Self-Reflection Questions:

What does a lukewarm person look like compared to a fully devoted Christ-follower? Create a chart of the qualities of each and how they differ from one another.
How can I listen to God and understand what He is saying to me today?
How can I ensure that I keep my promises to God? What promises have I broken to Him before?
How can I be a doer and not just a hearer? What do I need to do to succeed in my yes being yes and my no being no?
What sins have been ongoing in my life that have been detrimental in my spiritual walk/ relationship with the Lord?
How is God’s Word good for discipline, reproof, and correction? How have I seen/felt the Lord’s discipline?
Go to God in prayer to confess, repent, and ask for His support.
