Lenten Guided Prayer: Examen

Published: March 21, 2021, 3:03 p.m.

This week we will practice a form of prayer called the Examen. Throughout the centuries, people have discerned God’s direction for their lives through this practice. By sitting and attending to what we otherwise might miss in the busyness and chaos of our days, the Examen helps us to notice what is stirring within us and reflect upon what God is doing in our lives. When we recognize who God created us to be, we have the raw material for discerning His unique call and design for our lives.
