Change of plans...

My prayer:

Change of plans...that seemed to be the theme of today. But, that is ok. I know that you are in charge and you will work all things to my good. I am fully convinced of your goodness and your love for me and therefore, I am in perfect peace. 

I had a couple of moments where I wanted to try to take charge to work things out the way I want them to be but heard you clearly God to let it be. 

Trusting in you and your plan. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I got this.

Paths vs. rice...

My prayer:

God, I have never in my life felt so many "compulsions" to do things as I do right now. I am acting on them too and they seem to be working out. I just REALLY hope they are from you. I really hope that I am not going down paths that will result in pain, hurt, devastation. 

It has really just been in the last week or so that I have begun to recognize how much of my life, my decisions are based on the fear of messing things up. Life is really good right now and has been for awhile. I don't want to mess that up. But, I also believe that you have more for me, for us, and you don't usually get more or move forward without action. 

God, if I am not on your path, if I am making a path independent of you, PLEASE make it clear to me and help me to get on your path. If I am on your path or a path that you can at least work with, I pray for peace to know I should keep on keeping on.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is not a single path moving forward. Your life is like a pile of rice with many millions of components interacting at any given time. Your only destination is up. Your only destination is me. 

I can and do work with whatever decisions you make, whatever "paths" you take. I will guide you and lead you, I will nudge you  once in a while because I love you and because you are listening. But, truthfully, worry less about your decisions and spend more time focused on us, you and me. Every second you spend focused on our relationship will yield more than piles of "right" decisions. 

Give me your time, your attention, your thoughts, your heart, and I will give you the opportunities, the joy, the peace, the relationships, and the provision you need. You will have true shalom. nothing missing nothing lacking. That will be your life as you get your mind truly stayed on me. 

I love you daughter and I will take care of you, wherever you go and whatever you do. I promise.

Beginning...

My prayer:

Thanks for a wonderful day God. I had so much fun today! Start to finish, this was a great day with great people doing great stuff. How great is my God?! 

Love you God and I am sitting here tonight with only one thing missing, hearing your voice before I go to sleep...

What God Said Tonight:

I have many more days like today for you daughter. I have great joy stored up for you. I have great adventure planned for you. I have great power and anointing to pour out on you. 

Your life is only now beginning. Everything that you have done, experienced, and learned has led you to this time and place for a specified reason. My calling on your life has never been more clear and never more important. 

Keep your eyes firmly fixed on me. Keep you mind clear and ready to receive knowledge. Keep your heart whole and soft. Your kindness will heal your wounds. Your generosity will make your provision. 

Love you my daughter.

Truth...

My prayer:

And the two become one flesh. You described that in the wedding description and we, the church are your bride. We forsake our mother and father for our husband, you. God. I give myself to you with everything I have and with everything I know. I am all yours and love you with an intensity I didn't know was possible. 

In your presence is FULLNESS of joy. I am full in you Christ. I am healed because of you, I am saved because of you. I am who I am because of you. 

We have got to create better words to appreciate and worship you God. "Thank you" is much too paltry. Hallelujah! That comes closer than any other word. Must be why it is the same word in every language around the world. HALLELUJAH!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Life, I breathe my life in to you. I am the way and the truth and the life and I have come to set you free from all bondage. I am your salvation and your freedom. Do not lose sight of it. Do not lose sight of the truth that is my love for you. 

You are on a path that is vital for you and so may others. Do not get distracted. Do not allow yourself to be lured into the typical, the usual, the accepted ways. Be ye transformed. Do not be conformed to this world. I have set you apart. Will you accept that designation of being set apart and holy or will you soil it with returning to the world system? 

I know your heart, it is why I chose you. But it will take constant vigilance. Keep your eyes on me, my love and your salvation. Do not lose the simple truth of the gospel. Do not lose the basic truths. Do not listen to the voices of he world that would tell you that the system as it is is fine. Everything you need has already been done. But, the truth is it was done in me, not in the systems and religions that have been birthed since. 

My truth will transcend all of the other noise in religion. I will find ways to shine my truth. Keep an eye out. Love you now and forever.

Open window for knowledge...

My prayer:

I feel so silly about worrying. You tell me over and over to not worry, to pray, and you will take care of things and you did, you always do! 

I really do love this season you have me in God. I love all that you are teaching me. I love the people you are bringing around me to learn with me. I love the freedom that is in your love for us, for me. 

I can't wait to see what is next...

What God Said Tonight:

I have much to tell you and much to teach you. I have an open window right now to get you all of the information that you will need in the next season. It will be coming at you pretty fast because time is short but I won't overload you. 

Stay alert, stay nimble, and keep up. You are going to love the experience and the results. 

You are in me and I am in you, now and forever.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

My prayer:

Happy Birthday Jesus! I hope it was wonderful. I hope you were blessed by people celebrating the day you came to be born here on earth. 

It seems we are always fighting to put aside all of the things that have become associated with Christmas that do not have anything to do with you. They have become accepted and expected and it is difficult to not get distracted by them, especially because so many of them are really fun! 

I guess, when I think about it, that is a struggle with everyday life. It is so easy to distracted with the things of this world and get our focus off of you and your new covenant relationship with us. It takes real dedication and effort to be in this world and not of this world. I know I get it wrong more often than I get it right.

But, tonight, right now, I want you to know how grateful I am to you, not just for what you have done but how you did it. It hasn't always made sense to me why you saved us the way you did but I am beginning to understand more and more that the "how" of our salvation is a beautiful reflection of your love for us. Not just that you wanted to save us from ourselves but that you did it in a way that redeemed us fully and made us one with you. You will never leave us or forsake us because we are one with you. You cannot leave yourself. 

Thank you. I am humbled by your love. 

What God Said Tonight:

I had a wonderful birthday and was blessed by so many. Every knee shall bow and every voice proclaim that I am Christ. That moment, which is not so far way anymore, will be a glorious sound and a momentous event that will never be equaled. The angels in heaven will join in. The demons will have their say but all will acknowledge the Kingship and Lordship of Jesus Christ. 

Gold dust...

My prayer:

Best Christmas Eve EVER!!!!! You are so amazing! You are in us and we are in you. For the first time that seems REAL. We are one. You are the vine and we are the branch. 

We become "like Christ" not through our works but through our existence in you! Whoa!  

You came to earth to be born of a woman. We are to be  born again in the Spirit. We are one. Thank you God for the insight!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH IT IS CRAZY!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Moments like this are like gold dust. They are beautiful in themselves but are more beautiful as they come together. You have a piece of gold. As you connect with other children of mine, they have bits of gold. When you come together in me you combine your wealth and make a great and valuable creation. 

I love you my sweet daughter and I have many more nuggets of gold for you. You will continue to go from glory to glory from here. I am building on a foundation that is strong, holy and true. I have tired to build this before but the time was not right. What is happening in you is real and is for now and will bring in the final harvest of my people. 

You and me, we are one, now and forever. 

God's fuel...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. One of the reasons I enjoy this time together with you each evening is that it gives me a minute to reflect on the day and all of the wonderful things that you did throughout the day. Today was a day full of bad circumstances that you took care of and turned to my good. 

Don't get me wrong, I love those blessed days where everything goes perfectly. You are glorified in those days for sure. But I also love days like today where your hand on my life is so evident. No matter what life and the world threw at me today, you batted it back in its face. 

Thank you for being my Father, my protector, and my provider God. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

No weapon formed against you will prosper. It is my promise to you as my child, my beloved. 

I can't keep you from the dark circumstances that run rampant in this world but I can keep you from being defeated and overwhelmed by them. 

I celebrate every time you trust in me. Every time when the rotten comes against you and you trust in me, that is what makes me happy. That is what makes me full. Your love and your trust fuels me. 

It is the best way to grow my presence in your life, love me, trust me and see if I don't show up, every time. Love you now and forever.

Tears...

My prayer:

I shed a lot of tears today God. Some sad, some happy, some in sympathy. I am drained but somehow lighter for the experience. Crying is not something I do a lot of usually. And, you know that there were quite a few years when I couldn't cry, even when I wanted to. 

You talk about how you save our tears. You talk of them being precious to you. I don't think I have ever really understood that. But, when I think about today and some of the tears that I shared, there was something beautiful in the tears that she shed. Both in the honesty of the pain and in the cleansing of your comfort and healing. 

Thank you God for tears that heal. Thank you for tears that express things that our words cannot. 

What God Said Tonight:

You are precious to me. Everything about you is precious to me. The hairs on your head are precious to me. How could your expressions of joy and pain be anything but precious to me. 

You don't understand how much I love you. You don't understand how deep my affection for you goes. I am enamored of you. You are the most precious creation ever. You were made our image, the most high God. You are the wonder of the universe. The angels are in awe of you.

You see yourself through the veil of sin that satan tries to trow on you. One day you will see yourself as I see you, clean, righteous and perfect. In the meantime, know that my love for you is greater, bigger, longer, and more intense than you can know.

Wrong choices...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. We have been through a lot together over the years with a lot more to come. I learn more about you every day. I learn how much more amazing you are than what I thought. And yet I know that I have only begun to scratch the surface of who you are and how amazing you are. I may never be able to wrap my mind around your greatness. But I love trying.

The hard part of life is not living with you. The hard part is not making stupid choices. I had a conversation with a friend recently who had asked for help. He needed to understand the best path forward. I did some research and explained to him that there are two ways to go that would get him what he wants. There is a third way to go but it won't get him what he wants and very well could land him in a lot of trouble. No matter how many times I explained the options, no matter how much detail I gave him of why he did not want to go the third way, all he kept talking about was going that third way.

How often do we do that with you God? How often have I done that with you. You lay out the options for me and explain why the good choices are good and why the bad choices are bad. But I get a path set in my head and think it is the only way to go. 

God I apologize for my hardheadedness and for a stubborn heart. I apologize for turning my back on your good advice and making choices that were not the best. I love you and I ask that you never stop guiding me, never stop showing me the best way to go. Help me God to hear you when I get stuck.

What God Said Tonight:

A hard head I can deal with, a hard heart is another matter. When you harden your heart toward me, that is when I can't get through. Keep your heart open to me and I will always guide you.

Remember that even when you do make the wrong choice, I am still your God, I am still in charge and I can still turn all things to your good.

We are in this together, now and forever.

Savor the moment...

My prayer:

Seated firmly in your love tonight God and there is truly no better place in the world. Nothing can separate me from you. Nothing can come between us. You won't let it and I am so grateful. 

I am yours and you are mine, forever and ever. There is no part of me that I will withhold from you. All I am, good and bad, I give to you. I give you my good as a token, a tithe, of the good that you have put in me. I give you my bad that you can redeem and transform it into good. 

I am all yours God with all humility and intense thankfulness of your acceptance of me.

What God Said Tonight:

Dance with me tonight. Sing with me. Be with me as one and celebrate. I love you and you love me and for at least this moment, you are fully aware of it. This moment is precious. 

I live for these moments of clarity with my children when  you know my love. My love is always in you, my love is always around you, but it is moments like this, when you know it, those are the moments I cherish the most. 

Stay with me awhile tonight that we can enjoy this moment. Don't rush off. This is worth savoring. 

Dreams come true...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't know what to talk about tonight. 

I have definitely been in survival mode this week, just trying to get through. Plenty of challenges but you are leading me through them all. You are providing for all of my needs, just when I need it, cause that is the kind of amazing Father you are. 

I really am ready for this new season. I want to do something big with you God. I want to make an impact that will ripple through all eternity. I want to see people's lives dramatically changed for and by you. I can almost taste it, it is so close. 

Anyway, I should stop rambling and hear what you have to say. Your thoughts are always better than mine...

What God Said Tonight:

Dreams come true. I have put a dream and a vision in your heart to prepare you for the challenges that will come against it. I have shown you a sliver of what is possible to help you through the times when it seems impossible. I have shown you the hope in the future to get you through the struggle, the attack of today. 

I am your hope and your future. Once day, you will trust me enough to know that is true, no matter the situation and no matter what you see. For now, I will continue to give you peeks into the future. Hold onto those to hold you up on the days when there seems to be no more hope. 

I love you and we do have big plans. Many more souls will know me when we are done. 

What to get Jesus for Christmas...

My prayer:

It is almost time to celebrate your birthday! Christmas sure is coming up fast this year. Is there anything in particular that you want for your birthday Jesus? Anything I can do to show my love for you?  

When I think about it, I hate when people ask me what I want for my birthday or Christmas. I guess it would be better for me to come up with something based on what I know about you. Then it is more of a "surprise" and expression of our relationship.

Hmm, I bet you would like something that demonstrates love. I bet you would like something that shows love to someone who isn't expecting it. I bet you would like something that results in someone choosing to follow you so the angels have an reason to celebrate. 

That all sounds like stuff you would like. I better get "shopping" for those opportunities. There is not a lot of time left.

What God Said Tonight:

Time is definitely running out in more way than just one. 

I love you daughter and I love that you have your heart and mind set on giving. There is such great blessings in giving. You will never be sorry or regret giving. It is always the right thing to do and it is always something that I will bless. 

Give and I will give it back to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over. It is my word, my promise and it is truth. 

Let's find some people to love on...

Sickness...

My prayer:

Sickness stinks God. I am really tired of sickness going after us. You paid for it all on the cross. You took all sickness unto you. It has not right to hit us too. 

One of the things I hate the most about sickness is that it makes it hard to think about or do anything else. It makes it hard to do anything except focus on the symptoms. 

It is hard to be kind when you are sick. It is hard to show others love when you are sick. It is hard to pray when you are sick. Sickness overshadows us. 

I come against sickness tonight God and I pray that you loose your Holy Spirit power in every situation of sickness in your people, tonight! It is by your stripes that we are healed. Amen.

What God Said Tonight:

Sickness is not of me and is not a part of my plan. I never intended for sickness to be in the world. 

I never bring sickness on you but, I am always the way to healing. I am always the key to returning to your place of protection and health in me. 

My dear, go rest. Tomorrow is coming soon. Sleep in peace.

Becoming love...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father, Amazing Savior, Holy Spirit Helper! I got to share your full grace and love with someone today and it was AWESOME!!! I mean, I think I did an ok job explaining it. She seemed to understand at least the "no guilt" aspect of it. Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking to her spirit and making my simple words mean more. 

For the first time, I think I really understand the joy of evangelism. I mean, I have shared you with a lot of people and I love seeing them grow in their relationship with you. But the basic message that you love us, period end of story, no ifs and or buts, I have not realized the pure joy of sharing that with people before. Maybe because I haven't really understood it before or known it my heart before. 

Whatever the reason, I LOVE IT! I LOVE YOU! Can't wait to tell more people!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Love. The easiest and most complicated thing in the world.

Love is patient and kind. Love does not boast. It is not self serving. You have read about love, you have known moments of love.

I am taking you into a season where you will become love. You were made in my image. I am love. You are about to discover your true identity in me, love.

It is a wonderful way to be and to live. You are going to "love" it!

Blood...

My prayer:

So many questions running through my head tonight Rabbi Jesus. I wish I spent more time actually figuring out this life and less time trying to figure it out. Although, truth is that the quest is fun too. 

Thanks for putting some really wonderful people in my life who are willing to live out this quest with me. 

God, I am hungry for more truth and deeper relationship with you. More is never enough when it comes to me and you. 

What God Said Tonight:

Blood makes the difference between me and you.  A blood covenant is not some thing to be taken lightly. You don't have blood covenants anymore so it is hard for you to understand. 

There is blood spilled for you and that makes the difference. You will never want, you will never have to live without my presence. you will never live without my love. You will never live without my complete forgiveness and redemption because of the blood spilled. 

Blood is the line that separates you from the world, from judgement, and from the need to be perfect in your works. The value and the purpose of the blood is not well understood but understand that it encompasses all that is good between us. 

It is the symbol of our love, the symbol of your redemption, and the payment for your eternal life with me. I love you daughter and my blood covenant is renewed, refreshed in you tonight as you recognize the value of it.

True revelation...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. What a difference a day makes! Thank you for rest and rejuvenation. Today was wonderful.

I love what you are teaching me right now. I love that you are allowing me to question...everything and bringing me to such pure truth. I also love that you are letting me go down every path, knowing that some will not be truth and when I go down those, you keep me safe and show me the truth through the journey anyway. 

YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

True revelation, life changing revelation comes through testing, and experiencing, not through listening to someone talk. Every real thing that you have learned in your life has been as a result of an experience. 

Now, knowledge, hearing truth from someone else is important, but understanding and change comes though your experience. 

Remember that as you teach others. Remember that you can impart knowledge but you cannot give them the experience to create understanding. Only I can do that. 

I love you and will give you the experiences you need to gain the understanding that will take you to your next level, every time.

Rest and recover...

My prayer:

Surviving today was a miracle all in itself God. Thank you for all that you did today. Thank you for a Sabbath tomorrow to recover. LOVE YOU!! What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

My sweet daughter. I appreciate your faithfulness and your sacrifice to come and spend time with me tonight. I value our time together more than you will ever know. I love you more than you will ever understand. Now, go rest, recover and we will talk more tomorrow. I have need of you tomorrow. Tonight, get rest I love you and I will cover you as you sleep.

The God of time...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. Thank you for so many answered prayers in so many lives this week. You showed up at the last minute in many of them but you showed up which is what matters. 

I have heard a lot of teaching on why you tend to show up at the last minute. Builds our faith, stretches our trust, makes it clear that you are the one who did it so all glory goes to you, etc. And, I guess that makes sense, but is that all of it? So often you sweep in and take care of the situation at the last second, and in Lazarus case, what seemed like too late. 

While we are freaking out, playing out all the "what ifs..." you already know when and how you are going to take care of it. I want to get to that place of trust that I know, even when it seems like you are going to be late, that you already know how and when you are going to step in and it will be perfect. I know that in my head but I need to trust it in my heart more. 

Love you God and thanks for always taking care of us.

What God Said Tonight:

Time, you worry too much about time. 

Time is relative. I can stretch time and I can rush time. I can even stop time and have, once for a whole day. Time is not something that should rule you. Time is something that I rule. And, if I am in charge of time, telling it when to go and when to stop, you can know that I will always be "on time." How can I ever be late when time is in my hands and time is under my control. It can't happen. 

That is why you can trust that I will always show up t the perfect right time. It is not luck. I pick the time, every time, and it is perfect. 

Love you daughter. Go rest.

Step out...

My prayer:

Dear and wonderful Father. I pray and ask tonight God that you remove anything in me that is blocking what you have for me and what you want to do in me. I desire that there be no barriers between us God. I desire to have and be everything you want for me. Not only for myself but so that I can be a greater blessing to others. So I can help others to have and receive all that you have for them. 

God, we your children have lived without our inheritance for long enough. Shine a light on the hindrances. Shine a light on the things that are blocking us from you. And then, obliterate those blockages. 

In Jesus name I ask God. Amen.

What God Said Tonight:

Everything is telling you to go. Go forward, do, move step out. Everything is a green light for you right now. Do not hesitate to act. Do not hesitate to trust your instincts. They are being shaped and guided by my Spirit. 

I have brought you a very long way and we have a long way to go still. We will get to our destination. We will accomplish everything set out for us. You can trust your inner voice to know the timing. 

I have more than one "right" path for you. Only one path to me but many paths to your destiny. All are wonderful. I will walk with you whichever path you choose. But it is time to step out and move out. I will show you.

Hiding promises...

My prayer:

Faithful and reliable God. You did it again. You took a situation that was meant to harm me and turned it around to my benefit. I LOVE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT!!! I tell you I think I can hear in the spirit realm the "Neeneer neeneer neenerr!" right in the devil's face and I LOVE IT!

You are awesome. How you take care of me and all of your kids is amazing. 

Thank you for being my Father God!!

What God Said Tonight:

You are welcome my child. I take my covenant with you seriously. I take my promises to you seriously. 

You should expect to see my word and my  promises activated in every area of your life and when it isn't, you should seek out the reason why, press in to find where the promise is hiding. 

I love you now and forever.

More of God's presence...

My prayer:

Hungry for your presence tonight God. Thirsty for your Spirit. Wanting to be with you, hang out with you, listen to you. 

In your presence is fullness of joy. In your presence is healing, In your presence is all that I need. 

I need more of you though. I am not full. I am left wanting more tonight. To pray is not enough, to worship is not enough. I don't know what is enough but I need more of you. Teach me how to draw closer to you God. Show me how to seek you at a new level that I can be filled with you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am all around and I am in you. Listen and you will hear my voice. Reach out and you will touch me. Think about me and I will fill your thoughts. Search the corners of your soul and you will find not a single empty spot. You will find me. 

When you invited me into your life, into your heart, I accepted the invitation and I have not left. I will never leave unless you tell me to go. 

Rest in me. I know you are anxious and on edge, ready for the new season. It is coming. You won't miss it. You don't have to be anxious with me. I love you. I am on your side. There is nothing I want more than to be in greater and deeper relationship with you. 

Tonight, for a while, just be quiet with me. Don't pray, don't sing, don't do anything except experience me. I will show you the fullness of me.  

Glory...

My prayer:

Wonderful day God! I got to be a blessing, I got to be blessed. Now that is a win win situation! 

Tonight I find myself craving a new level of intimacy with you. I want to know you even more. I want to experience you in a way that I have never before experienced you. You are bigger and more than I can ever imagine so I know there is more of you to know than what I have known so far,

I need you God. Not for you to provide me anything, or to fix anything. I just need you. I need to feel you. I need to know you. I need to experience you more than ever before. I love you and I need you.

What God Said Tonight:

Seek me and you will find me. When you reach out to me, I will always be there. 

I have my glory raining down on you. I have my glory surrounding you. Many have begged to see the glory of God. I will reflect my glory in you and in your life. You will shine out my glory to the world. You, my lighthouse, will reflect my glory. 

Glory is not something that can be defined in words, at least not completely. glory is something that can only be experienced. Glory, my glory changes everything it touches. It will change you. 

As you experience and reflect my glory, you will know me like never before. You will understand things about me that go beyond words. We are at that place in our relationship that words are not enough. We are at the place where there are unspoken truths that are known between us. Not having words to describe it does not make it less real. In some ways it makes it more real. More powerful. 

I love you daughter, stay with me for a while tonight and let me love you. 

Glory and mercy...

My prayer:

Awesome God. To pray about anything except for the people without shelter from this bitter cold seems selfish and wrong. No matter what is going on or not going on in my life, it pales in importance compared to that. 

I pray and ask that you take care of each person without a warm home tonight, find them shelter, keep them safe, help them please God. I pray as well God for a warm up. This weather is too cold. It is too dangerous. 

Thank you God for always listening and always helping, no matter the prayer or the situation. You are my God, my Lord and everything that I need.

What God Said Tonight:

The cold has a purpose but it's purpose is nearly fulfilled. 

Everything on earth has a purpose, even those things that seem not to. I have a purpose and a plan for everything and will work everything to the good of those who love me, my children. I am God and I can use any circumstance for good. 

I have heard your prayer and my hand is on the people in need tonight. I have angels in heaven and on earth with special assignments. They will see the glory of me and the mercy of me in the acts of those around them tonight. 

I love you daughter, rest in the peace of knowing that even in this, I am in charge and will bring them through.

Awareness...

My prayer:

What a great day of walking with your hand and guidance on me all day! Thanks for showing me what to say and do all day. Thanks for keeping me protected in some kind of treacherous situations. Thanks for showing me opportunities to be a blessing. And thank you for working out the timing of everything so perfectly. U = WONDERFUL!

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you always but I am glad you were so aware of it today. 

It makes it so much easier to help you when you have me tuned in during the day. When you keep you ears and your eyes open, when you keep your awareness on me, that is when I can really show you the good stuff I have for you. 

I have so many blessings stored up for you. It is a good thing that we have an eternity together. Otherwise I would not have time to give then all to you. We could have a million Christmases and birthdays together and I would still have more blessings to give. I love you.

Expectation to execution...

My prayer:

I have nothing on my mind except to hear from you tonight God. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

It is time. Your new beginning is here. Your new season is here. 

You have been waiting and ready and I tell you it is here. You will see it for yourself soon, but trust me when I tell you it is here. You will see changes and opportunities. 

You will notice a shift from expectation to execution. You will see the change within you before you see the change in the circumstance. 

I love you and I am with you every step of the way. Now and forever my child.

The work of peace...

My prayer:

I love your peace God. It makes all the difference. With your peace, I can stand any pressure. I can keep my cool under any attack. Your peace that doesn't make sense but makes it possible to live in this world without going completely nuts. 

Thank you for your peace. Thank you for wonderful friends who pray for your peace to surround me. 

What God Said Tonight:

Peace surrounding you, peace blanketing you, peace protecting you and peace transforming you. Peace has a lot of jobs in your life and when you allow it to do its work, it will change your life. 

Peace is meant to work for you. It is meant to support you and keep you above the fray. Peace is a platform that allows you to sit above the madness and the sinful nature of man, protected and unaffected. It does not blind you from evil but it keeps you safe and at a distance from it. 

I am your peace and I am with you always.

BAD day...

My prayer:

Awesome God. You know I don't say this often but today was pretty rotten. The only positive things I can come up with is it was warm, it is over, and I get to end the day hearing your voice and spending time with you. But, everything else, ughhh and ickkkk! I ask for encouragement and a dose of your joy tonight God.

What God Said Tonight:

One day, there will be no sin, no evil in the world. One day there will be no pain and death. One day, you and I will live together and walk together with no distractions. That day isn't here yet by I promise it is coming. 

On a day like today it is more important than ever to remember your time on this earth is brief. Your life here has a purpose but your eternity with me will make up for the struggles of today. 

I love you. I am with you. I will strengthen you through the night. 

Tomorrow does not have to be like today. Tomorrow is a new day, with new mercies, and new favor. Today is over and never has to happen again. I love you, now and forever.

Possibilities...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am feeling the itch. I am ready for the next big thing, whatever that is. You know me, I get easily bored and I am there. 

I am ready for the new season. I am ready to move forward. I am ready for new. One of the things about you that I love so much is that while you never change, you also always have something new for me. 

Thank you for being bigger than anything I can imagine. What's next for us?

What God Said Tonight:

Your future is full of choices. I am with you and I will help you discern the consequences of those choices. I will help you see which ones will most likely result in something that you would like. I will lead and guide you always because I am yours and you are mine, now and forever. 

But, the choices are now and always will be yours. I created you with the ability to choose. And while I know that you sometimes see that as much as a curse as it is a gift, it makes you free. It gives you the ability to shape your life. 

I know that you will always be with me and me with you. We will always partner to do great things. Which things we do together, that is up to you. 

See the possibilities, talk them over with me, and then make the choice you want. I am not your dictator, I am your Father and it is my greatest desire to see you continue to grow, mature, and be happy. I love you.
