Understanding the message
Psalm 23 does not say the sheep will never enter a valley. It declares the Shepherd’s presence there. Notice the movement from speaking about God to speaking to him.
Trusting God does not require refusing appropriate help. As we seek safety and wise counsel, we can continue praying with courage.
