2015...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father, normally on New Year's Eve, you and I sit down and review the year together; but, for whatever reason, I am not in an introspective mood tonight. 

I am grateful for the healing and restoration you provided for me this year. I am VERY ready for the next season and to see what you want to do. 

I guess that is really it God. I am yours, now and forever, and I am up for whatever you want to do in 2015. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I cannot imagine a better place for you to be to receive all that I have for you. 

They say the sky is the limit but we are going well beyond the sky together. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever. Everything else comes from that truth and that love. 

Blessing...

My prayer:

I am filled to the brim with thankfulness and gratefulness tonight Lord. Thank you for the extravagant blessings of today. Thank you for the peace. Thank you for the friendship. You are so very good to me. I wish I had more ways to say thank you. Maybe I can try a few different languages...Merci, Gracias, Danke Shain, Spaciba, Konichiwa...I think that is all that I know. But, know how much I love and appreciate you sweet Lord!

What God Said Tonight:

I have opened the floodgates of heaven on your life., Get ready for more. I have chosen this season to pour out on you because you have poured out on others. I don't need you to do anything for me but I love when you bless people on my behalf. 

Blessing and being blessed are all part of a circle of circumstances. One begets the other and vice versa. I am getting ready to pour out on you a blessing that you cannot contain. Truly, it is already on the way. 

I love you. Peace be with you as love is in you.

Generosity...

My prayer:

Well today sure did not go like I thought it was going to but it sure was wonderful. 

Thank you God for directing my steps and opening opportunities for me to be a blessing. Thank you for friends who remind me what is important and what really doesn't matter. Thank you for the praise report of healing. 

Thank you for introducing me to Fred who has such a beautiful heart. He wasn't worried about his own situation (even though it looked pretty rough) but wanted to make sure that the young man he met earlier in the day was taken care of. 

God, there is something so beautiful about a generous heart that does not worry about themselves but gives to take care of others. Thank you for showing me that today.

What God Said Tonight:

It is generosity, grace, mercy that make an intolerable world tolerable. It is those things and love that make a world full of sin bearable. It is those things that take a world that is damned and lift it out of destruction into hope.

I came because I believe in generosity, grace, mercy and I am love.

These are the things that will win this world back from the edge of evil. These are the weapons you can go into battle with. These are the things that will build a future worth living for.

I love you sweet child.

Total peace...

My prayer:

I am at peace tonight God. Total peace. The only thing left that I need for today to be perfect is to hear what you have to say tonight. I love you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Life does not have to be as hard as you make it sometimes. Trust more, worry less and know that I have it under control. If you can do that, no circumstance will ever get you tied up in knots again.

I really am bigger than any problem you can have. Trust me to know the way through and to know the way out. I am always here. I am always on your side. I always win.

You know I love you. Remember it always.

Impact...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day God. Cold, wet and snowy but wonderful! 

Looks like we have several really cold days ahead and that always puts me in remembrance of the many people without homes. It breaks my heart and reminds me again how blessed I am. Thank you for my warm and safe home. 

God, I ask that you open my eyes to the opportunities to help. I pray that you provide for them, keep them safe and warm. 

I ask these things in Jesus name.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your shelter in the storm. I have provided and will continue to provide. I will not see my children begging for bread. 

I see you and your heart. When you give to the least, when you give to those who cannot do for themselves, you are giving to me. When you offer a blanket to someone who is cold, you are offering it to me. When you pray for someone who is sick, you are praying for me. I receive each kindness and act of generosity. I see each and every one. 

Your kindness, your generosity always has an impact. You don't always get to see it. you don't always realize the impact you have. One day you will. One day I can show you the lives you have touched. 

For now, be alert to opportunities to be kind and generous. Look for opportunities to bless. You will be blessed in return, I promise. 

Christmas love...

My prayer:

Happy Birthday Jesus! I sure did enjoy your birthday celebration this year! Thank you for peace, joy and a beautiful Christmas snow. I love you so much. For all you do and all that you are, I celebrate you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I loved the day and I loved seeing you love each other. 

I have said it many times before but the world will know my children by their love. You can only love like a child of God, when I am in you. You can only love without judgement and without resentment if you have the grace and mercy of the most high God within you. 

Let your love shine and show the world who you are and who I am. 

I love you. Today was wonderful!

Can't get enough...

My prayer:

God, born of a human woman. I guess we are not the only people who have that story. But we are the only people who can say that baby grew up and sacrificed His life so we can be saved from ourselves. And, you are the only one who can say He was resurrected from the dead after defeating death and satan.

That is a history that cannot be matched.

Because of you I have life, now and forever. Because of you, I am washed clean of all sin. Because of you, I am redeemed and my relationship with Father God is restored. Because of you, I am healed and whole. Because of you, I have hope no matter what the circumstance. Because of you, I am loved.

THANK YOU JESUS!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have you carved in the palm of my hand. I have you wrapped in my heart. I have you safe within my arms. 

I came to earth for many reasons. One was to know you better. To live with you. To walk among you. I cherished that time with you. 

When I left. When I no longer walked on earth, I sent my Holy Spirit so that you would never have to know life without me again. I sent my Holy Spirit so you and I could always be together. Walking together, talking together, experiencing life together. 

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

Truth is, I can't get enough of you. You, my children are so amazing, I don't ever want to leave. Not only do I promise never to leave you, I don't want to ever leave you. I love you so very much.

Family of God...

My prayer:

I don't have a lot to talk about tonight God. Mainly I am grateful to be here, now, with you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am alive and well in the hearts of my children tonight. I am the core of their salvation and their love. I am the center of their purpose. I am a part of my children and they are a part of me. 

My children number more than you can count. I love them all. Some have yet to learn to love me. 

I bask in the sound and fragrance of your prayers tonight. I receive them as a sweet fragrance. I hear the prayer of your heart. I hear the prayer of my Spirit in you. I hear you. As, I know you hear me. 

Let's go into this celebration as the family that we are. Let us forget the things that come between us and focus on the thing that ties us together. You, all of you, are mine and I am yours. That is what I want you to remember, especially over the next couple of days. 

I love you, so very much.

Peaceful heart...

My prayer:

It is getting close to your birthday, or at least when we celebrate your birthday! I hope you like what I got you this year. It sure was fun picking it out! 

I do have some requests tonight God. I have several friends who are going through some really tough times right now. You know the situations. You know the struggles. I pray that your will is done in every one of those situations. I pray that you give them peace and hope. I pray that you surround them with your love and walk them through these valleys.

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I will send them peace like the ocean. The ocean, its tides, it rhythms can be the most peaceful place in the world. However, it is also extremely powerful. The same waves that gently rock you to sleep can also destroy. 

My peace and my power are like that too. I will be your peace and provide a safe place for you to rest. At the same time, in that peace is the power to destroy those things that are coming against you. 

Tragedy cannot triumph when you have a truly peaceful heart. 

Rhythms of peace...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day of rest and Sabbath with you God! Thank you for the rest, the peace and the joy in today. I loved hanging out with you!

What God Said Tonight:

The world and times are moving very quickly now. It is so very important that you take time each week to slow down and feel the rhythms of peace. 

I am here. I will stabilize you. I will give you peace. You have to be in a position to receive it. Don't ever forget the importance of a day of rest with me. 

I love you daughter. I enjoyed the day with you but I always do. You are precious to me and I am with you now and forever.

Never alone...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have done just about everything I can think of to put off our conversation tonight. Not because I don't want to talk with you. I simply have no idea what to say. Today was an insane mix of emotions, thoughts, events and I don't know what to say about any of it.

I am devastated that my friend has had such a loss. I am comforted by the community and love surrounding him. I am reminded of the sanctity and beauty of life. I am SO GRATEFUL that you have provided a way for me to be saved and live forever with you. 

With so many conflicting thoughts and emotions, I am left feeling oddly numb but as if the smallest thing could set me off. Numb but fragile. I guess that is the best way to say it. 

So, there it is. That is where I am at. I don't much like it here but I don't even know what to pray for. I feel like this is important, an important experience, so I don't want to pray for you to take it from me. But, I also don't want to stay here very long because it is really uncomfortable. 

God, I pray your will be done, knowing you only want the best for me.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your calm in the storm and your comfort in times of pain. I am your healer and I am your protector. 

You are right to believe that this time is important. I appreciate your courage to face the difficult time knowing it will work for your good in the end. You did not always have that level of faith. 

I have one promise for you. You are never alone. I will never leave you, no matter what. Let's get through this together.

Exotic new things...

My prayer:

So tired but so blessed! Love you Jesus! What is on your mind tonight>

What God Said Tonight:

I know it is not Spring outside but it is about to be Spring in your life. 

I am about to birth and grow some new and exotic things in you. They have not been seen before but they are so beautiful. You will be amazed. 

Get ready for new life in your life. Get ready to see things you have not seen before. 

I will lead you and guide you always.

Death and life...

My prayer:

Today really put things in perspective God. I ask that you comfort my friend and his family who lost their son and brother today. There is little to nothing I can do to help them myself but I can come to the great comforter on their behalf. God, I send your love, peace, and comfort to them.

I pray God that all of us who were touched by this tragedy find comfort in you. I pray that this be a reminder to us of how precious life is and that we should enjoy every day. Sometimes we have to really search to find the beauty in life. When things are tough, we have to really search. But when we do, we can always find something. That something is usually you. 

God help us to find the beauty and joy in each day.

What God Said Tonight:

The shadow of death has no true victory. I have conquered death on your behalf. 

The salvation I have given you ensures that your existence does not end when your body does. Death seems permanent to the living. But, death, when you are alive in me, is only a transition. 

I am here to comfort you and help you in this time of loss. I am also with him. Rest knowing that he is with me and free of torment.

Widow's mite...

My prayer:

Thank you for bringing me through this day God and providing for my every need. That is so like YOU!! Love you mighty God!

What God Said Tonight:

I  have promised to provide for your every need out of my riches in glory. I have more than enough so to provide for you out of my excess is pretty easy to do. Providing for someone, giving to someone out of your excess is one thing and it is good. 

But how much better to provide for someone in your time of lack. I honor those who give even when they are not sure that they will have enough. I love the faith of the widow's mite. 

The truth about God...

My prayer:

I worship you, my Lord, my God. I worship you, every day of my life. I worship you, day and night. I worship you. 

Thank you God for the tremendous honor of getting to know you personally. I was reminded today that not everyone has experienced that. Some people have no idea of who you really are. 

I am worried for those people God. They can be easily deceived. Our enemy is lying, cheating and destroying and he is pretty good at it. God, I pray that your truth, the truth of who you are and who you are not, be made apparent in this world to every person. 

There still may be people who turn their back on you and though that hurts my heart, at least they made the choice based on the truth. Right now, there is so many lies and misunderstanding about you, I don't think everyone has the chance to choose based on the truth. 

I love you God. Tell me what I can do to help.

What God Said Tonight:

Recognizing who I am not is as important as recognizing who I am. 

The truth will win in the end. It always does. Truth cannot be defeated by deception. Not in the end. I am the way the truth and the life and I will triumph, with you, my children at my side. 

You have heard me say that my children know my voice. Anyone who has ears to hear. I will reveal myself to anyone who asks. I will show them who I am and who I am not. I will speak and they will hear. 

I, my truth is available to all. They have to want it. 

That is where you and your brothers and sisters come in. You share your life you live with me. That is how people know to want to know me. That is how people know to ask. 

The future...

My prayer:

WooHOO! Made it to the Sabbath! Really looking forward to a quiet day with you tomorrow God. I am kind of mentally and emotionally exhausted after this week. I am very grateful that I get to rest in your presence. Thank you in advance for restoring me. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am through waiting. I am here to take you to the next level. I am here to guide you into a future that is bright with my love. I am here to show you the immensity of your future in me. Open your mind just a little but tonight and let me show you. 

A world without hate or jealousy. A world where every person is celebrated for who they are. A place where love is a natural way of life, not something that "happens" to you. Imagine for a moment you live here with me. I have a future for you where this is real and true and tangible. 

In it together...

My prayer:

Once again, sweet Father, I had a problem that looked unsolvable, I asked for your help, and here I am just one day later and it is solved. 

You are truly amazing and wonderful and I am so grateful that I can come to you with anything. No problem too big or too small. You are always the answer and I am forever grateful!

What God Said Tonight:

I am happy to help. We are in this fight together. I will be your ever present help. You will be my child and my love. 

Don't shut me out and don't turn your back on me. Turn to me in good times and in bad. Seek me in all things and I will always help you. 

I have a deeply vested interest in you and in your success. I will see you succeed and be blessed in all that you do. I have  gift for you. You will love it and it is nearly time to give it to you.

Comfort...

My prayer:

Thanks for the opportunity to be a blessing today God. I love it when I get to help someone. I don't seem to have much on my mind tonight God but I love you and love to listen to you. Anything you want to talk about?

What God Said Tonight:

I have sat down beside you and held your hand through the waiting. I have stood behind you in the struggle. I have walked before you on the journey. I have dwelled in you through it all. 

I am with you always. Let my presence be your comfort. 

Ushered in by God...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a day of renewed hope. You always have what I need just when I need it. Thank you for knowing and loving me!

What God Said Tonight:

It is time. Get ready. I am about to walk you into your future...

Stand with me, walk with me, trust me to lead you right where you need and want to be. 

I have been walking with you for some time now. We have seen and done much together. Tomorrow will see a new day with new wonders. We will see it all together. Grab ahold of my arm as I usher you in. 

They are waiting for you. 

Perfect in Christ...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. What a rollercoaster today was! Some really great things followed by some really hard things with shadows of even worse things that could have happened but didn't. Thank you for your protection on the way home. I have never seen so many cars who seemed like their sole purpose was to see me dead. 

God, days like this make me know more than ever that the best thing I can do is surrender to you and your will and pray for your help. 

Help, please Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here sweet child. I am right here. I will take care of you. I will take care of everything. I am here. 

Your wound is fresh but it is not new. It hurts because it has reopened a wound from the past. I will close the wound. I will heal the wound. 

Your next level of healing will leave you less venerable to reinjury. 

Your healing is to know that you are perfect in me, not in your own effort but in me. And, since your perfection is in me, no one can question it. It can never be changed. It is not related to your mistakes. It sits above your successes and your failures. It covers you and all that you do. 

You do not have to try to perfect. You are made perfect in me. You do not have to worry when you fail, you are made perfect in me. I am your confidence. 

Time alone with God...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a day to do almost nothing. What a privilege and gift! 

What do you want for your birthday this year God? What I can give the God of the Universe?

What God Said Tonight:

I want time alone with you. You, my children are what is most precious to me. 

Come, let's sit on the beach and watch the waves come in together. Come, sit with me in front of the fireplace and remember all of the good times we have had together. Come, to our quiet spot and let's just talk and be together. 

That is what I want. That is all I want. I love you.

Celebrate...

My prayer:

What an awesome day! What an awesome night! God, YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Divine appointments, left and right. Old relationships renewed, current relationships strengthened, new relationships formed...AWESOME!

God, when we get out of our own way and let you do your thing...woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Celebrate life. In the desert, in the storm, in the blessing on the other side, celebrate life! 

Life, your life is a precious gift. The angels are jealous. Life is something you are meant to celebrate. It does not last forever. You, you and I, we last forever, but life, life is short and filled with challenges and joy. Find the joy and celebrate it every chance that you get. 

I love you sweet daughter. Sleep and rejoice again tomorrow.

Grateful...

My prayer:

My God, thank you for prayer, thank you for your Spirit, thank you for your comfort, thank you for your healing. Thank you for always being there when I need you most. Whether it is for me or for someone I love, you ALWAYS show up and you ALWAYS take care of it and I am ETERNALLY grateful. You are so wonderful and I am so blessed that you are in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever. Go and rest in my love tonight.

Teenager...

My prayer:

Dear God. I have on my heart tonight teenagers and the parents of teenagers. I pray that you help the teens through this time of transition. Remind them they are not alone. Give them peace and hope for a future. Help them to see that if they invite you into their lives, you will take care of them. 

I pray for the parents God. I pray that yo give them wisdom and understanding. I pray that you give them strength and endurance. I pray that you give them patience and courage. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A birthday comes and goes and the whole world can change, or at least your perception of the world can change. 

I have such a love for the teenaged kids who struggle so constantly to find who they are and their place in the world. I love when those teens invite me in to be apart of their journey. To guide them in their journey. They can be the most powerful testimonies. 

I love their parents too. I know for many they may not have signed on for the parenthood deal if they knew how hard these years could be. But, I have never left them or forsaken them. I will see them through this season, just like those of the psat. 

I am your God, your Lord, your teacher and your provider. I will see you through.

Healing...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Thank you for renewed energy today! It is pretty wonderful to get to the end of the day and NOT feel like I have been drug behind a truck for 18 hours. 

Praying tonight for your healing power to run through this world. So many folks are sick right now, everything from Ebola to nasty flu viruses. I am truly tired of satan trying to kill, steal and destroy us through sickness! 

Jesus, I claim your healing power for your children tonight. I pray that your healing power run through each of us, making everything that is not right, right. I claim the right of healing through your sacrifice and by the same method in which you saved us. Through you, we are made whole. 

I bind satan and his tricks of illness, by your name, Jesus Christ. I loose your healing power. 

Thank you Jesus, OUR HEALER!

What God Said Tonight:

I have come to heal and make you whole. Sometimes, to make you whole, I have to create in you new things. I have to build up areas that have been hollowed out through the pain of life. Sometimes, I have to fill those holes. 

Other times, I have to remove things that should not be there. I have to remove the tumors and the growths that do not belong. 

Other times it is a matter of balancing. You are complexly made of many chemicals and hormones, all of which have to be balanced for you to be at your best. 

I have come to do all of these things and more. While you and your healing is complex, I wrote the owner's manual so it is pretty easy for me. I will heal you.
