With the Lord's guidance

Let There Be Light

Simon Wester

Welcome to the Saturday Examen.

Today, we take a moment to reflect back on our week. Don’t worry if you haven’t prayed with us all week or can’t remember much! It is about asking the Holy Spirit to shed light on our time.

So, take a few moments to see the past week with the Lord’s guidance.

Prepare yourself for prayer by focussing on your breath…take a deep breath in…and then a releasing breath out. Notice how the change in breath brings stillness and an awareness of God’s presence. We might begin by asking for the wisdom that also weaves throughout the scripture for this week.

Is there a particular moment God is drawing you to remember? Notice what rises to the surface naturally… allow the moment to reveal itself …

Do you notice any challenges, lack of understanding or frustration? Allow these moments to be witnessed…

Where, in the prayer journey of the week, have you found an opening of the heart? Where have you been challenged, invited to transformation?

Is there something that calls you to action this week? Again, notice what arises naturally…

Look forward to the days to come, with a prayer of thanksgiving, asking for God's grace and guidance to carry the insights gained into each day.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be

World without end

Amen
