Prayer: O God, that you for being here, to save us from our worries about our looks, taking tests, the way we communicate our thoughts, and any other things that might make us worry. Thank you for letting us be how we are and not worry what we want or need. In your name we pray, Amen.
Reading: Matthew 6: 25-26 (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: We all worry about our looks, what we wear today, or whether we should go to the mall to buy new clothes. We all worry about what we will be eating for lunch or dinner. We all worry about what people are thinking when we’re speaking or writing. I worry all the time, like when playing the organ for church services and taking tests at school. My biggest worry is what I’m going to be “when I grow up.” T should not worry, but when I do worry I read these verses. It is easier said that done. But stop to pray, read the Bible, or talk to someone about your worries. Remember that Jesus is always with you. --Arthur Erickson
