—like prayer, time in nature, or simply sitting quietly in His presence.
