This week, I want to share with you some powerful insights from one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture. I'm focusing on Psalm 23, where King David — a shepherd himself — reveals seven incredible benefits that come from trusting God as your Shepherd.

The Long Road Back to Freedom
By Kari Smalley Gibson, TP Community Storyteller
There are moments in life when everything feels like it’s fallen apart—and you’re left wondering if God can still redeem what’s been lost.
Tracie knows that place well. She reached out to the Tipping Point Prayer Team and shared her testimony.
At one point in her life, everything felt lost—poor decisions, deep regret, and seasons marked by shame and separation. She describes it as a fall so costly it left her wondering if she would ever return to the purity she once had with Christ.
But God never let her go.
Even in her lowest moments—when the weight of her choices felt unbearable—Jesus remained. Quietly, faithfully, relentlessly present. While others may have written her off, God was still writing her story.
“I rose up out of the ashes,” she shared—not by her own strength, but by the grace of a Savior who refused to leave her there.
Through the love of faithful believers, God surrounded her with people who stood beside her, spoke truth, and reminded her of who she was in Him. Over time, He restored what once felt impossible—her faith, her identity, and her hope.
Today, Tracie walks in a renewed relationship with Christ. She hears His voice, follows His leading, and lives fully dependent on Him. What once felt like condemnation has been replaced with freedom.
And even now, God continues to move.
As she and her husband step into a new season—returning “home” with nothing but faith—she carries a deep peace. Not because life is perfect, but because she knows the One who holds it all.
As Scripture reminds us, “No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39
Tracie’s testimony is living proof: no matter how far you’ve fallen, God’s grace still reaches—and His story for your life is never over.

We're powerful in God, but we're powerful to the degree that we become dependent, that we admit our weakness, that we admit that we're sheep. —Jimmy Evans
