With journal in hand (or use the printable version of this page), prayerfully think through the following questions.

• How can you clear your evening calendar as you prepare for your night with Jesus?​

​

If it is evening now jump into the following two experiences. If it is not evening, carve out time to do this tonight (or at your next opportunity). Put an appointment or alarm on your phone if that is helpful.

• Reach out to resolve conflicts before you rest. Lift these efforts up in prayer to the Lord. Pray that God will be working to help resolve those conflicts that you have in your life.

​

• Take time to reflect on your day and life, to praise God, and to dream of what is to come.
