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."
The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 72:15-20; 2 Samuel 7:1-8:18; John 14:15-31, Proverbs 15:33)

1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:
“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.”

My Listening
Today's Psalm tells us how David was being blessed since he was a young guy because he loved God and followed Him closely!
Wow! God removed all his enemies, he was in a kind of no worry, no war, only peace state. That's why he gave thanks to God and said, "Praise be to God who alone does marvelous deeds!
Today John's passage gives us the confirmation from Jesus Himself that those who love God and follow God will be blessed and that is to experience God with us, that was how David experienced!
May you understand if you love God, follow God and you will be surely blessed!
