Sunday Examen

Sunday Examen
Take some time today to reflect over the past week and look for "God Moments."  Where have you seen God this week?  How have you responded to His love and call this week?

You may choose to pray the following prayer in silence before God, waiting and listening for His voice.

1. God, I believe at this moment I am in your presence, and you are loving me.

2. God, you know my needs better than I know them. Give me your light and help to see how you have been with me throughout this week and will be forever with me.

3. God, help me be grateful for the moments when people have both affirmed me and challenged me. Help me to see how I have responded, and whether I have been kind to others and open to growth.

4. God, forgive me for when I have not done my best or treated others well. Encourage me and change my heart to always seek your will. Teach me to lay down my will for yours.

5. Conclude with the Lord’s Prayer

Reflect on the Grace Discipleship Plan
  • Read Grace Everyday
  • Pray
Monday:
Needs of others, hungry, oppressed
Tuesday:
Thanksgiving & Praise
Wednesday
Lost – Those you know and those you don’t know
Thursday
Unity in the Church
Friday
Grace Church Leaders

  • Study a gospel.  Ask these questions:

  1. What truth is revealed in the passage?
  2. What does the passage reveal about my spiritual life?
  3. What does the passage teach you about how to act or respond?

For tips on reading the gospels refer to these earlier posts: HERE and HERE. 


I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
(Psalms 108:3-4 NRSV)
