Crazy Love Chapter 5 Homework

Once again, thanks to all of you for participating.
Here's your homework for chapter 5.
Have a great week!

Homework:
1) Look at last week’s prayer life and compare it to what you thought it “should” have looked like.


2) Write down what you believe your prayer life should look like for this coming week.


3) Spend 30 seconds at the beginning of each prayer listening to God.


4) Look at 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and personalize it. Take each of the phrases “Love is…” and substitute your name for the word “love.” Write down your thoughts about yourself and the personalized verses.

a.      ⁴[Your Name] is patient and kind;

b.      [Your Name] does not envy or boast;

c.       [He/She] is not arrogant ⁵or rude.

d.      [He/]She] does not insist on [His/Her] own way;

e.       [He/She] is not irritable or resentful

f.       ⁶[He/She] does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

g.      ⁷[Your Name] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

h.      [Your Name] never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

5) Write down some of the areas that you may be “lukewarm” or have been “lukewarm” in the past. How do you overcome apathy and increase your love for God. How can you protect yourself from falling into these lukewarm areas?


6) During one of your prayers, meditate on the following questions. Don’t answer quickly; just consider these things in God’s presence and do whatever business with God is necessary:

a.      Am I willing to say to God that He can have whatever He wants?

b.      Do I believe that wholehearted commitment to Him is more important that any other thing or person in my life?

c.       Do I believe that nothing I do in this life will ever matter unless it is about loving God and loving the people He has made?

7) Watch the videos for Chapter 6.
