Questions for Reflection

Individual / Group – Answer the following questions in a journal.

1. What areas do you particularly feel tempted to strive for perfection in? (For instance, work; family; homemaking; appearance.)

2. Are there any specific habits or things you do that induce you to take your eyes off God and start striving for perfection? (For instance, attempting to perform for your worth in your relationships; striving to achieve perfection at work as a way of gaining worth; living the Christian life by striving.)

3. How does knowing your righteousness in Jesus help you cease striving for your own? Think of specific mindsets, attitudes, and actions. 
4. How can you grow in the spiritual disciplines that will help you focus more on God and find rest in Him? Think of specific steps to spend more time with God in praise, intercession, and study of His word.
