“The mere presence of the shepherd puts the sheep at peace. When he is near, they don't panic, and they don't fight. They can lay down in peaceful slumber. It's the same with you and me. Nothing reduces stress like the presence of the Shepherd. When you are living in close connection to Jesus, you can sleep, you can relax, you can rest.” ChristianJesusPeaceRestShepherd Book:The Shepherd: Reflections on Psalm 23 Source: The Shepherd: Reflections on Psalm 23
