Youth Bible Reading 8/1
Participants: Kanami, Seiyu, Hiyori, Ko, Akari
Time: 9:00 AM
We read Psalm 31.
Hiyori shared that verse 21 stood out to her the most. Like David, she wants to continue having a close relationship with God where she can talk to him at any time. Regarding her week, she shared that she’s been preparing for her upcoming finals and projects, as next week is her last week of summer school.
Akari shared that verse 5 stood out to her the most, as she realized that both Jesus and Stephen quoted this verse. She also learned that God shows mercy to those who stay true to him.
Kanami learned that David knew he needed help from God and trusted that God would deliver him.
Ko shared that from today’s chapter, he sensed David’s desperation and could relate to it, especially from when he was really sick. He shared that through his sickness, his relationship with God deepened, and he wants to always put his trust in God and make positive confessions.
I shared that it is good to be vulnerable before God and bring our weaknesses to him, as that enables him to strengthen and lift us up.
Akari prayed for the upcoming camp, that we prepare with open hearts and seek God’s guidance (Ephesians 4:3–4). We prayed in tongues afterward.
Ko prayed for the upcoming piano concert, asking for guidance and unity (Proverbs 16:3). We prayed in tongues afterward.
