Tending to the Soul — Prayer of Examen - Rest and Renewal: A Retreat for the Soul

In this week's meditation, we explore the ancient practice of the Daily Examen—a gentle rhythm of slowing down to notice God's presence, reflect honestly on our inner lives, and respond with openness and trust.

Together, we'll create space for stillness, becoming aware of God's loving presence as we pay attention to our thoughts, emotions, and the movements of our hearts. Drawing from Scripture, we'll reflect on God's invitation to be still, experience inner renewal, and abide deeply in His love.

As we tend to our souls, we learn to recognize what brings life, what drains our joy, and how God continues to nurture growth within us. May this meditation help you become more attentive to the Gardener of your soul.

Scriptures: Psalm 46:10, 1 Kings 19:11–13, Romans 12:2, Ezekiel 36:26, John 15:4–5
