David was a shepherd when he was a boy, so he wrote a song: “The LORD is my shepherd!”
A good shepherd gives his sheep green grass and quiet water. He leads them on safe paths. He protects them in dark valleys.
Just like that, God takes care of us. We don't have to be afraid, because God is always with us.
