10 Questions to Ask Yourself at the Start of a New Year

So many times we can go about our day and not take the time to “consider our ways” (Haggai 1:5).  Donald Whitney has shared 10 Questions to help you to pause and ponder the direction your life is going.

These are great questions to print out and tuck in your Bible for your own personal time of reflection or good discussion questions to work through together as a couple or family.

I have this list of questions tucked away in my Bible and pull them out several times a year to take inventory of my spiritual life.

I need to make plans and set goals or my spiritual life would remain stagnant. Print out the list and keep it handy when you have a moment to ponder, plan and pray. Don’t forget we are dependent on the Lord for any change (John 15:5)

Below are 10 Questions to Ask Yourself at the Start of a New Year:  (excerpt below taken from 10 Questions to Ask at the Start of a New Year or On Your Birthday)
