The bestselling guide to the healing wisdom of the Twenty-Third Psalm—from the beloved author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People. “A book worthy of attention from people of all faiths.” —The Dallas Morning News Rabbi Harold Kushner has found that the simple, beautiful verses of perhaps the most memorable and cherished chapter of the Bible—full of honesty and optimism—have an almost magical power to comfort and calm—and to change your life. The psalm does not pretend that life is ever easy, but it offers a masterful guide to living in the world with faith and courage. Drawing on over forty years of his own thinking, on other biblical scholars, and on history, Kushner gracefully demonstrates how this sustaining work can help us cope with every aspect of life, from mundane jealousies to the death of a loved one to unimaginable tragedies of global proportions.

Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences life can throw our way. The pain, grief, and emotions that come with the loss can be overwhelming, and it can be challenging to find comfort and hope amidst the pain. When I lost my father, I was struggling to find solace in anything. It was as if the world had stopped, and I was left alone, lost and confused. But then, I stumbled upon Psalm 23, and it spoke to my heart in a way that nothing else could. This passage of scripture became my refuge, my comfort, and my guide through the dark and difficult journey of grief. Psalm 23 is a timeless and beautiful passage of scripture that has brought comfort to countless individuals throughout history. It speaks of a loving Shepherd who cares for his sheep, leading them to green pastures, beside still waters, and through the darkest valleys. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God is with us, comforting us, and guiding us through the pain. In this devotional, we will explore Psalm 23 and how it can bring comfort and hope to those who are grieving. We will look at each verse and reflect on its meaning and how it applies to our lives.
