Self-Examination

Prayerfully and honestly ask yourself: Do I see any of these same traits in my own heart and behavior? Consider your thoughts, motivations, words, and actions over the past week. The goal is not condemnation — it is honest self-knowledge, which is the beginning of genuine growth.

"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts." — Psalm 139:23

Prepare Your Personal Prayer List

Below, write out the specific negative character traits you have identified in yourself — traits that please the devil but do not please God. Be specific and honest. This list becomes your prayer target for the coming week: intelligent, pointed prayers asking Jesus to help you overcome each one, combined with careful daily watching over your own heart and conduct.

My Personal Prayer & Watching List

Write the traits you want to bring before God in prayer this week. Return to this list daily — pray over each one specifically and watch carefully for opportunities to overcome them through Christ's strength.

Your list stays on your device only — nothing is submitted or stored.
