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."

For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:16-18

My Listening
The topic I received yesterday was: It was good for me to be afflicted!
The topic I received today is: In faithfulness you have afflicted me!
Wow! You know God does not allow things to happen without His permission. He allows sufferings happened to you is because He is faithful!
Do you believe that?
Today's three passages tell us this fact:
1. Today's Psalm tells us: God made you, formed you, comforted you... When he allows sufferings happened to you is for you to know that only He is the one who will never run away from you because He is always faithful!
2. Today's Lamentation tells us: God allowed severe sufferings to happen to His own people because of their continuous rebelliousness. The reason for God to do that is for them to repent and come back to Him
3. Today's Hebrews tells us: Jesus suffered the most severe sufferings telling us that suffering is a test and Jesus tells us that if we are willing to wait, He is going to save us
If you believe that is good for you to be afflicted, you will be blessed!
You won't be unable to sleep! You won't be pull into depression! And, God will use you and your experience, your testimony to bring healing, freedom and salvation to many people!
