Looking Back for God

It's the end of the year, and you may be spending a little time looking back to see what kind of terrain you've been hiking over for the past 12 months. Where have you been? Where was God? What was your journey like? Here are a handful of questions that may help you reflect. We would love to have your comments if you'd like to tell a trail story or two.

Q: What is the most important lesson God allowed you to learn this year? How did/are you learn(ing) it?

Q: Has there been a scripture (or biblical story) that has been bothering you this year? One that has comforted you or that you keep coming back to again and again?

Q: What phrase would you use to describe your life with God right now? How is that different from what you would have said a year ago?

Q: What was the most challenging situation you encountered this year? How did you see God show up in it?

Q: What was the highlight of your year? What did it teach you about God?

Q: Is there a request you’ve found yourself praying over and over again this year?

Q: What new opportunities has God given you last year?

Q: What spiritual discipline/practice/habit has meant the most to you this year?
