in personal reflection leads to self-discovery and growth. Taking time to explore our thoughts, emotions, and actions can lead us to redemptive, healing, and empowering outcomes.
In my own life, I’ve experienced the benefit of reflective practices. Through the examen of Ignatius, for example, I’ve learned to discern God’s presence in my daily life, identify areas for improvement, and seek God’s guidance for the future. This exercise has brought clarity, peace, and a deep sense of purpose.
Taking a personal inventory has also been beneficial to me. By honestly assessing my strengths, weaknesses, and values, I’ve been able to make intentional decisions aligned with my beliefs and aspirations. This self-awareness has led to personal growth and a stronger sense of identity.
Imagination is important in reflective practices. Envisioning different outcomes or a favorable future can inspire hope, motivate us, and build our resilience. We can see beyond our current situation and consider new possibilities.
Psalm 139:23-24 reminds us to invite God into our self-reflection, asking him to reveal any areas in our lives that need redemption and guidance. This process leads us on a path of healing and empowerment guided by the Lord’s wisdom and grace.
Summary: As we have stated in many lessons; It is very crucial to have a close relationship with Our Heavenly Father and get to know him well and trust him. That strong connection helps us all to be able to go to Our Heavenly Father and reflect on what we might have done wrong in our lives during a year, confess and ask for forgiveness and repent of the act. Having a good reflection time can help with a strong growth spiritually and get a good future of blessings and a life of peace that can be beyond all understanding.
Closing Prayer: ”Lord, as I pause in this moment of quiet, I ask for your guidance and wisdom to help me reflect on my life and actions. Open my heart to see where I have fallen short and where I can grow closer to you. Help me to learn from my mistakes and to embrace your teachings with a humble and open heart. May this time of reflection lead to a deeper understanding of your love and a renewed commitment to serving you. In your name, I pray.
Our lord and savior we pray. Please forgive me of my sins agains
t you, please come into my heart. By the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for Saving me.
