The Prayer of Examen: Your Daily Spiritual Check-In | Rhythms of Faith

Christ Church IL Season 11 Episode 16

Join Pastor Jamie Morrison of Vernon Hills Church as he unpacks the transformative practice of the Prayer of Examen - a simple yet profound way to review your day with God. Far from being a harsh self-assessment, this ancient practice helps you discover the divine footprints in your daily journey.

In this enlightening episode, learn how to:

  • Recognize moments of "consolation" - times when God felt especially close
  • Identify instances of "desolation" - when you may have relied solely on your own strength
  • Transform your evening routine into a meaningful spiritual reflection
  • Practice gentle self-examination without judgment or criticism
  • Grow as Jesus's apprentice through daily awareness

Drawing from Psalm 139 and Paul's teachings, Pastor Jamie shows how this time-tested practice can help you become more intentional about living each day with God. Whether you're new to prayer or seeking to deepen your spiritual journey, discover how the Prayer of Examen can help you see the "Hansel and Gretel crumbs" of God's presence throughout your day.
