This document provides guidance for conducting a daily spiritual reflection called an "examen". It involves reflecting on the experiences of the day to see God's presence and action. This enables gaining wisdom for the future. It recommends opening your eyes and asking God for clarity, practicing gratitude in both joyful and disappointing moments, and reviewing the past year to identify a season of joy and disappointment. Tiles can represent these to express gratitude and ask for help. Finally, it quotes Psalm 77 about remembering God's deeds and miracles, and meditating on his mighty works.

3. 1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
Ps139

4. 23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Ps139

6. “A daily examen is a practice whereby we
reflect prayerfully on the experiences of our
day to watch for God’s presence, God’s action,
God’s grace. This enables us to gain wisdom
for our continued journey with God in the days
ahead.”
- Alan Fadling, Unhurried Living

15. 10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his

yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
