Saturday 6 December 2025 - Lifted up to God

Saturday 6 December 2025

Welcome to the Saturday Examen. Each week, we try to look back over the prayer of the last few days, so as to try and hear what God has been saying to you during these days. As you look back, can you see where and how God has been speaking to you? When did you find yourself really lifted up to God? We call this moment 'consolation', when you are keen to be doing whatever God is asking. What might God be saying to you here? Were there any moments when you felt utterly cast down, unenthusiastic about where God might be inviting you to go, unattracted by what God appeared to be offering you? What is the best way of responding to this 'desolation', do you think? Was there any time this week when you were consciously resisting God’s invitation? How can you put that right? Where does God want you to go from here? O Wisdom Lord and Ruler Root of Jesse Key of David Rising Sun King of the Nations Emmanuel Come, Lord Jesus
