The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.

New season...

My prayer:

Your healing power is amazing! Thank you Jesus for healing my knee!

I love and appreciate all of the gifts and promises and blessings you have given us. One of my favorites, just after salvation, is healing.

You are the only true healer. We can treat illness and injury but you heal. Thank you God for being my healer!

What God Said Tonight:

The season is changing. Can you feel it? Do you see it? The evidence is all around you.

The atmosphere is different. The lighting is different. The air itself is  different.

The new season is nearly upon us. It is a season of joy great joy and great challenge. I have rested you and healed you. I have restored and rebuilt you. Now comes the time to use all that I have put in you.

I love you and I will do great things with and through you.

Heart worship...

My prayer:

I am so grateful for today and every awesome thing you put in it for me. Thank you for the favor, thank you for the healing, thank you for the encouragement, thank you for time with amazing friends.

i hope you don't get tired of me thanking you. Sometimes it feels a bit repetitive but I don't have better words to tell you how much you mean to me and how much I appreciate all that you are and all that you do.

Are there other ways I can show you? Are there other things I can do or say that will let you know how amazing you are to me?

What God Said Tonight:

I receive your praise, your worship as a sweet fragrance. The form it takes is not important to me. That it comes from your heart, that is what is important to me.

I don't need thanks given out of obligation. I don't need false worship done from a need to fit in. I need and want your heart.

I love when you pour out your heart to me, in words, in music, in groans and moanings. I love when you pour out your heart because it is real and it is truth and it is from you, my sweet and precious child.

I love you. Share your heart with me and it is enough. It is more than enough.

Expect to be blessed...

My prayer:

What amazing favor you showed me today God! Thank you!! I needed a "win" day and you sure gave me one. You are so very good to me. I am grateful to be yours.


What God Said Tonight:

I have more for you. I have more for you than you can receive.

I want you to expect my favor. Not in a spoiled or entitled way but in an excited and expectant way.

I want you to understand who you are in me. I want you to understand that there is no limit to what I will do for you.

Expect my blessing on your life because it is already yours. Expect my healing on your life because I already paid for it. Expect my grace and mercy to follow you because I have said that they would.

I love you sweet child. Expect to be blessed.

God's bias...

My prayer:

Today beat me up and beat me down a bit God. I pray for rest and restoration tonight. I pray for wisdom to handle things better tomorrow. Help me to be more like you.


What God Said Tonight:

Today is over and only important in that it sets you up for tomorrow.

I am your God and I will see you prosper no matter the circumstances around you. Remember to love those aorund you and I will take care of the rest.

I am your God. I am yours. I am always on your side. I will turn all things for your good. I am biased in your favor and always will be. I am the reason you  are favored and that will never end.

Let go...

My prayer:

Dear God. I feel like I beat my head against a wall all day and got no where. That is usually a very good sign that I am trying to control things that are outside of my control.

I pray God for your help to recognize the things that I do not, or should not have control over. I pray for your help to then let those things go.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Let go. You have such a tight grip on a life that you are not even enjoying half of the time. Let go of what you have and open your hands to receive what I have for you.

Don't be afraid of the open empty hand. I will always fill it. And you know that I will not give you a stone when you ask for bread. I will give you all that you need and all that your heart in me desires.

You will see great things. But before you have room to grab hold of what I have for you, you must let go of what you have right now. I promise it is worth it.

Love purpose...

My prayer:

Sweet loving Father. We have been doing this, meeting like this at night for a long time now. I still love it. I love hearing from you. I love hearing how it blesses other people. I wonder sometimes how long we should keep doing it. Or maybe how long we should keep doing it this way.

Do you want to do more with it? Do you want me to be doing more or doing it differently?

Fact is, whether we do it like this online or not, I don't ever want to give up our talks. They are too important to me. And, if sharing them this way blesses other people, that is a good thing, right? Just wondering.

Thanks for the great hike and all of the insights today. I still don't understand it all but I understand more and I can trust you with the rest.

I ask for your help as I go into this week. I pray for your peace and your power to reign.

What God Said Tonight:

I will never run out of things to say and I will never get tired of listening to your heart. For me, as I have said so many times, this is for now and forever. You and me are for now and forever.

I am in your life for a purpose and a part of that purpose is to reach out to people and let them see my love. You do that in many ways. This is one. This is one that happens to reach a lot of people very quickly.

I am here, ready to talk, ready to listen for as long as you are willing to show up. I love you and I am with you always.

Keep your mind on me this week. Not the ten percent. Not on the things you cannot control. I am on your side and I will work all things for your good.

Saturday, January 24, 2015

Holy Spirit Love...

My prayer:

Holy Spirit, have your way. Not just "have your way" in the traditional sense of how we expect you to move but truly, now and forever, have your way. I invite you right now, to fully have your way in my life. Whatever you want.

What God Said Tonight:

My way is always going to be to love. I will find new and creative ways to show it. I will show you new and creative ways to show it. But my way, will always be to love.

My love makes all things possible. My love makes life possible. I am love and love is in you.

The one way to make sure you never truly fail is to always act in love.

Thursday, January 22, 2015

Perspective...

My prayer:

Hi most wonderful God and Savior! How are you doing tonight?

I am grateful for the perspective you gave me today. I am grateful for the reminder that I get to choose my perspective and choose what I focus on. I choose to focus on the kind driver who let me into his lane when I suddenly realized I was in an exit only lane and I did not want to exit. I choose not to focus on the driver who was going 80 mph down the highway and drifted into another lane almost side swiping another car. That is one example but you know there are so many more.

Life is a lot more fun when I choose to focus on all of the things that are going well instead of wallowing in all of the things that are going wrong and which I have no control over. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

Wait until you are living here with me! That will give you some real perspective.

So much of what you think right now is important, isn't. And so much of what you think is not important, actually really is. It is very easy to stay late at work to finish a project. It is easy to believe that your family, your friends can wait. But, the truth is, family, friends, people, that is what really matters.

Your job is important right now because it is what you do and how you earn money to live. But, in the greater scheme of things. n the long term vision, none of that work will matter. People will matter. The love you show people will matter. Souls that get to live with you forever in heaven, those things will matter.

In the meantime, it is time for you to find a better balance. You have become out of balance and you need to balance out to receive my next assignment for you. You never know when everything, EVERYTHING, could change.

I love you daughter. Rest well so we can go at this thing called life again tomorrow.

Choices...

My prayer:

Dear Lord. I am pretty wiped out from today but still in awe and amazement of your power and love.

 I am very grateful to be yours. It could have gone a different way. I could have been born somewhere else and never heard or learned about you and your love for me. I could have gotten so lost in my teenage rebellion that I never found my way back to you. I could have stayed in my safe self imposed solitary confinement and never got to experience your love through our God family. There are so many ways, moments and choices that could have taken me away from.

Thank you God that they didn't. Thank you for always bringing me back. Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for always loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

I chose you and then I gave you the choice. This relationship is a two way street.

I will never leave you. I am always with you. Your choice is whether you are with me.

I love you so dearly. Like a parent loves their most favored child. I will never turn you away. I will never run out of second chances for you.

I love you. Rest in my arms tonight.

Jesus our healer...



My prayer:
Thank you Jesus for your miraculous healing power! Thank you that your healing is as much for us today as it was when you walked on the earth! Thank you for healing my friend's mom! The doctors had given up. "Come say good bye to your mom" they said. Then you fooled them all and healed her anyway. LOVE YOU AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your healer. Your faith makes you well. Be well, be healed in me. I love you.

Always...


My prayer:

Thank you for taking care of me today God. I cannot remember the last time I was in that kind of prolonged physical danger but I called on you, you got me through and I am here to tell about it. I learned an important lesson in the process and I meant my promise to you.

I love you God. Thank you for giving me another day.

What God Said Tonight:

I was with you today, guiding and directing your path but I let you choose the path you want to go down. I always know what is on the path and I have already prepared a way to get you through it, but you choose the path.

I love you. I will never let you down. I am with you always. You can rely on me to bring you through every situation, no matter how treacherous. And, when it is all done, I am here to heal you. To redeem you like new. Sometimes that healing is quick, sometimes it takes awhile. But, I will always heal you. I will always redeem you. I will always bring you through. I promise.

Tenacity...

My prayer:

Thank you for today God and for changing my perspective. It is amazing to me how much 45 minutes on a trail with you can change everything.


I know I don’t always get things right in this life but the one thing I know how to do is to come to you for help. Thank you for ALWAYS being there when I come to you.


I am yours and you are mine, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I love your tenacity. You cannot be shaken loose. You can be shaken. You can be tested. But you cannot be shaken loose. 

You are my child. I will never let you go. 

I have surprises for you that you cannot imagine yet. Your life has much excitement left to live. I am not done with you. You will see such great things yet in your lifetime. 

I love you, forever.
 

Saturday, January 17, 2015

Sometimes...

My prayer:

Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, like tonight, I start to really wonder if I have gotten it all wrong. Everything. What if I am so completely off of your path for me that I can't even find you again. What if I have gotten so distracted that I have completely lost track of what you want for me? 

Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, like tonight, I think that maybe I am completely lost. 

God, if I ever needed to hear your voice, I need to hear it tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

I think you have forgotten who I am. I think you have forgotten what I can do. I think you have forgotten whose you are. 

You are my precious child, my bride, my soul mate. You are my perfect creation, perfected in Christ. You are mine and I am yours, now and forever my love. 

I think you have forgotten that I am in charge. That you gave your life to me and from that moment on, I am in charge and I get to decide where we end up. I am not an absentee Father. I don't get too busy to help you, to teach you, to guide you. I am here, whether you realize it or not, all the time. 

I am your guide. I will not let you down. I will not let you dash your foot upon a stone. 

You are not off track. You are just on a track you have not been on before and that makes it unfamiliar and uncomfortable. It does not make it wrong. I love you so very much and I am right here.

The Wedding...

My prayer:

All knowing God. Not much about today happened the way I thought I wanted it to happen but everything turned out pretty wonderful anyway. You have a tendency to do that. To take circumstances that should be rotten and turn them around into to something pretty wonderful. Thank you for turning my lemons into lemonade God!

I pray and hope that I am always open to your plan, your path. It always works out best, even when it looks like it is not going to.

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am waiting with such eager anticipation for my bride. She is almost ready. I can see her in the wings, dressed and beautiful. She looks a little nervous but that will pass. 

Our time is almost here. I want to run to her, to help her get to me faster. But the waiting is sweet torture. I have waited a eternity for her and she is worth the wait. 

White as snow, covered by my sacrifice. We are already bonded but we are about to be joined as one in a new level of intimacy that we have not experienced before. All up to now was the courting. The time for commitment and deep intimacy is here. 

I love you my bride. I am here for you, waiting. Don't make me wait too long, please.

God or the devil...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. I keep having the same question asked of me by different people. "Is this God or the devil doing this." The "this" is always different but the question remains the same. 

What do I say to that? I mean there is the obvious, if it disagrees with your Word, it is not you. But sometimes, that is just not applicable. 

How do we know if that miracle is from you or just satan trying to deceive? How do we know if that opportunity is from you or from satan trying to take us off course? How do we know if that door that closed was because you did not want us to go down that road or because satan blocked it?

I feel like I know in my heart but I don't know if I am right and I have no idea what to tell the people who are asking. 

God, I pray for wisdom, understanding and the right things to say to people asking me about this.

What God Said Tonight:

There is good and there is evil. Satan does not use good to deceive. He may try but he is not capable of using good. Everything that is good becomes tarnished in his hand. 

Let's take an example. Winning the lottery. That is a good thing. However, for some people, once they win, it opens up all kinds of ugliness in their lives. Family fighting over money, gambling, other excesses. 

Many times the people who "won" end up more broke and broken than they ever were before they won. So, where they ended up, was that because of winning the lottery or because of choices they made after winning the lottery. Usually it is the second. 

I tell you so often that I will work all things for your good. Satan is busy trying to do the opposite. He is trying to work all things against you. He will try to take the blessings of life and turn them around on you. That is why the line of what is from me and what is fom him becomes blurred sometimes. 

I will tell you, the best determinate of whether I am in something comes through your sensitivity to my Holy Spirit in you. Seek the Holy Spirit and he will help you and guide you. He is there with you for that purpose. I cannot give you a short answer on this one other than to say seek my Spirit on each occasion and let me guide you. 

I love you and I will always guide you.

Redemption...

My prayer:

SO many thoughts running through my head tonight God but not in any way to make sense of them. Thank you for bringing me through another day that was rich with challenges. 

If I had one request tonight, it would be for restitution for anyone one who I have hurt, either knowingly or unknowingly. The older I get the more I realize that decisions or even one off comments that I thought nothing about can often result in someone getting really hurt. 

I understand that through your grace and mercy I am forgiven of all of my sins and I am extremely grateful for that. But, if it is not too much to ask, I would also request that those I hurt be somehow restored, redeemed, healed from any harm I caused. Is that possible God?

Thank you God for being the great redeemer, the great healer.

What God Said Tonight:

I have enough forgiveness for everyone. I have enough healing for everyone. I have enough salvation to cover every sin. 

I do need them to turn to me to receive. I will provide, but for them to receive the healing, the restoration, I need them to be open to me. 

I cover your sin. Yes, I have forgiven your sin through my blood sacrifice. And, I cover it. I cover the cost. The cost to you and to others. I am your redeemer and I have paid your debts. 

I love you and I am always on your side. Live well in the peace that I have you covered, Then, go and love. Your job always is to love the best that you can. I will still be here when that does not work out sometimes.

Precious gems...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I am so very grateful that you are on my side. I am never alone. I can always turn to you. You make me prosper. You give me wisdom. You give me answers. Feeling happy, at peace and very grateful for you tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

In the old days, I would tell you to put up an altar in remembrance of this moment. I had my children, my people, build altars so they would remember what I had done for them to get them through the tough times and the struggles. Now, today, we have different ways of remembering, like writing them down. 

Hold these days, these moments of clarity and peace as if they are precious gems. These are the moments that sustain you in the battle. These are the moments to remember when you just don't think you can take one more...whatever. 

I am always here for you. I will never leave you. I will always make you win in the ned. I am yours and you are mine and I don't want you to ever forget the joy of that.

Outside of the fog...

My prayer:

Amazing God. I have been focusing on the fact that I need a little better perspective on life. 

The things that I get caught up in, worrying about, stressed out about, do they really matter in the bigger scheme of things? Does my getting caught in traffic and delayed from getting home by 39 minutes in any way compete with someone who does not have a home to go to? Of course not. 

And yet, those things seem important to me because they are happening to me. Is that me being self centered and selfish or is that me being human? Or, are those two things the same?

God, I pray for wisdom to know what is important and worthy of spending time and effort on and what is not important. I pray for the ability to let go of the things I have not ability to change and focus for those things I can and should change. This is starting to sound an awful lot like the serenity prayer, but then again, that is a pretty good prayer!

Love you Jesus and thank you for your ever present help.

What God Said Tonight:

It is easy to live your life in a fog that only allows you to see those things that are right aroudn you. It is easy to forget that there is an entire world outside of that fog with other people just like you (and some that are nothing like you). 

Lifting the fog, at least once in a while, is a good idea. Living your life within the fog will get small and depressing. 

It is much like the blessings I have for you. I have so much more for you than what you are seeing right now. You look at the blessings that are closest to you within the fog and you miss the greater blessings I have for you, outside of the fog. 

I am bringing sunshine into your life to burn off the fog. It is time for you to see and be a part of the greater picture, the greater blessing I have for you. 

I love you. Get ready for the light.

God's perspective...

My prayer:

Thank you Jesus for a pretty wonderful day filled with pretty amazing people! This week was not easy but it is done and you blessed me all of the way through it. I cannot ask for more. I look forward to Sabbath with you tomorrow. Let's have some fun!

What God Said Tonight:

I am walking in stride with the rhythm of life on this world to be with you but my ways, my timing, my existence is not like yours. My perspective is not like yours. 

I can see the purpose and long term plan as easy as you see your next breath. Trust and know that I know things you do not and I will guide you according to my insight, not yours. 

I love you. Go rest now.

God's pursuit...

My prayer:

Thank you God for today. It was still crazy but I felt your presence and your peace all day. 

I am so grateful for you in my life! I don't think I would make it a week without you. Thank you for all you do and all that you are. Thank you most of all for loving me. Your love is more valuable than anything else that ever has or ever will exist. 

I LOVE YOU!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I love you too. More than you can every truly understand. My love is deeper, greater, and beyond anything you can imagine. 

I have a burning and aching love for my children. 

I will not sit idly by waiting for my children. I must pursue them now. The time is short. They need to choose. 

You, your life can hellp. Let's get the kids together for this last season.

Wednesday, January 7, 2015

STRESS...

My prayer:

Dear Lord I need your help dealing with this crazy STRESS! Today was another series of non-stop crises and I don't think I handled it very well at ALL. 

When I did take a moment to turn to you for help today, you always showed up and took care of it which I am REALLY grateful for. I wish I would have turned to you more often. 

Sometimes it feels like I am a batter in a batter's cage and the baseballs keep flying at me so fast and non-stop, all I can do is keep swinging my bat and hoping to hit a few.

Thank you for being on my side, working all things for my good and giving me peace in the storm. You are wonderful!

What God Said Tonight:

I am the answer for every problem that comes your way. 

I am favor in times of lack. I am wisdom in times of ignorance. I am peace in times of strife. I am what you need in every situation. 

I will step in and help EVERY time you call me. call on me and I will absolutely be there for you. Yo are my child and there is nothing more precious to me than my children. 

Go, rest, and leave your worry here with me. Let me carry your burden. Let me take care of the next solution, and the one after that, and the one after that....I will hit them all our of the park so to speak. 

Love you sweet daughter.

Tuesday, January 6, 2015

Open your eyes...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Getting back on this treadmill of life, crazy schedule, rush hour traffic, high stress has left me just trying to keep up. I don't have a lot of extra time or brain power to think about much other than just keeping up. 

I think that is part of why setting aside some time each day to sit with you and talk through things is so important. Otherwise, it is so easy to get completely caught up in the 'crazy' that the true meaning, purpose and joy of life is lost. 

I am grateful that even when I run out of words or thoughts, you are always there and have something to say. Something to help me step back and remember what is important and what isn't so important. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

It's time. It's time to look up from what you are doing and see the opportunities and possibilities in front of you. 

Lift your head and truly see what I have for you. Open your eyes to see beyond your safe bubble that you have created. Lift your eyes to me and let me show you what can be, If you want it. 

The daily grind can blind you to the bigger picture. It can blind you to the possible by flooding you with the present reality. 

I love you and I have much for you. 

Monday, January 5, 2015

Doors...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today wiped me out. Thanks for bringing me through it. I am grateful for your presence and your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is like a hall with many doors. Each door leads to different opportunities and new and different doors. 

Don't always reach for the closest door. Sometimes the better door is down the hall a ways. Also, if you open a door and don't like what you see, it is completely ok to close that door and look for another one. 

I will bring you many opportunities. Choose wisely. 

Sunday, January 4, 2015

Wholeness....

My prayer:

Sweet Father and wonderful Lord. Back to work tomorrow. This has been a wonderful break and rest. I will need your help to get back into the rhythm of the work week. I have really disconnected during this break.

God, I also need some wisdom and understanding. I am not sure how to even ask this. I guess I am just more aware every day that each of us have good things about who we are and what we do and bad things about who we are and what we do. 

I think I have learned to love folks, with all of the good and bad that comes with them. But, I don't think I am very good at trusting. I so often put up walls as soon as I see a side of someone that worries me. Part of me thinks that is smart but part of me sees that it isolates me from people. Because the fact is, none of us are all good (except for you Jesus).

Anyway, you always tell me I can bring you anything that is on my heart. This has been  bothering me lately and I don't know what to do or think about it. I ask for you wisdom and help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have often said the key to everything is love. That remains true. Your job is to love your fellow man, your brothers ans sisters. Your job is to love them. 

Trust can be a part of love but not always. You can't always trust people. You can always trust me. I will protect you. I will take care of you. I will work all things for your good. Your trust is in me. Not in the people around you necessarily. 

I know we have talked about this before but it is time for a new level of understanding.  A new level of healing. 

You have reason to not trust people in your past. You have reason to trust me. 

Place your trust in me and love those around you. The combination will be the wholeness that you seek.

Out of your heart...

My prayer:

What a fun day God ending with amazing prayer, worship and communion time with you and friends. Thank you for this day and everything you showed me, everything we got to do together. LOVE YOU!

I am excited about this next season and seeing what you want to do. I can't wait to be a part of it, whatever it is. I think I am getting glimpses and it looks really exciting!

What God Said Tonight:

Follow your heart. The dreams, the desires, the compassion within you is given directly from me. Trust it and follow your heart. 

When you are acting out of your heart, out of your love, you cannot go wrong. 

I love you sweet child.


Thursday, January 1, 2015

In this together...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I am really enjoying this time of rest and at the same time feeling like I should be doing more. 

For every time there is a season, a time to reap, a time to sow...etc. How do I know if I am in the right season or if I am just being lazy? I don't ever want to miss what you have for me whether that is helping someone or being helped. 

God, I ask for your guidance. I ask that if I am out of season, or if the season is changing, you show me what to do and not to do. Help me to see the path you have for me. Correct my path if I have wandered off of your best for me. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am in you. I am your helper and your guide. 

I have many options for you every day, every moment. I have come that you can be set free. I don't wish for you to be my robot following my every command. I want us to walk through this life together making choices together, making plans together. I am in this with you. 

If I see you are on a path for destruction, I will warn you. Don't close off my voice when it is something you don't want to hear. It creates a wall. 

I want the best for you. You want the best for you. Let's do it.
