Be shaped by Scripture

I don’t really understand how to connect with the Bible

I read God’s Word sometimes and find it helpful

I enjoy reading God’s Word every day because I get to know him better through it

I memorise verses that stand out to me

Connect through prayer

I only really pray to God when I’m anxious and need help

I thank God for the good things in my life

I bring everything to God in prayer because I want his will to be done in my life

I enjoy spending time in prayer with God just to be with him

Relate through fellowship

The only Christian I talk with about this stuff is the person going through this now with me

I go to church once in a while

I’m enjoying the Christian environments I find myself in. I can see the difference God is making in our lives together

There are Christians in my life who I consider close friends because of our shared love for Jesus

I’m still not sure that people need to have faith in Jesus to spend eternity with God

I know people need Christ in their lives, but I’m too scared to bring the subject up with them because of what they might think of me

I want everybody around me to know Christ and I want God to use me to reach them

I’m currently learning how to share my faith because I want to help reconcile people to God
