Silence
1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.
Praise and Thanksgiving
1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"

Reflect on these questions:
My Listening
Who's banner are you following each day? I mean who is the boss you are following?
Yourself? Or God?
When people lift up their own banner or following other people or things other than God, then those sins describe in today's Proverbs will happen:Lust, all kinds of sexual sins, envy, rage, revenge, unforgiving, darkness, shame, say and don't do, pride...
When we follow God's banner as the King's banner, when we follow Moses' way to pray, and pray and pray. Then, sure win!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to follow Moses' way to pray and for Joshua to fight a good fight for you that we can have a sure win following your banner. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. Who's banner are you following actually?
2. How does Moses' way to pray inspire you on how to follow God's banner?
