God has got it...

My prayer:

It was only by your supernatural health that I made it through this day God. Thank you for energy that was beyond what I should have had which also let me start getting things done really early. Thank you for favor with the people I had to have hard conversations with. Thank you for bringing this day to a close. 

I ask for your peace and rest tonight God. I need some help to shut off all of the racing thoughts.

What God Said Tonight:

Do you trust me? Do you know my promises for you? Did you hear the many times that I said I will work everything for your good? 

That is how you stop the racing thoughts. Trust, remember and believe that I will take care of it. 

Each time the thoughts try to run away with you, respond back to the thought with, "God has got it." Repeat it when you need to.

One change...

My prayer:

Today required more than I had to give. You said to wrap myself in you God. I am here to settle in your embrace. Trusting you to work everything for my good. Thank you for your promises and for your loving care over me.

What God Said Tonight:

There are so many interconnections between things, people and events in the world that when you change one thing and it can have massive effects. 

You are dealing with a small one change that is rippling through reality. I have seen it and I am here to restore it and you. I have you.

A storm is coming...

My prayer:

I don't know what to talk about tonight. My mind is all over the place but nothing worth really discussing. Maybe tonight is a night for listening instead of talking.

What God Said Tonight:

It is time to wrap up for awhile. A storm is coming that you will want to be protected in my arms and in my blood. Wrap yourself up in me and weather the storm. 

I will be our comfort and your protection. I will see to it that you are not harmed. But the storm has a purpose. The storm must come. 

Hide in my protection and I will see you through.

Peace...

My prayer:

At peace and grateful tonight God. Thank you for this holiday. It was perfect. Back to work tomorrow and I will likely need a lot of your help. But, right now, I want to just stay in this place of peace with you. It is beautiful here.

What God Said Tonight:

Peace is a beautiful thing. It is worth more than gold or jewels. It is the healing balm for so many things. 

My peace, the peace that passes all understanding, the lasting peace, the peace that you can have no matter the circumstances, my peace can make all the difference. My peace is everlasting. My peace comes out of your trust in me and my  love for you but is not dependent on people or events to be present. 

My peace is my gift for you and it will never wear out. 

I love you sweet child.

God's positioning...

My prayer:

Wonderful time of worship tonight God. Than you for the intimacy and power of your Spirit. There is nothing better than your Holy Spirit falling heavy on us during worship. It is so good it is indescribable. Thank you for letting me know you like that.

What God Said Tonight:

There were things in hour journey today that I know did not make sense but I promise they all had a purpose. I have some things to rearrange. 

Be patient and wait for my positioning. If it is rushed, you will not see the full manifestation of what I want to do for you. Trust and wait. 

Already sent...

My prayer:

Thankful, grateful, more than I can say Lord! Thankful for the big things like  your love, salvation and healing. Thankful for the personal things like getting to spend Thanksgiving with mom, at her home, with her being able to walk again. Thankful for the little things like good traffic to drive in today. 

Today is my favorite holiday. A whole day to do nothing more than remember all of the reasons we have to be grateful. That is a really wonderful way to spend a day!

What God Said Tonight:

I have seen your sacrifice and I know your need. I have already sent the answer and it is on the way. You have very little time before you see the answer, the result, fully formed and dropped into your lap. 

When it is hear, you will wonder why you were so concerned. When it is here, you will remember the need no more. 

I have your answer and I have already sent it. Rest, trust believe. 

Who God is...

My prayer:

What a crazy day God! Thank you for bringing me through it. 

I pray tonight for the blind woman who fell down the escalator at the train station this morning. I send your word of healing to her, physically and emotionally. I can't imagine how frightening that had to be for her. I know it scared the rest of us!

Awesome God, I pray for  your peace in this time of turmoil. My boss reminded me today that we get to have your peace that surpasses all understanding. No matter what. No matter what chaos is around us, we have the gift of your peace. 

You give us so many amazing gifts. Healing, salvation, and love to name a few. And, with all of that, you also give us peace. I really love your gifts God. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

You are welcome my child. 

I give because it is my nature to give. I love because it is who I am. You never have to worry about losing my love or me withdrawing my gifts. I can't, they are a part of who I am. 

I love you and you are covered. There is no more to do today. Just rest.

I know you...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. My list of things to be thankful for continues to grow. Thank you for your blessings. Thank you for your healing. Thank you for new perspective. Thank you for new habits. Thank you for peace. Thank you for having me right here, right now, with these people and with you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I know you. I know what you will do before you do it. I know your heart. I know your pain. I know your potential. 

I know you. I formed you. I created you. I walked with you through every day of this life. I dried your tears and I laughed at your jokes. 

I know you and I love you more than words can say. You are my precious child. You are a prince and a priest. You are mine and I am yours and nothing will ever change that. I love you forever.

Shattered glass...

My prayer:

I am not in the mood to talk tonight God but I am always in the mood to listen to you. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Shattered glass is one of the few things in the world that can be completely destroyed and then melted down to become better than new. 

No matter how broken you are, my blood, the blood of Jesus Christ, can melt down your pain and make it into something brand new and beautiful. 

Let me recycle your pain into beauty. I love you.

Blind spots...

My prayer:

My thoughts are all over the place tonight God. In some ways, things, life, is more clear than ever and in other ways, I could not be more confused. 

I pray that you continue to lead and guide me. Continue to show me what I need to know. Continue to let me know what to do and where to go. 

I don't trust my own instincts or decisions right now. I need yours.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes, when a bright light is shined onto something, it can blind you at first. I have shone a bright light on parts of your life and it will help you see the full picture eventually. Right now, it has you seeing some blind spots. You can see that the answers are there but when you look directly at them, you have a blind spot. 

That will go away. You will see what I have revealed. You will see the full picture. Give it some time and trust in me. 

I love you.

Knowledge and truth...

My prayer:

There are defining moments in life that change everything. Most of the time, I don't realize the profundity of those moments until long after they are gone. But once in a while, it is obvious. I am changed. How I see life is changed. I know and understand things tonight that I did not know or understand a week ago.

Sweet teacher and Father. I am so grateful that you don't ever waste anything. Every thing, event, person, moment in my life, you use to teach me truth. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for the knowledge and understanding.

What God Said Tonight:

Knowledge grows exponentially like a crystal. One piece of knowledge and truth will immediately spring into many off shoots of knowledge and truth. 

Be a seeker of knowledge and truth and see your life expand in ways you cannot imagine. No matter how much you know, I always have more to teach. 

Life perspective...

My prayer:

I am a big ball of tired and grateful tonight God. You showed up and did your thing. Thank you for always taking everything, no matter how crudy, and turning it for our good. I see your glorious hand all over my life and the struggles of this week and I am grateful. I am also exhausted. 

What God Said Tonight:

Life perspective sometimes comes out of the simple act of stepping outside of your routine into a new challenge. You never truly know what it is to walk in someone else's shoes until you strap them on and take a stroll. 

I gift you with new perspective. See what life looks at from these shoes. I love you.

The blessing of the storm...

My prayer:

Ok God. A little improvement and a plan to move forward. That is a lot more than what I had yesterday. 

Thank you for always working things out. We are not yet through the storm but I see a path out. I see an outcome that doesn't break my heart. Thank you awesome Father!

What God Said Tonight:

The growth, the green, the richness that comes after a storm is some of the most fertile and lush growth there is. 

Don't forget to recognize the storm for the blessing it is. If you can see it that way, your life becomes much more filled with joy. 

Withstand the storm...

My prayer:

Well, the last 48 hours have been unexpected to say the least. Emergency rooms, pain medications, frustration, and instead of relief, more pain.

God of all creation, Father, Savior, we need help. We need answers. We need healing. We need you. I continue to pray and lift up my mom. This pain must go. Regardless of the cause, it must go. It has robbed her of independence, of health, of joy. I only know one who comes to kill, steal and destroy. He is our enemy and he has no right to be in her or in her life. 

I bind any evil, I bind the devil that is trying to harm her, in the name of Jesus Christ who gives me the authority to do so. I pray Holy Spirit that you completely fill her so there is no room for evil to return. I ask it all as your child, awesome God. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

The storm is raging but you are not lost. The rain is coming down in sheets but you are not alone. I am your cover and I am your hope. 

Withstand the storm. Do not buckle. Do not waiver. I am with you. Cry out, but I am already here. Your prayers are not in vain. I have heard. I am working. I am sending the help. 

You have seen how I have worked everything out so you could be where you need to be this week. Right down to the timing. I am in this. I will see you through. I will show you the answers and the revelation. 

I am here. 

Rest in your knowledge of who I am and what I do. Rest in your love for me and my love for you. Rest and know that I will make the way and show you the way, when it is time.

Blessings...

My prayer:

Thank you for answered prayers today God. 

I try not to ask too much from you. I don't ever want our relationship to be one where all I do is take and all you do is give. I love you way too much for that. 

But there are times, like today, where nothing but your intervention will do. I am so grateful on those days that you hear me and you always take care of it. I am insanely blessed with you in my life. 

What God Said Tonight:

The mist is lifting and the land is green with life. The overgrowth is so deep you can't even walk through it. 

Bathe in the lushness of the life I have given you. Don't hold back from receiving every gift I have for you. 

Remember to be grateful. Not for my sake but for yours. When you forget to be thankful, you get in your head that you did it not me. Once you start thinking that way, it is all down hill. But, be grateful in my blessings and I promise I have more than you can handle. 

I love you my child and all my Kingdom is yours as long as you like and as long as you need.

Seasons of change...

My prayer:

God, I ask for help tomorrow with all of the known and unknown challenges I will face. Help me to be a blessing. Help me to handle everything in love. Help me to help others. 

Thank you for your presence in me. Let it be more evident tomorrow than it was today.

What God Said Tonight:

Your season of growth is nearly finished. You have grown beyond expectation and you are ready for the harvest season. You are ready to reap what you have sown. You are ready to be released into your next season. 

Seasons of change are exciting and uncomfortable. Don't be surprised by either. I am with you and you are moving in a straight path with me and toward me. I love child.

A greater beauty...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day God. I got to work off the edge of the stress of the week, hang out with good friends, treat myself a little...what a great break! Awesome God, I can't imagine how I would be able to live this life without you. You are my calm in the storm, my strength in times of weakness, my joy all the time! With you, life is bearable and often wonderful. Thank  you for being in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

The world and your life is made up of so many different pieces and people. You don't understand the true complexity involved in being you. I will show you some day just how interconnected you are with the world and all of your brothers and sisters. 

Your life is like an enormous quilt made of many different colors and fabrics, all with their own beauty but with a greater beauty when put together. I love you.

God is more...

My prayer:

Never before have I felt so completely alienated from the world around me God. I have always been a little different. But the last couple of days, the verse where you say I am not of this world...I know what that means more clearly than ever. 

Awesome God, give me the ability to live filled with your grace in this less than perfect world. Give the ability to continue to wait for you to come and give us a new world. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am more than an image in your mind, a voice in your head. I am the great and mighty God of the universe, As such, I can move mountains for you. 

Never back off of your hopes and your prayers. Remember I can do exceedingly, abundantly and above all that you could hope for. 

Don't feed the monster...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today there was turmoil, uncertainty, hatred, joy, hope, hopelessness, calls for peace, calls for unity, calls for protest and division among friends and family. Sitting here tonight all I can do is remember your promises to work everything for our good. All I can pray is that your will be done. All I can hope is that there is a greater purpose behind this season.

Thank you for being my hope God.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't feed the monster. Don't feed the enemy. He preys on your fear. He gobbles up your doubt. It is like air to his lungs. Don't give it to him. 

Hold your head high in your confidence in me. Stand tall and show the world that you do not fear because I am with you. Your witness in this season can be very powerful. Become part of the good to come from the mess. Don't be the mess.  

Love you!

Trust God...

My prayer:

Trying really hard to trust that you have everything under control God. Things look pretty crazy and out of control but I will trust you in the storm. I will trust that you will work out everything for my good/our good. Trusting your promises, not what I see in front of me.

What God Said Tonight:

Not everything is as it seems. But even greater, I can use any circumstance to achieve my purpose. 

I have not lost control, I have taken control to move things forward faster. I cannot listen to the cries of my children for one second longer than needed. I hear you. I hear your cries and I am securing your future, even now. 

You don't have to trust the circumstances, You just have to trust that I am bigger than the circumstance. 

I love you.

Grow like a tree...

My prayer:

What a nice change today God. Thank you for slowing down the world a little. Thank you also for the perspective. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. I guess I have known that but getting to see it lived out by someone close to me really brings it home and makes it real.

Thank you for where you have planted me. Thank you for making me prosper where you have planted me.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life, the plan for your life is much more complicated than you realize. You see some of the bits and pieces, here and there, but you don't see the big picture. You can't see where you are growing to. 

It is like a tree. A tree does not know where it is headed, it just grows a little each day. The bark expanding, the branches reaching. Each day it becomes bigger and reaches higher. 

I know the final picture, when you are fully grown, and it is beautiful and complicated. As my child, like the tree, you do not need to understand how you will grow or what you will look like, just keep growing and reaching each day. I will make sure it works out.

Counterfeit...

My prayer:

Awesome healing God. I pray for your healing power to work in and through me tonight. I pray that you make everything right that is wrong. I am not sure what is wrong but you know. Thank you Jesus. 

What God Said Tonight:

A stone painted red and a ruby are very different things although they are both red rocks. 

The ability to discern value and truth in a world of cheapness and lies is incredibly valuable. I have my power at work in you. I have my power at work in the world. See the beauty, see the power, see the good that is coming. 

Know the difference between good and its counterfeit. 

I love you my child and you are healed.

Believe, trust, wait...

My prayer:

Thank you for a pretty wonderful day God. Not everything went as planned and not everything went the way I thought I wanted it to but everything turned out wonderful. I loved spending the day with you. I loved the reunion with the Prayer and Worship group tonight. Wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your foundation and your strength. I am here because you are. I live and dwell within you and where you go, there I am. 

Believe in me and I will do the impossible in your life. Trust in me and I will see you succeed and prosper. Wait on me and I will take you where you need to be. 

I love you, now and forever.

Little miracles...

My prayer:

Today was one of those little miracles of yours God. There is simply no natural way I could have gotten done everything that I got done today. There was clearly more to do than there was time to do it but here I sit, living proof that all things are possible through Christ. 

I am sure a lot of people would think this isn't a miracle or this is no big deal, but to me, it was truly a miracle and proof of your amazing and incredible love in my life. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

Miracles come in many forms. I created the world, miracle. I created you, miracle. I fed 5000, miracle. I fed one tonight who did not know where his next meal was coming from, miracle. 

If you are going to be thankful only for the big, parting the Red Sea miracles, you are going to miss out on a lot of joy. 

I am you God and the maker of miracles. I am your refuge and place of worship. I am everything you need and I am all yours. I will fill  your life with miracles if you remain sensitive to them. 

The reason for life...

My prayer:

I have literally nothing to talk about tonight God. I guess I am back in survival mode, just making it through each day, with little thought, effort or energy to do much more. I know it won't always be this way but it is right now. 

So, with nothing to say, let me be quiet and listen. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have given life. I have created life in you, on this world, and I created it for a reason. 

The reason for life is love. The reason for you is love. I created you so I could love you and so that you could love me. That is really it. I created you for love. Everything else, are just side roads. 

Your purpose is to love and be loved. Focus on your purpose and you will find great meaning. I love you too.
