Be in Gods presence – bless God
Simply allow yourself to become aware of the presence of God surrounding you. Allow this presence to fill your entire being. Be in his presence. Begin with a time of blessing God for the goodness that has been shown during your day with these or similar words:
Loving Creator God, I bless you & thank you for sharing this day with me and allowing me to live into a deeper knowledge and love of you. Quiet my heart and mind and guide me know as I reflect on your presence throughout this day. Open my heart to your touch. Allow me to look honestly at this day and acknowledge in truth the goodness and the failings. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

ENGAGE in a loving gaze at your day – really encounter it. Notice what happened – how you were in the day’s events. Acknowledge where you experienced the touch of God. Acknowledge your failure to recognize God in this day. Entrust your day to the love, compassion and mercy of God

LISTEN to God – allow God to speak to you about your day. Listen to how God wishes to respond to your day. Allow God the space and the silence to make known what is precious and necessary.

LEARN from today – look to God Look for ways to deepen your relationship with God in positive, life giving nourishing ways. Look to God for guidance.

SINK into gratitude for God’s presence in this day
Set a realistic goal for tomorrow to heighten your ‘noticing’ the touch of God. Allow God to send you into another day filled with gratitude, peace & hope. Close your time with God by praying this prayer:
All loving God, in gratitude I hand this day to you. Let me know your presence in deeper ways. Attune my heart to hear your voice and encounter your touch in various experiences that fill my day. Lift my heart to you when the demands of the day threaten to lead me astray. Let your spark shine through my human body and my actions. This prayer I make through Jesus who is our way, our truth and our life. Amen.
