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.

Seeds of truth...

My prayer:

SO many things running through my mind tonight God, I am not sure where to start. I am feeling like we are on the edge of some really exciting and wonderful things and for once in my life, that just has me excited without any fear or worry! That probably doesn't sound like a big deal but it is for me. 

I think I have finally gotten to a place of true and deep trust that not only do you love me and only plan the best for me but that you truly are in charge. Everything that happens in my life, you have either brought or can take me through it. I think I have finally REALLY realized that there is nothing that you can't handle.

Now, I have been saying that for years but I have not been living that way. I have always had that deep seed of worry that things were not going to work out or that I was going to mess it up. For the first time, I think I finally really believe that you are the sovereign God that you have always told me you were and that you have always shown yourself to be.

I am sorry it took me this long. Thank you for not giving up on me. Help me to keep this truth deeply rooted in me.

What God Said Tonight:

The seeds have been planted in you for a long time. It just took the right care and the right environment to see them grow into the full understanding. That is how I almost always teach. 

Sometimes I will give you that "aha!" sudden understanding but most of the time, if you look, there was a seed planted in you long before that moment. It is the seed that grows that makes you able to recognize the aha moment for what it is, truth. 

I am the truth. I will teach you truth. You will live a life of truth if you live with me in you. I love you, now and forever. That is truth too.

The rest of the way...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. Thank you for all of the confirmations lately. Thank you especially for last night. Doubt and offence came knocking but you answered with such a definitive word, it was awesome, you are awesome! 

Thank you for all that you are working out in me right now. I definitely have a long way to go but it is good to be on the way. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

On the way is always the right place to be. There is no final destination as long as you are still on earth. There are only minor stops along the way. 

My way is always the right way to see miracles in your life. 

I love you daughter. Go rest and I will guide you the rest of the way.

God's kiln...

My prayer:

Another great day God! Thank you for this season of joy and freedom! It is hard to believe that I was so discouraged less than a week ago. You have given me insight, you have taught me, and you have filled me with your joy. Thank YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I have my pots, lined up in the kiln, ready to be fired. I have formed you and shaped you. I now will need to fire you to give you the strength you need. 

Do not be afraid of the fire. It is only a means to an end. I will be in the fire with you. I will see you through. Look to me in the fire and you will not burn. Do not fear.

God's car wash...

My prayer:

Hey most wonderful God. How are you tonight? I am very grateful that you got me through today. Two hours of sleep is not usually enough to keep a person going all day but we made it and even got a nice trail run in tonight! 

God, I am doing everything I know how to listen to your voice, to embrace what you are doing in my life and to offer this ordinary life as a offering to you. I really hope this is what you want. 

It is so hard to rest, not be so crazy with doing stuff for you, and just experience you instead. I absolutely believe this is where you want me right now but it is harder than it sounds. I will definitely need you constant help through this lesson.

Trusting in you awesome Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is kind of like being in a car wash right now. All I really need you to do is stay put, don't move, and let me get you cleaned up, polished up and ready to go. 

Every thing is in place to do everything we need it to do. the soap, the water, the polish, the scrubbers, and the hot air to blow you dry. It is all there in place and if you just wait for me to finish the process, you will drive away looking like brand new and ready to take on anything. 

Stay in place and let me do my thing. Love you daughter.

Life as a child of God...

My prayer:

Exhausted, but with a smile on my face tonight God. Thank you for a wonderful day with a couple wonderful kids. Nothing like seeing the world through kids eyes to help give you some perspective and some joy!

I have a lot more I want to say and talk to you about tonight God, but my fingers are too pooped to type. Love you!!

What God Said Tonight:

I love you my child. 

Remember today. Remember what it means to approach life as a child. Remember the many times today that you smiled, laughed, sang, and loved. Don't forget the discipline mixed in. Today was a great picture of how I want to live life with you. 

I want to be with you. I want to laugh with you. I want to teach you stuff. I want to sing with you. And sometimes, I have to discipline you a little. not harsh discipline but I have to teach you so that you grow. 

If we can spend every day together like that, you will live a full and worthy life.

The GOODness of God...

My prayer:

God you are good. In the middle of chaos, in the middle of the storms, in the middle of the desert, you are always GOOD. You are the one solid thing that I can always count on. Thank you for being you, always, all the time, forever and ever. In a world that is so crazy, I need that true north that never changes.

What God Said Tonight:

The life I have prepared for you is not all a bed of roses. It is not all joy. I would love to have planned that for you but that is not the reality of the world that you live in today. 

I can promise you that I will use every experience you have in your life and I will turn it to your good. No matter how heinous. No matter how messed up it seems at the time. I will turn it to your good. Listen for me and I will guide you through, no matter where you have landed yourself. No matter what circumstances you are in, if you listen for me, I will show you the way out. And, I will use every moment for your benefit and for my glory. 

That is how it works with you and me. We are a part of each other So, wherever and whenever you end up in a bad spot, I am in it with you. Whenever you are in a place that you feel lost, I am right there with you. And, I ALWAYS know the way out. 

I am never lost and I am never surprised at where we are at. I always know  the next step. So, trust me, lean on me, follow me and I will bring you through.

Yet...

My prayer:

Thank you for protecting me from the tornado and hail again Lord! Seems like I am sensing a pattern here. Twice in the last couple of days, you have kept me safe in really dangerous situations and I didn't even realize you were doing it until after it was done. 

I know that sometimes you speak to us through our circumstances. Are you trying to tell me something? Or, are you just being your wonderful protective Daddy self? 

I love you God, either way. You know today was rough for me. Maybe I can find some revelation in this that will pull me out of this funk? 

What God Said Tonight:

I will give you beauty for ashes. I will pour out a blessing you cannot contain. These are promise you know from me. I have never once said I will keep you from your assignment. I will keep you from my blessing. I will keep you from all you were created to be. I will NOT do those things. That would be completely out of my nature. 

You are not walking in your next assignment...yet. That does not mean there is not a  next assignment. 

I have you in waiting mode for a purpose and reason, several as a matter of fact. Some of them are related to you and things that we need to do, learn, change...yes. However, some of the reasons are not related to you at all. I need everything in place for this next season. There are pieces that have not been fully formed yet. There are timing issues. There is a lot to bring together for this next season. It is big. 

Stop letting your enemy whisper to you. Stop letting him fill you with doubt, guilt, condemnation. You know those things are not from me so when you hear them, you know you can ignore them. 

I love you. I am with you. Be encouraged daughter. I am keeping you from harm. I am preparing you for tomorrow. I am blessing you in the midst of it all. And, most of all, I am loving you, every second of every day. I am here, in you, forever.

Being led in the desert...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Guide me, direct me, teach me, make me a blessing, change me from the inside out so I can be more like you. These are not new requests but they are the ones that really matter I think. 

God, let's have some fun this weekend. Let's bring some joy to some people. Let's find some people to bless. 

I need your joy which is my strength. 

What God Said Tonight:

Hello beautiful daughter. My joy is here and waiting for you at any time in any circumstance. I know the end of every situation so I can bring you joy at any time. I know we win in the end. 

I know you get worried about the steps from here to there but you do not need to. I am fully in charge of your life. 

I am telling you this again, because I think you need a reminder. I am your Lord. I will take you into your future. I will guide you in all things. I will keep you protected and whole throughout it all. 

I know, for you, it is harder to believe that in these seasons of waiting than it is for you to believe it in the harsh times. There is something in you that knows in adversity, I will always show up. I have yet to see that same confidence in the seasons of waiting, in the desert wandering seasons. Those seasons have their purpose too. 

You are not wasting your time. You are not stuck. You are preparing and prepared. You are positioned. You are blessed. 

I love you sweet girl. Trust me to lead you in the desert as you trust me to lead you through the fires.

Distractions of life...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I am not really in the mood to say much again tonight. I am not sure what that is about. You usually can't get me to shut up. But, right now, you already know all my stuff. You know where I am at and you know where I am going. I am trusting you. So, there is not much left to say. 

I can listen though. I love to listen to you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have many words but I am not sure you have the ears to hear tonight. I am drowned out by the distractions of life I think.

It's ok. I understand. We are one so I already know your heart. We don't have to slay dragons every day. We just need to stick together.

I love you, have not left you. I will tell you more later. Tonight rest and clear your mind. My grace is truly sufficient for you.

Safe in the storm...

My prayer:

Awesome God, thank you for your protection today! Huge hail, tornadoes right on top of us, crazy storm and you kept me safe and dry right in the middle of it all. 

You take such great care of me everyday and I don't think I am grateful enough God. It is so easy to take you for granted when you are so wonderful all of the time. I am sorry for every and any time that I have failed to be truly grateful for you and all that you do God. I apologize for every time that I have gotten so caught up in what is "wrong" in my life that I have forgotten to thank you for all that is right in my life. 

Thank you for loving me and putting up with me God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a covenant with you daughter. I have a promise on your life. I have sacrificed for you and loved you. I will never give up on my commitment to you. 

I keep you safe because you are mine. I keep you whole because I have things for you to do. I keep you separate because I need you to be sanctified for your purpose. 

I have loved you always and will forever more. Your worst day will also be your best day, when you come home to me. I have you.

Tuesday, May 20, 2014

God's confidence in you...

My prayer:

I am not much in the mood to talk tonight God but I am always ready to listen. Tell me about you and your day. If there is anything you want to talk about, I will listen.

What God Said Tonight:

Your place is not in the background. You don't do well there. It is not a criticism and it is not a praise, It simply is. 

There are many qualities that I built into  each of my children and they all have a purpose. Your purpose, one of hem is to stand out. You are meant to be seen and to be noticed. You are not meant to fade into the background. I have made you this way and I don't wan tot see you hiding yourself under a bushel ever. 

I will, I am, showing myself through you. You must be out and in front for people to see me. 

I have other plans for you. Don't shy away from center stage. Don't worry about not being good enough. I have put in you every last thing you need to do every last thing I will bring to you. 

I am confident in you. I built you. I know what you are capable of. I know it better than even you. I love you.

100% trust in God...

My prayer:

Bad dreams, rotten day, but a pretty good night tonight God. Thank you for giving me peace after the dreams, getting me through the rottenness and for reminding me tonight that you always bring things around in the end. 

Life without you is unthinkable. Life with you is crazy but wonderful. 

Thank you for the adventure God. Don't let go of me, no matter what.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you. I am with you. I am with you. I am in you. I will never leave you. No matter what you go through, good bad indifferent, I am with you. You say you can get through anything if I am with you. I say I am always with you and will never leave you. 

I am the only true thing you can trust in 100%. I will never let you down. 

I am teaching you things now that I have wanted you to know for so very long. But you were not prepared until now. You were not open. But now, here you are and here we are and the next few days, months, and years are going to be an amazing time of you getting to know me, my will, my nature, better than ever. 

When you know those things, it is not hard to believe. It is not hard to trust. And, your future is secured. 

I truly do love you more than you can ever know. I will never leave you because I can't. One, I made a promise and I don't every break promises but two, I we are one now. There is no you without me.

Deeper roots...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the new insight today. Thank you for a Pastor who can teach an old dog like me something new. Thank you for being so big and amazing that there is always more to learn. I love that I can never get bored with you, unless I stop trying to know you better. You are so wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

I have said it all before but each time you listen with ears to hear, you will gain a deeper understanding. 

That is the key to our relationship now. Each new insight, each new day, we will go deeper. You will go deeper in me and I will go deeper in you. I have rooted myself in you and you have rooted your self in me. 

As the roots grow, so does the fruit. You will see great fruit from this deeper root. You will see an abundance of fruit. 

You will also see that this deep root will not die. You will only go deeper. You will not be uprooted. You will not be withered in the sun. You will not be frozen out in the cold. With roots like this, You can survive any hardship and any season. 

Nothing can take you out with your roots so deep in me. I will not allow it.

Love conquers cruelty...

My prayer:

Today was pretty wonderful God. Thank you! I am physically exhausted but emotionally energized by the generosity I got to see today. It is true that we don't always treat each other so well on this earth, but every once in awhile, I get to see something that restores my faith in people. Today was one of those days. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.

What God Said Tonight:

I sent my son and he had to be born in a stable with the animals. I sent my son and he had to be sacrificed by the very people that he came to save. You do not have to tell me about the cruelty in the world. 

The truth is though, my love will triumph over the pain every time. My love is stronger and more resilient than any pain, torture, or heartbreak. Nothing can out last my love. 

I have set my love in you. Some days, like today, it comes out and spreads around to others. Those are good days. I love you sweet daughter. You are mine and I am yours, now and forever.

God's purpose...

My prayer:

Wonderful worship tonight God. Thank you for the time, the space and the people, all focused on you. Thank you for moving, thank you for healing, thank you for wisdom, thank you for the word on Boaz. 

You always bring us everything we need. Even the stuff we don't realize we need. You are such a GOOD DADDY!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have come for a purpose, really just one purpose. To love you. 

People spend so much time wondering about my will and my purpose. I really just have the one will and purpose. To love you. 

I have a purpose and an assignment for you, that is true. I have a plan that involves more people getting to me and letting me love them.  But the underlying purpose, plan, and mission is for me to love you. 

Don't make it more complicated. It doesn't have to be any deeper than that. Me loving you. That is the core that everything else stems from. Get fully centered in my love for you and watch the world change.

The wave...

My prayer:

Mmmmmmmmmm. Yes God. You and me right here and right now. That is everything to me. You and me in this moment. The world swirls around with its problems and its challenges. But for this moment, I sit with you in the eye of the storm, at peace and in love with you.

What God Said Tonight:

A wave is coming that will carry you forward. A wave of love, a wave of purpose. I have you perfectly positioned to be picked up in the wave when it comes. I have you prepared to ride the wave when it comes. I have you unburdened for the wave when it comes. 

It is you and me, now and forever. I am in you. Remember that you don't have to find me, I am found. You don't have to conger me out of thin air. I am in you. I live and dwell in you. I love you more than you can know.

Art of God...

My prayer:

God, I love the people you have put in my life! At work, family, friends, everybody. You have surrounded me with truly excellent people and I am very grateful. It makes life a lot more fun to live it with people who are awesome. Some of the greatest blessings you have given me have been the people you have put in my life. Feeling mighty blessed!

What God Said Tonight:

Each person is like a piece of art. They are all made of similar but different mediums. They all look different and even have different intents, but they are all beautiful. Maybe not to all people all of the time, but they are all beautiful.

Uncomfortable...

My prayer:

Off. Everything just feels about 5 degrees left of center God. Nothing horrible, just not quite right. It is uncomfortable. I am itching for the next new thing, that is for sure. But this seems different. Something is off.  

God, I ask for wisdom. Help me to understand what is going on and what, if anything I should do. Thanks for always letting me bring you anything, no matter how vague or how weird. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I am in you and you are in me. Everything else is just details. 

Nothing is really off. You are only preparing to move, to change. You are sensing that things are not going to stay as they are and part of you is already ready. 

I didn't really create you to be comfortable all the time. Yes, we have seasons of rest and peacefulness. But more often, we will be working striving, changing. Now, you will have peace in those seasons as well, if you are centered on me and trusting in me. But you will not always be comfortable. 

Sometimes, being uncomfortable is exactly what you need to do the next thing. To move forward. To grow. Be excited about being uncomfortable. It is your signal that things are about to change, and I know how you like change. 

I love you daughter and do not fear. I am in this, I am in you, we are right on track.

God never leaves...


My prayer:

Hi wonderful God! Today was an interesting mix of mini challenges. Thank you for the moments of joy and blessing. Thank you for the kind words spoken to me today. Thank you for the young boy who went out of his way to hold open a door for me today. Thank you for the million little things that let me know that you think I am special. Thank you God that you gave me the eyes to see the little blessings. Thank you for showing me your love in the little things today.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you always. I tell you that a lot but I need you to remember it. 

I am with you in the big events of life and I am with you in the quiet silences of life. I am with you in joy and in pain. I am with you in every circumstance. 

I don't leave when it is hard and I don't leave when you get angry. I don't leave when you sin. I don't leave when you forget me. I don't leave you. 

I love when you focus on me and strive to know me better. But I am here whether you strive or not. Rest in me tonight and know my love will never leave you.

Sunday, May 11, 2014

The path to greatness...

My prayer:

Absolutely nothing profound on my mind tonight God but I want to hang out with you, hear what you have to say. I love you and I love your voice, your words.

What God Said Tonight:

I have started many great things that when they started, no one realized they were great. There are many things in your everyday life that seem insignificant to you now but will become the starting point of greatness. There are other things that you think are so important right now, but you will later realize that they were not important at all. 

I will lead and guide you if you listen. I already know the end of this. I know how it turns out. Let me guide you through, avoid the land mines, and keep you safe. Trust my timing. Trust my path. It does not always seem right from where you sit and from what you know but in the end, you will see the wisdom in it. 

Hang on daughter. Do not get discouraged. Do not give up. Stick with me and I will being you through. I love you so much. I will not let you down.

Saturday, May 10, 2014

Nothing is wasted...

My prayer:

Take me somewhere tonight God. I need a change of scenery. I need to get out of the same old same old, if even just for a few moments. I love you. Take me somewhere with you tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Where would you like to go? There are so many options. I can take you to the heavens and show you my life there. I can take you to the beginning and show you how it started. I can take you to the end and show you how it ends.

I can take you anywhere and anywhen you want to go; but, we will have to return here. To this place and this time because here is where I need you and now is when I need you here.

I do not waste moments and I do not waste lives. Those of you who give you life to me, I take that as a very serious responsibility. I keep it safe and well cared for because of who I am. 

Friday, May 9, 2014

Rest...

My prayer:

We made it God. There were several times this week that I was not sure I would, but here we are Friday night, in one piece and generally in my right mind! 

Thanks for bringing me through another tough week. I enjoyed the challenges. It definitely was NOT boring! 

Love you God and can't wait to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

I have really only one job for you for the next twenty four hours. Rest. Rest in me. Dwell with me. But rest. 

I need you full, not empty. I need you fueled and ready.

 For right now, just rest. I love you. I have so much for you. When you are drained and empty, I can't get to you everything I need to. 

Rest in my love. rest in my peace. Rest in the assurance that I am taking care of everything. I love you, go and rest.

Thursday, May 8, 2014

Damage...

My prayer:

People can be so complicated. God, so many of us go through this life and get so damaged. Then we take out our damage on each other. We don't even mean to half the time but we do. And then, we create more damage. 

God, you are the God of Restoration, of Healing. I pray for your Restoration and Healing to cover our lives, our hearts and our spirits so we can be blessings to each other and not damage each other. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A world without damage, hurt and pain, that sounds like paradise. I have for you a future that is pure good without pain. But that future is still a hands breadth away. 

In the meantime, you can practice loving each other. You can practice not damaging each other. You won't always get it right and sometimes you will get it really wrong; but, it will help prepare you for the paradise I have for you. 

Practice is not meant to be perfect. If you were perfect you would not need the practice. Practice love every chance you get. As you do, you will see less hurt, less pain and less damage in you and in the people around you. 

I know sometimes I sounds like a broken reeord but the answer truly is, almost every time, LOVE.

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

God with us...

My prayer:

My God. I want to hear your voice tonight. That is really all I want. Talk to me and let me know that you are here with me.

What God Said Tonight:

You know that I am always with you daughter. You never need to question that. I have come to be with you, now and forever. I have come in the form of the Holy Spirit for this time, this season. There will be a time and a season where I will come as Father and will I will come as Son. For now, I am here in Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit may not be seen easily in a physical way; however, it's presence, my presence could not be more real and could not be more powerful. 

I have come to you in this form to help you. I have  come to show you the way through this life. I have come to be with you. I couldn't stand being apart from my children any more. 

I had to find a way to be with you. So, I first came as Son and sacrifice. Then I came as Spirit and helper. Soon I will come in all of my glory. That will be a truly great day!

Tuesday, May 6, 2014

Illogical...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. Why do I sometimes want things that I can't have and would be no good for me? It really is illogical. Especially when I see all around me that what I think I want, would likely turn into a disaster. Usually, I am a pretty logical person but not right now. Not with this thing.

God help me to want the things that are good for me, the things that bring me closer to you, the things that are in your will for me. Help me to stop wanting anything that does not.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your God but I do not practice mind control. Your thoughts, your wants, are your own. I gave you free will for a purpose. Only you can make choices of what you will have in your life and what you will not. 

Some of those decisions will be based on your wants, but not all of them. Some of them will be based on what you know is best and what you want to be able to do and to give. 

I am with you no matter what you choose. No matter what you want. I am your Father and I love you. You cannot do anything that will separate my love from you. I want you to make smart decisions because your life will be better. But, I will be with you whether you choose the my will or follow your own desire. 

I am with you in it all. Think about where you are taking me. That might help you choose what is best. But no matter what, I love you.

Fixing it...

My prayer:

Hi awesome Father. Today was rough. I really just wanted to escape all day. Too many problems and not enough solutions. I hate it when that balance is off. I don't mind having some problems. I actually kind of enjoy fixing things. But when the problems outweigh the fixes 100 to 1, that is when I get discouraged. 

God, I am just going to put this whole mess of a day in your hands. You can fix the stuff that I can't. For every problem that I don't have a solution for or an ability to take care of, I give them to you God and ask for your help. 

I am not lazy. I want to do my part. But my part is not enough right now.

What God Said Tonight:

Just because there is a problem in front of you does not mean you must solve it. I know it is your nature, your personality to want to fix it. You want to make everything ok for everyone; but, you can't. And even if you could, you shouldn't.

I have shown you recently how your holding back allows others to come in and be a blessing. I want to do more of that. There will be plenty of times where I will need you to step in and help. Stay alert for those times. But stay alert for those opportunities that allow others the joy of giving and helping. 

I don't need a put together plan that touches on every point of every need. I know the needs. I know how I will meet the needs. Sometimes that will include you. Sometimes, that will include your neighbor or your friend. 

You are always welcome but sometimes your best way of fixing is to stand back and let me work it out. 

I am asking that you follow my voice to the letter. Not just what you think I would like; but, truly listening to my voice to hear what I need from you. It is a key difference. In the first, you are trying to make me happy. In the second you are partnering with me to minister to the world. 

Trying to make me happy will never work because I already am so happy with you. I could not be happier. You are covered in the blood of my sacrifice and are perfected. I cannot love you more, I can not be happier with you, there is nothing that will make me love you more. 

It is time.

Life is a dance...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day God! And to think, I almost missed it. I almost canceled my plans and isolated today but I am very glad that I didn't. 

Thank you for the wonderful friends you have put in my life. Thank you for the beautiful weather. Thank you for a beautiful hike. Thank you for good food and good wine. Thank you most of all for loving me and giving me such a great weekend of rest. 

I feel like I have been on vacation. Thank you for restoration. You are so good to me!

What God Said Tonight:

I have more for you. I have a rhythm of grace for your life. I have a natural flow for your life. When you are in it, I can bring you rest and restoration. When you are in it, I can make you more effective in everything you do. When you are in it, you will have great and overwhelming peace. 

Feel the rhythm, move to my beat, and find yourself in your purpose. 

Life is a dance and I will always be your partner. Remember to let me lead.

Effective help...

My prayer:

I have such a hard time when you tell me not to do something God. Not just when it comes to "sin." but also, times like tonight when I so want to help and you tell me to wait. I know that you only tell me that when there is a really good reason but it is so hard to not jump in and try to make it all better. I hate to see people I love struggle. If I can do something, I feel like I should and a lot of times you tell me to go ahead and help; but, sometimes you say wait.

Maybe it is part of my control issues. I want to fix things. I don't like when things are broken or when people are hurting and I feel such a drive to "fix" it.

God, help me to wait for your timing so that my "help" can actually help. God I pray that you speak really clearly to me on this so I don;t miss an opportunity to help.

Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am God all mighty, the God above all god's the creator of the universe, the maker of all things. I am the great I am. I am the savior of he world. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am all powerful. I am all knowing. I am. 

I am big enough to fix any problem. I am wise enough to know when fixing the problem at hand won't fix the larger issue. I love my people more that anyone else could. I will take care of each of them and make sure they get exactly what they need when they need it. 

I love that you want to help and I often have a place for a heart like yours. But sometimes, that is is not in the plan. Just because you do not help, does not mean that help is not on the way. Just because you don't fix it, doesn't mean I won't fix it. 

I have a perfect plan in this situation and in every situation. The power of your help lies in your listening and obeying my voice. I will make your help impactful. 

Helping for the sake of helping is empty and useless. Helping where I lead you will change people's lives. Focus on where I will take you and see the miraculous. 

Trust me to be me in every situation, even those you are not directly involved in.

Fresh start...

My prayer:

Awesome God. There are few things in life that are better than a fresh start. Today feels like a fresh start.

When I think about it, that is what you Jesus gave me and so many others. You gave us a fresh start.

Thank you Jesus for a fresh start. Thank you that your fresh start isn't a one time offer that fades away. Thank you that your fresh start is forever.

Feeling so blessed tonight God. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your continual and never ending fresh start. I paid every debt so you can start every day with a clean slate.

It is almost impossible for you to truly believe it. It is almost impossible to believe that it is true. But, it is. I will never turn my back on you. I will never hold you guilty. You have been forgiven, now and forever. You have been given a fresh start.

Do not waste it. Use it to live your life in your true purpose. Use it to bless the people around you.

I love you and always will. You are fresh and new, your life is fresh and new. Go forward into the endless opportunities of tomorrow.
