Prayer of Examen – CMHI resource
The Examen is a spiritual practice that has been used since the 16th century. CMHI provides you with a gentle, Anglican, version. In this prayer, we notice God’s presence, and name it, at both the joyful and the sorrowful times.
Like other forms of contemplative prayer, using the Examen practice regularly may aid you in discerning God’s voice in your life. When we direct our attention to God, he shows us the ways in which we will be helped by focusing our time and energy on him, and guides us away from the things that do not help us.
This is a short, mindful, kindly spiritual practice that helps us to find God in the everyday as we pause at evening-time to look back over the joys and laments of the day, and to focus on where God spoke to us, even if we may not have heard his voice at the time.
