Confession
Crawl
At least once this week, use the Prayer of Examen as a template to reflect on your walk with Jesus:
For centuries, followers of Jesus have used the Prayer of Examen as a way of reflecting on their day. Set aside 15 minutes to use this guided model for prayer.
Replay | What happened today?
Rejoice | Where did I feel grace today? Where was God particularly present?
Repent | Where did I feel emotional pain today? Where did I sin?
Resolve | How can I live differently tomorrow?
Rest | Go to sleep with gratitude in your heart.
Walk
Share your experience using the Prayer of Examen with a trusted friend. Identify something God is teaching you and/or confess a failure or sin. Remind and encourage each other of the promise of 1 John 1:9.
Run
Identify a trusted person as an ongoing confidant in your life. Ask them about beginning a regular routine of meeting together to practice confession and the Prayer of Examen.
