As I approach God in gratitude for the last 24 hours, God is grateful I have chosen to spend this moment in God’s presence.
- What was the high point of the last 24 hours—that moment that I felt the most consolation? What made it the high point? How was God present there?
- And what was the low point of my day? What made it so low?
I stay with the contrast of the high and the low for a moment. I feel its tension. As I go about the next 24 hours I let myself continue to reflect on the highs and lows and ask God to teach me, to be present with me, and to lead me through it all.
