Witness in Conduct: Living with kindness, punctuality, and reliability as a reflection of Christ’s character.
Family / Relationships
Intentional Love: Listening to spouse, children, or friends attentively, not just being distracted or self-focused.

Generosity: Setting aside time or money to help someone in need.
Evening
Reflection: Looking back over the day, asking, “Did I honor God with my thoughts, words, and actions?”

Gratitude: Thanking God for protection, provision, and opportunities.
Ongoing Submission (Throughout the Day)
Guarding Heart & Mind: Resisting temptation (lust, anger, envy, greed) by recalling Scripture and praying.
Submission in practice is making small daily choices of, “Not my will, but Yours, Lord”
