“Today the heart of God is an open wound of 
love. He aches over our distance and 
preoccupation. He mourns that we do not 
draw near to him. He grieves that we have 
forgotten him. He weeps over our obsession 
with muchness and manyness. He longs for 
our presence.” - Richard Foster
Are you projecting your own attitudes and 
feelings of yourself onto God? 
Who is (INSERT YOUR NAME?) 
What is your identity? 
Do I believe that God, heaven and eternity 
are real? 
What habits do I not want to take into 
eternity?
Do I really buy into this? 
What am I here for? 
What is this human experiment for? 
How often do I sit still in silence and rest in 
God’s presence? 
When I pray do I imagine myself at the feet 
of Jesus?
Are you willing to face persecution for what 
you believe? Is God really first in your life? 
Do you want him to be? 
Change is not given in human strength but it 
is founded by God through the movement of 
the Holy Spirit. 
Change begins on our knees…by allowing 
God to accompany us to our wounds, he will 
go with us but we must give him the 
emotions related to the wound…
