The Twelve Nightly Questions [86:1]	Chronology of Todays Events
1. How was I resentful? (If so do 4 column inventory)


2. How was I selfish (i.e. egotistical, self-seeking)?


3. How was I dishonest?


4. How was I afraid?


5. Do I owe an apology?	Who did I help today?


6. What have I wrongly kept secret?


7. Was I unkind (i.e. cruel, harsh, unfeeling)?	What did I accomplish today?


8, Was I unloving (i.e. cold, unresponsive, indifferent)?


9. What could I have done better?	What I am grateful for today?


10. Was I thinking of myself most of the time?


11. Was I thinking of what I could do for others?	Who needs my prayers today?


12. Was I thinking what I could pack into the stream of life?

But we are careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection for that would diminish our usefulness to others. After making our review we ask Gods forgiveness & inquire what corrective measures should be taken? We say a Prayer:

God, please forgive me for my failings today. I know that because of my failings I was not able to be as effective as I could have been for you. Please forgive me & help me live your will better tomorrow. I ask that you now show me how to correct the errors I have just outlined.

Guide me & direct me. Please remove my arrogance & my fear. Show me how to make

my relationships right & grant me the humility & strength to do your will. Amen.

Reflections on the Day.
