Prayer: O God, be gracious and hear my prayer. Slow me down and quiet my heart to ponder your love for me and my trust in you. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 4 (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: Ponder. Such a plain and simple word. But it is something we do not do enough of. Sometimes, when a major decision needs to be made, we say, “Let’s sleep on it.” In a word: Ponder. When our children were all at home, I made a 2-sided sign that read: SLOW DOWN and QUIET ZONE. Ponder. It is important to slow down. It is important to quiet your heart. Perhaps make a sign to remind you. --Alice Yeakel
