1. 停下來. 靜一靜
2. 等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 感受主的臨在, 呼出你的憂慮
讚美及感恩
1. 思想最近使你開心歡笑的時刻
2. 為那些時刻及有關的人感恩
3. 敞開心懷讚美主
因 為 ， 在 你 那 裡 有 生 命 的 源 頭 ； 在 你 的 光 中 ， 我 們 必 得 見 光 。
詩篇 36:9
1. 求聖靈在你生命中工作
"親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
求你幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"
2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
「親愛的主耶穌，感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上，我願意在你面前承認我的罪（凡聖靈光照到的，請逐一說出），求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪，我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主，求你救贖我，我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主，求你帶領我。聖靈，求你充滿我，使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」
聆聽主話 (列王紀下 22:11-13)
Chinese (Union): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=列 王 紀 下+22&version=CUV
11 王 聽 見 律 法 書 上 的 話 ， 便 撕 裂 衣 服 ，
12 吩 咐 祭 司 希 勒 家 與 沙 番 的 兒 子 亞 希 甘 、 米 該 亞 的 兒 子 亞 革 波 、 書 記 沙 番 和 王 的 臣 僕 亞 撒 雅 ， 說 ：
13 你 們 去 為 我 、 為 民 、 為 猶 大 眾 人 ， 以 這 書 上 的 話 求 問 耶 和 華 ； 因 為 我 們 列 祖 沒 有 聽 從 這 書 上 的 言 語 ， 沒 有 遵 著 書 上 所 吩 咐 我 們 的 去 行 ， 耶 和 華 就 向 我 們 大 發 烈 怒 。
列王紀下 22:11-13
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 親自對你說話:
我的聆聽
How blessed is King Josiah that once he listened to the words of the Book of the Law and he tore his robes, representing of his own repentance and his repentance on behalf of his own people.
What was his next step after his repentance? He asked the priest and three officials to go to see a prophetess.
What was his next step after his repentance? He asked the priest and three officials to go to see a prophetess.
Let's see how Professor John Goldingay tells us:
As well as copious instructions about loyalty to Yahweh and how that is to work out, Deuteronomy incorporates hair-raising warnings about what will happen to Israel as a consequence of doing the kind of things the community is doing in Josiah's day. In the first instance, it makes Josiah go and ask a prophet what action to take.

There are two very important things we need to learn here in today's passage:
1. Don't just read those books, chapters or passages you like to read and do not read those you do not like. In this case, the whole book of Deuteronomy was being put aside or hide in some place inside the temple because people do not want to read, do not want to hear and do not want to see and do not want to do anything about it. Are you one of those people doing that?
2. When we are confused like King Josiah, are you willing to find a servant of God trying all your best to ask ways to have the right side up? You need direction and you need God's servants to guide you. Go and seek for God's servants to give you guidance and ask them to pray for you.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to read your whole Bible and not just part of the Bible. Lead us to be willing to be as close as we can to your Word, to you and to those servants you send to guide us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

省察問題
1. How important it is for King Josiah to do that two things as we mentioned above?
2. How would that two things affect your spiritual journey?
