Follows a simple five-step format:
I. Become aware of God’s presence.
Review the events of the day, asking God to bring clarity to his presence.
II. Review the day with gratitude.
Walk through your day with God, focusing on the gifts, joys, and delights.
III. Pay attention to your emotions.
What feelings did you experience today; what is God saying through them? When today did you feel far from God? When did you feel close to God?
IV. Choose one feature from the day and pray from it.
Ask God to point you to something He finds important in your day, and pray from it.
V. Look toward tomorrow.
What feelings come up when you consider tomorrow? Seek God’s guidance.
By implementing spiritual discipline and a reflective practice like this, you can sift through the day’s events, lift up cumbersome or stressful things to God, and grow in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. When intentionally resetting after a day of active accumulation, we gain access to a meaningful finishing to our day.
