We pray a prayer like this twice a day. After we ask God to behold us, we simply ask God to review with us where God was present in our day. We only do it for the current segment of our day. No need to return to previous days. Simply let God tell you about God's presence this morning or a later segment of the day.
Where were you, O God, this (morning) (afternoon) of my life?
The review of this period is like giving the TV clicker (remote control) over to God. God (Christ) has it and is in control. Give God some time to tell you about his presence. The grace is to see God's presence to you.
Thank you! Adding this to the "beholding" exercise is great. It is simple and flows very well, helping me to be more aware of God's presence.

Thanks, Jerry. I'm glad it is helpful to you. It helps out many who are making retreats. It grounds them before they enter prayer.
