• Identity

• Where have I settled for a smaller identity than Child of God?

• Where am I trying to earn approval instead of resting in God's acceptance?

• Beliefs

• Where am I trusting my feeling over what God has said?

• What truth from God's word do I need to take hold of right now?

• Standards

• Where have my choices not reflected God's love?

• What habits or patterns are limiting what God made for me for? 

Application

Read Psalm 23:3 and prayerfully ask, "where does my soul need a reset?" Write down where you sense God is leading you in this new year.
