Do you believe that you have entered into a season of mid-life questioning? What discoveries or emotions have surfaced?
In what way is your spouse involved in this process with you?
What expectations for your life have not worked out for you?
Do you have children—adult or still living at home? How have you seen God working in them?
What big decisions have you made recently and how did you make those decisions? What have been the results?
Where would you say you have been looking for meaning, satisfaction, and contentment?
How much time do you spend thinking about the past?
Are there any mistakes you’ve made in the past that you sense a need to revisit and perhaps make right? Any areas where you need to seek forgiveness from someone?
Do you realize and believe that God can even use your mistakes for His glory and for your good? (John 18:15-18,25-27; 21:15-19)
I believe the most important relationship in your life is the one you have with Jesus Christ. Can you tell me what that means in your life?
If you were to go back and change anything that you’ve done, what would that be? What would you do differently?
Can you tell me a little more about what you believe about God?
Can you tell me a little more about your relationship with God? Looking back, have there been times where He has been especially meaningful in your life… where you knew He was carrying you? How have you seen God’s hand?
Can we talk about how to maintain a relationship with God as your “first love?” (Revelation 2:4-5) Do you have that?
Would you mind reflecting a little more on the important relationships in your life? Which ones have stood the test of time? Why do you think they lasted this long? Any ones you wish were still active? Why did they stop?
Have you really taken the time to wrestle through your regrets and turn those over to God? Have you experienced His forgiveness and a new start? If not, would you like help doing that?
Can you tell me about some of the things you are most looking forward to in the second half of life?
What is the best way that I can encourage you and pray for you right now? Are there any issues that you are especially interested in discussing and seeking God’s wisdom for together?
