Reflection Guide for Running with Blinders

Think over the last few months of your life. Have you been living in survival mode?  Have you been driven by urgent demands or attempts to catch up from procrastination?

Take an objective look at your spiritual life during this same time frame.  Have you been running on empty in your spiritual life?  Remember, exhaustion and apathy are symptoms of spiritual famine regardless of how many spiritual routines or actions you have done.  Make an honest evaluation of your current spiritual depth and growth.

What is holding you back from connecting more deeply with the Lord; from meditation, meaningful seasons of prayer and actively seeking a fresh look at Jesus?

What changes do you need to make?  How might you better live out the priorities of your life in practical ways?
