Spiritual refection involves contemplation and meditation
Meditate and contemplate the following scripture using the questions below as an
outline.
"MY STRUGGLE WITH DARKNESS"
Day one
Romans 7: 15-24
" I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but do the very
thing I hate"
" I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the
evil I do not want is what I do."
Is there an area of sinfulness or compulsive tendency that seems to have a hold
on me, or that I have a difficult time surrendering to God?
Can I surrender that area now? Can I ask God once more to redeem that darkness
within me?
