LIfted above the trouble...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am not sure what to pray about tonight. Normally, on New Year's Eve, I do a review of the year with you. This year, I think that would take us way past midnight. 

There was loss this year and unimagined grief but there were so many blessings as well. At the end of it all, I am grateful for you. I am grateful for all you have done and are doing in my life. I am grateful that I get to walk into the future with the assurance that you are guiding my steps. 

I love you SO MUCH!!

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on my timing will be a theme that you can remember from this year. 

I have so much more for you. We have really only just begun. But do not worry yourself about the future. What will come. When it will come. I will prepare you. I will position you. Keep following my lead and everything will fall into place at the right time. 

I love you now and forever my child and I will not leave you. I am your Father and your God. I am your savor and you brother. I am the Spirit in your lungs and I will lift you high above the troubles in this world. I will keep you in safety during the storm. I have nothing but good plans for you. 

Happy New Year my child.

Path of destiny...

 

My prayer:

I am grateful for the changing season God. Not so much in nature just yet but in my life. Thank you for showing me how to make this change with integrity and class. You know how hurt I was and how angry and left to my own, I could have really done some damage to myself and others. But you, in all of your wisdom and love, provided another way. A MUCH better way.

Thank you for your guidance, your healing, and your love.

What God Said Tonight:

Leaving this season is a natural step on the path I have for you. I have provided the way and therefore, the way is easy. 

The only hard part of following my path for you is trusting and waiting for the path to open up. Everything else is easy. You have walked the hard path of faith and now it is time to glide along the easy path of destiny. 

I love you. I have provided for you. I won't ever stop. 

Not stopping now...

 

My prayer:

You are amazing God. Thank you for all of your help today. Thank you for your gifts, blessings, and lessons. I know I can be slow to learn the lessons sometimes but you never give up on me. Thank you Daddy. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

There isn't much to do and there isn't much to say. Today is complete and tomorrow is yet to come. In this night, in this moment, I give to you peace. I give to you rest. I give to you the assurance that I am in charge and I will not let you down. 

We have come so far together and I have no plans of stopping any time soon. We are in this together my child, now and forever. I love you. Rest and recover tonight.

Cherishing...

 

My prayer:

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Jesus! Happy Birthday to you! What an amazing day of celebration it was today God. A celebration of beginnings. A celebration of you! Thank you for being you and saving us.

What God Said Tonight:

A healing day. A joyful day. Today was meant for my people. It was meant to remember that all things start small. It was made to remember that I came to earth, not on a blazing horse of glory but as a humble and vulnerable baby. There was one reason for that, I love you and want to know all I can of you. 

The sacrifice was needed but the method, how we accomplished it, that was because of you. That was because of how much I loved you and that I wanted to know life as you know it. 

My children, there is something so unique about being alive as a child of God on earth. It is unlike any other experience and it is coveted. Don't neglect cherishing your life. It is not perfect but it is beautiful. Remember. 

Purpose and calling...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. My thoughts are all over the place tonight. I don't know what I want or need to pray. That usually means I need to close my mouth and open my ears. I pray your will be done.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting is hard and the last pieces of waiting are the hardest. Your tomorrow, your promised land is so close you can taste it but you remain in the desert a little longer. Walk these last steps of your journey in the desert with integrity so all you can to leave it in peace. Your leaving will create a wake, a void, but it is one that is needed to create the change. 

I have a purpose and a calling on your life and there is nothing that I do in your life that doesn't help more than you. From the time you were young, you were a catalyst for my will, my glory, my blessings, and my love. I pour it into you and as you spin, you spread it to all of those around you. It is my best way of reaching those who don't know me yet. 

Your life will be a standard, a light they can point to. It is not a perfect life but it is a loved and blessed life and people see what I can do through you. Your ministry, right now, is to live and let the world around you see you live, in my presence and in my will. I love you, you are covered, now and forever. 

A new day...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God, you have been so good to me. I come tonight with nothing to ask but to just be in your presence and hear your voice. I praise you God and sit at your feel in your glory.

What God Said Tonight:

Never has there been a more valid time to rejoice. The world may not agree. The circumstances may not seem right. But in truth, there is so much to celebrate. 

A new day is coming, a new season, and this season is going to be unlike any you have seen. It will be a time of fulfillment and a time of true focus on the love that is most important in the world. 

I am placing you to live out a life of love. Showing my love through you. You have been prepared and you have been healed. All that is left to do is love. Let my love be your beacon and your signal. Let the world see my love shining through you and let it be drawn to it. Everything, and I mean everything, takes a back seat to love. There is nothing more important in this world or the next. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Rejoice...

 

My prayer:

It is finished God. Thank you so much for moving me into this new season. Thank you for guiding me. Thank you for providing for me. 

I pray for healing of the damage done in this last season. I pray for favor in this new season. I pray protection and guidance on those I leave behind.

THANK YOU JESUS!!

What God Said Tonight:

The heavens are rejoicing with you tonight my child. The praise and glory of God is ringing through the heavens. We are filled with joy that you have come to this time and this place. 

No weapon formed against you can prosper. It is finished. 

I love you now and forever my child. Nothing can change that.

Turn it around...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I do not understand how you have brought me through the last few days but thank you for sustaining me. I see you moving, I see the next season on the horizon and I have deep and profound hope. 

Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

Each day and each moment has value in itself but also has value in what it adds to the whole. 

You have not wasted your time in bitterness or fury and that is good. I can use any situation to help you, to grow you. I can turn anything that is meant to harm you around for your good. 

Continue to trust me and look to me and I will show you the value beneath the circumstance. I will show you the blessing in the mess. 

I love you daughter and you are exactly on the track that I have ordained for you. Do not doubt and do not waver. I love you now and forever my child.

God's wrath...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for your guidance and help today. Thank you for your direction. Thank you for showing me maturity and grace in an unexpected place. 

I pray for your favor tomorrow God. It could be a really important day, It could be stepping into the next season. I pray above everything else, that your will be done. I pray that nothing get in the way of your will. I pray that nothing delays your will. I surrender to your will, knowing that whatever tomorrow holds, you will walk me through it.

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have your heart and I will not let it be broken. I have your heart for protection. 

A weapon has been formed against you but it will not prosper. My wrath is unleashed on those who come against my children. 

I will make you whole. 

I will vanquish your enemy. 

I am done. 

One day closer...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God, thank you for the time today and the direction. This is a hard season but I believe it is nearly done and I believe you will guide me through the remainder of it. Thank you for all of the reassurance and for always taking such great care of me. You are such a good Father. 

What God Said Tonight:

Each day is one day closer to the promise. I have not forgotten my promises to you. I have not withheld them. The promise is yet to come in its given time and each day brings you closer. 

When you cannot find any joy or anything to be thankful for in a day, remember that you are one day closer to the promise. Be glad in that. 

I love you and I will walk you through each day in glory.

Death has no sting...

 

My prayer:

Heaven has gained a new citizen and he is amazing God. Please take good care of him. He loves you like crazy. We are going to miss him so much. The world doesn't seem quite right without him in it. I knew this day was coming but it is still so hard. 

Thank you for letting me know such an incredible man. Thank you for the comfort you provided throughout the day. Thank you for the vision of him with you in heaven. I know he is happier than ever and finally out of pain. Remember that he loves to run and bike and be outside. Remember that he loves to fly and to be in the mountains. I know you know him better than any of us, so I don't know why I am reminding you, but please give him his eternal reward. Never has a man helped more people and been more humble. I pray every moment of eternity is pure joy for him.

What God Said Tonight:

Come let me wrap my arms around you. Rest  your head on my shoulder. Take your rest in me. 

A loss this great will take life from you. It will leave you drained. I am here to refill you. I am here to remind you of all the things you already know. 

Death has no sting for those in Christ. 

Greater purpose...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am still not sure what you are up to but still trusting you are up to something good. Each day you give me just enough grace, just enough joy to bring me through the ugliness. Thank you for bringing me through. I will be so grateful when this season is done but in the meantime, I am grateful to be walking through it with you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have taught you what you needed to learn. I have sustained you through the worst. I will walk you into your promised land, that has not changed. I am only waiting on the perfect timing. 

There are so many consequences of moving too soon or too late on this. My timing will be perfect. Your job remains to trust me. Trust my timing. Trust that while you may not be able to see the reasons, please know that I do not do anything without purpose. A purpose, greater than your own, is being fulfilled and is near completion.

I love you now and forever.

Surviving death...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for my friend and her family who lost her brother today. 

So many people are dealing with death right now. Partly due to the pandemic but it seems like there are so many others too, and some for completely unexpected reasons. I am grateful that because of you and the salvation you have provided, we often only have to say good bye for a season. But, it can be so hard to say good bye, even when it is just for a season. 

I pray for your comfort and healing for those left behind. I pray that you welcome those who are leaving us here on earth and take care of them. They are precious Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

A life lived is a good life. The lives on earth were never meant to be eternal. Eternal life is only possible and only desirable when you are living with me in my Kingdom. 

A day will come when there is a new heaven and a new earth and death will no longer be a part of that picture. But until those times, death is a passage, a conduit, into an eternal life with me. You may well miss that person while you are a part but you shall take joy in knowing they are waiting to see you again, soon. 

All of my children are so soon to be reunited. The time is growing so close. 

The moon, the stars, the sky, the sun all are vying for you day and night. Keep your eyes on me my child and I will lead you to your promise land. 

Stepping stones...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. It has been a week of closing things down in preparation for a move. Thank you for your continued reassurance that you have a plan and a future. Thank you for your continued promises of blessings over my life. In these times of extended waiting, I really need that reassurance. 

It has felt good to prepare and to see movement. I am also grateful for all that you have taught me in this season. Being able to reflect and journal all of that has been an important part of saying good bye and I am grateful to recognize that all of the nastiness had a purpose. 

I meant what I said today. I am committed to change moving forward. I have seen the mirror held up to me clearly and I never want to have to learn this lesson again. I ask for your help with that change. 

What God Said Tonight:

Never before and never again will there be a season quite like the one you are in. These are unique times and circumstances but as you are seeing, even in these times I can find ways to bless you. I can turn it for your good. I can make sure that the hardships you have endured are stepping stones to take you the next level and not weapons that will crush you. 

You are my child and I love you more than you will ever know. For me, to me, you are perfect. But for as long as you are still living in this world, there are things we can change to help you and to help those around you. 

The goal, the everlasting goal is to spread my love. If there are things in you that block that conduit, that keep people from seeing my love in you, those things we will change. But know that you, you I do love with my whole heart and you have been made perfect in my eyes. 

Go, rest. There will be more to do tomorrow.

Secure future...

 

My prayer:

I am too excited to sleep tonight God. This opportunity that you have shown me, it is almost too good to believe. Is this what you have been preparing? I am trying not to get my hopes up too much. It is a real long shot and the only way I will get it is with your favor. The great thing about that is if I do get it, if they offer the position to me, I can know that it was your doing.

Awesome God, above all things, your will be done. Help me wait for that will to be accomplished.

What God Said Tonight:

Just breathe. Everything is in place and happening just as I intended it. 

You will see your dreams fulfilled. You will reconnect with your passion. You will see great things accomplished in my name. 

I am your guide, your Father and I will not leave you here. Your future is secure.

A forest...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for another really wonderful day. 

I still am concerned about the future but today was wonderful. I am trying all I know to get through this season but today I realized, all I know and all I can do will not be enough. I realized today that I have come to that place of surrender. 

Whatever you will God. I will trust you to bring me through. I was not meant or designed to face the demons that are attacking my life. But you are all powerful and you have promised to take care of me. 

I surrender all to you God.

What God Said Tonight:

A forest is beautiful from a distance and when you are in the middle of it. The experiences are different. From a distance it is a carpet of beautiful green. When you are in it, it is a comforting hug from nature. One beauty is not greater than another, just different. 

Each lesson in life, each season lived through, has its own beauty. This is the beauty of surrender and trust in me. It is a beautiful moment and one that I cherish.

I will not let you down my child. You can trust me with your surrender. You can trust me with your vulnerability. I will protect you. Now and forever.

Not harmed, not broken...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for my family, my friends, my home. Thank you for your provision, protection, and salvation. Thank you for your healing power in my life. Thank you for your purpose and calling on my life. Thank you for your will be accomplished in my life. I give you thanks God.

What God Said Tonight:

Worry has no place in your life tonight. I blanket you with me peace, my joy, and I wrap you in my arms. You will not be harmed. You will not be broken. You will not be used for purposes other than my own. 

I love you my child and I will turn all things for your good. Sleep and rest in my love.

Purpose...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a beautiful day God. Every moment was like living in a Christmas card. 

I have struggled today with some worry about the future. I am trying not to. I am trying to trust that you have it all under control. Some days, some minutes, I do that better than others. Everything you have been telling me for months now is that you have a plan and it is a good plan. I just pray for help to survive the timing. 

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is not your own. You have given your life to me and I will see you through. I have given you passion and drive for a reason. I have given you favor for a reason. I have given you love, for a reason. 

You are my child and I have called purpose into your life. I will not leave you to stagnate and mold in a situation that is no longer meant for you. I am here and I am on top of it. Let the open doors lead you. Let my peace lead you. Know that it is all working according to plan and for your good. 

I love you child.

Grateful heart...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for confirmation. Everything I am hearing these days is about the importance of gratefulness. I commit to you that I will do all that I can to find gratefulness in each day. Thank you also for the revelation and I pray that you help me to leave that part of me behind. She is not a part of my future.

I love you God. I am all yours.

What God Said Tonight:

A grateful heart is a listening heart. A grateful heart can receive every blessing I have. A grateful heart positions you to enjoy the moment you are in and prepares you for the blessings of the future. 

There is much to complain about these days. There is much that you can choose to worry about. But, if you have the courage to choose gratefulness, that will open up a whole new life of joy like you have never. known. 

I love you my daughter and I am grateful for you.

Not letting go...

 

My prayer:

I made it God. Thank you for bringing me through. I pray that the next week be a time of restoration and moving forward. I pray for your healing in me. I pray that every scar be washed off of me so that I can walk into a new season without baggage from the last one. I love you God. Let me hear our voice tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Your heart is in mine. Your life is in my hands. I will not take my hands away from you. The need is too great. 

Opportunity...

 

My prayer:

One day at a time, one moment at a time, sometimes one breath at a time. That is how I am living right now God and it is working, at least right now. Right now I am healthy. Right now I am at peace. Right now, I am grateful. I pray for your help to live in the right now and trust you for tomorrow. I love you Father.

What God Said Tonight:

An opportunity is on the way and it will be all that you hoped and more. 

You are here with me and I am guiding your steps. I am leading you to glory. My glory. You have trusted me in so many things, trust me in this. 

This too will change my love. Each moment, each day, those are what you have and I will fill them with moments of joy. I will keep you safe in the storm. I will see you prosper. 

Season of protection...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't know how to live the rest of the season without getting damaged. I don't know how to face the toxicity and not let it scar me. I am trusting you. I know you have a plan. I know that the next season is coming but I don't know how to finish this season. Guide me. Help me. Show me how to get through this.

What God Said Tonight:

Haven't I healed you? Haven't I protected you? You see the shadows of those who plot against you and those who would see you harmed but it is not the shadows that you need to think about. It is the light you should think about. 

Think on how I will see you through. Think about how I will bring you out. Think about how I will protect you against those weapons formed against you. This is a glorious season for me to show how I take care of my children. 

Think, just in this last week how many times I have kept the devourer from your door. I will continue. No matter the plans and no matter the plots, I will protect you. 

The next season is upon you. In these final breaths, keep in your mind how I will make you victorious. 

I love you sweet child. I am on your side. Who can win against you?

Coming together...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day God. Filled with adventure and rest and accomplishment. I come tonight without any new request but only to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

It is all coming together. The pieces and the timing. It is all coming together. 

You are free to rest and to enjoy this time because I am taking care of everything that needs to be taken care of. I am your God, your Lord, your Father, and your savior and I will see you in your promised land. 

I do not tell you this as a revelation. I tell you this as reassurance that I have not left you and I have not failed you. I tell you this so you may hold onto the promise in the waiting. Let my promise be your life preserver. Let it be what you hold onto as you float through the remainder of this season. You are nearly done with it.

Screaming in your face...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for resilience God. 

So often in my life, I think that I cannot take one more minute of "it" and every time, you give me something that gets me through. It might be a call from a friend, unusual beauty, or sometimes just a sense of peace. 

Thank you for getting me through today. I do fully believe that I am going to be stronger and more at peace than ever on the other side of this season. You are building a resilience in me that I think will be really valuable. 

Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is never about just one thing. You may be focused on one thing, often the thing that causes the most pain. But there are always so many other aspects that you may not see but are there none the less. 

Today, there were several moments where you stepped outside of the experience that was shouting in your face and saw the other aspects, the beauty, the calm, the joy. I know you may not have been able to stay in those places for long but you saw them. You took that moment to be in them. That is important. 

That is a skill, an ability that will bring great fullness to your life. In any given moment, take a minute to look away from the the thing screaming in your face. It may be the loudest but it is often not the most important. 

I love you my sweet daughter. You are blessed.

Exception to the rule...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God, thank you for today. Right now, I am ok. I don't know what tomorrow brings. I don't know when you will bring this next season. But, right now, I am ok and I am grateful for it. 

You are my Father, my teacher, and my savior. You heal me, protect me, and prosper me. I love you at a deep level within me that is so much a part of me, I cannot imagine being without it (and I don't want to try). 

I am yours God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Green is the color of spring, ice white the color of winter. When you see green in winter, it is more beautiful for being in contrast to the season. 

I will bless you in the desert seasons. I will strengthen you in the season of adversity. I will make you the exception to the rule. 

I love you my sweet daughter, now and forever.

Smoke in the wind...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day today God. My day was wonderful but the strife and division in the world took another step up. I pray for peace in our country and in our world. I pray for peace in our families and our neighborhoods. 

I worry with all of the isolation associated with COVID-19, we will all be living our lives more and more on line and getting the filtered stories and inaccurate information that drives us apart. God I pray that you give us each discernment and wisdom to understand what is true and what is manipulation. 

Above all I pray for your will to be done.

What God Said Tonight:

A time is coming when all men and women will be on equal ground. It will not matter who you are or where you come from. Things such a skin color and hair length will be so unimportant we will not even notice them. 

In this time, the only thing that will be important is whether you know me or not. In this time, the only thing that matters is that your name is in the Book of Life. 

I love you my daughter and the things that divide you today will disappear like smoke in the wind. 

I am here. I am still in charge. I will see you through this season as well.

Not just for you...

 

My prayer:

Made it through one more day. Definitely living one day at a time right now God. 

You would think, I would think, with all of the seasons of waiting that I have been through, I would be better at this. But it doesn't seem to matter how many times you show me the wait is worth it, during the waiting, it is REALLY HARD. 

Ok, I am done complaining. Thank you for bringing me through and thank you for whatever you are planning for me.

What God Said Tonight:

I have created you to live a life of integrity. I have created you to be a reflection of my love. I have created you to be my child and to live this live fully immersed in my love. 

A time has come that is trying to challenge that in you. It is only a challenge, an  attack. It is not personal. The attack is more against me than it is you. I will show everyone that I am the God of everything and that every blessing comes through me. 

There is an important message that will come with this change in season for you. It is not just for you. It is for so many of my people. That is why the timing is so critical. If it as just for you, we would have moved into this season years ago. But, it is not just for you. There are many messages for many people in this next season and the timing must be perfect. 

Thank you for trusting me with the timing. I love you.

Enjoy the ride...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father, you brought me through another tough day. Thank you. I am not sure what you have planned but I am hopeful and know that you love me and have good plans for me. 

Tonight, all eyes are on the elections. However it turns out, I pray for peace here in the US and around the world. I pray God that we look more to you than at each other. We have a lot more challenges to face and facing them together will work a lot better. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Peace I give to you. Not as the world gives it. I have said this to you before. My peace is not dependent on the circumstances. 

This season is a great season of trust It is a season of change. In these seasons, you can stress out about the outcome or you can trust me and enjoy the ride. It truly is a choice that is yours to make. 

I love you. I will not forsake you. I am with you now and forever. Rest well in those facts.

Palm of God...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for open doors. Thank you for paths forward. Thank you for always taking care of me. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and cannot imagine my life without you.

What God Said Tonight:

A day, a week a month, these are whispers in the wind. The are fleeting and once gone, nothing to be concerned about. 

I have you in the palm of my hand in this time and I will not let you go. You are firmly within my grasp, my will, and my plan. 

A life lived, your life lived is worth the world.

Removing the sting...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today was really hard. 

I pray that you heal my heart and soul tonight. They got pretty beat up today. Please help me hold firm to who I know I am in your eyes. Please help me to remember that my confidence is in you. 

Thank you for your promise of a change coming soon. Your blessings are truly wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't take today seriously. It was an attack but it was also a twisted perception of the truth. 

The attack was not from anyone or anything carnal. There is only one enemy in your life and he threw it all at you today. 

I am your Father and I know you the best. You are my royal priest, my child, my love and I will never let you fall. He knocked you to the side a bit but I will not let you fall. 

Breathe in and receive my healing, my love. Breathe out and let it all go. Let every last word go. It cannot harm you. I have removed its sting. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Prosper...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for today. Thank you for clarity of purpose and direction. I pray that open every door you want open and close every door you want shut. I can begin to see your plan rolling out and I am excited to see where it takes us. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

What God Said Tonight:

See what I have for you. See all that I have for you. Tomorrow is taken care of. Rest in my promises. 

I will see you prosper wherever you are. Just like I did with Joseph and so many others. I will prosper you in the middle of a mess. I will prosper you in the midst of tragedy. It does not take the right circumstances for me to prosper you. 

I love you my sweet child, now and forever.

Follow...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for a wonderful weekend full of joy and snow and reasons to relax. I pray and ask for your direction and guidance as I go into the work week again. Teach me what I need to know and tell me where I need to go. I love you God and I trust you. I pray your will be done.

What God Said Tonight:

Rest and know that my plan is yet in motion. I have not forgotten you and I have not forsaken you. In the midst of all that is happening, my thoughts and my plans are still for you. 

I will lead you into green pastures. I will love you throughout eternity. My love will heal you and those around you. My love will strengthen you. My love will guide you. 

Follow my love. Follow my peace and you will walk into a mighty promised land.

Thoughts...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for help over my thoughts. My mind can race and dwell on things that I know are not right, not good, not anything that is helpful to me or anyone else. I can feel it happening but I so often seem to have little ability to stop it. I ask for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

A thought is nothing. It has no substance, but it has great power. A thought is the initiation of nearly everything. Thoughts are powerful, but not all powerful. 

I have dominion over the world and I can have dominion over your thoughts but only if you want me to. Only if you ask. I love you now and forever.

When you give me dominion over your thoughts I will fill you such great love. You will see others through the lens of my love. That is what it means to have the thoughts of me. My thoughts, all of them, are 100% steeped in love. 

Self identity...

 

My prayer:

Well, life certainly is not boring these days God. You have blessed me so abundantly in so many ways. I sometimes wonder if the struggles and attacks are really that bad or if they just seem bad because everything else is so good. I honestly don't know. But, I do know that you are in charge, you love me, and you will guide my steps. That is really all I need to know.

What God Said Tonight:

You are bathed in purple robes of royalty. You are set on a high platform and you are honored. You are the high priest's son and you will not be defeated. 

All of these things are true for you, not because of anything you have done but just because of who you are and who I am. It is not something to be proud of but it is something to be confident in. 

Never seek the approval of those around you. It will lead you into dark places. Never try to prove your worth, it is already proven. 

I am your God and I have established you, now and forever.

Vanity...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Another wonderful day. Thank you for every blessing and the peace of today. I am walking back into the battle tomorrow but I am calmly confident with you in front, beside, and behind me. Thank you for everything.

I ask for forgiveness and help with vanity. It snuck up on me a couple times today. It is really ugly and I know you don't like it. Thank you in advance for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

A lot can be said for taking the time to identify and name the thing that has ahold of you. Things like vanity and pride, anger and wrath, they are related but not exactly the same so identifying them is half the battle of overcoming them. 

I am your strength and yor power against every affliction that comes after you. I have healed your body and I have healed your heart. I can and will heal this too. 

I love you daughter and we are not done yet.

Odds stacked against you...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for bringing me through another week God. You are amazing and how you bless me is incredible. The world tries to break me, almost every day but you block the blows. Thank you God for being my protector. Thank you for every guardian angel who has been assigned my duty. They deserve overtime benefits! Love you God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

No weapon formed against you will prosper. It is a promise I have over your life. 

I will see you victorious even in the situations where everything is stacked against you. Those are my favorite battles. When there is no way you can win, I get to step in and make you win anyway. That is fun. 

I love you sweet daughter. We will win again tomorrow.

Be present, be patient...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am not sure what to pray about tonight. You are amazing and you have promised that you are taking care of everything, including me. My job is to wait and trust. 

It seems like I am doing an ok job of that right now. It is taking a lot more to get me rattled. That either means I am trusting more or I am just going numb. I think it is the first one, trusting more. But sometimes, I get it wrong and don't even realize it until much later. 

Maybe that should be my prayer tonight. Show me where I am getting it wrong and help me to get it right. Not just in trusting vs. getting numb, but really in everything. Is that even possible? Well, with you, all things are possible.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting gives you tie to think, to reflect and that is a good thing. Self reflection, working to improve yourself, these are all good. 

But the truth is, right now, I just need you to be present, be patient, and trust me. I will guide your steps. I will show you which paths to take. I will open doors and I will give you favor. 

I love you sweet daughter. Follow me.

Constant change...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your help and favor. I pray that you help me to keep my eyes fixed on you. I know that you have a plan, although I have no idea what it is. 

I bind the spirit of offense off of me. God, I know that pride is my enemy right now and I pray for your help to set it aside.

Thank you Father for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on the next season is not something to avoid or to dread. Truthfully, most of your life is waiting on the next season. You spend very little time in a place of stability. 

In this world in particular, change is constant and it is in the change that you should hang on to my peace. I am the God of all, including change. Recognize that change is constant and your anxiety over when the next season is coming will dramatically decrease. 

I love you. I have you in the palm of my hand. I will help you now and forever my child. 

Live on...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I believe you are about to receive a really amazing man in heaven. You know him better than I do. You know his heart. You know his generosity. You know his love. He is going to fit in heaven so easily. 

He is going to leave a lot of us behind here on earth and life will be harder without him. I pray for your comfort and healing for all of us. I pray for his family that you bring them peace and wholeness. I pray for all of the people he has helped and touched in his lifetime, there are so many. Help all of us God to live life with the legacy he left behind. Never forgetting him but living our lives through the amazing influence he had on each of us.

Let the angels sing when he gets there. He loves music.

What God Said Tonight:

My heaven is not full. My heaven is a temporary holding place while we wait for the new heaven and the new earth. 

I will care for your friend. You know I love him but I promise you, I will care for him. I will heal his family. 

A life well lived is missed when they are gone but in truth, they are never fully gone from the earth. They live on in the people whose lives they touched. He will live on in you. 

Don't waste it...

 

My prayer:

Today was definitely a day where I just put one foot in front of the other and moved ahead. I have no idea where we are headed God but I know you have a plan. Keep guiding my steps. 

What God Said Tonight:

Every action and reaction are pieces to the puzzle. 

A life well lived is  one in which you grab the opportunities and blessings I bring but also one where you face the challenges and see both successes and failures. Life is an experience you will carry through eternity. It is a special and precious time that you may not fully appreciate until you are in eternity with me. 

There is a precious joy to the experiences of a finite life. And while you have an eternity with me, there will be a day when you leave this world and this life. Don't waste a minute of your life here on earth . I tell you each moment is precious.

Overwhelming...

 

My prayer:

Facing a new week and a new opportunity to trust you. I am not sure what you have planned but I know that it is good. I pray for the patience to wait for your plan to unfold. I want things to move forward, to change so much that I am worried I might try to force it. 

The good news is, I know from experience that if I do try to force it, it will just fail and leave room for you to do what you planned in the first place. 

That is truly all I want God, your will to be done in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

I have plans and plans within plans. There is such intricacy and detail that I cannot begin to explain it but I promise, it is for your good. I promise that your plan is a vital part within the larger plan. I promise I have not forgotten you. 

The things that seem so large and overwhelming today will not take up so much space tomorrow. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever my child, my love.

Follow peace...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your guidance and most of all, your will in my life. Was today an open door, or the beginning of one? Or was it just a distraction? 

Lead me down the path you want me to be on. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Peace. Follow peace. Where you find peace, you will find my will. 

I have made a way clear and it will give you great peace. Walk in that peace and you will find yourself in the destiny I have for you in this next season. 

I love you my child.

Practice grace...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for today. Thank you for your reminders that you are in charge of my life. 

There is so much to fear and worry about, it can be so overwhelming and it just seems to build more and more every day. But everytime it seems like it is too much, you take me aside, remind me who I am and who you are and your peace fills me. 

Now, maybe more than any other time in my life, I am SO GRATEFUL to be your child. Thank you for saving me and redeeming me God. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for everything.

What God Said Tonight:

Now is not the time to be too focused on right and wrong. You are going to get a lot of things wrong in this season. You will not be able to help it. 

This is a season to practice grace. Practice grace with others and practice grace with yourself. As my child, as a reflection of me, that is what I ask of you in this season. 

When you see someone making a wrong choice or acting poorly, now is not the time to point a finger and judge. Now is the time to give them grace. To turn the other cheek. To forgive, again and again. Now is the time to recognize that your own thoughts and actions, while purely motivated, may be entirely incorrect and, your response needs to be to treat yourself with that same grace and forgiveness. 

I have redeemed the world. I have sacrificed for just a time as this. Your focus and full commitment in this time needs to be to grace. I love you sweet child. Rest well tonight.

Purpose and calling...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for today awesome God. You just peppered the day with beautiful little blessings. It made it much easier to get through the hassles that today brought. 

Thank you also for all that you are teaching me right now. I believe I will be a better person on the other side of this. Not perfect, but better. 

I love you God. Thank you for caring enough about me to teach me, to change me.

What God Said Tonight:

I have spoken to your heart. I have molded you like clay. I have refined you like gold. 

Would I spend this much time on you if I did not have a purpose on your life? Every child of mine has a purpose and a calling and yours is not over, it is barely begun. 

I love you and trust me, tomorrow will bring brand new things to your life. Let each of them be a celebration because they are my will for your life. Welcome them, every one of then. They will lead you to the next season where life and joy have no measure.

Safe...

 

My prayer:

I pray for your protection tonight God. Place your hedge of protection around us. Keep your guardian angels on guard. Keep us safe, protection, and whole. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

You need not live in fear, of anything. I am God almighty and I am your Father. 

I will guide you and protect you. I will lead you away from danger and I will fight to see you protected. I am your hedge of protection. I am your God. Nothing that threatens you shall get near enough to harm you. Nothing that is against you will prosper. 

I love you and I will keep you safe. 

No mountain...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for perspective tonight God. I love you and I am grateful for all that you have done for me. I pray for your careful protection for all of your children.

What God Said Tonight:

No mountain high enough to keep me from you my child. I love you now and forever. 

Clean slate...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for bringing me through this day God. I was not super proud of how I handled it. I could have been kinder, more patient, more filled with your peace. I wasn't. 

I pray that the fruits of your Spirit grow in me so I am a better reflection of you.

What God Said Tonight:

A day, a week, a year, even a lifetime is nothing more than a fleeting dust cloud in the wind. 

Eternity is where you live my daughter. Eternity is the yardstick of your life. 

Today is past and tomorrow will soon be gone. Let me erase the shortfall of yesterday and today and start each day, each minute with a clean slate. It is one of he benefits you have as a child of mine. 

I love you. You will have good days and bad days. But I will love you in them all. Shake it off.

Running water...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I think you may have told me to do something today that would be very hard to do. I appreciate that you also said it is not time yet to do it. 

I pray and ask God that you guide me and help me to do what you have asked me to do. I want your will to be done, I want to do your will but to be very honest, I fear the ridicule if I do this thing. Prepare me and the situation if this is your will God. Let me know when it is the right time and help me to say what needs to be said in the right way to accomplish your purpose.

Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Not every task for my Kingdom has to be a big and planned out event. I have a plan in this and when it is time, it will be so natural that you will do it and not even realize you have done it. 

I have a purpose and plan on your life and I only tell you of this thing ahead of time so that when it is done and you are second guessing what you have done, you can look back to this moment and realize you were only carrying out my will. I have a message that needs to be said and you are the one to say it, when it is time. But don't stress about it. It will flow like running water from your spirit when the time is right. 

Hide...

 

My prayer:

Here at the end of this day, I am grateful to be safe and well and in your presence. You are my everything.

What God Said Tonight:

I have lifted you above and I have hid you away in this time. My children, hide in my arms. Hide in the palm of my hand. Gather to me and I will see you safe and well. 

I love you. You and your life, your needs, they are of the greatest importance to me. When it is rough, reach out to me. Don't wait until it gets "bad enough" Bring it to me so we can deal with it as a puppy and not a full grown dog. I love you. 

Community and relationship...

 

My prayer:

Today was an interesting mix of experiences God. Thank you for your favor. Thank you for the time to reconnect with some people. There were definitely challenges today as well, not all of which I faced well. But, thank you for your grace and mercy that fill in where I am lacking. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Each barley head is made up of many seeds. Each seed has many parts. I have created you to live in community, in relationship. 

You see it all throughout nature and you have yet more to discover about the depth of the relationship of things. You can drill down to the smallest bits of manner or scale up to the solar systems and universe and you will see the same patterns. Smaller things coming together to make larger things. Then those larger things coming together to make even larger things. 

I am your God and I am the Trinity. I am built upon community and relationship so you, made in our image, are definitely built on relationship. Know that your part, no matter how small, is a part of the bigger plan. And that plan is part of a bigger still plan. And so on and so on. 

I love you my child.
