In Psalm 23:3 David declares, "The Lord restores my soul," but before he declared that Lord was the restorer of his soul, he declared that the Lord was his Shepard. David saw himself as belonging to the Lord as a sheep belongs to his Shepard. It is only when the Lord becomes our Shepard that this restorative work can take place. So we could rephrase it like this; When the Lord is my Shepard then He restores my soul.
Our souls include our mind, and our emotions, and our wills. Because we are born in sin our souls are are controlled by our flesh and the world. When we are born again by the Spirit of God our human spirit is quickened and the prosses of restoring the soul begins. It all starts with Jesus and receiving the free gift of salvation which includes healing of the soul. It is a work from the inside out.
