Set
aside some time for reflection and use one of these questions as a
guide in helping you discern a next step in your journey as a
Christ-follower.
What decisions (big
or small) are you facing right now? Read James 1:5. Ask God to guide
you with His wisdom in those decisions. As you quiet in your heart and
listen, what steps do you sense the Holy Spirit prompting you to take?
Who
are the people that have been on your mind the most lately? Ask God to
show you if He is putting these people on your mind for a specific
reason. Is there something He is prompting you to do for these people?
What
have you heard recently (at a service, in your own studies, through the
Big Idea or in conversation that has really stuck out in your mind? Why
do you think the Holy Spirit wanted that thing to stick out to you?
What step is God prompting you to take in response?
Read 1 John 1:9-10. Spend some time searching your heart. Ask God to show you any unconfessed sin in your life. Confess that sin to God and think about the steps you need to take to be released from the bondage of that sin.
Ask God to bring to your mind a command from Scripture that He wants you to pay attention to (look through Matthew 5-7 for inspiration). What steps do you need to take to live in obedience to this command?
