Growing in Grace

I need to develop godly attitudes.

A) Pray for godly attitudes in general & certain attitudes in particular.

B) Ask others to pray the same thing for you.

C) Repeat the attitude to help it sink in. Do this in conjunction with A & B!

Attitudes.

1. The Lord never desires that you sin. He desires that you turn from sin, to Him, and live.

2. Sin (as taught by the Bible) never leads to life. It leads to death.

3. There is no true wisdom without listening well to God’s word written.

I need to grow in prayer.

A great way to do this is to learn to pray the Bible. Pray this prayer until you can pray without reading:

A prayer based on John 14:6 and James 1:19-22

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Way, and the Truth, and the Life, no one can come to the Father except through You. Please help me to hear Your word written, receive it, and do it, so that I will be delivered from all deception, and be blessed by You to thrive as You intend. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I need to get God’s word in my mind and heart.

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

James 1:22 (ESV)

I need to do something or start to do something.

Complete the following sentence: “In light of God’s word, the Holy Spirit is leading me to __________________________.”
