The teacher becomes the student

This week at confirmation camp, I've invited our students to try their hand at writing. Today, we've been looking at lament psalms, and this is what they've written today:

Our world is dying,
people are not helping.
People are becoming poor
and no one puts a penny in their cup.

People should have the same rights!
Why separate someone becomes of their color or clique?

Fighting is not the answer.
Let the Lord help you!
The Lord will take you,
live your life well.

Stop the wars, O God, there is too much fighting in the world.

And some words of comfort:

The Lord will let you be with your loved ones,
you will be raised to heaven in time.
Be strong and don't give up,
let God take the lead.
He will always be there in the time of need,
never forsake or turn away from the Lord.
The Lord protects us,
we are his children.

And one more:

Do I do well, O Lord,
am I doing it right?
Talk to me and tell me yes,
your words are tried and true.

Tomorrow - Words of Wisdom! I can hardly wait.
