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:
I was praying for a good friend of me today as she got into a huge storm in her life and that she would like what today's Psalm happens to her life:
What is the right way to pray so that the promise of Psalm happens to our lives when we are in huge storm?
Today's key words in Proverbs, Isaiah and Philippians give us the answer:
3. Be Watchmen in Unity
4. Pray for Jesus' Concerns
How can you live out these four points in your life so that next time when the big storm comes you won't collapse? How can you live out these four points in your life so that God can use you to help people to calm their storms?
To me, it is more and more simple!
For the past 640 days we have more and more people coming to Richmond Emmanuel Church to eat God given honey together. We understand that we are fellow soldiers and willing to be watchmen in unity so that we won't pray for our own concerns anymore but be able and willing to pray for Jesus' concerns!
That's how the churches in Korea pray daily early in the morning before 6am. Some have their pray meeting at 4:30am, then 5:15am, then 6am.
You are invited to join us to "Eat God given honey together, Be Fellow Soldier, Be Watchmen in Unity, Pray for Jesus' Concerns"
2. How would these four points help you to stand firm in storms? What are you going to do about that?
My Listening
The assignment from the Lord to me today is "Eat God given honey together, Be Fellow Soldiers, Be Watchmen in Unity, Pray for Jesus' Concerns"
I was praying for a good friend of me today as she got into a huge storm in her life and that she would like what today's Psalm happens to her life:
"He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven."
What is the right way to pray so that the promise of Psalm happens to our lives when we are in huge storm?
Today's key words in Proverbs, Isaiah and Philippians give us the answer:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to come into an awareness that we really need to come together each day to eat the honey your provide, to be fellow soldiers, to be watchmen in unity so that we know and be willing to pray for your concerns and not only our own concerts. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What is your way to calm the big storm in your life or others lives?
2. How would these four points help you to stand firm in storms? What are you going to do about that?
3. What have you got from Jesus today?
Let us praise the Lord:
