Welcome!Quiet Time is a special time that you set aside each day to read God’s Word and get to know Him better. It is also an important part of Olympians, a fun Bible-centered program for kids just like you in grades 1-6! CHALLENGERS (GRADES 1 & 2), CONQUERORS (GRADES 3 & 4), and CHAMPIONS (GRADES 5 & 6). Just like Olympic athletes train to be the very best they can be, your Olympians coaches will help train you to be the best you can be for Jesus!

The goal is to please Jesus in everything we say, do and think!

THAT IS WHAT OLYMPIANS

Quiet Time is a special time that you set aside each day to read God’s Word, to get to know Him better and to learn how He wants you to live. During this time, God speaks to you through His Holy Word, the Bible, and you speak to God through prayer. As a Christian, spending this time everyday is very important for you to grow closer to God.

The Quiet Time will help you have a special time each day with the Lord. This booklet is divided into two sections: 1) A Personal Prayer Diary where you can remind yourself to pray for people that you care about and things that are happening; and 2) Quiet Time Activities to go along with the Bible passage each day.

This Quiet Time and the Teen/Adult Quiet Time use the same Scriptures for the week. This makes it easier for your whole family to discuss the passages together.

God loves you and wants to spend time with you!

your daily Quiet time

1Psalms 51-56

PSALM 51:1-10

Now look at verse ten and write down two requests David asks God to bring about in his life:

1. “ in me a , O God.”

2. “ a within me.”

What do I need to confess to God as sin today?

What does God want to do in my life?

What words or phrases do you see in these verses that show that David was truly sorry to God for his sin? (In case you didn’t know, he had committed adultery, lied about it, and murdered a man!)

Have you ever done something wrong and then tried to cover it up? Read how David uncovered his terrible sin in our psalm today.

Do you ever keep a journal or diary where you write

down your thoughts and feelings — and then hope

nobody reads it? Well, many of the psalms in the

Bible are just that: diary entries from a shepherd-

king named David. Each psalm is a musical or

poetic prayer to God — written in all kinds of

circumstances. Do you have a little notebook

where you could write out YOUR prayers to

God? Try it!

family trial?

Maybe I need to ask God who to talk to about my problems.

How would you describe David’s feelings in these verses?

He was so upset, what did he wish he could do in verses 6-8?

When David was being bullied and hunted down by Saul’s men, he asked God to him by His (v. 1a). He wanted God to his (v. 2a) and to listen to his words of hurt.
