Removed the threat...

My prayer:

Not much to talk about tonight God. Thank you for getting me through day 2! It was touch and go a couple of times but we made it. Thank you for peace in chaos. Thank you for putting each thing in front of me as it needed to get done. Thank you for the opportunity to help some people in the middle of everything. 

Love you! What's on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

I have taken the heat out of the fire that was intended to burn you. I have removed the threat. No weapon formed against you will prosper. 

You are my child and I will protect you. I will not leave you in the open, unprotected and vulnerable. 

There are many challenges days ahead but I have leeched out the danger. 

As Meschach, Daniel and Abednego stood in the fire and were not burned, so shall you be. Love you love you love you!

Birth pangs...

My prayer:

Woohoo! Day 1 of crazy week is done and I survived. Thank you Jesus!! Only 4 more days to go. 

Thank you for joy God. Your joy is so wonderful. In the middle of chaos, your joy can just walk right in and give a whole new perspective. 

Your gifts are really so wonderful, joy, peace, love, healing and more. You give the best gifts! Just sitting in your awesome tonight God. Can't wait to hear what you have to say.

What God Said Tonight:

I have anointed my servants. I have prepared my children. I have seen my gospel preached throughout the world. The time is nearly here. The time to move into the new season that will end the tyranny of satan on this earth. It is so close, you should be able to see it all around you. 

Do not get afraid. Never forget that these times are known, predicted and expected. It is the necessary birth pangs needed to birth the new heaven and the new earth where we will live together for all eternity. 

The time for a fully restored relationship with me, in my Kingdom, is at hand. 

Ah, my precious child. I would that you would know my love for you. I would that you could know the depth and the breadth of my love for you. 

Turn up the heat...

My prayer:

So beautiful. Beautiful day, beautiful love, beautiful you. You make life worthwhile God. You make life beautiful. 

I ask for your help this week. There is so much I need to do and so much I want to do (and not all of those are the same things). I can do all things through you (which you have shown me over and over). So, I ask for your help again. Give me the strength, the peace, the wisdom to do what needs to be done. Make me a blessing to those around me.

Thank you for always being there for me, always willing to help, always loving me. You are the reason I get out of bed each morning. You are the reason...well for everything. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have placed a fire in you. It has been turned down to the pilot light for this last season because I needed to heal some things in you. But now is the time to turn up the heat. 

You are going to notice dreams being resurrected. You are going to notice a drive that you have not felt for awhile. You are going to notice that as you act with the fire in you, that things happen, things change, that the power and glory of your God is evident in all that you do. 

I will give you all that you need for this coming season. You are not in it alone. You my child are never alone. 

All that you need...

My prayer:

Thank you God! I needed rest and you gave me rest. I needed time to corporately worship you and you provided a time and a place. I needed an opportunity to minister and bless someone and you provided a beautiful opportunity. You provide for all of my needs! What a wonderful Father you are!

What God Said Tonight:

I am. I am all that you need. I say that not in the sense that with me, the rest of your needs go away. I say it in the sense that I have all that you need within me. 

I have the power and the wealth to give you everything you will ever need. My wealth is not just of rubies and diamonds, but I also have a wealth of knowledge, love, peace. 

I have ALL that you need and I will provide it to you my child when you need it. 

I love you and taking care of you is one of my favorite things to do.

Search in faith...

My prayer:

You are worthy of all praise. You are Holy. You are Mighty. You are Worthy! You are my everything. 

I may not know what tomorrow, or even tonight, may bring but I know as long as you are with me, it is enough. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

You have been chasing rest all week and not catching it. tonight, you shall rest. Tomorrow, you shall rest. I will give you rest. 

You have been searching for open doors and new opportunities. I have opened doors and the opportunities are here. 

You have been searching for even closer relationship with me and you have found it. 

Search in faith and I will always help you to find that which you search for. I love you too my sweet child.

Enjoy...

My prayer:

Thank you God for laughter! There are few things better after a long and stressful day than being able to laugh until tears come out of your eyes. Thank you for joy. Thank you for fun. Thank you for a life that is not all struggle and striving; but a life with some times to just enjoy and have fun!

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Enjoy your life every second that you can. There is coming a time where those moments to enjoy are few and far between. But, as long as you are children of the Most High God, there will always be something to enjoy. Always something to celebrate. There will always be a victory. Either just won, about to be won, or in the midst of being won. There is always a place to find joy in me. 

Enjoy the sunrise, I made it for you. Enjoy the sunset, it shines for you. Enjoy the breeze, it blows for you. I created the world for my children. Enjoy every minute of it. 

Why pray?

My prayer:

God, I love living life with you. 

Thank you for your help today. Not that long ago, if something like that happened to me, I would have really lost it. But, just a few minutes to walk away and ask for your help, you gave me peace and direction and you worked it all out. Like you always do. 

Thank you for taking such good care of me God. Each day with you is better than ten lifetimes without you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help in time of trouble. You are my child, of course I will help you whenever you need it. 

I won't jump in without your permission though. I need you to ask, to invite me in. I created you with free will and I will respect that will. I will respect you. But, when you decide you want my help, I am never  more than a prayer second away from being there, helping you, and working everything for your good. But, I do need you to ask. 

I need you to ask for others as well. That is why your prayers for others are so important. Especially your prayers for people who can't pray for themselves, for whatever reason. Maybe they are too sick. Maybe tey are too hurt, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe they don't know how or that they can. Maybe they don't even know me. In those cases, in those times, when you intercede and pray for them, it opens the door for me to go in and help. 

Don't forget to pray. Don't forget to ask. It is VERY important. 

I love you.

Holy Spirit knowledge...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. The older I get, the more things I know about but the less sure I am that I am right about anything. Even you. I know more about you today than I ever have before, but each new thing I learn about you makes me realize how incompletely I knew you yesterday and how much better I will know you tomorrow. 

Maybe that is part of where maturity comes from? The understanding that what I know today is more than I knew yesterday and less than I will know tomorrow and that all that I will ever know is nothing more than a splinter of what you know.

God, thank you for all that you have taught me. I pray and ask for discernment in the situations and challenges that come against me and the people I love. I ask that this discernment be out of your knowledge, not mine, so that it is truth and can actually help. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am the keeper of all knowledge and the author of truth. I can only speak truth. I am the source of all true knowledge. And, I have sent you my Holy Spirit to share that truth with you and to help you. 

The Holy Spirit is my way of sharing my knowledge and the truth with you on a daily basis. It is my way of communicating with you while you remain on this earth. Without the Holy Spirit in you, you are handicapped and fighting the fight of faith with less intelligence and less weaponry than what you should and need to have. 

Always allow my Holy Spirit to be active in you so you have all of the benefits of my knowledge as you face this world and all of its challenges. Let me help you. Don't shut me out and don't ignore my promptings. They are ALL for your good. 

Love you sweet chid. I will teach you all that you need to know in the season that you need to know it. We are in this together.

God's voice...

My prayer:

Today wiped me out God. All I want to do tonight is to hear your sweet voice and then go to sleep. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

My voice is never silent but you have to listen to hear it. I don't shout and I don't force my way into your thoughts. I am always available but you have to invite me in, you have to pause to listen, you have to be willing to hear me. 

I don't require so much of you but I do require your belief and your time. 

Worship...

My prayer:

All glory to and for you God. I know we/I say that all the time but for some reason, tonight I mean it in a way I never have before. All glory and honor to you God! You are so truly incredible.

The purity of your love is beyond my ability to fully understand. Thank you for softening my heart. Thank you for healing me so that I can find that lost love in me. Thank you for being love and showing me/us the sweet peace and strength that comes from truly being loved.

God, help me to learn to love like you do. Help me to receive the love you have for me. There is nothing better than your love. There is nothing more wonderful than you. Thank you for loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

Mmmm, what a sweet fragrance your worship is. I want you to know how much your worship and love means to me. I still everything so I can listen. I stop the world so I can hear you.

I love you my child and I will never stop. My love is yours and cannot be separated from you, ever.  

Season of joy...

My prayer:

My mind is wandering so much tonight God I am having a hard time focusing on what I want to talk about with you. Everything seems so good and new and wonderful. It is fun just living life right now. 

I would like to somehow bottle this experience so I can pull it out every time I get down, every time things get boring, every time life seems too hard to put up with. I want to protect it. 

This last season was pretty tough and this season more than makes up for it...can we stay in this season for awhile? 

Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

The season you are in, the season of joy, the season of healing, the season of restoration is one that will last the rest of your life. You will always be in need of healing and restoration as long as you are living in a world whose goals and intentions are contrary to my Kingdom. 

I have these pockets of joy scattered around you and your life. They are precious and should be cherished but I have plenty of them. You will not run out of joy, as long as you are looking to me for joy. You will not run out of strength as long as you are looking to me for strength. You will not run out of provision as long as you are looking to me for your provision. 

The best, and only way to prolong this season is to look to me to renew, refresh, restore, and fill you with the joy and love that I have for you each day. Open wide to receive, I am pouring it in to you right now.And, I have plenty.

God's love...

My prayer:

Such a beautiful time with you and friends tonight God. I love the people you put in my life. I especially love spending time in your presence and loving you. God I pray for your love to go out over the world tonight like a big wave, blanketing your people. Let them get a glimpse of what they mean to you and how much you love them.

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I love the best and the worst in you. 

My love is not dependent on your value. My love gives you value. My love is not determined by your actions, my love directs your actions. 

My love for you always has been and always will be. I will NEVER stop loving you. I will ALWAYS love every part of you. I don't only love the good, easy parts. I love all of you, all the time, even when you don't love me. 

You are my precious child and I will never forget you. I will never leave you behind. 

MORE...

My prayer:

Amazing Lord! I feel like the volume has been turned up on my life. Everything is more. More joy, more trust, more power, more pressure, more opportunities...I LOVE MORE!!!! So exciting and I feel so alive! Love this, love you, love more!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your everything and more. I will always have more for you. I never run out. 

I never run out of love. I never run out of joy. I never run out of power. I never run out of patience. I never run out. 

I am the well that never ends. I am the the son that never sets. And all that I am, and all that I have is yours, my precious and wonderful child.. I love you.

Forever with God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I think one of the best things about this new level of healing that you have given me is that things that use to stress me out just don't really matter that much any more. I KNOW that I can trust you to work everything out. 

This is such a better way to live! Knowing, believing and trusting you to be you. And, you are AMAZING!

God, I love you so much. I can't stop praising you right now. I know I have sang songs about that but this is the first time I have experienced it. Love you, worship you, honor you, I am in awe of you God.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

My favor lies heavy on you tonight but it does not burden you. My joy surrounds you like a halo. My peace infuses you like a blood transfusion. I am in you and you are in me and nothing can or will ever change that. 

Everything you go through, I will go through with you. Every time you celebrate, I will celebrate with you. I refuse to let go of you and I will hang on with a tenacity greater than death. I am yours and you are mine forever. 

Freedom...

My Prayer:

YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLE GOD!!! Thank you for your healing power in me. I feel so FREE! I feel like a 400 pound weight has been lifted off of me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am celebrating with you my child. All of heaven is rejoicing. Your freedom from the past is glorious to see. 

You are moving into a new era, a new season where your healing will bring so many others to the light. 

I am here to make you free. I am here to heal you. I am here for you. Freedom is your inheritance.

Vengeance...

My prayer:

I am very glad you were in charge of today God because nothing happened the way I thought it would and if I relied on my own ability to plan and be prepared, I would failed miserably all day long. As it was, your favor and your guidance brought me through, like always. THANK YOU!

I really do love you so much and I know you love me; but I also see now that I do still have some trust issues. I thought that I was through all of that. I thought that I trusted you completely. But, based on the waterworks show last night and this morning, I see now that I need a bit more healing in this area. I need a bit more restoration. 

Thank you for understanding God and for healing me.

What God Said Tonight:

Healing, your healing, especially emotional and spiritual healing, is not a one time event. There are layers and depths of healing. The wounds caused by the enemy can be so deep that you have to get one level of healing just to be able to see the next level of pain. 

I want you to listen very closely. I want you to understand something once and for all. I don't want you to ever forget this. I NEVER planned for you to go through pain. I never planned on you to be hurt. I only planned on joy and fulfillment in your life. The sin of this world and the enemy are the cause of your pain. 

He will be paid back one day for all that he did to you. Satan will receive the punishment due to him. Your enemy is laughing, thinking he got away with hurting you. But in the end, he will not only see you whole, redeemed, better than before, but he will see it from the depths of the firey lake where he will suffer for all eternity. 

Vengeance truly is mine because I can make sure that it is rightly placed and aptly measured. 

I love you daughter. I am with you. I am protecting you. I won't let it hurt you any more. It is all in my hands now.

God the judge...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I am not sure I have words to describe what I am feeling, what I need, what I want to say. Hear my heart please. Hear all the things that I don't know how to talk about. Hear all the things I am afraid to ask about. Hear all the needs that I don't even really understand.

Thank you God for knowing me better than I know myself and being everything I need right when I need it.

What God Said Tonight:

You have had a lot going on in you and in your life lately, it makes sense that you are confused. I am not the author of confusion as you know but I can make things clear for you. I can give you wisdom beyond your own ability. I can give you discernment in situations that require it. 

You know my voice, and most of the time you pay attention. When you don't, I will always try to give you the second chance. I am all about second chances. 

This life, your life, is not something that is being graded. It is not something that is being scored. It is something that is being lived. No one wins and no one loses when it comes to life. You just live it. And, when it is over, because I saved you, you will live forever with me. 

I am your judge and jury and I call you innocent. There is nothing more to know or to earn. I love you.

Marathon...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a few more pieces to the puzzle tonight. Thank you for a few more answers in this healing process you have me in. It feels good to see forward progress, although I can clearly see there is quite a ways to go. 

God, I ask for help with this anger that is rising up in me. It is pretty ugly and not very productive. It is not righteous anger, it is petty anger. I don't want it in me. 

Thank you Jesus 

(Oh! and thanks for the great hike today! It was awesome hanging out with you!)

What God Said Tonight:

Just relax a minute. 

You do not have to run a marathon in a day. (Although I know you would like to so you could be on the other side of this) A marathon (and this process is a marathon) is one step at a time and takes a while. 

For those who are prepared for it, it takes less time to finish. For those who are unprepared, it can take a very long time. You are prepared, but do not rush this. Take each step as it comes, let me heal you and we will get on the other side of this forever and for good. 

I love you sweet daughter. Go and rest.

Needing God...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I have been sending up fervent prayers all day. So many people I love are having a hard time right now. I know there is not much I can do but listen, but you, you can change the world. You can do anything. 

We each need you so badly God. Just to get through a single day right now, we need you constantly. Thank you for being there and thank you for taking care of us. 

What God Said Tonight:

Needing me is a good thing, not a bad thing. Needing me  is how I designed you. It is not a sign of weakness. I love that you need me. I don't love the trouble that is coming against you but I love that in it, you see how you need me. 

I love how you come to me in the trouble. I will never bring trouble on you  but I will always use the trouble to help you. 

You are my precious child and I want only the best for you. I love you.

It's a process...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray and ask that you complete the process of forming me into who you need me to be to do what you have called me to do.

It seems like the process is taking so long. Maybe it is never truly done? Maybe it is a lifetime process? If that is true, I ask that you help me to see the progress and give me the strength and motivation to hold on for as long as it takes.

I understand how important this process is, how important my healing is, not just for me but for everyone that you are going to put in my life to help. I get it and I am grateful for your healing power. Lend me also your strength and perseverance, please. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have got you. You won't let go and you won't give up. I have you firmly in my arms and we are walking through this together. 

It is a process and it does take time but it is worth it. I have seen you through tougher times than this. I have seen you triumph over greater struggles than this. I will see you through this. 

This one, is really kind of easy in that the work is all up to me, not you. Look to me and let me heal you. I promise, I will not let you go, ever. I promise I will not you let go. I promise your healing is in process and I will see it completed. 

Moments to remember...

My prayer:

Awesome Lord. I would like to turn off my brain for just a little while tonight. I have been working so hard and thinking so hard, trying to figure things out lately, my brain feels like mush. 

I want to just focus on you tonight. I want to focus on how amazing you are. Your love, your grace, your mercy, your healing, your power, it is all overwhelming when I really focus on it. I think sometimes I get so accustomed to having your presence in me, your favor on me, that I completely take it and you for granted. And, it takes a moment like tonight, where I simply stop and think about, focus on you, to leave me with jaw hanging down awe.

It doesn't take long, just a moment. But it does take a pure moment of shoving everything else out of my brain so I can use all of it try to wrap around the amazingness that is you. 

Thank you for being you!

What God Said Tonight:

These moments are important. Not because I need to hear it but because you need to remember it. You need to remember who I am and as you do, you remember what I can and will do. That will give you the faith and the patience to get through one more day, get over one more mountain, walk through one more valley. 

I am never far from you and I am always fighting for you. I am and will always be on your side making sure that all things work together for your good. Go, relax and know that everything will work out. Not because of what you do but because of who I am. Love you!

God the provider...

My prayer:

So much to say but my words are inadequate to express it. 

I have a bit of laundry list of needs tonight for my friends and me. God I pray your perfect will be done in every single one of those needs. 

God thank you that you will never leave or forsake us. Thank you for ALWAYS being my biggest supporter. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I hear your heart and I know your needs. 

I am your provider and I will provide in each situation. It may not always be me doing what you think will make the situation better. It may mean that I do something drastically different from what you are expecting. 

However, I will always take care of it in the end.  

Cool still water...

My prayer:

I am enjoying the peace tonight God. Not that everything is perfect but just your peace that really transcends the circumstances and leaves me feeling warm, safe, and loved. Thank you for your peace God. With your peace and your love, I am truly blessed.

What God Said Tonight:

You are cool still water tonight my sweet daughter. You are pure with no cloudiness trying to hide you or your life. You are at peace with where you are and who you are. That is a great gift. 

Lie back in the water and let it cradle you. There is still much change and much healing on the way. There are still some hard times ahead. But, lie back in the clear water and I will float you right through them. 

Love you so much.

Healing...

My prayer:

Father God. I am grateful for what the emotional and spiritual healing you are doing in me and in my life right now. At the same time, it scares the pants off of me. And then, at other times, I get so angry at all that satan has stolen from me, all the years he stole, by what he did. Which then cycles me back to being grateful to you for showing me what satan did and promising me to heal it. 

So, it starts and ends in a good place but I have cycled through those emotions so many times in the last couple of weeks. It is exhausting.

Thank you for all of the rest you gave me this weekend. I pray God that you take me through this healing process as quickly as possible. It is not fun and I am ready to be on the other side of it. Thank you for making that possible.

What God Said Tonight:

This hurt is deep and buried long ago in your past. The healing takes time. It takes time to remove all of the things that you have covered it up with through the years. It takes time to give you the strength you need to face it. 

My healing is already done. For you to receive it, that is the challenge, that is what takes some time. Be patient with yourself and you will see the complete manifestation of this healing. 

You do not have to live with this in you for the rest of your life. I will see you healed and whole. 

Let me love you...

My prayer:

What a day God! Thank you, for everything. I am humbly in awe of you and what you can do when I get out of your way. Thank you for making me unusual. Thank you for continually healing me. Thank you for wonderful people that you put in my life to walk this crazy life out with me. 

I need you more than ever God. I love you more than ever. I trust you more than ever.

What God Said Tonight:

Come here. Closer. I love you. Stay here in my embrace and let me love you tonight. 

God, the teacher...

My prayer:

Thank you for the new insight today God. I am not sure what to do with it or about it. Maybe it is not up to me to do anything with it but trust you to heal me. But it did help to understand some things. 

I love that you are always teaching me things. Things about you, things about me, things about others, things about the world, things about heaven...always teaching me something. I also love that since you know everything, you will never run out of things to teach me.

Love,

Your enthusiastic student!

What God Said Tonight:

I made you to lie down in green pastures. I did not make you for the stress, toil and danger of this world. However, here is where we are at and I can and will lead you through this world. 

I will teach you everything you need to know in time for when you need to know it. I am your ace in the  hole so to speak. I am your secret weapon. I will always give you just what you need for every situation that comes your way. 

I am not saying it will always be easy. Sometimes it will be very hard. But you, you will always have me in your corner which means in the end you will always win. Your way out is me. 

God, the finisher...

My prayer:

Hi God. I am pretty tired of me and my stuff. Tonight, I really just want to listen. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I am not tired of you and your stuff. I am in the middle of your stuff and I am doing a work in you even though you can't see it right now. 

I am healing you. I am restoring you. I have not stopped. I am still at work and I won't stop until you have every promise I have ever given  you. I won't stop. 

I have you here for a reason. I have you in my hand and I will not leave you here. I intend to finish. I don't ever start something that I don't finish. When I said on the cross, it is finished, I completed a very long and important promise. When I say I am finished with you, it won't be until you are wholly restored. And then, that will be just the beginning of us. Love you.

Light at the end of the tunnel...

My prayer:

A day of insight and hope. Thank you God, I needed that! You are really wonderful to me God. I mean, you are wonderful but the way you treat me, how you take care of me, how you comfort me, how you always make sure that the right people are there right when I need them...WONDERFUL!

Thank you for the new clients at work today. Thank you for the continued success and promotion there. You bless the works of my hands and I am forever grateful. You make me look good. 

I love you God and can't wait to hear what you have to say tonight. It has been a rough couple of weeks but I see light at the end of the tunnel...hey, I bet that is you! 

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you and in you. I am your hope, your light at the end of the tunnel too. I am everything you need and most of what you want. 

I love you so much. There is nothing I will not do for you. There is nothing I won't endure for you. I give you all of me and I receive all of you. Together, we will live throughout eternity. 

Enjoy yourself whenever you can. Find your peace and strength in me. Walk in faith and the full conviction that I will not let you down, ever. 

Don't get distracted...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you. You are everything I need and more. I trust you to walk me through this life and into eternity with you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you every step of the way my sweet child. Many will try to distract you. They will have shiny promises and half stated promises. 

You, you are position for greatness and if you chose me, I will take you to such joy, you won't believe it. Today is the day of victory. 

Discouraged...

My prayer:

I am tired. Mind, body, soul tired. God, I ask for new enthusiasm. Remind me what is important and why I am here? Remind me why it is all worth it? I am sorry to sound so down tonight. I just need some help remembering.

What God Said Tonight:

I can bring to your memory every person you touched, through me and helped. I can bring to your memory every sunshine filled trail and mountain we have climbed together. I can bring to your memory the joy of a puppy's or child's face looking to you for everything. 

There is much love in  your life. There is much left to do. You will get tired. You will get worn out. Your enthusiasm will wane. But, you have me living in you so you will never completely be spent. You will always have a litle more. 

Things are not working out how you thought they might right now. You are discouraged. It has sapped your energy and drive. But, tomorrow, there will be new dreams to dream. There will be new joy to experience. There will be new hope. I am in you and with you and I am not done with you yet. I love you.
