Evening and Morning Personal Reflection


Next, I encouraged everyone to find a quiet spot and spend some time reflecting on what we had just looked at in God's Word. I provided a study sheet to jot notes and prayers on - the text of what you see below is what was on that study sheet in case you'd like to participate at home. This post concludes the study!

Prayer One: Proverbs 3:17-18, "Her ways are pleasant ways and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast." Write out a prayer of your own.


Prayer Two: Morning
What do you like about your mornings at home? What is working?




Is there anything not working about your mornings? Be specific.




Consider the patterns we see of mornings in God's Word - nourishment, worship, beginning of work, doing the important things early, being prepared. Do these words stir up anything in you? Think and pray through what God has for your mornings. Praise Him for what is effective and working, seek Him for things that need to change.




Prayer Three: Evening
What do you like about your evenings at home? What is working?



Is there anything not working about your evenings? Be specific.



Consider the patterns we see of evenings in God's Word - slowing, quieting, nourishment, drawing in, ceasing of work, conversation, hymns, enjoying beauty together. Do these words stir up anything in you? Think and pray through what God has for your evenings. Praise Him for what is effective and working, seek Him for things that need to change.
