More About This Activity

This printable coloring page focuses on Psalm 23:3 — “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” It offers children a creative, reflective activity to understand how God guides, restores and leads us — perfect for Sunday School, homeschool, children’s ministry or quiet faith time.

What’s inside

• Large and bold text of the key phrase: “HE LEADS ME IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Psalm 23:3” — easy for children to read and color.

• Illustration of a shepherd’s staff (or symbolic “path” design) with a winding path in front, showing the idea of being led along a safe and right route.

• Clean outlines and open spaces—children can choose colours for the path, the background rays, and the shepherd’s staff symbol.

• Enough space around the picture for embellishment, patterns, or for the child to add their own element (e.g., drawing a sheep, or writing one “path” they will follow this week).

Why it’s useful

• Reinforces Scripture memory and understanding: Psalm 23:3 highlights the idea of restoration (“He restores my soul”) and guidance (“He leads me”) along righteous paths.

• Encourages reflection and discussion: Children can explore what it means for God to restore us — maybe when we’re tired, sad, lost — and what “paths of righteousness” could look like in their life (kindness, honesty, helping others).

• Supports fine motor skills & creative expression: Coloring the page gives a hands-on task that promotes coordination, colour choice, and realization of a finished piece they can be proud of.

• Adaptable for different age groups:

  • Younger children can simply colour and repeat the verse aloud.

  • Older children can add a short note: “This week I will follow God’s path by…” and colour a segment of the path representing that.

• Suits both home and classroom settings: Use as part of a lesson about God’s shepherd-like care, or as a simple activity when you want a meaningful yet calm moment.

How to use it

1. Print the worksheet on standard A4 or US Letter size paper.

2. Introduce the verse: Read Psalm 23:3 together: “He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”

3. Colour time: Let children pick colours for the path, background rays, staff or shepherd symbol. Encourage them to think quietly about one “path of righteousness” they want to follow (for example: being kind, honest, helping someone).

4. Reflection/discussion: Ask questions like:

   • What does it mean for God to “restore my soul”? (When I feel sad, lost, tired?)

   • What do you think a “path of righteousness” means in your day-to-day life?

   • How can you follow that path this week?

5. Display or share: Once coloured, have children hang their pages in the classroom, on a fridge at home, or send home with children as a reminder of the verse.

6. Optional extension:

   • Have older children write below the picture one “action path” they will take this week (e.g., “I will help a friend who is sad”).

   • Use this sheet alongside a short talk about God as a shepherd guiding his sheep (see Psalm 23 as a whole).

   • Create a “path of righteousness” poster: children cut out segments of the path from their sheet, label them (kindness, truth, prayer, etc.), then glue them in order on a larger board.
