Reflections: Use the following questions to reflect upon and pray over the three parts of 1 Peter 1:13

1. Preparing for action.

   • Where are you unprepared? Is there something specific or a whole area of your life where you are living on borrowed time?

2. Being sober minded.

   • What is it in your past that haunts you and hunts you?

   • What is one thing that you have chosen to live in denial verses dealing with a present reality?

3. Setting your hope upon the revelation of Jesus Christ.

   • What is it in your future that you most deeply hope for?

   • Where have your expectations been misplaced?

   • Where have you misplaced your happiness and contentment?
