Looking Over Your Day

Many productivity experts recommend ending each work day by looking over the day that just ended and making a plan for the next one. Such a step can help with one's spiritual life as well. 

Where was God in your day today? One means of seeing God's movement in your life is to make a regular practice of taking the time before bed to look over your day. God is there in the details of our everyday existence.

What were the highs and lows, the positives and negatives? What left you feeling confused? What things do you need to tell God you are sorry for? What should you say "Thank you" for? Bring your concerns to God. Ask for clarity and the wisdom to make good decisions. Pray for those you came in contact with. Pray for situations that concern you. Rest easy knowing that you have turned the fruit of your day over to God.

    Patrice,

    Thanks for the great reminder.  I am good about praying in the moring and throughout the day, but this is a neglected aspect of my prayer life.  I will say a prayer of thanksgiving for you before I go to bed tonight!
