10 Questions To Ask In The New Year

At the end of December, Justin Taylor posted this on his blog. It's by Don Whitney and I thought it was really good and wanted to share it with you.

It was a blog on 10 questions to ask yourself in the New Year. Jarrett and I are driving down to St. Louis tomorrow so I'm hoping that during the driving time while the kids are napping we can discuss some of these! I also plan to write them down in my journal and reflect on some.

I have good intentions this year to blog more about what the Lord is doing in my life and in our family's life... pray that for me that I am a doer of that intention!

I love you all and pray this first week and a half of the New Year has been great for you. May the Lord meet you where you are and may you be refreshed by His presence!

Below you will find the 10 questions.

The beginning of a new year is an ideal time to stop, look up, and get our bearings. To that end, here are some questions to ask prayerfully in the presence of God.

1. What’s one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?
2. What’s the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year?
3. What’s the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your family life this year?
4. In which spiritual discipline do you most want to make progress this year, and what will you do about it?
5. What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?
6. What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?
7. For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?
8. What’s the most important way you will, by God’s grace, try to make this year different from last year?
9. What one thing could you do to improve your prayer life this year?
10. What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In eternity?

Much Love,
