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. Doubting what is trustworthy is not wisdom.

2. Coming to grips with good questions is part of godly wisdom and godly faith.

3. It is not wise but foolish, to live each day as if the Triune God is not real, present and powerful.

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 James 1:2-8

Almighty, ever-giving, and generous God; You know how easy it is for me to be in two-minds and doubt. I believe in Your Son! He is my Saviour and Lord. Help my unbelief. Deliver me from foolishness. Grow in me wisdom from You, so that I will face the trials and temptations of life well; trusting You to grow me in godly maturity. In Jesus Name. Amen. 

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

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”

James 1:12 (NIV)

I need to do something or start to do something.
