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 and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"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."
“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 and having Jesus as my Lord. 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."

Today's main passage:
As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
1 7. Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
and the Lord saves me.
1 7. Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
Psalm 55:16-18, 22
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received today from Jesus is: It's time for you to have morning, noontime and evening prayer!
Psalm 55 is David's prayer and his cry to God. He experienced the whole world was turning upside down and he was being attacked by his own beloved people and enemies outside, his life was in severe danger!
The wonderful thing is that David had his prayer time with God in the morning, at noontime and in the evening. That is why he trusted that God will surely save him out of those attack!
Actually the tradition of the Church also have morning prayer, noontime prayer and evening prayer. But, because people are more and more busy, so this wonderful tradition is being lost and you can find that only in monastery, seminary or retreat.
It's time for us to reinstall this wonderful tradition to have a time to be with the Lord and to cry out to him in the morning, at noontime and evening. Because the whole world is being turned upside down and we need to cry out to God to turn everything right side up again!
I believe that God will listen to us just as He listened to David's prayer and that He will destroy the cunning and wicked plan of Satan to destroy this whole world using COVID-19!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing to be with you through our morning, noontime and evening prayer so that we can experience your deliverance for us out of Satan's plan to destroy the whole world. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What is your action plan to start having your morning, noontime and evening prayer?
2. What is your next step to make that happen?
