I Need Thee Every Hour | Psalm 23

Most people discover how much they need Jesus when life falls apart. Hospital rooms, broken relationships, unexpected diagnoses, and seasons of grief have a way of exposing our dependence on God.

Yet Psalm 23 begins somewhere unexpected—not in the valley, but in green pastures and beside quiet waters. Before David speaks about fear, he speaks about rest. Before he describes God's presence in suffering, he celebrates God's faithfulness in everyday life.

In this message from our Songs of Summer series, we explore the story behind the beloved hymn I Need Thee Every Hour and discover why our relationship with Jesus is cultivated during seasons of peace so that we have Someone to lean on when the valleys come.

Whether you're walking through a difficult season or enjoying a time of peace, Psalm 23 reminds us that the Shepherd never changes.
