The Weekly Prayer of Examen
The weekly examen is a prayerful reflection on the events of the week used to discover God's presence and discern His direction for us. As you enter God's presence, take a moment to allow the Spirit to bring to mind the week past and the journey you've been on, both in prayer and in everyday life. As you pray, consider writing down what you sense God may be saying to you during this time.

Following Jesus Christ is about becoming fully alive in Christ. It is not about settling for less than we hoped; it is about longing for more—living and praying our way through all the ways we may have settled in the past until we see the truth. In its longing for fullness of being, it is “like the sun warming a seed into life, like the work of clearing away rocks and weeds, and bringing water to the interior garden. Like those seeds, we may need to allow God to love our shallow selves by naming even our disordered longings in God’s presence until, by God’s grace, the deepest desire is revealed. Only then will God’s own soil, watering and light reveal the interior garden where God’s Word seeks to produce new life and new fruit.
