Transition to glory...

 

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I am so grateful for this week and the time we have had together. It has been truly wonderful. 

My heart is breaking tonight though, for all of those I have talked with this week who are struggling with loss and in particular people who have lost their parent. We have the comfort of knowing that they are with you but it is still so hard for those left behind.

I lift up my friends to you Lord, those who are dealing with the loss of a parent and pray that you comfort them, you heal them, and you provide them with a new season filled with joy, peace, and purpose.

What God Said Tonight:

I received your prayer and I receive their pain. I will absorb their pain in this grief and leave them with the love and peace that only I can bring. I will wrap them in my love and I will show them the path forward. 

For those of you who have received salvation through my death and resurrection, can see death as a transition to glory.

Celebrate in their glory and be comforted in my plan and future for you. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

Celebrate...

 

My prayer:

We are almost to the time where we celebrate your birthday! I know it is likely not anywhere near the actual day that you were born here on earth but I still love setting aside time to celebrate you and the beginning of your time on earth to save us from our sin. 

It is pretty incredible to think about the reality of it all. Did Mary really understand that she was giving birth to the Christ Messiah. How do you raise God from an infant? How do you watch your son that you have raised, sacrifice his life for all of humanity?

I have grown up with the story of your birth on earth and your sacrifice, so it seems normal but when I stop to really think about it, I have so many questions.

But, I am letting my thoughts and my mind stray. Happy birthday Yeshua. I am so grateful for you and I celebrate your life.

What God Said Tonight:

Celebrate. Celebrate with me and for me. Celebrate for you. Celebrate the beginning of an idea, a life, that through sacrifice, paid the debt of all sin. 

I love you now and forever.

The answers...

 

My prayer:

Blessed and Holy Father. My mind and my emotions are all over the place tonight. There is so much happening, I don't really know where to focus my prayer. But in crazy times like this, my focus has to be on you. My eyes have to be on you. You are my only hope and my everything. Nothing else works without you in it. 

I am so grateful for you God. Thank you for choosing me, loving me, saving me, and being the answer for every problem. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have your answers. Not only the answers for what you face today but I have the answers for everything you ever will face. 

When the world seems overwhelming and the problems seem bigger than what you can see, trust me, remember me, know that I have the answers and the path forward. I will not let you be crushed and overcome. I will see you through it all. 

I am your hope and I am your answer, to everything. Abide in me and me in you and nothing can overcome you. 

I love you sweet daughter, now and forever.

High mountains...

 

My prayer:

All mighty Father. Thank you for today. It was a good day. All glory and honor to you God. 

You know what I am walking into tomorrow. I don't but I know I will need your help. I pray for your direction, discernment and your favor. I am yours God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

No mountain is high enough that we cannot climb it together. No challenge is bigger than my ability to resolve it. 

There is nothing that can come at you that I don't already have an answer for. I am not surprised by the challenges of tomorrow. 

I love you now and forever. Know it and trust it my child.

Priorities...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you so much for this time of rest. It was so needed and truly wonderful. 

I am so grateful for the life that you have given me. Living this life for you is so filled with joy and wonder. 

Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I get so caught up in the craziness around me that I forget that I am so fully blessed and kept in your peace. 

Thank you for the millions of reminders that you give me. I love you now and forever my Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Priorities. Life is often a struggle to recognize priorities. 

I have many things for you in this life but it is up to you to determine what priority they will each have. It is pretty straightforward. If you put me first, when you put me first, everything else will fall into its rightful place. 

I love you sweet child, now and forever.

Rest...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for this day of rest. 

I pray for your healing power in me. I receive the healing that you provide. My faith is in you.

What God Said Tonight:

Rest and you shall be renewed. 

Rest and I will meet you in it. 

Rest and I will make you whole. 

Trust in me and rest.

Tomorrow is not promised, thankfully...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thank you for a wonderful and restful day. I am headed back into the stress tomorrow and I pray that your will is done. I pray that you take and use the circumstances for our good. I pray that you surprise me with the joy and peace that only you can bring. 

I love you lord and my trust is in you.

What God Said Tonight:

Tomorrow is not promised. You know that I have said that and typically people think about that meaning that you never know if you will be alive tomorrow. And, that is a meaning of it. But it is also true that as much as you think you know what tomorrow will bring, you honestly do not have a clue what it will bring. 

You cannot know because all things are possible with me. You may think you know what your schedule is and the challenges you will face but I could wipe all of that out with a blink. 

I love you so much more than you can imagine and I have such great things for your life. Know now that I am the sovereign God who reigns and I will see you in joy and in peace, no matter what you face. I love you now and forever.
