Right where you are...

My prayer:

Let's do something God. Let's go somewhere. Let's bless some people. Let's see a new corner of this world. Let's go somewhere and do something that matters.

What God Said Tonight:

Your blessing goes with you. You can find people to bless every time you get out of bed. Bless people right where you are. I have planted you there because I need people around you to see you, know you, trust you and come to me with your life as the example. 

We can go anywhere, and we will go many places. But, don't forget, I have a purpose and plan for your life and much of that is for the place I planted you with the people I have planted you with. 

Don't let your wanderlust keep you from seeing the blessing and work right in front of you. 

Seasons of life...

My prayer:

There is something about youth that makes you think that everything is possible and that your dreams are only a matter of time. Through the years, I have seen you bring so many dreams to pass, which is wonderful. Others have not happened and I think I have lost hope for them to happen. It seems like time is pretty short. 

I also have changed my motivation for dreams and goals. What I want is not so important anymore. I have seen that your plans are better than mine so I surrender to your will. There is peace in that surrender but it also less exciting. It shouldn't be. Especially since I am never sure what you are going to do next. It should be more exciting. 

I don't know God. I guess I am just feeling the years tonight and missing the fire of youth.

What God Said Tonight:

I have seasons for a reason. There is a time for the fire of youth and a time for the peace of maturity. 

The truly great thing is that you get to take all of your experiences with you every day for the rest of eternity. Your youth is a part of you. Your maturity is a part of you. The next season, is a part of you. You will take it all with you into eternity with me. 

You bring all of you to the throne and your praise, your worship reflects the beauty of every blessing and every struggle you have been through. Your worship is a reflection of all of you and it is so beautiful to me. I love all of you. 

Don't diminish any season in your life. Find the beauty in it that I see in you.

The rain...

My prayer:

Sitting in peace tonight God. It is a pretty nice spot. There are still plenty of worries, questions, circumstances all around me. But right now, here with you, I sit in peace. One of the greatest gifts of a life with you is your peace. Your healing is still my most favorite but peace is right up there. 

Thank you for your peace that is bigger and stronger than any problem that comes against it.

What God Said Tonight:

The rain comes and leaves beauty, life and joy in its wake. It doesn't come with the intention of destruction, although sometimes that happens. It does not come with the intention of putting out fires although sometimes that happens. 

Rain comes because of other factors that produce it. What it leaves behind is not really within its control. Blaming the rain for the flood or giving it credit for putting out the fire is giving the rain more power than it should have. 

Inspiration, dedication, freedom...

My prayer:

I am inspired by people who don't accept limits and believe they can do anything. I am inspired by people who are always striving to be better and don't take failure to heart. I am inspired by people who can love in the face of any adversity. I am inspired by people who never, no matter what, lose faith in you God. 

Thank you for all of the inspiring people in my life. I pray God for your help to be more like those who inspire me.

What God Said Tonight:

Inspiration is the fire. Dedication is the work. Freedom is the reward. 

When you can truly live the life that I intended for you, you live free of guilt, shame, 'what ifs' and self hatred. You live free of judgments from other people. You live free to believe you are who I say you are. 

Let your inspiration lead you to freedom. 

You are an amazing child of God who is covered in my blood and made holy. Nothing is impossible for you because you are mine. I love you, now and forever.

Really, really soon...

My prayer:

You were right God. Today was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. 

Because of the amazing people you put in my life, today was a continual reminder that I am loved. That is pretty awesome! Thank you for filling my life with such incredible people and thank you for loving me! 

Thank you also for the good report today. One more miracle!

What God Said Tonight:

It's ready really, really, soon but not yet. I have something that has been in the works for awhile for you and we are so close but not quite. 

I can't wait to show you. I can't wait to give it to you. I know you will  love it. You will see the purpose of so many of the struggles that you have been through. The purpose will be clear. 

I love you and this will be a great blow to evil and a great triumph for us. Come, dance with me. Let me hold you. Let's celebrate in anticipation of the victory. I love you.

Dread...

My prayer:

I am physically and emotionally exhausted and I have no real excuse as to why.  But that is where I am at tonight God. Everything I can think about to talk about sounds like whining so I think tonight I better just listen. 

What God Said Tonight:

It is not going to be as bad as you think. I know you are dreading it. I know you have built up in your mind that you are going to hate it. But, the truth is, there is a blessing in it. There is love in it. 

The truth is I can turn anything for your good, even those things that you are determined to hate, if you will let me. 

I love you. I have surrounded you with people who love you. Let us do that.

Together with God...

My prayer:

Right here, right now with you, there is peace, contentment, joy, and comfort. There is nothing better than your presence God. It really is the only place I ever want to be for the rest of eternity. In your presence. 

I love it here. I love you. 

The world goes crazy and I know you have heard my prayers for the needs of my friends throughout the day. But, now, here with you, I ask that you receive my love. Receive my worship. I pray that you get even a sliver of the joy from being with me as I get from being with you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you. I sacrificed my son so I could be with you. I paid the ultimate price so I could be with you. 

I love you more than you can ever know. I will do whatever I have to do to make sure we are always together. There is a plan for all humanity that is based on the simple principle of creating ways for us to be together. It is the most important thing. 

My time with you is more precious than gold or diamonds. I love you.
