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
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 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.”
“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."

8 Listen! My beloved!
Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
11 See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.” Song of Songs 2:1-13

8 Every morning I will put to silence
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passages we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
I received a very trembling, encouraging and loving message today:
2. Every evildoer and wicked will be put to silence
1. Dip in God's love every morning
When I was reading Song of Songs this morning, Jesus asked me to count the number of appearance of each names that the husband and wife called each others in today's four chapters. Then I counted and this is it:
My darling 6 times
My beloved 10 times
My beautiful one 5 times
The one my heart loves 5 times
My bride 5 times
My sister 3 times
This is how Jesus expects us to call him early in the morning and how He is going to call us every morning. Wow! How blessed we are in this sweet relationship with Jesus!
2. Every evildoer and wicked will be put to silence
"Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land. I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord" Psalm 101:8
When I remember King David describes how he worshiped God every morning and that intimate relationship he had, Jesus reminded me this morning that is how He calls me every morning and He expects me to call Him the same way. Then He said, "You should not be afraid being attacked by bad people or bad things any more !"
Oh! I understand at last why I have been experiencing a kind of peace, secure and settled as never before the past three years and eight months! It's because many of us started our daily 6am Time with Abba and 7am Eucharist three years and eight months ago!
Thank you my Beloved, for your presence, your blessing and your protection!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to dip into your love every morning so that we do not afraid of any bad people or bad things happening to us any more. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
