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.

Ripples...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. What are you up to? You have told me you have a plan and it is good. I believe you. I am searching after you and that plan. And then, a dream I thought was dead, suddenly has new life! Is this somehow the plan, the opportunity? If so, that is amazing and wonderful. And, I will need you to show me what the next step is. 

I love you Lord. I pray your will is done in every single thing.

What God Said Tonight:

The stars sparkle and shine long after their purpose is passed. You will see the after effects, the ripples of your life and your actions for a very long time. It is why your actions today matter so much. 

What you do today will shape tomorrow and many tomorrows after that. And, not just for you. Those ripples go out in the world and affect more people than you will ever know. You can ride this ripple for a bit. 

This is not quite the opportunity I was telling you about but it is a part of what we will do. It is the training ground and the launch pad. I do have great plans for you my child and I will love you forever.

God's glory...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am dreading tomorrow a bit. But even as I say that, I recognize that I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. I know what I fear it will bring but so often, what I fear never comes to be, especially when I turn it over to you and your will.

So, that is my prayer Lord, I pray that your will is done. I pray that whatever happens tomorrow, that your will is accomplished. If that is the outcome, then I can rest and be satisfied. 

I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I have never seen a better time than now to trust in me. I have never known circumstances that needed me more than now. It is an exciting time for the glory of God to be present and evident in everyday life. 

That being said, there are challenges and tragedies and fear. It is in those times when my glory and power shines all the more. White looks whiter when it is on a black background. The color white does not change, it is as white as it ever will be. But when put up to a black background, it appears that much whiter. 

My glory is as great now as it was in the beginning but in the face of the circumstances of today, it appears that much more glorious. I never revel in the tragedy but I will always use it for your good and for the glory of the Kingdom. 

I will see you rise above the circumstances. I will place you above the challenge and the fear and I will see you victorious. You will shine my glory in this world and in this circumstance. 

I love you my daughter, now and forever.

Opportunity...

 

My prayer:

What a fantastic weekend God. Thank you for the peace, the new experiences, and most of all, the chance to minister to a dear friend. Seeing you get the glory and all that you are doing in her life was pure joy. It has been a while since I have had an opportunity to minister like that and it was truly wonderful. 

Now, I am headed back into the work week and will need your help with whatever challenges that brings. But for now, for tonight, I just want to hear what you have to say.

What God Said Tonight:

Never has there been such a time of opportunity as this. A lot is happening and it can be overwhelming but if you keep your eyes and your spirit open to my leading and my voice, I will bring you into those situations and experiences where you can truly have an impact. An impact for the glory of the Kingdom of God. That is where that experience of joy and fulfillment really comes on strong. 

My Kingdom has come and is gathering my people. 

I love you my sweet child. You are mine and I am yours forever more.

Peace and Joy...

 

My prayer:

A truly wonderful day Lord, thank you! I wonder sometimes at the joy that you give me. In the middle of a world gone crazy, you give me joy and peace. It seems impossible when I think about it but it has been true so often. Thank you for that amazing gift. I pray, above everything else, that your will is done. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

There is nothing to worry about when your future is with me. I have given you eternal life with me. I have promised to always take care of you. I am your peace. My presence in you gives you that peace. 

The joy, that's just blessing. I love my children and I love to see you blessed. 

We have more to see and do tomorrow but it will be with the peace that I am in charge and will guide your steps. It will be with the blessing of joy scattered throughout. 

I am yours, now and forever my child.
