Being needed...

My prayer:

Mighty God. It is good to be needed God but it will be good to get away for a little while too. Thank you so much for this vacation. I am so ready for it. 

I pray God that you guide us and lead us each day. Take us to the places and the people that you have for us. Help us God to be a blessing everywhere we go. I thank you God for your traveling blessings on us. I pray your protection over the flights, the bags, us and I thank you God that you rebuke the devourer for our sake. I thank you for your protection everywhere we go. Thank you God. YOU ARE AWESOME!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am glad that you are getting away for a little while. It will be good for you. However, you also know that being needed is something that you need. It is part of what makes you. It is part of what fuels you. 

You were created with a servants heart and that heart has to serve or it withers and dies. Take this time, rest, regroup, meet new people in new places. Enjoy each and every minute of it. But, don't lose track of the fact that you were made to serve. You were made to be needed. You were made to fill the holes and solve the problems around you. 

I love you daughter and your nature, your gifts are beautiful. This time will help you to remember and appreciate them more fully again. I love you and I am with you always.

Release the pressure...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am at peace tonight, fully content, although always hungry for more. This is good God. This is a good place to be. I am not often here. I am usually striving, reaching, waiting for that next thing; but, here tonight, I am satisfied. 

This is a nice feeling. I want to stay here for a little while. I don't want to get too comfortable that I stop growing and striving. That is my fear, if I stop reaching for the stars, I will stop forever. But, if it is ok, I would like to just coast a little bit for a little while? 

I love you God and I love every opportunity you have brought me; but, can I just be for a little while? 

What God Said Tonight:

Most of the pressure you feel to do the next thing is from you, not from me. I am happy that you want to grow and you want to serve. I love that about you; but, the pressure is not from me. 

When you think about it, all of the really great things that you have done, have been easy because you were relaxed and relying on me. I am going to help you see over the next week, the things that you have imposed on yourself and the things that I have brought to you. 

It is fine for you to have goals that you set and that you achieve. But those goals, the ones that originate from you are the  ones that take so much effort and energy. The ones from me. The goals the dreams and opportunities from me are the ones that come so easy, once you get started. 

Time for a little life inventory and find some balance again. We have time to do it. We will do it together. I love you daughter and I want only the very best for you. 

Generosity...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Just thinking tonight. Before I decided to live my life for you, all I could think about was all of the things I would have to give up. Now, all I think about is all of the things I gain with you in my life. I forget sometimes that there are people that don't live each day with the assurance of a loving, heavenly Father, working everything out. I know that sounds crazy, that I could forget that, but sometimes I do. 

I guess it is the same thing with every time that you want me to step into something new. My first thoughts are about the things I will have to give up in order to do it. But, once I do it, all I can think about is what you have added to my life. This blog is a great example. When you first put it on my heart, all I could see was the time and effort it would take and I didn't have any more time. But, once I started it, all I could think about was how amazing it was to hear from you every night, always something new, and always something that touched people all around the world, people that I will likely never meet this side of heaven. 

You always give so much more than what you ask for. You generosity is beyond anything that has ever been experienced before. God, I want to be more like you. I want to be generous like you. I want to think more about what is gained through the sacrifice than what is lost. Help me God to be more like you.

What God Said Tonight:

It wouldn't be called a sacrifice if there wasn't a cost to it. But you are right, I will never ask for more than I am willing to give. You will never out give me no matter what you give. I will always make sure that you have more than what you give. 

Your generosity makes a way for you. It makes room for you to receive more of my blessing. I am a God who loves to lavish my children with gifts. I love to bless you to overflow; but, I can fill up a full vessel. You have to pour out some for me to refill. Pour out what you have and I promise I will always refill and fill beyond what you have poured out. 

I filled the widows vessels, I will keep your vessels full. Never be afraid to give. never be afraid to be generous. You will never see lack as a result of your giving. As a matter of fact, it is just the opposite. Your blessing, your increase and your promotion lies within your giving and your generosity. 

Give of your time, give of your talents, give of your heart, and give of your provision. give and I will give it back to you. I promise.

Beginnings...

My prayer:

Awesome and amazing God I am very grateful that you got me to tonight. I am so ready for this rest and vacation you have blessed me with. Life has been exciting but exhausting. Thank you  for always giving me everything I need when I need it. 

I am not sure what else to talk about tonight. My thoughts are kind of wandering but nothing new. I am ready to just not think for a little while. If I can just turn my brain off for a few days, that would be good. 

I love you God. What is on your mind while I try to turn off mine.

What God Said Tonight:

I am not sure you recognize the significance of this time, of this moment in time. I don't think you realize all that is going on around you right now. I don't think you understand that today is a day that will be remembered for eternity. Today will be remembered as the day of beginnings. 

You are about to see the beginning of a brand new season and time where nothing is as you expected in the past. You have waited for this time and it is here. 

You are equipped and prepared. remember this day. You will look back on it one day and say, Hey, I remember that day. Things that you thought were minor coincidences will become great testimonies. 

I have so much for you daughter and it starts now. Not tomorrow, not next week, right here and right now.

Favor...the good, the bad and the ugly...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I have been thinking tonight about your favor. I love your favor on my life. I love how you bless me. But, because I know I don't deserve it, that I didn't earn it, I worry sometimes about losing it. I worry that one day, I will wake up and suddenly your favor is gone. I am nothing without your favor. 

That is kind of true of all of your gifts. You know I love when you heal people, when you heal me. It is one of my favorite things of yours that I get to be a part of.  But for me, sometimes, since I know that I did nothing to deserve to be healed, I worry that it will come back. Then sometimes, that worry becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and before you know it, I get sick with something you already healed me of. 

The thing is, I will praise you every day for the rest of eternity. I am so very grateful to you God and I want to be pleasing to you. I want you to be blessed by my life. Help me God to be a blessing to you.

What God Said Tonight:

My favor, my gifts for you are a blessing and while you don't deserve them and haven't earned then, I never expected you to earn them. Does a parent expect their child to earn a roof over their head and food in their stomach? No. 

The gifts I have for you are from the beginning of time. They were made especially for you. There will definitely be times when you notice them more than others but I will never take them away. I will never take my blessing of of your life. 

You are my daughter and I love you. What kind of father would I be if I stole your gift back from you. What kind of God would I be? I love you and my favor on your life is forever.

Shine...

My prayer:

God you are so GOOD! It is nights like tonight where I just marvel at how you work out everything in my life! You put me in the right job, connect me with the right people,m in the right situations to prosper. you heal me, you teach me, you bless me, you show me how to bless other people, you save me, you provide for me...there is nothing that I need that you do not provide. 

How amazing is that God?! If the world could really understand that. If they could understand that everything they need is only as far as a prayer away...what a wonderful world this would be. 

I love you God and can't wait to hear what you have to say tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

You are in your nest. You are in the perfect place that I have created for you. You spent a lot of years trying to figure it out on your own. That resulted in a lot of years of struggle. But now, now that you let me be in charge, I have been able to place you in your right time and place to do all the things that you have dreamed of. 

You want the world to know what I have for them, let your light shine. You want the world to know, tell them. There are many eyes on you right now, today. Be the influence that you were made to be. There are people who I have assigned to you that are just waiting to hear and understand why you are so happy, so full of joy, so fulfilled. There are people who think that you have something special. And, you do, it is me. 

Tell people. Tell more people. Take every opportunity to let people know that I am your source and I have place dyou here and now for this. Be my witness, now and forever.

No imagination...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need your wisdom and guidance tonight. I had someone tell me something today that I can take two different ways and I not sure what to do. Do I listen to the actual words that were said? If so, I feel loved and taken care of. Or, do I listen to what I think was meant but what he didn't say? If so, I am hurt! 

I don't know God. I am coming up on 48 hours of no sleep and barely trust my self to think let alone trust my feelings. Speak to me God and tell em what to do.

What God Said Tonight:

I know you already know the answer. Choose the one that best fits what you expect me to do. I walk in love and love is never offended.

I come to you to talk bout things as they come up. Others consider themselves observers of your world, You need to choose to be a participant. You need to choose that you will play on my side. Once you do that, the power for people to offend you goes way down.

SO, the answer is very simple. Listen to what he said. Everything else is imagination and in this case dangerous. 

On assignment...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Life is so crazy busy right now, but you know I love it like that. I love when there is just a little bit more to do than there is time to do it. I love the challenge of it. I love that it makes me rely on you. I love it when people look and say, "How did you do all that?" and I get to point at you! That is FUN!! 

I have one more week of crazy and then a week and a half of rest God. Help me God get everything done that needs to get done this week. Help me to see the priorities. Remind me of each thing I need to do when I need to do it. Thank you God for leading me, guiding me, teaching me and always helping me! I love you!!

What God Said Tonight:

This "rest" has an assignment all on its own. You are going to have more opportunities than you can imagine to minister and walk in the gifts I have given you. You will rest too but you will be ministering my word. You will be my lighthouse in dark places. You will be my living  word for the people around you. You will be my reflection to those who don't know me. 

You will be ministering in a different way and a different place than you are use to but you will be ministering. It will be a great and a glorious time. You will be fulfilled and rested all at once. I have planned this time since the beginning of time and you are right where I need you to be. 

I love you and I am with you always.

Purpose suit...

My prayer:

Today was so beautiful and so wonderful God. I am grateful for this wonderful life you have given me. You have made me rich in so many ways. 

I am going into what could be a challenging week but I know you will take care of me. I know from experience that as long as I keep you first, I can count on everything working out in the end. I vaguely remember what life was like before I had that assurance and it was so frightening and stressful. 

Thank you God for a life with you. Life without you is truly not worth living but life with you is AMAZING. God, I know I have a lot to learn, a lot to do, a lot to change; but right now, tonight, I am just grateful and content to be here with you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am taking you to places you have never been before to do things you have never done before. Your ministry and your life are about to see and accomplish things that you have not yet imagined. 

I have a good and powerful purpose for you and for your life. I have a special and unique purpose for each of my children. It will take each of us to complete the dream. It will take every single child of God, coming together and playing their part, contributing their gift. As it all comes together, it will be so beautiful. 

There is much to do but it is all amazing and will bring such great joy to you and to your life. I am excited for these days. I am excited to see each of you waling in your purpose and in the plan I have for you. You will love it, I promise. You were made for it and it was made for you. Your purpose fits like a perfectly designed and altered suit. You purpose fits you so well that you look better when you are in it than you do when you are out of it. You feel better when you are in it than you do when you are out of it. 

Your purpose is perfect for you and no one else. That is why it is so important for you to get into your purpose. If you don't no one else will because I made it just for you. 

I love you. Rest in me tonight and forever.

Flash drive for God...

My prayer:

Today was a wonderful luxury God. Thank you for the gift of today. 

Life is pretty exciting right now, both for what you are doing in my life and in the lives around me. I am so excited for the new dreams and visions you are giving us in this season God. I love the new ideas, the new ideas of how to live a life with you and together, the new ideas for worshiping you. I love it all! 

You are the inspiration and the purpose God. You are the root and the goal of everything. I love you and can't wait to hear what you have to say tonight...

What God Said Tonight:

I want you to understand something. You are like a flash drive. I load you with all that I can, as much as your memory can hold. Then I need you to go out and plug into others and download what I have given you as you transfer those files to them. It cleans out your memory to receive more. 

I have this plan and purpose for all of my children. That is what it has always been about. I never planned on being trapped into buildings. I purposed and planned that each of my children would go out and transfer what I have poured into them to the people around them. 

Be my flash drive and be constantly in either the state of sharing what I have given you or receiving what I have for you. Those are really the only two states for you. You can be receiving from me or you can be giving me out. 

I love you daughter. The simple principles are some of the most important. Don't forget them.

Give...

My prayer:

What can I say God. Tonight was so amazing. Prayer and Worship group was incredible. The prophetic words you shared were amazing. The healing you accomplished, the dreams you clarified, the visions you gave...AMAZING!!! 

God, I want to find a way to live me life in that place of deep anointing. Is that possible? Would I be able to function or would I need to go live in a monastery kind of place? 

I don't know but I know I love it. I know I love your power and your  presence. I know I love being around people who experience you and share with me in these amazing times. Thank you God for bringing us together and for showing up every time. I LOVE YOU!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I gave you words, visions, dreams tonight because you took the time and the effort to spend with me. You did not come from obligation, you cane excited to receive and to give. 

You are someone who enjoys seeing other people happy. You are happiest when you give. SO give often and give a lot. It will fuel you and fill you. 

Whenever you start feeling down or discouraged, give. I promise you will feel better. I love you. Go rest now and give again tomorrow.

The grass is always greener...

My prayer:

Amazing God. I look at days like today, weeks like this week and I am amazed. You give me skills beyond the skills that I have. You give me favor with people that I don't deserve. You give me wisdom and insight that is beyond my ability. And with all of that, you make me better than I am and give me the ability to effect people and the world around me more than I could on my own. 

WOW! I mean...WOW!!! I feel like I should wear a shirt or a button or something that says, I am not so great...that is just my God seeing shining through. It is all you God and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of what you are doing!! 

Thank you for the new opportunities today. I can tell you are up to something good and I am excited about it!! I LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Do you wonder why that saying is so true in so many situations? It is part of what sin does to you. Sin let's envy in and envy destroys every time. 

Part of what I want you to understand is that the envy in this world blinds people to the truth that I am in charge. It blinds them to the truth that you are talking about tonight. When people are envious, all they can see is what you have that they want. They can't see the source of it. The thing is, if they could open their  eyes and see the source, they would understand that they could have it all too. But envy blinds and envy begets envy. 

Like all sin, envy multiplies. It is like a virus and soon blinds you to everything except for the thing you are envious of. Stop envy in its tracks. Refuse to let it in. Instead, look at the source, the supplier of that thing you want and go to the source. I am your source now and forever and I will absolutely give you the desires of your heart. I love you.

I am...

My prayer:

Amazing God, amazing life, amazing, favor, amazing God!! I love you so much! I love what you do in my life so much! You are so incredible!!! I wish I could speak a hundred different languages just so I could praise you in every one! How about Hallelujah!!! I believe that is "celebrate God" in every language on earth? HALLELUJAH!!!!! I am so crazy about you God. I love you. I love what you do for me. I love living with you on my side. That is it really. You are perfect and wonderful and I am in awe of you. HALLELUJAH!

What God Said Tonight:

I am,. that is the thing. I simply am. 

I am waiting for you. I am rejoicing with you. I am in you. I am. I simply am. 

No matter what ever happens, I am. I do not change. You may look for me in different places, but I do not change. I am. 

Whether they are praising me in triumphant entry into Jerusalem or whether they are crucifying me and spitting in my face, I am. People's response and opinions of me do not change who I am. They should not change who you are. Stand strong in the understanding of who you are as a child of me and do not let people's opinions or your circumstances dictate who you are.

You are a mighty warrior and you are a royal priesthood. You are exactly what I intended you to be. Be proud of who you are but make sure you are showing off my work and not my throw aways. 

I love you forever. 

Final revival...

My prayer:

Your favor is so awesome God! I know that I talk about it all the time and you are probably getting a little tired of it; but you keep blessing me, giving me favor with people, opening opportunities that I have not earned, and prospering me over and over and I can't stay silent. I have to praise you God! I have to tell the world that it is you and not me. I have to let everybody know that you get the credit and you get the glory! 

You are so awesome! I love you so much and I am so grateful for you in my life. Thank you for opportunities at work. Thank you for opportunities in ministry. Thank you for opportunities in relationships. THANK YOU! You are the God of new opportunities and I am so GLAD!

What God Said Tonight:

Do you see the crowds? Do you see the revival? Everything you do, every opportunity is preparation for the revival to come. There are thousands, millions of people waiting for this final revival. There are so many of my children who have been crying out for so long. 

You will see the revival in your lifetime. You will see the massive crowd that I have shown you so many times. You will see the waves of healing pass over the crowd. You will see people of all cultures, all beliefs, come to recognize me as the most High God and see Jesus as the only way to their salvation. 

You will see great prophesy and mighty wonders. You will see creative miracles. You will see the dead rise. You will see great disaster but you will see great redemption. You will see it all. 

You will be a part of the last generation. You will be a part of these final days and you will see the culmination of the law, the promise, and the redemption. I have chosen you, my children of this age, to be witness to this amazing moment in history. You have been groomed and prepared. You are a special generation. 

Blessing and cursing...

My prayer:

Awesome God you gave me a little bit of everything that I needed exactly when I needed it today. YOU ARE SO AMAZING!!! Thank you for understanding what I need and providing for it every time. 

God, you bless me like crazy and I am so grateful. I don't know if I always do a good enough job of passing that blessing on. Do we ever get a clear idea of our effect on others. It has to be a mix of good and bad. People are great about telling me about the good effect I have; but, I always wonder about the other side of the coin. I wonder about the negative effect I have on people. Being flawed, I am sure that I sometimes negatively effect people. I don't want to I would love to be a crazy blessing to everyone around me all of the time. What would that be like? I just heard you God, that would be like hanging out with Jesus all the time. Sounds good to me! 

God, I pray that I am a blessing more than I am a curse to those around me. I ask that you show me when I am not being a blessing and help me to change. I love you God and I want to better reflect the Jesus in me for your sake, for the people around me sake, and for my sake. 

What God Said Tonight:

You know how I have told you that there is death and life in the power of your tongue? Well, it is true for your life and for the lives around you. 

If you want to bless the people around you, speak blessings into their life. Be specific about it too. Don't just say, may God bless you. Spend some time with them, find out what is on their heart and pray that I bless them with the desires of their heart. Then you will be a blessing. 

If you don't want to be a curse, don't curse them with your words. Even words they don't hear have power. Once you speak something, you give it life. When you are in traffic, be careful of what you say, even when they can't hear you. You can curse someone you don't even know with a careless word. 

I am serious about this. There is power in your words. I gave you that same creative power. Don't misuse it. Be a blessing and not a curse. You make the choice and you realize that choice with your words. I love you daughter and always will.

Jump into Spring...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Life has been so serious lately. I think I have been forgetting to enjoy the ride. And, now, I am beating up on myself about that. 

Truth is, I am pretty sick of me right now God. What is on your mind. You are so much more interesting and worth listening to.

What God Said Tonight:

Do you ever wonder why I made so many white flowers for Spring? There is a purity and a freshness in Spring. It is the time when everything is new. Everything is fresh. The old fades away and the new bursts up from the soil. The ravages and cold of Winter are not forgotten but lose their power in the fresh flush of Spring. 

Spring is here. Jump into it. Leave the dead of Winter behind and jump into Spring with me. I am ready to take you into a new beginning if you are willing to leave the winter behind. 

I love you daughter. You will love the new season but don't miss it. Don't miss what I have for you because you can't stop thinking about what didn't happen last winter. Let go of the past and reach forward to the future I have for you. It is good.

Unanswered prayers...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the luxury of rest today. Thank you for getting me recharged. My life is so wonderfully full and busy. but, every time I get a couple minutes to rest, my mind goes to the things I don't have. The prayers that have gone unanswered. The promises that I have not yet seen. 

Why is that I wonder. Is it natural/normal? And, even if it is, why do I do it? It doesn't do me any good. It doesn't help me in any way to dwell on those things. It does not inspire me, it only depresses me. 

God, help me to change this. Help me to concentrate on all that you have done. Help me to only focus on the things I don't yet have if there is something that you want me to do about it. 

Fact is, you have shown me that I can have anything I really want. I wonder if the reason I don't have some things is because somewhere deep down I don't want them? I will have to think about that one. 

I love you God and I pray that I have the mind of Christ, focusing on those things that are good.

What God Said Tonight:

My daughter, if you were to have everything right now there would be no need for tomorrow. There would be nothing to strive for. If everything was perfect, you would never want to change and the fact is, there is more change needed in you. 

There will be a day when every promise is fulfilled in your life. There will be a day where you live in the perfection of heaven. There will be a day when everything that you think you are missing right now will be a permanent and eternal part of your life. That time is not now. 

Now is a time for study, for change, for growth, and for joy. There is much joy in the process of growing and striving. It gives you one more thing to get up for each day. 

I have great plans for you and they are exactly on time. It is just the time is not now. I love you and I will bring you each promise in due time.

Worn out warrior...

My prayer:

My incredible God. I am not sure what to pray about tonight. So much happened this week. Good, bad, and ugly. I am grateful you got me to the weekend. I am grateful that I live in the assurance that you are taking care of everything. I am grateful that while people around me are making decisions out of fear, I don't have to be afraid because you are with me. 

God, I cannot imagine life without you and I don't want to. I was made for you and I am only complete when you are with me and in me. My entire purpose for being is to know you and serve you. 

I know the meaning of life and it is to live for you. God, I worship you. I adore you. I am 100% for you!

What God Said Tonight:

My precious and darling child. I love you beyond measure. You are beaten but not broken. You are tired but still standing. Lean on me and let me restore you . Rest in me and let me redeem you. I will make a table for you in the midst of your enemies soon enough. 

I will care for you and I will fight the evil that is against you. It is against us both but I will fight and I will defeat it. It has no legal right in your life and it must go. 

I am content with you and I am pleased with your presence. I am happy to spend time with you. We will rest tomorrow and we will rise to fight again. I am your warrior King and you are my warrior princess. The angels of heaven surround you, ready for the fight but tonight we rest.

Confidence...

My prayer:

My healer, my joy and my peace. You are all that I need God. Let me hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Walk with me on the shore. Walk with me on your hands and knees. I don't care how you do it but walk with me and don't stop. 

As long as you are with me, there is growth, there is life It is when you  turning away from me that darkness tries to rule. Stay in the light of my presence. Let my light shine through you each day as the beacon that leads them to safety and to salvation. 

Each day is a new opportunity to shine. Do not boast but do not hide your talent either. I gave it to you and I expect you to use it. Be confident and speak out

Anger...

My prayer:

Today was a bit rough but it ended in success and reminded me that I have a lot of growing to do God. So, thank you for the day and the lessons. Thank you for coming to my help when I asked. 

Forgive me for waiting too long to ask. I was pretty invested in being angry for awhile. What a waste of time! I drive my self crazy when I let my self fall back into those old unhealthy patterns, but I still do it sometimes. 

I still let anger get the best of me. I still let little things, stupid things, get under my skin. As your child, I should not allow that to happen. I can live in divine peace. I don't have to get caught up in the nastiness of this world, And yet, I do sometimes. That must mean I am choosing to participate in it! 

I NEED TO STOP PARTICIPATING! Please God, help me to do that. Help me to live every day and every minute in your perfect peace. Let me live every moment in your perfect joy. I pray for the peace that passes all understanding in my life. I pray God that you bless me with peace of mind, body and spirit. I love you God and I need your peace.

What God Said Tonight:

Perfect peace comes from an unwavering focus on me. It comes from always looking at me and never at the problem. It comes from total trust that I will work everything you. 

It is not up to you to make sure everything works. You will become exhausted and you will fail, eventually. Instead trust in me more, let me guide you and give you things to do, 

God's help...

My prayer:

Wow God. What a roller coaster of a day! Frustrating, exhausting, challenging, then awesome divine appointment to end the day on a super high note. Thank you God for calming me in frustration, energizing me in exhaustion, strengthening me in challenges, and celebrating with me in divine appointments. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING! 

And, now, having drained nearly every bit of conscious energy from my brain, all I can do is listen and rejoice in your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your rock. I don't move and I don't break. I can withstand any force, no matter how evil. I am here for you in every situation. 

I sit by sometimes, so desperate to get involved, but having given you free will, I have to wait for you to ask me to help. Don't wait until things are out of control to ask for my help. Ask for my help first and I will show you the things you can do to help yourself. 

Asking for my help is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom. It is a sign that you understand who I am and what I want to do for you. Ask me first and then make a plan. That way, I can guide your plan. I can help you execute my plan. That is so much easier than when you make a plan and then beg me to help when it goes terribly wrong. I will help, no matter the situation, when you ask for my help, I will be there and I will rescue you. I am your great redeemer. But, the sooner you ask, the less there is to clean up. 

Rest now. Tomorrow if full with more divine appointments and opportunities to tell people about me. I love you daughter. 

Seasons...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for the opportunity to share my faith in unexpected places today! It was great meeting a new friend and believer in you. 

God, it seems like everything is just "right" now. Not that everything is perfect but that everything is flowing and moving in your direction. There is that great sense of direction and favor that I get when I am in your will. It is AWESOME! I love these times God. 

There is nothing better than the feeling of being in your perfect will doing what you would have me to do. I am content and excited about what is next. God, I love you. Thank you for this time, your will, and your favor!!

What God Said Tonight:

Seasons. All of life is seasons. This is your season of Spring. Everything is fresh, new, growing. Everything is full of hope and promise. 

There is a season of summer that will follow that will be the enriching and full growth of you. Then, comes the harvest, the time for your growth to be used to nourish others. That is followed by the season of winter, also called the little death. Winter is the season where you hibernate a bit and regroup. It is a time for studying and dwelling in my word. It is a time for deep reflection.

Every season is valuable and every season has its joys and its struggles. Learn to appreciate every season as much as you do Spring and you will live a happy and fulfilled life. I love you daughter and I love that we have many more seasons together to enjoy. 

This is not the end...

My prayer:

Best Easter or Resurrection Celebration weekend EVER God! Thank you for the amazing people you have in my life that love you and seek you out. Thank you for people who have a heart for you and to be your disciples Thank you God for our quiet time today and your reminders of your love for me and that you will never leave me. I loved every minute of this weekend God. I hope you did too?

What God Said Tonight:

This is not the end of the world. This is the beginning f a new season. There are wars and rumors of wars but this is not yet the end of the world. Time is short, but this is not the end. I needed to make sure you knew that. 

I love you daughter and today was a blessing to me too. This weekend has been a sweet balm and a refuge to me. Thank you for your worship, your obedience and your love. 

You are my sweet daughter and I love you more than you can know. I love you through the end of time and beyond. There is no courage that is needed that I will not provide. There is no challenge that is bigger than my ability to meet it. 

I love you daughter go and rest. This week is going to be big but it is going to be good. 

Sacrifice...

My prayer:

What a beautiful day God. Outreach today was amazing. So many kids blessed with toys, so many people blessed with clothes, and I don't think I will ever forget the sacrifice of the elderly woman at the crosswalk. What an amazing celebration of you God! Thank you for making me for this time, this place, and for this reason. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

What God Said Tonight:

Washing you and you are clean. Cleansing your soul so it is perfect. Covering you in the protective power of my; salvation. That is what this weekend is about.

For once, in many years it is time for a true celebration. It is a time for a honest look and understanding of what my sacrifice means to you. Not what it means in the abstract. But what does it mean to you? Just like I want us to have a personal relationship, I also want you to understand my  promises personally.

My salvation promises that you are whole, redeemed, healed, sanctified. My sacrifice means that the days of the devil winning in your life are over. It means that no matter where you go, no matter what you face, I am on your side and I will defend and care for you.

It also means that you are mine and that I can't let you sit in more sin. I love you too much. I will show you the way. Pay attention. I am after a particular pattern right now and I will see this prophesy fulfilled. I will not let one last promise go unfulfilled. It is all yours.

You may want to go other directions at times but intimacy with me will always draw you back. I know you. I created you and I love you. Be my hands and feet for the duration.

A true love story...

My prayer:

Thank you God for today which was wonderful! Thank you even more for tonight which was incredible. Thank you God for people and a life that matters. Thank you God for the sacrifice that you made so I could know you and live the life you hoped for me instead of the life I deserve. Thank you God for...well for everything! I LOVE YOU! I APPRECIATE YOU!! I ADORE YOU!!! 

I pray God that this weekend, our worship, our praise, our outreach, is pleasing to you. I pray God that it blesses you. I pray God that we make you smile.

What God Said Tonight:

Come here and climb into my lab. I am waiting for you and I want to love on you. I want you to feel my love. You hear about my love and you see my love sometimes but right now I want you to feel it. 

I want you to understand that my love for you is stronger than anything else in the world, in the universe. I want you to understand that nothing will ever break my love for you. I want you to understand that my love is more constant than the sun and will never leave you. 

I love you and I will love you until they haul me away; but, even that won't diminish my love for you. I will love you when they beat me and my love is not diminished. I love you while they kill me and my love is not diminished. I love you when they bury me and my love is not diminished I love you when I return and it is not diminished one bit. 

My love for you will grow indefinitely. My love for you will never end. Rest you heart with me. My love is not diminished. Sleep in peace,

Go...

My prayer:

I worship you, my God. I praise your holy name. I stand in awe of who you are and of all you do for me. I worship you oh God. I praise your holy name. I live to feel your presence and to hear you say my name. I worship you my God. I praise your holy name. You are my everything. You are my wondrous king. I worship oh God, each and every day. I praise your holy name.

What God Said Tonight:

I have such great treasure for you my daughter. You have only seen the beginning of what I have for you. 

You are focused and listening to me again and now we can move forward. Now we can go to the next new thing. Now we can go to the next level. 

I know the transition was tough. It always is. But now, like every time before, I have brought you through and it is time to build again It is time to create again. It is time to move again. 

You are about to have ideas and plans and desires filling your heart again. Know that they are from me and that I will bless then as you step out in faith. Go my daughter. Go forward and I will go with you.

God's driving...

My prayer:

Seems like it is transition time again God. Always exciting but never comfortable. Things are harder during transition but that isn't always a bad thing. One thing I like about transition times is they make me take a look at all area of my life and consider what things don't fit anymore. I think I need to do that, really spend some time and do that 

God, I pray and ask for wisdom in this process and throughout this transition. Take me God wherever you want me to go. I love you and trust you with everything I am.

What God Said Tonight:

Transition is easy if you trust and follow me. Relax and follow me. Don't try to force your own path. 

I know where we are going, follow me. You don't know where we are going so stop trying to lead and just follow. I know you like to lead. I know you like to run the steering wheel. But, since you don't know where we are going, that will just get us lost. 

Scoot over and let me steer. We will get there a whole lot faster and a whole lot easier. I love you daughter and have great things for you, as soon as you let me drive.

Who am I ...really...

My prayer:

My awesome God. Today was better God. I tried to change my focus and it was better. What a privilege it is to be your hands and feet on this earth God. What a privilege it is to know you! 

You are kind of addicting. The more I know you the more I want to know. The closer we get, the closer I want to be to you. And, then, if I ever feel farther away from you, I go into withdrawal. 

Dearest God, I am probably the most imperfect person on the earth but you found something in me worth loving. Thank you for looking deep enough to find and thank you for loving me!

What God Said Tonight:

I didn't have to look too deep. I only had to look to your heart. 

You are my precious child and creation. You are made in my image. You are a Royal Priesthood and a Holy nation. You are a child of God. Who wouldn't love that? 

Beyond that, you are uniquely you. You are every unique attribute that I fashioned together since the beginning of time to have you here, now, for this time and for this purpose. You are perfectly and wonderfully made and you are made for a purpose. My purpose and my plan for you and your life will be accomplished. I will see you seated in high places I will see you succeed. And, I will guide you all the days of your life. 

I love you with a passion that burns forever. I love you with a power that eclipses all other powers. I love you becauase you are mine. Rest in my love tonight Know that you will never have to question it. My promises are forever.

Disappointing God...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I can't seem to shake the feeling that you are mad at me God, that I am disappointing you. Now, I know better. I know that I am covered in the blood. I know that you have forgiven my sin. I know that guilt does not come from you. But, I have this nagging feeling that something is wrong. That I have done something or not done something. It is dogging me and I am not sure what to do. I feel like it is creating distance between us and I HATE that.

Awesome God, please let me know what is going on and what, if anything I should do. I need wisdom and understanding. I need to know where this is coming from and if there is any validity. 

I know very well that I am NOT perfect and that you don't require me to be. But, if there is anything that I am doing that is causing distance between us, please get rid of it or show me how to get rid of it. You are my everything.

What God Said Tonight:

There is no distance between you and me. I am in you and you are in me. We are one in unity. But, the distance you feel is related to your focus. Your main focus has not been on me lately I am not the thing that your mind consistently returns to. I am not what is keeping you up at night. You are not focused on strategizing the next thing that we will do together.That is why you are feeling distance. 

Refocus and remember the bigger plan. Work, is important but I am more important. People are important, but I am more important. Even dreams are important, but I am more important. 

Keep your mind STAYED on me. That is, don't let it wander. Keep me first and everything else will fall into place. You don't have to strategize in your work if you are focused on me. I will work everything else out in your life when you focus on me. Remember your priorities an I will remember you, always.

Eyes wide open...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for today and for all of the reminders about what is good in this world. Thank you for the beauty of the mountains. Thank you for physical strength to enjoy them. Thank you for good food, good books, good people and everything else. I needed that. I needed to be reminded that there is still good and joy and beauty in this world. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

You are surrounded by beauty all of the time; but, when you stop looking at the ugliness around you, you also stop seeing the beauty. 

I want you to live this life with your eyes wide open. I want you to see and experience all there is. I want you to lean on my strength and protection when you see the hard things and I want you to rejoice and share with me when you see the good.

Don't go through life with blinders on. Have the courage to look and to see everything around you. I am your God and I will keep you safe. I love you more than I loved my life, that is why I gave it up for you.
