Keep testing whether you are in the faith, keep proving what you yourselves are.—2 Cor. 13:5.

By being “on fire with the Spirit,” we can demonstrate increased boldness in our house-to-house ministry and when witnessing informally. (Rom. 12:11, The Bible—An American Translation) What if we have lost our zeal for the ministry or our fervor for it is not what it used to be? Then an honest self-examination is in order. Ask yourself: ‘Am I still aglow with the spirit? Do I pray to Jehovah for his spirit? Do my prayers show that I rely upon him to do his will? Do they contain words of appreciation for the ministry entrusted to us? How are my personal study habits? How much time do I take to meditate on what I read and hear? How involved am I in congregation meetings?’ Reflecting on questions such as these can help you identify areas of weakness and take corrective measures. w10 2/15 1:14, 16
