Speed of change...

My prayer:

Thank you for a day free of hassles. I think I truly forgot how great life can be when things simply go smoothly. It has been awhile since I have had a whole day where everything just worked and there were no major obstacles or issues to overcome. It was pretty wonderful.

Thank you for getting me through the rough days and thank you for giving me a few easy days like today. You are my everything.

What God Said Tonight:

Things are coming together. I have been working for so long to get everything and everyone into right position for this next season and it is finally ready. 

Get ready to see more smooth sailing. There is a speedy timeline for this season and things will happen quickly. Do not be afraid of the speed of the changes. They are all in my will and they only seem fast because the preparation was so long. Now that the preparation is done, we can move quickly with the execution an completion of the changes. 

I love you, now and forever. Follow my lead.

Distractions...

My prayer:

Today was a miracle, start to finish. Thank you Jesus! You always tell me that opposition and aggravation are nothing more than opportunities for your glory to shine. Today I really saw that. Thank you thank you thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

Life is messy but beautiful. Those side trips, those distractions, are not taking you out of my will. They are often just adding color to the journey. 

Notice the distractions. Sometimes there is great joy in them. Sometimes there is great learning in them. My life on earth was filled with distractions that were more meaningful than what was right in front of me. 

The woman with the issue of blood. I was not on my way to see her. She was a distraction. But what a mighty and powerful picture of my healing power. A story that has lasted through the centuries and given so many hope, started out as a distraction. 

Keep your eyes and ears open. I have things to teach you, everywhere.

Family blessing...

My prayer:

Thanks for getting me through another rough day God. 

My prayer tonight is for my friends and their trip to pick up their newly adopted son. The barriers have been so huge and they have fought so hard for the privilege of raising this little boy. I ask for your favor on them, on their trip. I pray that everything from here on go smoothly and you make a way for them. I come against the barriers in the name of Jesus Christ and I say they must fall. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A blessing has been carefully prepared and is waiting for the joining of this family. I have held it, waiting for the perfect moment and that moment is now. 

I will bless those that you bless and I will curse those that you curse. You are my child and I am your God. Together forever my love.

A new dream...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I think I have a new dream! It has been so long since I have truly had a dream, a vision, of what comes next but I think I got it tonight. Now, as exciting as a new dream is, I have to know if this dream is your will for my life. I know from a lot of experience that pursuing anything outside of your will does not turn out well for me, so please, let me know what you think about this new dream.

What God Said Tonight:

A dream, a vision, is never a bad thing. I have given you the desires of your heart throughout your life. I will give this to you. 

I have no concerns about this dream. It is well within my will for your life. I have planted in you such gifts that they an be used wherever you are. I have opportunities all throughout this world for you to shine my light. 

I am with you and I will bless you, always. Keep dreaming.

Life is hard...

My prayer:

Just a question God, and, I don't really know that the answer matters either way, but if there never was original sin, would life still be so hard? Is the reason that everything seems so hard related to us messing things up? 

I know so many people who only want to do some good, to help and it seems like everything is working against them. I assume that one day, when the battle is over and we have won this war that things won't be as hard, but I am not sure that I have any biblical basis for that. 

When does the struggle end?

What God Said Tonight:

The struggle is real and the struggle is only for a time. 

I have seen you on your knees and I will lift you up. First to my arms and then to the heavens. You are my light on earth and your time to shine is near. 

Try not to focus so much on the struggle. Lean on me. Let me strengthen you. And, keep your focus on the glory to come. Not everyday will be all good and not every day will be all bad. Each day has an opportunity for you to be with me and live in my light.

Lift your head, see my light and let it reflect off of you. That is all I ask of you in this time. Reflect my light whenever you can. 

One day, you will have so much faith in me and so much reliance on me, no challenge, no barrier, thrown in your way will have a chance. You will walk over them and you will walk through them. 

Life doesn't get easier but you get stronger every day that you lean on me. I love you.

Finish the building...

My prayer:

Thank you for a good day God. Nothing incredible happened but it was a good day. Sometimes that is enough. Today, that was enough. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Building blocks. I am building you up, one block at a time. One experience at a time. 

Trust me to finish what I have started. 

Something new...

My prayer:

My mind is racing and jumping all over tonight God. I am having trouble focusing enough to even put down some thoughts in prayer. It is probably a good sign that I need to listen more than talk. 

I ask for your peace and clarity in me.

What God Said Tonight:

I am building something new in you. Something exciting and something that has not been seen before. I want you to feel the strength and the innovation that I am building in you. 

It is time to be excited. I am doing a new thing!

Ready...

My prayer:

Asking nothing but to hear your voice God.

What God Said Tonight:

In place. Lined up. Ready for execution of the plan. That's where things are right now. 

A lot of preparation and a lot of planning is about to manifest in its intended purpose. In my intended purpose. 

Get ready to see the fireworks. Get ready to see my will done on earth. I love you and I am glad you are with me in this time for this.

Surprises...

My prayer:

I am going to do everything possible to maintain a good attitude during the week God. I am going to do everything I know to do to recognize each blessing you pour out. I am going to to all I know to do and I know I will need your help every single second. Thank you for being my God.

What God Said Tonight:

Remember that you do not know what tomorrow holds. I have some surprises for you this week. It is not business as usual. I have some plans and some sparks that I know you will like. 

Keep your eyes open and your heart centered on me. I love you now and forever my child.

The evidence...

My prayer:

Thank you for the rest and restoration today God. I feel so much better. I pray for all of the people who are being so relentlessly attacked in this season God. I feel it myself and I see it all around me. Spiritual attacks, physical attacks, emotional attacks, and it just seems to be getting worse and not better. 

I pray your protection over us God. I know you have promised that you win in the end and that is wonderful. It is why I can get out of bed each day. But in the meantime, these attacks and constant battles are really painful and draining. We need more of you to get through. We need your strength. We need your peace. We need your healing balm. We need more of you.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

An attack is often not personal. The majority of the attacks you receive are not meant to hurt you. They are meant to hurt me. 

An enemy who knows they are defeated, does not go straight on to attack their enemy. They know they will just lose. So, the enemy attacks those that the other loves. He attacks the family, the children, those who are most vulnerable. 

The attacks in your life are evidence of how important you are to me. The enemy goes after you to try to hurt me. 

I will protect you and keep you. I will restore you. I will also stop this as soon as possible within the larger plan. I love you and he knows it. Let my love restore and heal all that he has tried to do to you. You are mine.

Waiting on God...

My prayer:

I gave what I had today God. Now, all I ask for is some rest and restoration. Thank you for all of your help this week. Could not have made it without you.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on me is different than waiting on anything or anyone else. All other waiting you, at best, have hope that what you are waiting for will happen. With me, I have promised you, so you can be 100% sure that I will bring it to you. 

You don't just have hope, you know. 

You know that I will come through for you. I have done it so may times in your life, why would I stop now. I wouldn't. Wait with expectation, knowing I won't let you down. 

Tomorrow is one day closer to your destiny.

Transforming ugly...

My prayer:

Another day of doing my best with mixed results. I pray for your continued help God. It is all I know to do. Your timing, your will, your help I ask for these things.

What God Said Tonight:

I am transforming your ashes into beauty. I am in the process of taking the struggle and making it your crowning achievement. I will turn all things to your good. 

Allow the process the time it needs. Try to be patient in trusting me. 

Even the ugliest and most difficult situations can become beautiful in my hands. Watch me make your life beautiful again. 

I love you.

Live this moment...

My prayer:

I found some joy today God. Thanks for the moments of joy and thanks for the healing. I am beyond grateful for your presence in my life. You are my everything God.

What God Said Tonight:

A night, a day, these things don't have great significance in the larger picture on their own. However, each day, each night, adds together to create eternity. 

A life of purpose keeps eyes on the purpose but it also takes time to enjoy and be present in the moment. 

There is a purpose in being present and experiencing all that I have for you right now. It is not as exciting as the dreams of the future but it can be just as wonderful in its own way. 

Live for eternity with me but before we get there, live each day with me. Live this moment with me. 

I love you  beyond words.

Moments of joy...

My prayer:

Purpose God. I am feeling a distinct lack of purpose. There seems to be an ever growing mound of problems and I am having a very hard time understanding the purpose. 

I pray for wisdom, discernment, and most of all your will and your purpose to be accomplished in everything.

What God Said Tonight:

Everything is connected my love. Seemingly random events are not random. You will not see all of the connections. You could not see them all even if I showed you. It is beyond your comprehension. But know that I do see them and I make all things work for your good. I have got it. 

In the meantime, in this time of getting though, I want you to find joy in the small things. Look for moments of joy. You can find them. I will leave them for you. But you will have to look. You will have to make it your purpose to find the joy in each situation. Look for it and write it down so you do not forget and so you can see the truth of my promise. 

I will always leave some joy for you if you look for it. I love you.

New paradigm...

My prayer:

I am grateful for a couple of days to relax and have fun. Everything has been so hard and serious lately. I am looking forward to at least a couple of days to disconnect from it all. 

Thank you for all of your help this week God. I would not have made it without you.

What God Said Tonight:

No judgement or condemnation for you my daughter. Your sin, your mistakes, everything is already paid for. I do not condemn you. Please do not condemn yourself. 

The world will try to make you feel like you need to be punished. Never forget the new paradigm you are under with me. I will see to your success. I have already forgiven every sin. The rest of eternity is about living out my perfect will in your life. 

Leave all worry behind and love. It is the purpose and plan of tomorrow. Love. They will know you by your love. Let your love show. 

Don't worry...

My prayer:

Oh wow God, we just passed 1 million views on this blog! People came over 1 million times to see what you had to say! That is amazing, fantastic, wonderful!!!!

I was going to talk about how I survived this day thanks to you and that I was grateful for your help, which I am, but seeing that number has me all excited! It is crazy wonderful and puts the worries of the day in perspective. 

The next meeting, the next deal, the next day at work, those are not really important. Seeing your messages and your love spread, literally throughout the world. Now, that is worth something! I love you SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here working on your behalf. I always have your best interest at heart. I am working it all out in your life. 

Trust me, please. Don't miss out on the beauty and joy of life because you are worrying about things outside of your control. I am in control and take ease in that knowledge. 

Rest, work, laugh, dream, but don't worry. Don't spend a minute of your effort on wondering "What if the worst happens." It won't. I am with you. And, even when it does, with me on your side, the worst works for your good. That is the promise. I will take EVERYTHING and work it for your good. 

You, my child, are more blessed than you know. Be completely confident of that.

God is great...

My prayer:

I am asking God. I am going to need big help tomorrow. I will need your favor. I will need ridiculous favor with men. And, that is just for the stuff I know about. Who knows what surprises tomorrow has for me. 

I pray above all things that your will is done. Make it all as you want it to be. Help me to follow your lead.

I love you and I am grateful for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

Building blocks. Every day, every challenge, in the past, present and future, every one is a building block. 

No experience is wasted in your life. I will turn ALL things for our good. All things. Every one of them. I will not let you be defeated. 

I will see you prosper. My kids are meant for glory. My kids are meant for greatness. 

Watch me be great tomorrow for you. I love you.

Ask...

My prayer:

I made it through today relatively unscathed. These days, that is a praise report! I continue to pray that your will is accomplished in every aspect of this world God.

What God Said Tonight:

A prayer does not have to be anything specific. You don't always have to ask. You don't always have to praise. You don't always have to intercede. You can do all of those things. You can claim your rights as a child of God. You can speak my Word and my promises over a situation. But, you don't have to. 

All I ask is that we keep talking. I just want to hear what you want to tell me and I want you to listen to me. 

It is no different than any other relationship. Even when you know what someone  you care about is going to say to you, you still want to hear them say it. You may know that someone loves you but it is good to hear it now and then. You may know that someone is going to ask you an important question, but you still wait to hear them ask it before you answer. 

The same is true of me. I know you. I made you. So yes, I know what you are going to ask before you ask it. But that doesn't mean that I don't want you to still ask for it. I need to hear it and you need to say it. 

Make your requests known my daughter. I will hear you. I love you so very much.

Stronger together...

My prayer:

I have to trust you God. You are my everything. You tell me that everything has a purpose and you are in control. I trust you and pray your will is done. That is all I know how to do.

What God Said Tonight:

A frayed rope is weak but not broken. If seen in time, it can be strengthened with other cords of rope. Often, the repaired rope is stronger than the original one. 

I am bringing to your damaged areas, those people who can make you stronger than you ever were before. The time for making it on your own is over. The time to link up with brothers and sisters in my name has come. 

I love you.

Repel the attack...

My prayer:

Thanks for our alone time together God. I really needed that. Thanks for catching my tears and guiding my steps. I do not know what tomorrow has for me but I am at a much greater place of peace tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

The roots and the vines of a tree feed the tree. The flowers and the buds of a tree are the fruit. The bark is the protection and the trunk is the base that all else is supported by. There is no part of the tree that is greater than any other but each part serves its purpose. 

Sometimes, when something attacks a tree, the sap and the bark work to expel the attack. That my daughter is you now. I have sent you in to repel the attack. 

It is not fun work but it is vital. Do not give up the fight. Do not avoid the fight. Trust me to strengthen you and keep at it. 

The attack must be repelled or the tree will fall. I love you and I am with you in this and in all things.

Come and rest...

My prayer:

There were a lot of little things to be grateful for today God. Thank you for every blessing and thank you for every thing you protected me from. I am ready for some rest time. Life is pretty exhausting right now. I need you more than ever.

What God Said Tonight:

Come and rest. 

There are things to do, to learn, to experience, but not right now. right now, lay your head on my chest and close your eyes. I will keep a watch out and keep you safe. I will make sure that you awaken in time for the next big thing. 

Just relax and rest in me. There is not a single thing for you to worry about or to do until I wake you. 

I love you sweet daughter. Sleep well and dream big.

Broken glass...

My prayer:

I am all talked out God. My listener is still working though. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Fractured. Like a mirror that is shattered. You look at life right now and that is how you see it. I have a different view. 

I see the makings of an amazing stained glass window. Those shards that look broken to you are the perfect size and shape for the picture I have planned. I will use your brokenness to create something beautiful that is a blessing to you and everyone around you. 

I did not break the glass but I will use it for your good. Trust me as I move around the pieces and put them back together. The new creation will be more beautiful than it was to begin with.
