Ordinary time · Stilling Waves Bible

1 Peter 5

Read 1 Peter 5 slowly, once or twice. Then sit with this:

Peter invites you to hand your worries to a God who cares. Name each worry slowly, and place it in his strong, gentle hands.

Three questions for the group

1. Read 1 Peter 5 aloud, slowly. Which word or phrase stays with you?
2. Who near you carries a weight you could help with?
3. What would it look like to lead or serve without lording it over anyone?

Questions 2 and 3 are personal: share only what you want to share.

Close with a minute of silence, then pray in your own words.
