DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

 

Am I prone to isolation?

  • Am I happiest when I’m alone?

  • Is anyone truly on my “inner” circle of friends?

  • Do I keep people at a distance to protect myself?

  • Do I use sports or video games to escape my leadership duties as husband and father?

  • Can I articulate my emotions clearly to my wife and kids?

  • Do I compartmentalize difficult areas of my life to avoid thinking about them or having to reconcile them?

  • Am I emotionally distancing myself from my wife?


Do I need fresh perspective?

  • Am I stuck in the same routine day after day with no end in sight?

  • Am I leading my family spiritually?

  • Do I spend quality time talking to my wife, giving her freedom to speak truth and hold me accountable?

  • Would I know my blind spots if asked to identify them?

  • Can I see the forest through the trees considering the spiritual health of my marriage and family?

  • Do I even recognize the man I have become since my wedding day?

  • Are my attitudes increasingly becoming negative, angry and frustrated over time?


Do I need to stop and ask for directions?

  • Do I know my life’s purpose?

  • Are past mistakes holding me back from moving forward in my life?

  • Do I know how to spiritually lead my family as head of my home?

  • Have I surrendered my life to God’s authority or am I living independently?

  • Is my marriage lukewarm at best?

  • Do I even know how to talk to or relate to my children?

  • Am I trying to force my will rather than submit to God’s will for my life and marriage?


Are big decisions overwhelming me?

  • Is my marriage struggling or on the brink of divorce?

  • Am I satisfied with my day job or should I be looking for another?

  • Am I struggling financially to make ends meet?

  • What sins do I need help overcoming?

  • Are health concerns forcing my family to make significant life changes that will be difficult to overcome?

  • Am I struggling to shut my mind off at night?

  • Am I afraid of what the future holds?
