Look back on an ordinary day

Six original prompts, not a reproduction of Wesley's historical questions. Write here or print a blank sheet. Answers stay in memory for this visit only; nothing is saved or sent.

Your reflection sheet

My daily reflection

  1. 1. Recall one ordinary moment when you noticed something to be thankful for. What made you notice it?

    [Space for reflection]

  2. 2. Think of a conversation you would handle differently tomorrow. What would a kinder response look like?

    [Space for reflection]

  3. 3. Look back at how you used your time and resources. Choose one small change that would make room for what matters.

    [Space for reflection]

  4. 4. What stayed with you from Scripture or prayer? How could you give that thought attention again?

    [Space for reflection]

  5. 5. Who could use practical help? Name a next action without recording another person's private circumstances here.

    [Space for reflection]

  6. 6. What would you like to bring to prayer before tomorrow begins?

    [Space for reflection]

This sheet offers space to reflect, not a spiritual score.

A habit of honest reflection

Discipleship Ministries publishes a set of self-examination questions associated with John Wesley. That resource is linked below for readers who want its wording and context. This worksheet has six new prompts of its own. It does not reproduce or replace that list.

Set aside a few unhurried minutes. You can work through every prompt or stay with the one that gives you something useful to consider. The aim is attention and a practical response, not a perfectly completed form.

Begin with an actual moment

An ordinary conversation, a choice about time or an unexpected kindness can give reflection a concrete starting point. Describe only what you need to remember. You can leave names and another person’s private circumstances out of your answer.

The prompts move through gratitude, relationships, time and resources, Scripture or prayer, practical care and the day ahead. They leave room for your own words rather than asking you to award yourself a spiritual mark.

Choose a next step you can recognise

If you notice something you would like to change, make the next step small enough to act on. You might return to a conversation kindly, set aside time to read, or offer practical help. Bring that intention into prayer in your own words.

For a group setting, agree what is private before inviting people to share. No one needs to display a personal worksheet to take part. Use your church’s pastoral arrangements for matters that need a conversation rather than a text box.

Keep or clear your own words

Typing is optional. Print a blank sheet if you prefer to reflect on paper. If you do write here, your answers stay in this page’s memory; they are not stored in a journal or sent to a service.

Print, copy or download only if you want to keep the answers yourself. Clear all answers empties the worksheet. Reloading or leaving also clears your entries, so print or download first if you want to keep them.

Questions

Are these Wesley’s original questions?

No. These are six original prompts for personal reflection in a Wesleyan spirit. The Discipleship Ministries source below has its own question list.

Can I use it without typing private answers?

Yes. Print the blank sheet or reflect away from the screen. Every answer is optional.

Where are my answers saved?

They are not saved. They stay only in this page’s memory until you clear them, reload or leave. Your own printout or downloaded file is yours to manage.
