Questions for reflection on Sloth:

1. Do you remember a time when you encountered sloth in yourself, not merely as laziness, but as a weariness towards spiritual things?
2. Sloth can be disguised by frantic activity, but avoidance of of what God is calling you to. Is there something God is calling you to that you are avoiding?
3. To counter sloth consider adopting (or maintaining) a regular pattern of prayer and Bible reading, exercise, or doing small acts of kindness even if you don’t feel like it.
