One Month to Live - Week 1 - Love Passionately

Things to Help You Take Action:

1- If you were certain your life as you know it would end in a few weeks, what would be your biggest regret? Why?

2-In what area of your life are you suffering from the Someday Syndrome? Make a decision today never again to use the phrase “someday, when things settle down.” Realize that today is your someday!

3-How are you doing in the areas of communication and confession? How would you practice them differently if you only had one month to live?

4-When have you been disappointed by God? How did He not come through for you the way you wanted Him to? How did this affect your relationship with Him? How can you exercise trust in Him as your loving Father even when you feel disappointed? Spend sometime in prayer this week relating your disappointment and asking Him to help you trust Him more fully.

5-Write a letter or prayer to God, being as honest as you can about your present disappointments and frustrations. Consider how these problems or issues might be preparing you for a more fruitful season.

6-Write down one risk that you believe God is calling you to take presently in your life. Describe your fears about taking this risk. Describe the worst-case scenario if you take this risk and fail. Pray that God will help you face your fears so you can do what He wants.

7-Write down a description of a dream you have that you believe is from God. How has it “floated to the top” in your life? How does it require faith on your part for it to be realized? How does it serve others?

8-Spend time in prayer, asking God to reveal one thing you can do this week to further your pursuit of His dream for your life.

9-Make a list of all the things you can think of that prevent you from fully trusting God with your life: past disappointments and hurts, losses, doubts, and so on. After you finish, ask your self what it would take for you to trust that somehow God can use each of them to fulfill His purpose in who He made you to be. Spend a minute in prayer for each item, and ask for help in releasing it.
