Reflections and Resolutions 2013

Hi all,

Its the last Sunday of the year. I am guessing its a good time to MAKE(FORCE) the youths think and reflect about the past year and new resolutions they want to make for the new year ahead.

Reflections

1. Relationship with God

Thanksgiving (Faithful God, Schoolwork, Family etc.)
QT?
Prayer plays an important role in communicating with God
Grown in maturity?
Any sin hindering the blessings from flowing?

2. Relationships/Friendships

Confessions
Grudges
Hatred
Disrespect / Dishonoring parents
Bullied/ Mistreated
etc...

Thank God for being a merciful and gracious God. Pray that God will continue to empower you and fill you up with the Holy Spirit.

Pray for God's strength to forgive and let go. If bullied or mistreated, remember that God will judge them when the time comes. We are not in the position to judge them (Romans 2:1-3 , James 4:11-12).


Pray and ask for forgiveness from God and from your parents/ friends if you have wronged them in any way. Repent from your wicked ways.

3. School (not that impt i think)

Anything to share? Up to you all

Resolutions (Yesss..this is the serious and most sian part but try to not make it so sian)

Pen it down. Pin it up somewhere..

Can use the same 3 headers as reflections.
(Point 1 is the most impt) -- Make the youths make a pact with God on the various things they wanna improve in this area. We as leaders can be their accountable to them and encourage them along the way.

Pray for God's strength to remain disciplined in changing for the better. Definitely there will be times where we may stumble but just know that God will never leave you nor forsake you. He will always be there in times of trials and tribulations.

Pray for the new phase in life too..moving on to JC, Poly or maybe sec 5..
