Spiritual Grit Assessment

All of us face challenges and difficulties and hurdles in life. And all of us have a wide range of reactions to the challenges we encounter in life. So, answer the following questions as honestly as you can—there are no “right answers.” As you answer, think about how you compare to most people.

Question Title

When things are going good in my life, I tend to have positive feelings about God—when things are going bad, I tend to have negative feelings about God.

Question Title

If I’m hoping or praying for something in my life, and it doesn’t happen, I sometimes wonder if God really cares about me.

Question Title

I tend to gravitate to groups and experiences that challenge me to grow deeper in my relationship with God, even if they involve sacrifice.

Question Title

I would describe my relationship with Jesus as “all-in”—it doesn’t really matter much what happens to me in life, because I know He loves me and I love Him.

Question Title

When I pray for something, and I feel like God is “silent,” I can get discouraged.

Question Title

When I’m doubting myself, I tend to also doubt God.

Question Title

I would say I’m more committed to Jesus because of who He is, not so much because of how He comes through for me when I need Him.

Question Title

When I read what Paul wrote in Romans 8—“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love”—I think others who know me would say I live my life by this truth.

Question Title

We naturally avoid hardship whenever we can. But I’m the sort of person who actually embraces hardship, depending on Jesus for my strength.

Question Title

When I’m in a tough place, or facing a challenge, I tend to first rely on my own “natural strengths” before I will turn to Jesus for help.

Question Title

In my everyday life, I see a direct connection between my passion for Jesus and my ability to persevere through challenges and hardships.

Question Title

Paul said, “In my weakness, I am strong.” But the truth is, when I am feeling weak, I don’t always feel like I find strength in my relationship with Jesus.
