Look to Tomorrow
The Examen ends with a look at the day to come. Just as God is with you today, God will be with you as you sleep and when you wake up tomorrow. Invite God to be a part of your future. What do you need God’s help with? Be very practical and specific. If it’s helpful, look at your schedule for tomorrow. God wants to be there with you, in the most dramatic and mundane moments of your life. Ask God to give you the grace you need—for example, courage, confidence, wisdom, patience, determination, or peace. Or perhaps there is someone you would like to pray for by name.
The Grace I Seek
I pray for the following graces: wonder at God’s ongoing creation; gratitude for the gift of God creating me and creating the world.
Read
Read Luke 11:1–13.
Invite God to be a part of your future. What do you need God’s help with?
This was a hard weekend. Mostly because nothing happened except that K was sick in bed and felt miserable. I coaxed him out once to sit on the porch steps in the sun...that was it. The dr. he saw last week said he probably either has staph or strep. Whatever it is, causes him to feel like flu, achy all over, and a bad throat.
I need God's help with not being in control of this, because clearly I am NOT in control of this. Or else I would have fixed it.
God, help. I need help.
