Reviewing the week with God, not against yourself

Weekly Examen

The examen is a prayerful review: you walk back through the week with God, noticing consolation (where life and love grew) and desolation (where you closed off). It is done gently — this is not an audit.

Your weekly examen

Saved privately to your account

Where did I sense God's nearness this week?

Where did I resist Him, and what was I protecting?

What is one thing I want to carry into next week?

Learn the practice

Search me, O God, and know my heart… and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24

  • Begin by remembering you are loved; the examen only works from safety.
  • Notice gratitude before you notice failure.
  • Name resistance without arguing with it. Ask what it was protecting.
  • End with one small, concrete intention for the coming week.
