Blessed...

My prayer:

Thank you for raining blessings on me today! You are wonderful God and you make me succeed.

What God Said Tonight:

My pleasure is your pleasure and your pleasure is mine. I bless you and I am blessed. 

Truth...

My prayer:

When life is a roller coaster, my only reasonable response is to trust you. Anything more and anything less will only drive me crazy. So, here I stand, trusting you God. My future, my life, my everything is in your hands.

What God Said Tonight:

In a world filled with lies, I am the truth. In a world filled with deception, I am your lighthouse. I am your path in the darkness and I am the hope in your future. 

Follow my truth and see miracles. I love you.

Let love out...

My prayer:

There is one thing you ask of us God. You ask us to love each other. But, sometimes, that is the hardest thing to do. To love when people are unlovable and when they hurt us. To receive love and trust that the other person does not have ulterior motives. Sometimes that seems impossible.

I understand that you have asked us to love and I want to do your will. However, I will need your help.

What God Said Tonight:

Love is not an emotion and it is not even a decision. Love is a matter of being. 

You are a child of God and therefore you are a child of love. The world has tried to beat the love out of you but it is still at your core. It is at your core because I am at your core. I am love. 

Underneath the bruises and the scars, your core is love. Reach to our core. Gently move aside the pain and you will see love, waiting to be released. The best cure for the pain of the world is love. The best cure for your scars is love. 

Don't try to love. Just reach within yourself and let the love out. I promise you it is there. Let love out. Let love heal you.

Lights...

My prayer:

I needed rest and you gave me rest today God. Thank you. You always are there with just what I need. There is no better God, Father, Teacher, and Friend than you. I am very grateful that I get to spend eternity with you!

What God Said Tonight:

A million points of light. All different colors, sizes, strengths, woven together into a tapestry of beauty. That is how I see your souls. 

Each one unique and beautiful on its own but each a part of an even more beautiful expanse. Your souls are so beautiful alone and together. Together you are brighter and the contrast brings out your color even more brightly. 

Love the light in your brother. It is beautiful. Love the light in yourself. It is beautiful. Love the light that you have together, it is magnificent. 

I love you, let my light shine in you.

Right around the corner...

My prayer:

I did not have very good balance today God and I am left feeling drained. I pray for your strength and restoration.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

A time to celebrate is near. There are things you have been waiting on that are truly right around the next corner. 

Stay strong. Do not get weary in your well doing. Lean on me and hang on for just a little longer. I have such a great blessing waiting for you. 

I love you and I can't wait to see you so blessed.

Ease up on yourself...

My prayer:

I am doing my best God. It is not good enough but I am doing my best. I pray that you cover the gap. Thanks you Jesus. I am nothing without you.

What God Said Tonight:

Less blame, less guilt, more trust in my grace.

You are harder on yourself than I ever intended. You expect things of yourself that I would never expect. Please, just relax and know that I am with you, that I will destine you to succeed, and that my only expectation of you is to love. 

Love, as good as you know how. Leave the rest to me. I know the end from the beginning so I know where to guide your next step. 

You love, I will do the rest. I promise.

The aftermath...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for strength, wisdom, and favor. I may not know what the week holds for me but I know I will need you every step of the way. You are my everything God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Wind blows, storms rage, and damage is left in the wake. Sometimes the storms blow onto to other places and create more havoc there and sometimes they die out. 

The terror of the storm is hard but the aftermath is often worse. The clean up and the fear of it happening again can paralyze people and discourage them beyond hope. 

It is the enemy's plan to wear you out with storms, then beat you down in the aftermath. 

You cry out to me in the storm and I am there with you. Remember to cry out to me in the aftermath. Let me help you heal. Let me help you reestablish your life. Let me help you live in hope instead of fear. 

I love you. Let me help.

Love each other...

My prayer:

Thanks for today God. It was unpredictable but not bad. I pray for your continued divine health. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

No on is an island but people can connect with other people in different ways. There is no "right" relationship. 

I only ask that you love each other. That is all I have ever wanted. Love each other, just as I love you. Find a way to put aside the anger, the fear, the frustration, and the hurt, and love each other. 

Everything will be different when that happens. Absolutely everything. 

Patterns within patterns...

My prayer:

Today was pretty great God. A little bit of work, a little bit of fun. For a change, I think I actually found some balance today.

Thank you for your patience with me. Let's keep moving.

What God Said Tonight:

There are patterns within patterns and meanings within meanings. Nothing is a as simple as we would like to think. 

The reason you are not seeing lasting solutions to the problems in front of you is that you are only seeing the surface evidence of the problems. You cannot see the root. You can not see the multiple things that have led to the problem. 

That is where I come in. I see all and I know all. With that view, I can guide you through the mess and into the solution. trust my voice. Follow my lead. I will see you victorious in all things. 

People quilt...

My prayer:

Thank you God for amazing people in my life. I have so many really GOOD people in my life. People who care. People who want to do the right thing, just because it is right. People who love, no matter what. 

Thank you for surrounding me with such wonderful people.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is like a quilt and people doubly so. Each person has a spot and a purpose. 

Each square is beautiful in its own right but more beautiful in the pattern of the quilt. People are that way too. Each person, each child of God is beautiful in their own right. But, when they are in position, with the others that I place around them, the pattern, the larger picture is even more beautiful than each person alone. 

I am a relational God and you are my relational people. You work better together. You are more beautiful together. 

I love you.

A path through it...

My prayer:

I can't think of anything to talk about but always willing to listen. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Rocks in the river. I am making a path for you through the river. Watch for the rocks. You will need to jump from rock to rock to make your way across butt the way will be clear. 

Follow my path and I will get you to the other side. I love you daughter.

Offended...

My prayer:

Ok, I know that offenses are a tool of the enemy to wipe us out so I am working REALLY hard not to be offended. Really hard. But sometimes, I am not sure how to let go. Other times, I wonder if I really should let go or if I should move on. Maybe the offense is just a sign that I am not in the right place?

Those are my thoughts but I would really like to know what you think. And if I am supposed to just let it go, I will need some help with that.

Thanks Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Are you offended or is your pride hurt? Are you offended or have you convinced yourself that you are right and any other opinion must be wrong? Before you worry about letting go of the offense, I need you to be honest with yourself. Take a minute to see what is really happening.

Maybe, that different viewpoint has truth in it. Maybe it is not about you at all.

I love you daughter and I love your passion. Don't give that up. But, before you act, before you respond to this situation, take a minute to ask yourself the hard questions.

I love you and your life is in my hands.

Pass it on...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the opportunity to be a blessing today. One of my most favorite things is when I can truly help someone. Not just a gesture but do something that really matters. Thanks for showing me a way to that today.

Love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Broken hearts are not less capable of love and generosity. Something about the breaking gives the person a greater capacity for love and compassion. Not always right away but eventually and once there, it is enduring. No one knows better the power of a helping hand than the person who desperately needed that help in the past. 

The "Pass it on" movement, there was something that reflected the best of humans., You receive help, you receive love and then you pass that on to everyone around you. That is the original example of going viral. 

Get this love out to the world. Get my love out to the world. Let it spread like wildfire. I love you, pass it on.

Stumble, fall, recover...

My prayer:

I am very grateful God, you are lifting the darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my soul. I could breathe today and it felt amazing.

My prayer tonight is for my dear friend. You know the situation. She needs a way out. She needs favor. She needs you God like never before. I lift her up to you God. Have your way in her life.

What God Said Tonight:

Walking this road of life, you will stumble, you will make wrong decisions, you will act in ways that you will regret. 

What I can promise you is that I will never leave you. What I can promise you is that I will always turn it for your good. What I can promise you is that I will always bring you through. 

I have the answer for every mistake you make. My blood covers you, now and forever.  My grace is sufficient.

Bringing you through...

My prayer:

I pray for your will God. Nothing more and nothing less.

What God Said Tonight:

I am bringing you out. I am bringing you through. 

There is more path to travel and more challenges to endure but I am bringing you through. We have been through so much together, now is not the end. There is more. There is more joy, there is more purpose. 

Hang on and we will get there together.

Blinded by the light...

My prayer:

Have I missed the point God? In all of my logical choices over the years, did I miss the point? When did I decide that following my heart was the wrong way to go? How have I ended up with a life devoid of purpose and passion? That was never the plan. But, here I am. Now what?

What God Said Tonight:

I have much to say but I will say it with very few words. 

Your life has purpose, it is me. I am the center and purpose of your life. Saying your life is without purpose and passion is a denial of the truth. 

The truth is you do not recognize the impact your life has on others. The truth is that you have more to do on this earth. The truth is I love you more than you will ever know and that is the love story of your life. 

Look at yourself through my eyes for just a moment. You will be blinded by the light reflecting off of you. Let that same light give you the passion and the fire to move on.

Life with God...

My prayer:

I don't have anything to talk about tonight God but I am always ready to listen. What is on your heart?

What God Said Tonight:

I await your answer. I have called. What do you say? It is not a requirement but it is a request, I have saved you. What I am talking about now goes beyond that. 

My offer now is a life with me. Not just a life after death with me but a life with me, here and now. I am with you forever. I will always be here. But, if you want, we can live life together now like we will one day in heaven. No barriers. No road blocks. Just you and me. 

What is your answer?

Find the joy...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your help and guidance, most of all your will in my life. I ask for a few days of joy and rest before I have to jump back into the battle. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Each day has gifts within it. Don't forget to pick them up and enjoy them. I promise you, I will put joy in every day. Make it your mission to seek it out. Make it your goal to find the joy. 

I love you my daughter and I am with you now and forever. This battle is not yours. It really isn't, even though you are on the front line. I will fight it for you. You, look for the joy.

Maturity and choices...

My prayer:

I am trying to switch it up God. Trying new things, new perspectives. Not because I think I can really make a difference but because if I don't do anything, well, I don't think I can keep doing nothing. The season is too long to wait out and do nothing. 

So, please know, I am not making the changes to take control. I am not making changes because I don't trust you. I am making changes because I am tired of not making changes. 

I don't know if this is right or wrong. I don't know how it will turn out. I do know that above and beyond anything I think and do, I pray your will is done, in everything.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Changes are not an issue. I never want you to be my puppet. I only want you to be my child. To grow in my love. To know that I am your strong tower and your safety net. I am your Father who takes care of you no matter what. 

That does not mean that you can't make choices and changes, take risks. It means you can and I will be there with you in all of it. 

Obedience is no longer an issue for you. Authority is no longer an issue for you. You have grown your way through those. You are now in a time, where your maturity, the maturity that you have earned, can guide your choices. 

In that maturity, you seek me and my will and I will show you. I will speak, but only when needed. Your choices will guide you in this season. My will shall be your light, your vision for the future but your choices will guide you. 

I love you, now and forever.

Take a minute for God...

My prayer:

Making progress God. One step at a time. Thank you for your help and favor today. I will need it again tomorrow, and the next tomorrow, and the next tomorrow...

Thank you for being so wonderful God.

What God Said Tonight:

So many people going so many places all at once. If the whole world would take one minute to slow down, breathe. Just one minute. I am here in the breath. 

I am waiting for you to set aside the millions of competing needs and open yourself to receive from me. Take a minute and let me fill you up. Let me love you., Let me speak into your life and your future. Take a minute to listen. 

I love you. Take a minute for me today?
