Welcome to the Saturday examiner.

This week we seem to have considered the idea of change, changing names, attitudes,

and countries, and the challenge that comes with the Lord's invitation.

Perhaps that is our beginning for this week's examiner.

Take a few moments today to see the past week with the Lord's guidance.

Prepare yourself for prayer by focusing on your breath.

Take a few deep breaths in, and then a few releasing breaths out.

Notice how the change in breath brings stillness and an awareness of God's presence.

Take a few deep breaths in, and then a few breaths in, and then a few releasing breaths out.

Cast your mind back over the week.

Where have you experienced a community of faith, a call to witness, a generosity of spirit?

Is there a particular moment God has drawn you to remember?

Notice what rises to the surface naturally. Allow the moment to reveal itself.

Take a few deep breaths in, and then a few breaths out.

Do you notice any tensions, lack of understanding or frustration?

Allow these moments to be witnessed.

Take a few deep breaths in, and then a few breaths out.

Where, in the prayer journey of the week, have you found an opening of the heart or sense of challenge?

Revelation or relationship? Is there something that may lead you through this time?

Again, notice what arises naturally.

Looking forward, what would you like to ask God for, to find movement in your prayer life and practice?

What would you like to ask God for?
