Use these Christian accountability questions for women at church or with accountability partners, asking the hard questions to deepen and grow in your faith.
We all have areas in our lives where we struggle. Whether it’s with food and weight loss, staying on track with our spouse and family, or just trying to keep a regular quiet time with God, the struggle is real.
Accountability can be a real asset in situations like these. By finding someone with whom we feel comfortable, we can allow ourselves to be vulnerable and honest with someone who has our best interests at heart.
This may be:
- close friend
- family member
- prayer partner
- small group
- accountability group
It may be helpful to find someone who has the same struggle you do or who used to have that struggle and is where you’d like to be.
The bottom line is that you want someone you can trust, who is open and honest, and who is willing to ask the hard questions. This will help you stay on track with your goals and continue to strive to become more consistent in each area that you’re working to improve.
Once you’ve found your person or group, set up a regular time weekly that you’d like to check in. This can be an in-person meeting or a phone call; just make sure you establish a regular time that works for both of you and stick to it.
Having someone hold you accountable doesn’t mean you won’t ever fail or “miss the mark.” We all have our days when we eat more than we should, spend more time on social media than with our families, and sleep in instead of reading our Bibles.
The idea of having an accountability partner is that you will have extra support in place to help you see more success in your struggles. Over time, there will be more good days than bad days, and you will be able to establish healthy patterns and habits.
Knowing what kind of questions to ask can help identify weak points in certain areas and help you understand underlying behavioral traits.
Another quality to look for in accountability is open-ended vs. closed-ended questions. You want questions that require more than a flat “yes” or “no” answer. Ask, or have your accountability partner ask, questions that will get you talking and thinking.
Also, don’t get overwhelmed with the number of accountability questions under each heading. Just pick out a few that you feel would help you the most. Don’t feel like you need all of them each week.
