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
"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."

1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:
“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."

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, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"

The assignment from the Lord to me today is to be able to know my sins, confess my sins, repent, change, renew and follow Jesus daily. Also, to try my best to help people to experience that.
Can you imagine the guilt of Levi had to be a tax collector hated by all Jews? He knew his sins but he was not able to do anything about that because he had to make a living! Then Jesus came to him, accepted him and asked him to follow Him! What he really experienced is that his sins have been forgiven, his following Jesus and not stuck on his path as sinner means that he confessed his sins and repent.
The experience Levi had fits perfectly to what is in Proverbs and Leviticus today as we need to deal with our sins. Don't let yourself being eaten by your own guilt! There is a way out! Jesus is the way out and He is the way to lead you a victorious life as in today's Psalm.

Dear Holy Spirit,
Shine on us that we are able to see our sins and be able to confess and repent so that we can leave our sinful lifestyle and to follow Jesus as our Lord and King . In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. Do you have any guilt that you have not dealt with and has been eating you for years? How can you deal with that sins?
2. What are those things blocking you that you cannot follow Jesus as Lord and King daily?
2. What are those things blocking you that you cannot follow Jesus as Lord and King daily?
3. What have you got from Jesus today?
