10,000 Reasons
Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method)
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.”
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 sins 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 gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

"Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.
Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.
Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

Psalm 136:23-26
A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through today's TWA passages we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to Him.
The topic I received today from Jesus is: To have a cheerful heart praising God, for His love endures forever!
What is the most fear of most people?
I think that should be no one care, no one loves, lonely, helpless, hopeless, strengthless.
The whole Psalm 136 ends with "His love endures forever" in each verse. Yes, God's love endures forever and He will never forsake you because He always loves you. There is no fear when we are with God because His love endures forever.
Proverbs 17:22 is the most used verse for me to help many people to take them out from their sadness, pain, anxiety and depression. I have been using this verse to teach them the best way not living in darkness is to sing praises to the Lord and read God's word daily. To be in God's presence and God's love each day and to be filled with the Holy Spirit each day and the natural result is being comforted and healed by the Lord in a very special way because His love endures forever!
Dear Lord Jesus, Thank you for your loving us forever. Lead us to sing praises to you and to be with you more each day that we can be filled with the Holy Spirit each day to have a cheerful heart to enjoy life each day and to be used by you to enjoy your presence. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
