Spiritual Formation Questions
These Questions for Spiritual Development are to be asked in the context of a loving, supportive covenant relationship between two or three people. The covenant involves a commitment to weekly meetings for prayer and sharing about life in Christ. The goal is for "iron to sharpen iron" in our journey with Christ.
- How have you experienced God this week?
- How is God shaping you? How are you responding?
- How are your "spiritual eyes" forming to see the spiritual realities in every moment?
- For which pre-Christian(s) are you praying?
- What did God speak to you through the scriptures this week?
- How have you handled temptation this week?
- How have you been, and not been, and grown in being a "living epistle" for Christ in:
- Speech
- Thoughts
- Finances
- Use of Power
- Sexuality
- Other areas
- In your significant relationships, are you loving well?
- What are you battling to submit to God?
- What sin(s) do you wish to confess to me and thereby be set free from shame?
- How would you like me to agree with you in prayer?
