Prayer: Gracious God we call out to you. We ask that you comfort us and give us peace. We praise your holy name and we thank you for your love. We know you are with us and that there is hope. Amen
Reading: Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35 (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: As I write this devotion, we are still in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic and in a shelter at home order. I have been blessed that I still get to go to work every day and receive a paycheck. Praise be to God! I also do not have the struggle of helping school a child or children at home. Thank God! I also have been blessed with good health and my family is healthy. Blessed be the Lord! At this time, God is listening to our prayers of lament and praise. I have found that the Psalms are a great place to go to cry out to God and to praise God. We can also write our own. Just today I heard a great one on Facebook, and I would like to share the link with you as an inspiration and prayer.
