Prayer: We cry to you, God, from the deep places inside and in life. Hear us and lift us as we trust in you. May hope bring us to cries of Hosanna. Amen
Reading: Psalm 130 (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: “Out of the depths have I cried unto you”. These words have been set to music and are part of a Requiem by John Rutter. It can be accompanied either by cello or piano. I have played the piano arrangement and it is very somber. Beyond the depths and darkness and despair lies hope and light. God hears our prayers and He will lift us. That is His promise if we remain steadfast and put our life and trust in His Hands. Later in the Requiem we sing “Heaven and earth are full of Thy Glory. Hosanna!” -- Alice Yeakel
