Do you believe you have a two-way relationship with God? Meditate on what that means and what it looks like in your life.
Do you trust God with the future? Not necessarily your hopes and dreams and security but that there is hope in a future with God?
Do you have a Samuel in your life – someone who can call you out and speak truth into your life? Are you that Samuel for someone else?
