Prayer: God, it’s amazing to think that you know each of us personally and that you have a plan that is unique for each of us. Continue to watch over us each day. Amen.
Reading: Jeremiah 29: 11-13 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: This is one of my favorite Bible passages. It’s a pretty powerful concept to think that God has a plan for our lives, that he’s so personal. It’s amazing to think that out of all seven billion people in the world, God has a plan for each of our lives. When life gets crazy, I find peace in this passage just by meditating over it and reminding myself that although I might think failing a major exam would seem like the end of the world, it’s far from it. All of a sudden, my major “catastrophe” is simply a slight road bump in the scheme of life. When life gets overwhelming turn to this passage and remember that God has a plan for each of us. God knows about you and nothing else matters! --Maria Kuba
