Delight in the Lord and He will satisfy the desires of your heart.
Spiritual rest at night might start before you lie down in bed or before you close your eyes. Ignatius suggests a review of the day, noting when you were vitally aware of the presence of God during your fast. He suggests recording this in a journal which may mean sitting up or sitting elsewhere for a short while (so we don’t close our eyes for good). This is a time to delight that He was there with you in the middle of life and to fall into sleep with a renewed feeling of the satisfaction that only He can provide.
I am trying to be more faithful with this evening review. Every morning I look forward through my day and ask for Him to be with me and those I will encounter during each specific appointment or activity … it makes sense at night to review how He showed up … I am still learning how to time this spiritual practice.
Father, may I remember the delights of the day.
happy hunger
