Spiritual Practices - Truth Telling
Adapted from: Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices that Transform Us, (Downers Grove: IVP Books, 2005).
Week of June 6th, 2021
Sometimes we need a reminder of how we grow closer to God. A different way to think about continually being shaped and molded by our Lord. For the next five weeks, we will be inviting you to think of the ways different practices impact your relationship with God. Some may come naturally to you or are things you already do, perhaps take time to thoughtfully consider what they mean to you. Some practices may be new, give them a try and see if they are a fit for this season of your life. Let us bring our hearts and lives before the Lord!
Scripture for the week: Psalm 13
What does it mean to be honest with God?
How do you minimize your emotions when you come before God?
How is your prayer life one of integrity?
Spiritual Practice: Truth Telling
Reflect upon your prayer life with God - are you honest about what you are thinking and feeling? What do you try to hide from God? Why do you approach God in this manner?
Repent of times you have lied to God or others.
When you catch yourself slandering others or engaging in gossip - stop and repent.
Additional Scriptures to Meditate On:
Matthew 5:37
James 3: 5-10
Proverbs 12: 19-22
