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."
Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"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."

Please see below the passages I copied today:
Wow! God has a Highway? Yes, it says so in today's Isaiah 35:8:
"And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness."
What is God's Highway for? Well, for us to go to him in a shorter time and faster way, similar to our taking the highway and not making too many stops through too many traffic lights and stops.
How can we do that?
Well, I think the answer is in today's Galatians 5: 16,18,and 25.
Four steps: 1. Walk by the Holy Spirit
2. How can you take action to take that Highway to go to Jesus?
My Listening
The assignment from the Lord to me today is "Walk by the Holy Spirit in God's Highway"
Wow! God has a Highway? Yes, it says so in today's Isaiah 35:8:
"And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness."
What is God's Highway for? Well, for us to go to him in a shorter time and faster way, similar to our taking the highway and not making too many stops through too many traffic lights and stops.
How can we do that?
Well, I think the answer is in today's Galatians 5: 16,18,and 25.
Four steps: 1. Walk by the Holy Spirit
2. Led by the Holy Spirit
3. Live by the Holy Spirit
4. Keep in step with the Holy Spirit
How can we actually do it?
Well, that's the wrong question! Because to do that is not the "doing", but the "being".
How can you take the highway and be with Jesus each day?
I have been enjoying this Highway the past more than 600 days!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing to take your Highway to go to you each day so that we can live out the fruit of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. Is there any effective "highway" for you to go to be with Jesus each day?
2. How can you take action to take that Highway to go to Jesus?
3. What have you got from Jesus today?
Let us praise the Lord:
