End the day with God.
Five to ten minutes at the end of the day: be still, give thanks, look back at where you loved God and your neighbor and where you didn't, confess it, and hand him tomorrow.
What it does
A prayer in six movements
Stillness (Psalm 46:10), gratitude, a review of your day by pillar, your own questions, confession (1 John 1:9), and tomorrow (Lamentations 3:22–23).
Your own questions
Add the questions you want to answer every evening, yes or no, with a note.
Patterns
See how many evenings you've prayed it in the last 30 days, and how often your answers were yes.
Saved privately
Each Examen saves to your encrypted journal, or pray it without saving.
I need to talk
In a cohort, quietly ask your captain or a partner to call you tonight. They're told nothing else.
How it keeps your 12:30+1
Link a Soul commitment to the Examen, and praying it keeps it for the day.
- Pray the Examen before bed
- Five minutes looking back at my day with God
- Confess before I sleep
A routine step can open the Examen, at the end of an evening routine. Linking it to your 12:30+1 is free on Standard, like every link that keeps a commitment.
Your 12:30+1 is one small commitment for each of heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30), plus one for your neighbor (Mark 12:31), with a one-minute account each evening. How the 12:30+1 works.
