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:
31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
Luke 22:31-34
33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”
Luke 22:31-34
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: Don't let COVID-19 to sift away the relationship with your spouse!
I have seen quite a number of couples have lots of problems lately, their relationship is being sifted away by COVID-19!

They have less co-operation, more confrontation; less holding hands together, more distancing; less loving words, more bitter words; less appreciation, more criticism; less love, more hate!
How can relationship become like this?
Well, it's all because of Satan cunning scheme, but Jesus knew it in advance so that he warned Peter in today's passage and warn us now not to take it for granted that the relationship of you and your spouse will not be taken away.
Satan's plan is first to sift away the relationship of you and Jesus, then sift away the relationship of you and your spouse!
May we turn back to Jesus if we have been away from Him because of COVID-19. May you take this opportunity to run to Jesus and then the relationship of you and your spouse will be reignited and Satan's cunning scheme completely destroyed!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help more husbands and wives to take this opportunity to turn back to you so that their relationship can be reignited and Satan's cunning scheme completely destroyed. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. How can you take this opportunity to turn back to Jesus so that the relationship of you and your spouse can be reignited and Satan's cunning scheme completely destroyed? Or, if you are OK, then how can Jesus uses you to help more couples to reignited their love?
2. What is your next step to make that happen?
