New Year's resolutions

It's not too late to consider how you might seek to improve your life this coming year. I find it helpful to chart out some goals for a New Year, and I found the following questions helpful. Justin Childers brought these to my attention and he shares that most of these come from Don Whitney's website:

10 Questions to Ask Yourself at the Start of the New Year

1. What is one thing I could do this year to increase my enjoyment of God?

2. What is the most humanly impossible thing I will ask God to do this year?

3. In which spiritual discipline do I most want to make progress in this year, and what will I do about it?

4. What is the single biggest time-waster in my life, and how will I change to make the most of my time?

5. What can I do this year to strengthen my church?

6. For whose salvation will I pray most fervently for this year?

7. What one thing could I do to improve my prayer life this year?

8. What thing that I plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In eternity?

9. What sin do I want to avoid this year, and what steps will I take to avoid it?

10. How can I be a better husband/wife/father/mother/son/daughter this year?


BONUS Question: What person(s) do I need to share my answers to these questions with in order to keep me accountable?
