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."

My Listening
The topic I received yesterday from Jesus is:
"Money! Money! Money!"
The topic I received today from Jesus is:
"Believe! Believe! Believe!"
Today's Genesis 28:20-22 shows us a conditional prayer of Jacob after his big experience to see God in Bethel. If you read it carefully you might find that funny, and sad! How can we as creature tell our Creator that if you watch over me on my journey and everything good and I can come home, then, I will give a tenth of all that you give me!
Wow! This is a conditional prayer, very small faith!
On the contrary, in today's Matthew 9:20-22 and 28-30, the woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years and the two blind men's simple faith is totally different!
What kind of faith do you have with Jesus?

What kind of faith do you have with Jesus?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to have a simple and total faith in you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What kind of faith do you have with Jesus?
2. What is the next step of you to have a simple and total faith in Jesus?
3. What have you heard from Jesus today?
