Step 5. Reconcile and resolve
This may sound daunting, but is actually freeing, satisfying, and brings hope to the heart. The final step is a heart-to-heart talk with Jesus. In this time, you share your thoughts regarding your actions, attitudes, feelings and interactions. You may be led to seek forgiveness, ask for direction, share a concern, express gratitude, etc. Take notes in your computer, laptop, notebook or journal. There may be some action being called for. Resolve with Jesus to move forward in action where appropriate. Finish with the Lord’s Prayer or something similar.

Write about your observations from your heart-to-heart
with Jesus into your computer, laptop, notebook or journal.

Discipleship Prayer

Thank Jesus for your talk and thank the Holy Spirit for His help along the way. Ask the Father for strength to accept and do whatever arose through the conversation, and if you didn’t already, finish out with the Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
Forever and ever. Amen.
