Spend time in self- examination every day, and perhaps journaling – if this will help you focus your thoughts.
• In what areas of my life have I shown hardness of heart towards God, or coldness of heart towards others?
• Why do I get so defensive? Why can’t I take criticism better? Why do I live or die upon another’s approval of me?
• How is my appetite for the scriptures? Can I say with the psalmist that God’s word is more to be desired than gold, even much finer than gold?
• In what ways do materialism and the desire for new things have a stronghold in my life?
• Why do I find it so hard to pray? Why do I only pray when I either feel guilty or have exhausted all my other options?
• Who can I approach to give me honest feedback about the way others experience me? Do I even want this kind of feedback?
• Is there someone to whom I need to seek forgiveness?
• Where and to what extent do I see the fruit of the spirit in my life? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control.
Think of this season as a time of renewal and refocusing on your relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Simply be intentional in seeking God’s face.
Turn, repent, rest and rejoice. Remember the Lord Jesus came for us, and for our salvation.
