We were given this list of accountability questions in my freshman year LG and I find them really helpful to keep myself accountable, especially because a lot of them are things that I honestly wouldn't talk about with other people that often. Journalling through one a day or even a few a week can also just be a good way to get started in reflection if you're like me and sometimes find yourself just totally unfocused. Some of the wording is a little old-fashioned, but the essence is good. haha
1. Have you been a testimony this week to the greatness of Jesus Christ with both your words and actions?
2. Have you been exposed to sexually alluring material or allowed your mind to entertain inappropriate thoughts about someone who is not your spouse this week?
3. Have you lacked any integrity in your financial dealings this week, or coveted something that does not belong to you?
4. Have you been honoring, understanding, and generous in your important relationships this past week?
5. Have you damaged another person by your words, either behind their back or face-to-face?
6. Have you given in to an addictive behavior this week? Explain.
7. Have you continued to remain angry toward another?
8. Have you secretly wished for another's misfortune so that you might excel?
9. Did you finish your reading this week and hear from the Lord? What are you going to do about it?
10. Have you been completely honest with me? (meant for LCG pair...but you can use it to mean God too...)
11. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
12. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
13. Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told me in confidence? Can I be trusted?
14. Am I slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?
15. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
16. Did the Bible live in me today?
17. Do I give the Bible time to speak to me every day?
18. Am I enjoying prayer?
19. When did I last speak to someone about my faith?
20. Do I pray about the money I spend?
21. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
22. Do I disobey God in anything?
23. Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
24. Am I defeated in any part of my life?
25. Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy, or distrustful?
26. How do I spend my spare time?
27. Am I proud?
28. Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold resentment toward, or disregard? If so, what am I going to do about it?
29. Do I grumble and complain constantly?
30. Is Christ real to me?
31. Have you experienced God in your life this week?
32. What is God teaching you?
33. How are you responding to his prompting?
34. What sin do you need to confess?
35. How did you do with your reading this week?
