The Lord is my Shepherd ; I shall not want

It was just a month before the wedding 

And Anna went about 

Looking around so nervously.

The groom was so rich and everything about him so fancy.

It's going to be so embarrassing especially when a thousand eyes will be watching   me.

Clutching her hands to face she tried to push the negative thoughts away.

Doing the only thing she knew to do

She started to pray.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalms 23:1 KJV

She repeated the verse over and over again.

Suddenly to her surprise her house was flooded

With friends and family.

Bringing her in the form of gifts all she needed on her wedding day.

“This is amazing grace”, her brother said

“It’s surely the hand of God”!  Mother exclaimed. Wiping tears of joy from her face.

The bride to be nodded in agreement,

Giving thanks to her God for saving her from disgrace.

The wedding day arrived. 

Shocked out of her wits was she,

The wedding was made for Cinderella

“Oh God, I am she”! To herself she exclaimed.

The wedding was like a fairy tale

It was the talk of the town for days.

Blessed, blessed in abundance

She fell that night on her knee.

“I didn’t have a father to lean on,

But God oh god!

I have thee.
