What did you learn or think about the most this week from our theme “Psalms teach us to say, “Forgive me, Lord”. Was there a phrase from a Psalm that stood out? When did you stop this week to ask God for forgiveness? Respond with at least 5 complete sentences. I thought about how our world is broken, nothing is right. It makes me sad to think that there is still war, death and discrimination. All because of sin. I also thought about how I am broken , I am not perfect. I do so much wrong and it makes me feel guilty. But He forgives me. No but there was a frase in the song ¨Forgive Us”By The Many, that stood out to me. ¨We know not what we do¨ It’s so true! We have no idea what we do and most of the time we don’t care (No Ofense) But if we take the time to think about it we do so much wrong. And that makes me sadder. When I pray at night and the day catches up to me is when I ask for forgiveness because I realize how much wrong I can do in one day.
With forgiveness comes repentance. To “repent” literally means to change directions. After we ask forgiveness, receiving God’s grace can cause us to want to act differently than before–to repent. Tell a story about a time when you acted differently after asking for forgiveness. OR tell about something that you would like to do differently in order to better reflect God’s love. What happened? How did you feel? Use at least 5 complete sentences. One time I felt guilty for something so small it probably wasn’t even worth while. But my guilt and worry was to much for me. Finally I told my dad and cried. He said I shouldn’t worry because it was an accident and I didn’t mean to. My body felt lighter after that and it felt like load was taken off. I was holding on to that for a long time and just having it gone made me feel like I could be more happy and spread joy like usual.
Tell a story about something creative that you did this week. What happened? Who was a part of making it happen? Use at least 5 complete sentences. My brother wanted to make a LEGO Minecraft treehouse. He was nagging me about it on and on and finally I gave in. It did sound fun and he let me make it. So we have half of a tree house that sits on two big tree trunks, a waterfall and a newly designed lego room! We also cleaned up, I was trying to stall! 🙂
