Trusting God in the chaos...

My prayer:

Whoever first said, "The older I get the less I know" was SO RIGHT!!! I don't know much God but I know enough to rely on you. In this crazy, constantly changing season, I am SO GRATEFUL that I have you to lean on. I would never make it without you.

What God Said Tonight:

Just breathe. I know it is a lot to take in right now but I have prepared you for this. 

Nothing, I mean nothing that is happening right now is a surprise for me. I knew from the beginning of time that this day, this moment, in all of the seemingly craziness, was going to happen at this time. 

I have a purpose and a plan even for this. I have not been caught unaware and I am not scrambling for the next steps. I am in control and I will see this entire, and I mean entire situation work for your good. I am on your side and I have great plans for you. 

Learning to trust me completely in the chaos is important for now and even more important for the future. 

I love you and I have got this.

Getting through it...

My prayer:

God, I pray for new perspective. I need to find the hope and the joy again. Right now, the only thing I am really looking forward to is eternity with you. Everything in between seems like unnecessary drudgery.

If this is part of the battle you talked about, help me to fight it. If this is just me looking at the wrong things, help me to see the right things. Whatever this is God, I ask for your help to get through it.

What God Said Tonight:

I am sending you love in waves tonight. Receive my love.. Let it wash over you. Let it wash away the pain and scars. Let it fill you with my light. 

I am with you. I have never left you. I will never leave you. 

You say that what you look forward to is eternity with me. Well that eternity has already started. You and me together forever my love. 

When it all gets too much this week, take a minute, close your eyes, and remember this shower of love. Remember you have me in your corner. Take just a minute to reach up and touch me. Let my love, my strength, my power, get you through. 

Now and forever my love.

A coming battle...

My prayer:

Thanks for the rest day God. It was good to not have to deal with much of anything. 

What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I walk where you will follow and I will be your guide. I am bringing together great forces for the next season. 

A battle is upon us and is coming so very soon. We win the battle but the fighting will be fierce. those who do not know me will literally die from fear. 

I have sheltered you and raised you. I have taught you and I have strengthened you. Have you not wondered why? You are needed in this battle. All that you have learned is needed in this battle. Most of all, you will need to follow my lead. There is safety in my wake. There is great peril outside of it. 

I love you. You are prepared.

Every last thing...

My prayer:

All things are relative but I did not find a lot of joy in this day. I don't mean to complain, but I guess I am. Life is such a roller coaster right now. One day everything is looking up and the next day I am slammed back down.

I know that I need to keep my eyes on you and not pay attention to the circumstances. I know it but I am not doing a very good job of doing it these days. I will try harder.

What God Said Tonight:

Every day, every blessing, every challenge, and even every curse means very little on its own. The value, the meaning and the purpose come from understanding what is behind each event. 

There is a purpose and a plan on your life. I will use every last thing in your life to accomplish the plans I have for you. Do not waste time and energy being angry at the difficulties. They are there so I can use them for your good. Don't waste time chasing blessings. They will be there when I can use them for your good. 

Let go of your instinct to control. Trust me. Don't let any one thing get you down. I am yours, now and forever and I love you.

Healing love...

My prayer:

Work is kind of beating me up this week God. I am exhausted and just kind of done. Can we talk about something completely unrelated to work tonight? Tell me something wonderful that happened today? Something to pull me out of this funk.

What God Said Tonight:

I can list of millions of miracles today, but you already know that I am alive and active. 

What I want you to know is that just because you had a bad day, it does not mean that I love you less. Just because you say something you are sorry for or even think something you wish you hadn't, it does not change my love for you. You cannot out run my love. 

I love you, now and forever, no matter what. It is a fact. It cannot be changed. It is a vital tenet of reality. 

Rest in my love. Receive my love. Let love heal what the world stripped off of you today.

Lasting peace and joy...

My prayer:

Today was different. I actually had a whole day to catch up. I can't remember the last time that happened. 

Thank you God for favor and for the space and time to get caught up. What a gift!

What God Said Tonight:

Everything in its time and in its place. Learn the rhythms of my will and my way and you will flow through life with no stress and no worry. 

A life free of worry is not a life free of problems and challenges. A life free of worry is a life where you are so in tune with me, my will, my rhythms, and you trust me in all things. That is what a worry free life looks like. That is what it is built on. 

Stop chasing a perfect life and start seeking my flow. I promise, you will be much happier in the long run. No blessing given has the lasting peace and joy that living in my will provides. 

I love you sweet daughter.

Waiting with God...

My prayer:

Seeking you God. Seeking your wisdom and direction. I am willing to do whatever you ask, however you want me to do it. Guide me. Make it plain to me.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

See the people. See the millions and millions of people, waiting, looking, seeking. The world waits in breathless anticipation for one thing. My return. 

Look up and wait. See me. Know that I will not wait a moment longer than is necessary. I long to return to you. I long to hold you in my arms. 

I love the relationship we have but one day, it will be more. One day, we will dwell in each other for eternity. 

My love. My joy. I am waiting for you too.

God's logic...

My prayer:

So, I think I heard a direction from you tonight God but it is something you have not said to me before and I am wondering if I heard you right? This could affect more than just me so I need to be sure. Can you give me a confirmation if I heard you correctly? Or, if I did not, can you let me know that?

Thank you Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God.

What God Said Tonight:

My voice is not foreign to you. You know my voice. You know when I am speaking to you. Your confirmation will come and you will know it for truth. 

I have never meant to confuse you but sometimes there are things that I know and understand that you do not. Those things, when known, make my decisions and my direction very logical. Without the knowledge of those things, they seem random and nonsensical. 

Trust me, trust my voice. I will lead you and guide you my child.

God's love...

My prayer:

I am need of nothing tonight God but your presence and your voice. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Nothing missing and nothing lacking. Shalom my sweet daughter. 

I have waited for this time together. Not because I have anything specific to tell you but because I look forward to our time together. You love being in my presence. I love being in yours. 

You are my created daughter, the apple of my eye, and you are etched within my palm. My love for you goes beyond your ability to understand it. My love for you is the purpose behind all that I do. 

My children and my love of my children explain my sacrifice my will, and my plan. 

I love you. Look at everything with that understanding. 

Favor...

My prayer:

Thank you for a remarkably successful day God! Everything just kin of worked today. 

Thank you for your favor on my life. 

What God Said Tonight:

Favor is not a gift I give out as a reward. Favor cannot be earned. Favor is a byproduct of your inheritance. 

I have given you eternity. I have given you salvation. You are the daughter of the Most High King. and that comes with certain advantages.

Breathe...

My prayer:

I did not do well with life today God. I felt smothered in darkness. I know that sounds dramatic and I don't mean to be over dramatic about it but that is what it felt like. 

I am praying for your light to chase away the darkness. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Breathe in and then out. 

Now is not a time to figure it all out. I don't need you to problem solve this. Just rest. I have a plan. I will show you the direction. 

Nothing is lost. All is in waiting. Rest and listen for me. 

This season is short. 

I love you.

Blessings and timing...

My prayer:

I have a lot going on and I need your help with all of it but I really don't want to talk about it tonight. Evrey time close my eyes I se the beautiful flowers from today I would rather spend a few more hours with those beautiful thoughts than having to face the reality of to morrow. More than anything, I want to hear your voice God. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am building you a home. I have picked out the wood and the floor plan. I have begun joining each of the walls together. I spent my time on earth as a carpenter and it is those skills that I am calling on now for this gift  I am making you. 

This house I have designed just especially for you. It will have every feature that I know you will love. I am handling the construction personally so I am sure it is just what I want for you. I can't wait for you to see it. I can't wait for you to live in it. But, it is not ready yet. Moving in now would be a nuisance with sawdust in your food and no roof to protect you. 

The same is true of so many of my gifts. They are wondrous and they are made especially with you in mind. But, if you get them too soon the blessing becomes a curse. 

I have a right timing for everything. Blessings in their right time are miraculous. Blessings in the wrong time are corrupted. 

I love you. Wait on my blessings for you.

Faith is the foundation...

My prayer:

What a FUN day God!  You are amazing! The freedom you have given me is amazing! AWESOMENESS!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Faith is a rock you stand on in times of storms. Faith is also a rock you live on in times of stability. Faith is the basis of your life and is the foundation of our relationship. 

We have amazing experiences together. We have wonderful memories together. All of those are woven into our relationship but the core of it, the base that all else builds on, is your faith. Without faith, there is nowhere for the rest of it to reside. 

I love you. I love our faith. You and me forever, my love.

Live on purpose...

My prayer:

A lot of thoughts are rolling around in my mind tonight God but nothing really worth talking about. At a place of peace tonight. Not that everything is perfect. It is not. But, for whatever reason, that doesn't matter tonight. I am at peace and with you. That is all I really need.

What God Said Tonight:

A life lived is not the point. A life lived on purpose, for purpose. That makes a difference. 

Anyone can live. A child of God can live in purpose. Live you life on purpose, in my purpose, and see what happens. 

We have so many great things yet to see together and an eternity to see them. 

I love you. You matter. You are valuable. You are mine.

One day in eternity...

My prayer:

I am wiped out. There was a bit too much to deal with today God and my mind is just kind of shutting down. I pray for strength, help, and restoration.

What God Said Tonight:

Today is one day in an eternity. While you feel like you are shutting down now, the truth of it is that you survived today and sometimes that is enough. 

I was with you in every moment. You are never alone. You made it through and rest is next. 

Tomorrow truly is a brand new day. 

Needy...

My prayer:

Back to work tomorrow. I will need your constant help like always God. Do you ever get tired of how much I need you? Sometimes I wonder if I will ever grow out of my constant need for you. Then I wonder if I even want to. 

I love you Father. Thank you for always being there when I need you.

What God Said Tonight:

Three are a  lot of different ways to experience need. Sometimes you need because you have not learned how to do something on your own. Sometimes you need because you are unwilling to do something on your own. And sometimes you need because you are unable, and never will be able to do something on your own. 

You need your parents to do for you until you learn how to do for yourself. If you refuse to learn, you may overstay your welcome with needing your parents to do for you. However, you will always need someone to take care of you when you are ill. You cannot do that yourself and you never will be able to. 

You worry, thinking that your need for me is the second kind. You are worried that you have overstayed your welcome and your need comes out of not learning what you should, to do it on your own. I am telling you now, your need for me is the third kind. 

The things you need me for are things that you cannot do for yourself and never will be able to. You were not designed to do those things. You were designed to rely on me for them. 

So, the short answer to your question is no, I never get tired of you needing me The longer answer  is, you never have to worry about that because your need for me is normal and should never change. 

I love you daughter. I am with you now and always.

Worry...

My prayer:

What an exciting day! Thank you for blessing me!! You are very good to me God. Love you SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

Worry over nothing. I mean it. Worry over nothing. Ever. Pray, surrender, seek me, seek wisdom, but don't worry. 

Worry is a deadly distraction. It will eat away at your soul and leave you unable to see the blessings surrounding you. Worry starts small but like a noxious weed, will quickly take over everything. 

Make a decision today to give up worrying. What ever you need to do, give it up. You can trust in me. Love you and I will not let you down.

Alignment...

My prayer:

What a fun day God! Thank you for everything! It is going to take a bit to wind down from the excitement. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Did you recognize the peace in today? Did you recognize how everything had its own time and place? When that happens, you can be sure of my will is in control. 

When you question if you are in my will and you can't stop questioning. When you can't find peace in your spirit, that is a sign, most often that you are not flowing in my will. When your spirit is aligned with my Spirit and my will, there is peace. When it is not, there is not peace. 

It is how I can speak to you without words. It is how I can lead you without controlling you. I love you, now and forever.

God's battleground...

My prayer:

I am late but I am here. I have no idea how I survived today other than it had to be you carrying me through. Can we end this one with your sweet voice?

What God Said Tonight:

Things really are not always as they seem. It is something that is said a lot but that does not make it less true. 

There are so many aspects of life that you cannot directly observe. You sense the results of these changes, these upheavals, these battles, but you cannot see them. You sense that something is not right but you don't see anything out of place. 

You are my daughter and with that comes a sensitivity to the spiritual realm. Your peace comes from the spiritual realm. And, sometimes your lack of peace can come from there too. When life around you seems normal but you feel off balance, that is very often your sensitivity to the all that is going on behind the scenes. Do not discount the feeling but do not let yourself be too concerned either. 

The spiritual realm is my battleground and I will not be defeated. Not now, and not ever. My victories will be celebrated throughout time. I will fight these battles. I will win. Let your peace come from the assurance that I will always win in the end. 

I love you daughter. Go, rest.

Smooth rocks...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a day of complete rest! Nothing to worry about. Nothing to deal with. I really needed that. 

You are so good to me. Every year on this day when the US celebrates our freedom, I can't help but spend time thanking you for the freedom your love and sacrifice has given me. You are the source of my freedom. Without you, there is no me. 

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Even rocks change with time. A rock that is under water becomes smooth. A rock at the edge of water can become grooved and wavy. The water makes the change but where you are in relation to the water determines the results. 

I love you. When you are fully immersed in me, I can make you and your life smooth. My water will not harm you when you are immersed in me. When you are half in and half out, the world gets in the way of what I want to do in your life and it can leave you grooved and uneven. 

Immerse yourself in me and let me smooth out your ridges.

All your needs...

My prayer:

It is kind of crazy God. When I think I can't do anymore, you always do something, give me a second wind, give me a rest, somehow you just keep me going. I can't explain it but I have experienced it time and time again. 

It is one of the reasons that I don't say "no" to many opportunities. I know that if it is on my heart to do something, or is something that you have put in my path, you will give me what I need to do it, every time. 

Thank  you for being a God that I can count on every time.

What God Said Tonight:

Every time. Every day. Every where...I have heard that before. That is your morning prayer that my Will is done every where at all times. 

I am true to my word. I will give you everything you need. 

Sometimes people think I am just talking about money or provision when I say that. I am talking about so much more. 

If you need strength, I will give you strength. If you need healing, I will give you healing. If you need growth, I will grow you. 

I love you and I will fulfill ALL of your needs out of my riches in glory.

Ask anything...

My prayer:

I am trying really hard to look at this week as an opportunity for your glory God but the honest truth is I am dreading it. I am really going to need your help, every moment. Guide me, direct me, strengthen me please God. 

I am tired of the fight, which usually means I am trying to do it on my own and not relying on you enough. 

Sweet Father, I give it all to you. I am not tough enough for this battle but you are. Thank  you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I got it. I have got you. Is there anything I won't do for you? You are the apple of my eye and the core of my heart. I created you. I adore you. 

Ask anything, I will provide for you. Ask anything, I will heal you. Ask anything, I will shower favor on you. I love you. I love you. 

This week, I will show you that love in some really tangible ways. I will show you favor that is undeserved. I will show you power that is unbelievable. I will show you my love. 

Now and forever my love.
