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."

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
let your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 57:7-11
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: Chased by King Saul, David's heart is steadfast, wake up early praising God!
If we only read today's Psalm, we might think that what David wants for his reader is to have a steadfast heart and have a lifestyle to wake up early to praise God because God's love and faithfulness is forever!
But, verse 1 to verse 6 describes how dangerous and desperate David was because Saul wanted to kill him and chased him so hard that he had to hide in a cave!
So, this Psalm can help all those who are being chased by COVID-19 to get out of that fear because it is the secret of David to get through similar situation. And, his secret is:
1. God with Him, his heart is steadfast
2. Wake up early to sing praise to God
3. Count His blessings trusting that he can get through
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be able to learn the secret of David so that we can get through this deadly crisis. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What is your action plan to follow David's secret to get through this deadly crises?
2. What is your next step to make that happen?
