How are you doing?

It is so easy to say, “Hey, how’s it going?”  Unfortunately, many of us probably say it at times when we don’t really even want to know the answer, or we don’t really feel we have the time to listen.  But when said with sincerity, and when time is taken to listen to the response, great things can happen.  I’ve been wondering about asking myself the question, and inserting one more word:  “How’s it going spiritually?”  How does one go about answering such a question?  How would you answer that for yourself?   What questions would help you discover “how its going spiritually?” 

Make a list of at least 5-7 questions that would help you gauge your spiritual well-being, and come prepared to share your list with the group.

Honestly answer each of those questions for yourself. (You won’t be asked to share answers)

When people are sick there are a variety of things to do to get well:  rest, drink lots of water, eat chicken soup, take antibiotics, etc.  When/if you are ailing spiritually, what might help?  Take some time to read the Bible and pray for God’s specific prescription for you at this time.  Are there specific verses you need to memorize or meditate upon?  Any relationships you need to tend to?  Or any actions you need to take?

Read and Pray:  (you decide!)
