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."

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: Your attack mode hurt you and others!
The pandemic six years ago has a lot of bad influence to people. Lots of people are in bad mood, easily enraged, always negative thinking and in a kind of attack mode!
Today's Proverbs leads us to see what would someone look like if in attack mode:
1. A perverse person
A perverse person is someone who shows a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable. "A perverse person stirs up conflict"!
2. Someone who like to gossip
A gossip separates close friends, it means those who like to gossip can hurt or even destroy friendship.
3. A violent person
"A violent person entices their neighbours and leads them to a path that is not good"!
May be you think you do not belong to any of these three kinds of person. But, in this dark world, it is so easy for us to turn into an attack mode and we even cannot aware. People are so easy to angry at someone, mostly their own spouse or family members, or any people!
I do sincerely and prayfully hope that you won't live each day in an attack mode to hurt yourself and other people. We would have a better chance not to be in an attack mode if we can walk with the Lord each day and to be filled with the Holy Spirit!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us not to be influenced by this dark world to turn into an attack mode hurting ourselves and other people . In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
