Reflect
The PATH is not a legalistic checklist, but a Spirit-led partnership with the Lord. The heart of the reflection process is to ask: “Are my steps of faith producing spiritual fruit?” This is a moment to pause, evaluate, and refocus your efforts to take the steps that grow your love for the Lord.
Questions for Reflection
The PATH is supposed to draw you to a life centered on Jesus and living out the Gospel. The heart of the reflection process is to ask: Are my steps of faith and obedience producing spiritual fruit? Some questions to process with God:
Has my love for God grown? Why or why not?
Has my love for others grown? Why or why not?
How have the steps of the PATH helped me center my life on Jesus and live out the Gospel?
Am I treating the steps or the practices like a checklist to get through? How can I make sure to take time to process what God is doing in my life?
Have I been disciplined to work on my relationship with God? How can I celebrate that or trust God to grow me in my discipline?
Has my spiritual life become stale or routine? How can I trust God to grow me in tremendous ways?
Have I been willing to be uncomfortable in my walk with God or am I holding back from growing in any area?
Has God felt distant lately? How can I acknowledge that and what step do I need to take to believe the truth that God is always with me?
Is there anything getting in the way of me growing in my relationship with God? How can I repent and move forward in that area?
What is something good God has done in my life that I can be thankful for?
Have I enjoyed my relationship with God? Have I recognized His love, grace, faithfulness, and holiness? Why or why not?
In the past few days/weeks/months, have I increasingly centered my life on Jesus? Why or why not?
In the past few days/weeks/months, have I increasingly lived out the Gospel? Why or why not?
