About this Bible story

Psalm 23:1 reminds us, 'The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.' This beautiful story teaches kids how God cares for us. It’s a comforting lesson for my Sunday school class, and the illustrations are perfect for helping my students visualize this important truth.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

Psalm 23:1 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

Encourage kids to think about what it means to have God as their shepherd as they color. Ask them, 'What do you think it feels like to be cared for by God?' Highlight the moment when the shepherd leads the sheep to safety, connecting it to their own experiences of feeling safe and loved. Have some extra crayons on hand to keep things fun and engaging.
