Session X, Day 4

Are you feeling thoughtful and introspective today?  I hope so!  Today's assignment consists of two questions for you to think on.  As always if you have any insights you'd like to share, please post them on the discussion board.


ASSIGNMENT:
1.  In 4:7, Peter reminds his readers that they are to be clear minded and self-controlled.  Think about times when you did not practice self-control.  What is usually the first indication that we are not in control of ourselves?
2.  According to 4:7 it appears that clear mindedness and self-control are pre-requisites to prayer.  Why do you think this is so?
**You may recall that in 1 Peter 3:7 husbands are told to be considerate … with … wives so that nothing will hinder their prayers.  Just another "calling" to remind you of as you contemplate question #2.**
