A prayer for when the bottom drops out — this week at ELC

June 16, 2017 by john

Psalm 13This week’s Psalm is a cry for help.  These psalms give expression to the deepest moments of human pain. But they do so in a way which claims the promise of God’s presence in the midst of our suffering and also the promise that the God-who-is-with-us will preserve us from evil and bring us to a new day.

Worship this week with Holy Communion

Saturday  5:00 p.m.  in the chapel

Sunday  8:30 a.m.  Traditional Worship

10:00 a.m.  Contemporary Worship

Devotions for this week:

Psalm 13                                                                      June 18, 2017

 SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding

Sunday, Psalm 13

Monday, Psalm 3

Tuesday, Psalm 51

Wednesday, Psalm 69

Thursday, Psalm 90

Friday, Psalm 102

Saturday, Psalm 140

 TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? (Psalm 13:1)

  • We come to God in times of suffering, seeking relief, seeking light, seeking answers. And God hears it all, without judging or abandoning us.
  • Tell of a time you had to trust someone, even though it was hard. How did it turn out?
  • What makes trusting difficult?
  • What makes trusting rewarding?
  • Wonder: Does God trust me? Why or why not?
  • Keep a photo journal this week of all the places you see God. Post the photos to your social media, #GodSightings.

 PRAY:  Holy Lord, all things come from you, and all things might be found in you. Open our eyes, O God, that we might know your presence and trust once more in your steadfast love. Amen.

 BLESS:  May God show God’s trustworthiness to you. Amen.
