Always...

My prayer:

Tomorrow we celebrate you resurrection. Now, there is something I can celebrate with no reservation or confusion. That is the day when it all made sense. That is the day when you made a way for us to know you personally. That is the day that changed everything!

Thank you for being the Way Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

Each experience in life is like a pebble or a grain of sand. Get enough of them and you get a beautiful beach. Get even more and you get a mountain. Each moment of your life is meant to add to the others. It is not meant to be kept in isolation. You are a culmination of everything in our life so far. 

One of the key turning points in your life was when you accepted me into your life. But, I have always been with you. Before you knew I existed, I was already with you and loving you. 

My sacrifice and my resurrection was the natural result of my love for you. 

Love and sacrifice...

My prayer: 

Good Friday is always bitter sweet for me God. On the one hand, I am SO GRATEFUL for what you did for us. Without your sacrifice, I would be so lost. I can't even imagine how I would survive a day. You deserve a day where we remember and celebrate what you did for us. 

On the other hand, I HATE that you had to do it. I am pretty sure, had I been there with you, I would have cut off more than the guy's ear. I likely would have fought with everything I could think of to keep them from taking you. And that would have been a great tragedy. Maybe the biggest tragedy ever. 

It is hard when your will and love seem to be against each other. I say "seem to be' because in truth, there was so much more love in your sacrifice than in any other thought, act, or deed ever done. But, in my heart, it hurts to see someone I love make decisions that will end up causing them great pain. 

Maybe I am overthinking it all. In the end, I know that you had to do it and I know that without it we wouldn't be able to talk like we do. So, let me just say a very passionate but wholly inadequate "thank you." Your choice and your sacrifice truly has saved the world. 

What God Said Tonight:

If you had to pick between your best friends happiness and you mother's happiness, what would you do? Sometimes the choice is not as simple as following the love. 

My love for you is boundless and the best way for me to show you was to find a way that we could know each other and be together for all eternity. This is the price I paid and I would do it a million times over, if I had to, just to know you and to have you know me. 

My love brought you into being and my love will make room for you forever. Go and rest now. I will go with you. Now and forever my love.

 

Transportable plant...

My prayer:

What a great night God! Thank you for amazing friends who know you. Thank you for amazing opportunities that literally blow my mind. Thank you for the confirmation that all of this is your plan for our lives!!! You are wonderful and I can't wait to live each day with you in charge.

What God Said Tonight:

You are planted but I have planted you in a transportable pot for a reason. 

I have you firmly rooted in my love and you will grow in that love. But, I need to take you to different places with all of your roots and soil around you. I have no intention of transplanting you. I will not dig you up and move you to a different place. I am simply going to take you, and all that you are are planted in, and take you around the world to bless and be blessed. 

Your soil and your roots will not change. You will have them and the pot you all sit in with you wherever we go. But I will take you around the world. 

There is much to see and many to bless. Be ready to move but be assured, your roots and I go with you, always.

Remember love...

My prayer:

I can't think of a single thing to say tonight God but I am always ready to listen. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Remember I love you. In every battle, in every struggle, in every celebration, remember I love you. That is all I ask. 

Remember my love, receive my love, and see how my love heals. 

I love you. I love you, I love you. 

Ever present help...

My prayer:

I ask for your help tomorrow God. It could be rough but I know with your help, it will all go wonderfully. 

Thank you for always making me succeed. Every success is a testimony of what the All Mighty God can do. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help. I will not leave you nor forsake you. I have loved you from before the time that you were formed in your mother's womb and I will love you for all eternity. 

You hare my child and as such, you are a royal priesthood that is destined to succeed. Every battle is won for the glory of God. 

Peace...

My prayer:

What a wonderful sense of peace you have given me tonight God. Not a peace from everything being wonderful but just a genuine peace and contentment. Thank you for that. These moments of peace are truly wonderful and a great rest from the craziness of everyday life. 

I know you have said in the past that this peace is there for us at any time. I have not learned how to live in this peace all of the time but I am grateful for the moments of it and I have hope that I will learn to stay in this place more and more. 

What God Said Tonight:

As the morning mist rises from the field of spring flowers, the beauty can take your breath away. The feeling of the cool mist on your face is like a kiss to start your day. 

Spring is so very close and the time for growing, playing, and celebration that comes with it. 

Everything is in place and ready for this next season. You will find many days of peace in it. Not that it will be uneventful. There will be a lot to experience, but at the base of it all, will be my peace. Your foundation will be my peace. 

I love you daughter and rest well.

Childlike joy...

My prayer:

Today came and went so fast, I feel like I blinked and it was gone. There was time for you to show your glory and kindness though. Thank you for all that you did today God. I give you all glory and honor. You are my reason for living and I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Remember the little girl from this morning? She had a light in her and a joy that is seldom seen anymore. 

I delight in children. They are often so close to the original creation before sin and the world got involved. 

Cherish the children. Look into their eyes and see the joy that I intended for everyone. 

One day soon. We will have that joy again and it will be forever. The new beginning is on its way. While we wait, let me love your hurt and scars away. 

Beautiful, broken...

My prayer:

Ok, so you were not joking when you said you would take care of everything today! WOW! '

The meeting I was so worried about, you made turn out better than I could imagine. Then later, when I thought I had made such major mistake at work and all evidence showed that I did not do what I should have done, somehow, you made that ok and suddenly it was clear that I had done everything I was supposed to! Then, to top it all off, you surprise me with one of the most amazing sushi dinners I have ever had (with the same group I was worried about meeting with earlier in the day). 

YOU ARE AMAZING and living as your kid is a lot of FUN!!!! Thank you Daddy! Feeling wonderfully spoiled tonight!

What God Said Tonight:

Some of he beautiful things are made out of other things that are broken. Consider stained glass. You take glass that is broken, shattered, and combine it with other broken glass to make a new and more beautiful design than the glass had in it's original unbroken state. 

Sometimes, the things we think are broken are merely being prepared to become more than they were before. More beautiful, stronger, everything. 

God's tomorrow....

My prayer:

It was nice to get back into the real world today God. Thank you for health and strength. 

I will need some more help tomorrow. There are challenges awaiting me tomorrow that I know I can't handle on my own. I am grateful that I know I never have to and that you are always with me and you are my ever present help. 

Thank you in advance for what you are going to do God. You are amazing.

What God Said Tonight:

You know the part of the prayer, "give us this day our daily bread?" There is great wisdom in that. 

Let me take care of tomorrow. You keep focused on now. 

I love you daughter and everything is under control and on the right path. Just keep up.

Move out and move on...

My prayer:

Hallelujah! You have restored my health God! Thank you! What a difference today. Thank you for health and strength. 

What God Said Tonight:

Furnaces are stoked and the engines are ready. The time to move is now. The time to go is here. 

I love you and I will guide you as always, but take the first step. It is time to move out and move on. 

I love you.

Another perspective...

My prayer:

I can not think of a thing that is worth talking about tonight God. All this rest has left me without a lot of thoughts or things to talk about. I am always ready to listen though. Is there anything you want to talk about tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Perspective can really change your experience of something. But even when you can't find a way to look at things from a different perspective, just knowing that there is a different perspective is sometimes enough. 

Know that this battle you are in looks one way to you but, there is another perspective. There is a perspective that is logical and shows the purpose behind the battle. 

I don't expect you to be able to see that perspective right now. You will one day. But right now, just know that it exists. That what you see and what you experience really is only one small part of the bigger story. 

I love you and I will see you through this battle.

Keep resting...

My prayer:

This rest has been good God but I am eager to get up and about again. I am kind of tired of laying around and being tired. With your help and healing power, can we get out and do something tomorrow? If it is not time, tell me. But, if it is possible, it would be great. 

I feel pretty disconnected with the world. It has only been a couple of days but still. For whatever reason I feel cut off and alone. Good thing I have you here with me or I would be going nuts.

What God Said Tonight:

Taking time to rest and heal is not a bad thing. It is not a sign of weakness. It is not a sign of laziness. Taking time to rest and heal can be the smartest thing you can do sometimes. 

I timed this so it would have the least impact possible but I do need you to rest. Don't push it. 

I love you and I want only the very best for you. 

Faith perseverance...

My prayer:

I pray God for your continued healing power in me. It is not getting worse which is a bit of a miracle all on its own. But I pray for your complete manifestation of healing. In the name of Jesus who took on my sickness. for me.

What God Said Tonight:

Walking out your faith takes perseverance sometimes. Refuse to believe anything but my promise on your life. 

My promises are true and you will see each and every one completely manifest in your life. During the process. you may forget my promise or the earnestness behind it. That does not stop your miracle from coming but it makes you more miserable in the wait. 

Believe my word over your life and make your life easier.

My job...

My prayer:

Well, we made it God. There were some tough moments but your healing and strength brought me through. I couldn't of made it without you. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

Your job now is to rest. There was a time for work and powering through and now there is a time for rest. 

Living in the rhythm of the life I have for you will never be too much and never leave you bored. I will bring you through the tough patches and I will celebrate with you in the joy. 

I love you. Follow my lead and never wear out.

God's healing power...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need your help, healing, and strength tonight. I can't seem to sleep despite being really tired. My body aches. My sinus act like they are trying to start a cold. I pray for your healing power to be manifest in me tonight God. I thank you for your sacrifice and that it is by your stripes that I am healed. God, please put everything right.

What God Said Tonight:

My sweet daughter. Healing is your bread. Healing is embedded in your core. Do not let symptoms frighten you. I am the God of everything and I rebuke the sickness from you. I loose my healing power in you. 

Receive.

Eyes up...

My prayer:

Thank you for getting me through this day God. It is by your grace and strength that I am here tonight. Let me hear your voice before I say goodbye to this day.

What God Said Tonight:

Flowers in the bud. Leaves on the vine. A time is coming where all will be fulfilled. As sure as the sun comes up in the morning, my word will come to pass. 

I don't tell you these things to boast and I don't tell you to raise your hopes unfairly. I tell you because it is truth. 

My Kingdom come. My Kingdom is coming. Keep your eyes up and your spirit ready. 

I love you, now and forever.

The next season...

My prayer:

A day free of worry and responsibility, thank you Jesus! That is a true day of rest. I do not know what this week will bring but I know I will not be facing it alone and that is enough for tonight. I love you and want to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Late in the season you begin to see the changes that tell you a new season is arriving. In spring you begin to see green and flowers. In summer you begin to see hot days. In fall the beautiful change of the leaves. 

These harbingers of the next season are there as signs of hope, declarations that time is not standing still, and the circumstance you are in today will not last. 

Look to the harbingers of your next season. They are all around you. You will see glimpses of what I have coming for you and it is glorious. I love you daughter.

Waterfall of blessings...

My prayer:

What a great evening God! Thank you for giving us time with an old friend. It was pretty wonderful having the old gang together. 

Thank you also for your words last night. Today was so much better, just being conscious of you and not taking you for granted. Life is better when we walk through it arm in arm. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

A waterfall of blessings is on its way. I am about to pour out again. Get ready to be rained on. 

I love you and my blessings have been waiting for this time. Lean back , lift your head, and receive. 

Taken for granted...

My prayer:

I feel like I have run out of things to talk about lately God. Things are reasonably good. Each day with some joy and some challenges. But, really, nothing that rises to the level of bothering you about. Maybe this is just one of those stable periods and if it is, I should just be grateful for it. 

But, I worry that, if I am running out of things to say to you, does that mean that we are not as close as we should be or as we used to be? Am I less connected with you than I was? 

That, more than anything, is my greatest fear. A separation from you, no matter how small or how partial, is my greatest fear. 

What God Said Tonight:

You know the answer before I even start to speak. To be closer to me, seek me out. If you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me. Seek me, search me, study my word. 

There is no magic. It is like any relationship. Spend time with me. Talk with me. Love me. You will find the intimacy you think you have lost. 

The truth is, you have not lost anything. The intimacy we have always had is right here. But, those things that are always present are the first things that you tend to take for granted. Maybe you have taken our intimacy for granted. That has left you in this place. 

So, stop. Now that you see it, stop taking it for granted and remember how precious our relationship is. I cherish it. I know you do too. I love you.

Enough...

My prayer:

I only ask for one thing tonight God. Let me hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Enough. It is enough. You don't have to try any harder. You don't have to do any more. It is enough. 

Everyone just relax a minute, Allow me to repair and heal you. Allow me to love and comfort you. 

Stop trying to fix it all yourself. I never intended that. 

I love you. Stop, rest, and let me show you. 

Coming back...

My prayer:

Thank you for all of the protection today God! I am exhausted but I am home safe and there were several times today where I was not sure that would happen. What a great protector you are!

What God Said Tonight:

You don't have much longer to wait, I am on my way. Restoration is near and we won't go to sleep hungry. 

No matter what you see, I am near. No matter what your fear, I am still on my way. The second coming is not a fantasy. I am on my way back and the time will be here before you know it. 

I love you and I will see you soon.

A bump in the road...

My prayer:

Today was pretty rotten God. I try to find the positive in every day but the only positive thing about today is it is over. Everything was so hard today! Things that normally are no problem, even little things, went wrong and took 10 times the effort and 10 times the time to get done. Uggghhhh!

I pray and ask for rest and restoration, knowing that every day is a new day with you and that my hope is in you.

What God Said Tonight:

Take a deep breath. Things are not as bad as they seem. Today was a bump in the road, not a permanent destination. 

Sometimes the battle gets a bit rough and the flotsam spills over into the physical world. But remember, the battle is not yours. Rest and trust in me to defeat our enemy. Hold on a bit more. 

I need you to to remember one thing. As hard as everything was today, in the end, you got it done. in the end, it is taken care of. In the end, we win. In the midst of the struggle, remember we always win in the end. 

I love you. Hang tough daughter.

God's plans...

My prayer:

Today was wonderful but went by much too fast. 

Every prayer I have tonight is for someone else. Thank you for hearing all of the prayers, healing, comfort, restoration, and creative miracles are all needed.

You are amazing and my provider. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Walking out into the unknown is scary and takes faith. Your future is not lost, it is just not obvious to you. 

I have a plan, or really plans, in play. Step forward, step out, trust me. I will take you where you need to go. 

I am your truth, your guide, your teacher, your savior, your Father, and your love. I will see you in the future I have specially designed for you.

Old dreams...

My prayer:

At peace, at home, and with you. Life is good! I love you and I don't need anything but to hear your voice tonight. 

What God Said Tonight:

It is never too late to let your dream out to breathe. A dream is a gift and the possibilities never die. 

Air out some old dreams. Let them see the light of day. Remind yourself of the hope you had before life made you hide it. 

I love you and I want to breathe life into some old dreams tonight.

You are free...

My prayer:

I worship you, my God. I praise your Holy name. I live in a constant place of gratitude because you are in me. I love you Father.

What God Said Tonight:

You are free to run around and find me. You are free to know the God who made you. 

You are free from all that would hold you back. You are free from all that tried to harm you. 

You are free. You are free. You are free. 

I love you.
