Strength...

My prayer:

So, tomorrow is seemingly pretty important God. I pray above all things that your will be done. I pray for wisdom and discernment for me and for the whole group. This is way too important for us to do without you guiding and directing us. 

Thank you Daddy! I love that I can come to you for whatever I need. That level of privilege is pretty incredible. Thank you Jesus for giving me that position and access.

I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Strength. I am pouring my strength into you tonight. 

You have my wisdom, you have my direction, you have my will inscribed on your heart. Tonight I give you strength to do what is set before you. 

Follow my lead. Follow the open door. 

Trust in me. Trust that I am in charge. Trust that I will see you prosper, now and always. 

I love you. Go get 'em.

Wisdom with age...

My prayer:

Today had a lot of glimmers of joy God. Thank you for each and every one of them. I still don't know what is next but I do have a new level of peace about it. Sometimes, I think I just take life too seriously. I need to trust you more and enjoy life more. 

Thank you for being in my life and giving me something I can fully trust in. I can't imagine life without you and without the hope you bring. 

What God Said Tonight:

There is wisdom that comes with age. You have seen it. Now, imagine being older than time. 

I promise you, I am all knowing and, with me on your side, noting will blindside you ever again. Just keep your ear open to me and I will always give you warning. You will have a sense. 

You have seen it many times. I orchestrate events to cushion you through the tough times. I guide you.  I lead you. I won't ever stop doing that for you. Just listen for me in all things and I will help. 

I love you.

The slow move...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't know how to put my thoughts into words tonight. I think it is the same prayer as last night. I am ready for more, ready to move on, I just don't know how.

I know you said last night that it didn't really matter as long as we do it together and I fully agree that it has to be together with you or I don't want it. But I am sick of being stuck.

It use to be that when I got stuck, it was because you had told me to do something that I had not done. Is there something I am missing? Have you already told me the next step and I didn't listen? If so, can you tell me again?

What God Said Tonight:

There is no room for the runners anymore. The course is too treacherous. In this season, you have to step carefully, move forward slowly. You have to look where you are placing your foot to make sure you are not stepping in a sink hole. 

There have been days and seasons where I would encourage you to step out and run. In those seasons, the coast was clear and I knew you would be safe. Things are not like that now. Things are much more treacherous now. 

Slow and steady wins this race. Just because you are moving slow does not mean that you are not moving. The point of moving slow is moving with careful precision. 

I have a plan. I am guiding you. Try to find comfort in the safety of the slow move instead of impatience. 

I love you.

Follow your joy...

My prayer:

Today was pretty wonderful. Thank you for every minute. 

I need to ask you for something specific tonight God. I need you to reveal to me what is next. I feel you encouraging me to move forward into the next season and phase but I don't know what to do. I don't see the open door that I am accustomed to when you are ready to for me to move forward. I don't even know what I really want. I feel like the time is now but I don't know what to do about it.

Dear Father, guide me, give me wisdom, help me to know where to go, what to do. I am willing to follow your will. I just don't know what it is right now.

What God Said Tonight:

Your future is with me. That is the only thing you really have to know. 

Follow your joy, follow your peace but know that wherever you are and whatever you do, I am with you. And that means miracles can and will happen. That means that wherever you are and whatever you do, I am in it with you and I will see it work for your good.

Follow your joy. Each day, choose the things that bring you joy. Not just happiness but that deep fulfilled feeling of joy. It feeds your heart and soul. But, always, take me with you. Let me bless it. Let me bless you. 

I love you.

100% assurance...

My prayer:

In all of my imperfection, I worship your perfection. In my sin, I worship your holiness and righteousness. In my inadequacy, I worship your mastery. 

I worship you God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever flowing fountain that never runs out. I am all you will ever need. As long as we are together, you will always have, know and be everything that you need. And, we will always be together. You can count on it, 100%. Now and forever.

I love you more than you will ever know. You are my sweet embrace and you are in the core of my heart. I love you beyond reason and beyond imagining. 

Let my love carry you through this and every season from now on. 

Blessing and fear...

My prayer:

Sweet Father, you are my everything. You make life worth living. You have removed the fear of death. You cover and forgive my sins. You love me no matter what.

It really sounds too good to be true when I lay it all out but you prove it all to me every day. 

I am overwhelmed with a grateful heart for you tonight God. You are so wonderful!

What God Said Tonight:

I have favor shining on you right now. Nothing you do can fail right now. Step out and see if I won't make you succeed. 

A season of blessing is upon you. The size of your blessing is only limited by the rock of fear that you allow in your way. Walk past the fear. It is only trying to keep you from your blessing. 

Manna...

My prayer:

I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Life has been pretty unpredictable lately. 

I am very grateful that you have led me through each challenge, attack, trouble. Sometimes, when I think about what could happen or what could have happened, I start to freak out a bit. But then I remember how every time in my life when I had to deal with something hard, you always prepared me, took care of me, and led me through it. 

You have shown me that you will not leave me and you will always help me. There is no reason to think you won't continue. 

What a great peace and freedom that comes from that!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here, now and always. Tomorrow will take care of itself. You have enough for today. 

I am your manna right now. 

Take in all that you need of me each day but don't skimp.

Love right here...

My prayer:

Life is kicking my butt these days. I get to the end of the day and I am completely spent. I am grateful that I get to the end of the day before I am wiped out but it doesn't leave much for our night time talks. 

So, i don't have much left in me but I can always listen and I crave your voice. Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

I will love you right where you are. I will love you just as you are. I don't need a lot of trimmings. I don't need a lot of fuss. I will love you right now, even with your failings. Even with your sin. I will love you. 

Stranger in a strange world...

My prayer:
Seeking truth. Seeking wisdom. Seeking guidance...seeking you God. 

I have this feeling that there is something just outside of me reach, outside of my vision, that is about to fall on me. It is a sense that something is very not right. I have no idea what it is and that makes it more nerve wracking. 

Is this just my imagination or is your Holy Spirit trying to help me? 

Seeking truth. Seeking wisdom. Seeking guidance...seeking you God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Everything is off. Nothing is right. At least, not the way I originally planned. 

You are a stranger in a strange world and that world will always seem strange to you. I only worry when the world stops seeming strange to you. That is when you have assimilated to a point where your purpose and your origin are lost. 

I have you strategically placed. I guide your life. You will always have everything you need to handle anything that comes your way. You have the God of all creation on our side. There will be things in your life that surprise you. Good surprises and not good surprises. But none of them are surprises to me. None of them are beyond my ability to respond. And, you have me in you so none of them are beyond your ability to respond. 

Stick with me and we can and will handle anything that comes your way. Don't worry one more second about the future. I have already been there and everything works out for your good. I love you.

Choose...

My prayer:

So much noise God. So many voices, images, messages. So many that are not from you. My ears are tired. My mind is tired. My soul is tired. 

God, let me hear your voice and drown out the noise.

What God Said Tonight:

Much of what you hear, you have chosen to hear. You have opened your ears to hear from the world and when you do, the world will talk. 

Listening to me requires the same type of choice. 

Sit down and make a choice, what voice will you listen to tonight. Who will capture your attention. The voice of he world is seductive. Choosing it is easy. 

My voice brings life. 

Choose.

Never alone...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for restoration. I pray that tonight is the last night of this particular struggle. I ask for rest and restoration like only you can give. 

I feel like a wimp. I feel like I should be stronger and able to handle this. But, the simple truth is, I need your help. As always. 

Thank you for being my ever present help.

What God Said Tonight:

Who told you that you had to face struggles alone? Who told you that you had to survive on your own strength? It wasn't me. I never meant for you to face any struggle alone. I never meant for you to be alone. 

I am here, now and forever. I am by your side and lifting you up. I will not see you destroyed by this or by any other attack. 

satan thought he was being clever. He thought he could use the breakthrough I was teaching you against you. Well, he tried but I turned it for your good. I used it to take care of some other things at the same time. 

Yes, you are tired and worn out and that will pass. You have been through more than you realize. Trust in me and stop fearing what is coming next. I am with you. I will protect you. I love you. 

Worry disintegrating...

My prayer:

Today was pretty fun God! The snow was a bit unexpected being that it is mid-May but you kept it from piling up around here which I really appreciate. Maybe this can be the end of the snow for this season? (she said hopefully...)

But, if the weather is the only thing I have to complain about at the end of the day, that is a pretty good day!

I love you. Thank you again for your healing power. Thank you for how you take care of me. 

What God Said Tonight:

Peace, be still, I am here. Rest in my presence. Rest in my love. 

Let every worry disintegrate in my presence. Let every need wither away in my provision. Let every dream grow in my hope and inspiration. 

I love you and I am the substance, the soil for your growth. Grow in me and your produce will be incredible. I love you. 

When God doesn't speak...

My prayer:

Well, I am not sure I did what you wanted me to do but I did the only thing I thought I could. You seemed ok with it but it was pretty vague. I like it much better when you get super obvious and tell me just what I should do, like our walks where you tell me, 'turn left' and 'turn right'. Today it was just that you did not stop me. I asked for you to stop me if it was not your will and you did not. 

So, as I say, I hope I got it right. What I do know is that you turn everything for my good. So, even if I got it wrong, I thank you in advance for turning it for my good. 

I am yours. I am grateful to be yours. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

You see the light on the horizon. You see the morning sunshine. Where there is light, I am there. Follow my light through life. Let my light and my peace be your guide. If you are in darkness, that is not my will for you. If you are in confusion, that is not my will for you. 

Follow the light and the peace and find my will for you. 

I did not need to direct you today because you were headed in the direction I had for you. The only time you need to be told which direction to go is when you are going in the wrong direction. When you are on my path, you don't need me to tell you to keep going. You will naturally move forward. 

I love you.

An ear to God...

My prayer:

I am out of answers God. I know you are trying to show me something but I do not know what it is. I ask for wisdom God. Help me to see what you want to teach me. Show me what you want me to do next. I don't have any guesses left.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you. I have the situation in hand. You have not run out of time. The answers, the next steps are coming, in the right time. 

Keep an ear to me, keep an open heart, I will show you the next step. It is not as bad as you fear. 

I have something to show you. Something pretty amazing. This is only one step in it. 

I love you and you are not alone. You are not abandoned. You are mine and I am yours.

Changing...

What God Said Tonight:

Look deep inside, look at your core and you will find me. I heal from the inside out. 

The changes in you do not always appear on the outside right away. You feel different and you know something has changed but the people around you don't see it yet. 

Be patient with them. Be patient with the promise. Your friends will soon start to see you like I see you. Your family will see that the old you has left. 

Changing as a result of knowing me is easy. Changing to prove you know me is ridiculous. My presence in you will be known. 

All that I need...

My prayer:

I pray and ask for discernment. I think I need wisdom and discernment to get through each day and to know where to head tomorrow. Maybe, it is wisdom, discernment and guidance? 

I guess I am not sure what I need but I know I need you. I ask God, in your wisdom and discernment, to give me whatever it is I need to live in your will for my life.

Thank you Jesus,.

What God Said Tonight:

I have my protection around you, my light in front of you and my Spirit in you. You have all that you need. 

Trust in what I have given you. Believe that my will is in your heart. Know that you are mine and your life is part of a great plan. Your daily struggle is not wasted. Your exploration and journey have a purpose and a goal. 

I am yours and you are mine, forever. 

Less obvious miracles...

My prayer:

At peace tonight God. Nothing to complain about, nothing to shout about, but at peace and content. That is not a bad place to be. The older I get the more I appreciate contentment. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes, miracles are not so obvious. Sometimes hugging a young girl just when she needs it most, is a miracle. Sometimes a kind word to someone who has not heard a kind word for a very long time, is a miracle. 

Don't forget that I can turn everything for your good and I can take the smallest thing and make a miracle out of it. Remember the loaves and the fishes. I can take the leftovers and bless thousands. 

You often want to see the big impact, the flashy miracle and you will see plenty of those too. But don't miss the little miracles in each day. They matter too. Especially to the person receiving them. 

Thank you for being my hands and feet.

The time for...

My prayer:

A good day God. Thank you for the vision of what could be. I am up for it. Your will be done. I will just need your help to do my part right. But, that is what you are already teaching me, so I guess that is already done. You are an incredible teacher. I will do my best to be a good student.

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Grass grows, light fades, stars shine, there is a time and season for everything. 

The time for healing is now. The time for growing is here. The time for moving in my Spirit is right now. 

I love you now and forever.

Perfect place...

My prayer:

I am very grateful to be here with you tonight Lord. It has been a week of challenges and emotion. I am pretty exhausted by it all but I am glad to be here and able to rest with you. 

Thank you for hearing and responding to all the prayers this week. 

What God Said Tonight:

Your standing right there right now and there is no better place to be. It is not an easy place to be but it is the best place for you to be. You are in perfect position for the flood of blessings I am going to rain on you. You are in the perfect place to receive what I have for you. 

You have worked, you have prayed, you have believed, you have trusted. You have also cried, yelled, got frustrated, lost faith. But, through all of it, you are still here and here is your place and your time. 

You will see my glory. You will see my blessing. You will be right in the middle of it all. I have a blessing storm headed your way. 

Water walking...

My prayer:

Your will be done. Your healing power, manifest here on earth. Your promises realized in our lives. Your love blanketing it all. Nothing missing, nothing lacking. That is heaven.

What God Said Tonight:

Nothing missing, nothing lacking. Every need fulfilled and every joy expressed. I love you. I have every intention to see you living in this place of great joy and contentment. 

It is here for you but you have to recognize that my Spirit in you is more important than the circumstances around you. For awhile more, the circumstances of life will try to steal your joy, your home, your family, your peace. satan has designed attacks to take you out. He can't do it but stay focused on me. 

Keep your mind and spirit deeply rooted in me and the circumstances will fall away. I am your guide. I am your everything. I will not let you go. 

Remember, eyes on me. don't let the waves make you doubt.

Believing and waiting...

My prayer:

Still believing God. Waiting for your breakthrough.

What God Said Tonight:

Believing is not so hard. Believing and waiting can be the hardest thing in the world. 

Remember, I never make you wait for no reason. Everything has its time and its season. Your breakthrough, my breakthrough for you, is in process. It is already started. 

In hindsight, you can see it. But only in hindsight. You are blinded to it now. 

Trust me, believe and wait. I love you.

Coming...

My prayer:

Sweet healer. Thank you for providing healing for us. You did not have to do it. You could have saved us and left it at that but you provided healing too. 

To me, that is proof of your love. That is proof that you not only want us to live forever in heaven with you but you want us to enjoy the time we have here. 

I thank you for healing me, my friends, my family. Your healing power is real and magnificent.

What God Said Tonight:

I have rain coming, but it is the type that nourishes. I have wind coming but it is the type that guides. I have joy coming, the type that lasts. I have peace coming like you have never seen. 

I love you and I have a lot more coming for you.

One moment...

My prayer:

There is A LOT I don't know. But there are a couple things that I know without doubt. You love me. I love you. And, we will forever. Thank you God for the complete assurance of your love.

What God Said Tonight:

Come sit with me tonight. Let's enjoy this moment together. For one moment, the world will be quiet. The worry will cease. The pain will cease. Just for a moment together. 

I do love you and that love means that you can abandon all fear. You can live in the constant assurance of my love. You can live in me and me in you for all eternity. 

Hallelujah...

My prayer:

Today was good God. It had a little bit of so many things I enjoy. Thank you for the little blessings. I love the big blessings too but sometimes, the little blessings seem to endure longer. With a big blessing, it is amazing when it happens but there is always a let down afterward. With the little blessings, they just seem to stream together and reproduce each other over and over. 

You are such a good God, good Father, good Teacher, good Friend, good Savior, good Creator. I love you now and forever God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have not finished with you. I am not finished with you. I have so much more for you. A time and a place and a moment yet to come that will change the direction for you and so many around you. 

You have sought me. You have found me. You are following me. I will lead you. 

A great gift is coming in the wind. A great moment that will last forever. I have such great plans for you. Trust in me and keep your eyes lifted up. Heaven is on its way to earth and you are here to see it.

Love is the purpose...

My prayer:

Thank you for all of your help today God. You made me a blessing to other people. I love when you do that. I love when you give me those opportunities. 

I am pretty worn out now though and my mind is wandering. Probably a good sign that I need to be listening instead of talking.

What God Said Tonight:

Your blessing is not location specific. It is not specific to circumstances. Your blessing transcends all boundaries because it comes from my love for you and my love is everlasting and all encompassing. 

I will find ways to bless you wherever you are and whatever you are doing. I will find ways to make you a blessing to other people because you are my child. You are a reflection of me on earth. So, as much as I love blessing you, it is with that same love that you bless others. 

The more you bless, the more you love, the greater your life and this world will be. Love really is the ultimate purpose behind everything.

Final form...

My prayer:

My mind is racing with events from today God. Nothing I really need to talk about. 

Thank you for the reminders of the importance of hearing what others have to say. Help me God to find my confidence in you so I am open to others when they are trying to help me to be better. 

What God Said Tonight:

A lot is filing up right now. Filling up in you, in the world. Empty places are being made full and whole. Deficits are being turned into credits. 

I am the God of the impossible and I can make all tings right. I have you carved in my hand and I am not through with you. I am still molding you, shaping you, perfecting you. 

Don't get discouraged that you are not in your final form. It is just not time yet. I am creating you into a very beautiful, strong and complex person. That takes time. Let the time pass while you find your form. 

I love you, now and forever.
