restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for
His name's sake.

comfort me.

that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will
lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe
with the lion, and a little child will lead them all.
7
The cow will graze near the bear. The cub and the calf will lie down
together. The lion will eat hay like a cow.

child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.

waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know
The Lord.

John
10:11-15 KJV

am The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd giveth His Life for the
sheep.

But he that is an hireling, and not The Shepherd, whose own the sheep
are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for
the sheep.
14 I
am The Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.

As The Father knoweth Me, even so know I The Father: and I lay down
My Life for the sheep.

and patience.
I
Thessalonians 2:5-7 ESV
5
For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a
pretext for greed—God is witness.
6
Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others,
though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. 7 But we
were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own
children.
I
Timothy 6:11 NLT
But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil
things. Pursue righteousness and a Godly life, along with

II
Timothy 2:24-26 ESV
24
And The Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone,
able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
25
correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them
repentance leading to a knowledge of The Truth,
26
and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the
devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
James
3:17,18 KJV
17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make
peace.
I
Peter 2:20-25 KJV
20
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye
shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it,
ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for
us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps:
22
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth:
23
Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He
threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth
righteously:
24
Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes
ye were healed.
25
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto The
Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
I Peter 3:15 English Standard Version
But
in your hearts honor Christ The Lord as Holy, always being prepared
to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope
that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
Titus
3:1,2 KJV
1
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey
magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To
speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all
meekness unto all men.
Prayer:

and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
