How do we overcome feelings of need and lack?

Answered in 1 source

By trusting in Jesus, the Shepherd, who fulfills all our needs according to His riches in glory.

Feelings of need and lack can overwhelm us, but Psalm 23 reminds us that the Lord is our Shepherd. Through faith, we recognize that we are secure in Christ, who meets our needs according to His riches. The notion that we 'shall not want' is not because of our own strength, but because Christ knows what we need and provides it. When we focus on Him, we find rest and assurance. As we read in Ezekiel, God’s promise of a shepherd signifies His commitment to care for us, alleviating our fears and wants.
