ACTION PLAN: Choose to take a spiritual bath. With a blank piece of paper and a pen, get alone with God. Begin by praying Psalm 139:23-24. Write down anything that comes to mind that you need to apologize for. Ask God if there is anything else, then wait for Him to speak. When there is nothing more, confess each sin individually. As you look at the list before you, agree with God that each sin you wrote down was wrong. After confession, write 1 John 1:9 across your list. Take that piece of paper, crumple it, and burn it up.

ACTION PLAN: Listen to "The Well" podcast, episode "Prayer of Examen" and walk through the exercise.

ACTION PLAN: Memorize Psalm 139:23-24.
