The Daily Examen is a short, end-of-day prayer that helps you notice God’s presence and your responses. It takes five movements: (1) Gratitude—thank God for specific gifts. (2) Guidance—ask the Spirit to illuminate the day. (3) Review—walk through your day hour by hour, noticing moments of grace and resistance. (4) Confess—own missteps honestly and receive mercy. (5) Resolve—ask for grace for tomorrow’s next faithful step. Keep it simple. Set a five-minute timer. Write one line for each movement to keep focus. Pair the Examen with a verse like Psalm 139:23–24 or Lamentations 3:22–23. Expect gentle course-corrections. Gratitude reframes, review reveals patterns, confession clears the heart, and resolve aims love at tomorrow. If you are exhausted, shorten it to three: thank, review, and request. If you are leading a household or group, invite each person to share one gratitude and one grace moment. Practiced nightly, the Examen trains a habit of noticing. You end the day anchored in mercy rather than hurry, and you begin the next with clearer eyes and a lighter heart.
