prayer of examen

 1. Thanksgiving: What am I especially thankful for today?

2. Petition: I'm about to review my day. I ask for the light to know God and to know myself as God sees me. 

3. Review:

- Where have I felt true joy today?

- What has troubled me today?

- What has challenged me today?

- Where and when have I paused today?

- Have I noticed God's presence in any of this?

4. In light of my review, what is my response to the God of my life?

5. Look ahead:

- As I look ahead, what comes to mind?

- With what spirit do I want to enter tomorrow?
