Changes...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for your guidance and thank you for your peace. I feel like I have learned so much from you this week. I pray that I can hold onto the knowledge and not slip back into old comfortable ways.

I pray for help to live in the new knowledge you have given me.

What God Said Tonight:

A new night, a new day. No change is ever really expected but everything is always changing. It is a paradox that you can know that everything is always changing but be reluctant to accept the change that is in front of you right now. 

I love you and the changes I bring you are always for your good. I will see you through them and on the other side, there is a life that is one day better than yesterday. 

I love you sweet child. Rest in my love.

The core...

My prayer:

What an interesting week God. Thank you for bringing me through so much and giving me the experience and empathy to help others going through similar things. That is something you have done my entire life. There really is nothing that is wasted. You turn everything for my good and then you use it to help others. That makes for a pretty good life. 

I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

There is a core that is building. A solid, strong, calm core that is building and growing everyday. This core will be the foundation of the future. This core will be the platform that the next season is built on. 

You are a part of this core and this core is being built in you. Each of my children have this core being built within them and when they come together, the combined core that is formed will be strong enough to hold up the world. 

I love you, now and forever.

Orchids and weeds...

My prayer:

Today was not easy but I did feel your peace throughout it all. I pray for your continued guidance and favor God. This world can be a tough place to live. I am grateful I don't have to live here without you.

What God Said Tonight:

A weed can grow anywhere, even in places you don't want it. An orchid needs very specific conditions to grow and to thrive. Which is more valuable?

It depends on what you need. If you need just the beauty than the orchid is valuable and rare. If you need something that will thrive with little to no attention, than the weed is your best bet. 

I love orchids but I love weeds too. Everything has a place and a purpose in the Kingdom of God. 

No need to worry...

My prayer:

Mighty and amazing God, thank you for today. 

One more day and it is back to work. I am trying to focus on being present in this moment and not losing out on the joy and beauty you have provided by thinking about the future. I am trying, but I am not being very successful.

I love you Father.

What God Said Tonight:

You do not know what tomorrow brings. You may think you do. You may think that you can predict what is going to happen next but you can't. If this year has taught you anything, it should be that you cannot predict what comes next. 

I love you and while I can't always let you know what is coming, I can always promise you that I will be with you in it. I will provide for you in it. I will help you in it. 

I love you sweet daughter and you need not worry for tomorrow because whatever it brings, I am in it with you.

A great burden...

My prayer:

Awesome God. You are teaching me so much right now. Thank you for the wisdom. Thank you for the discernment. I can't wait to see how you use it all.

What God Said Tonight:

A great weight is on the world right now. A great burden, but it is not the one you think it is. 

A physical illness, no matter how bad, is still just a physical illness. The worst it can do is end this life. When you are my child and redeemed through my blood, death has no sting. 

A greater burden is on the world. It is a burden of substance, a burden of Spirit. It is pressing down and many are feeling crushed by it. I have surrounded my people in this time of crushing. I have you in bubbles of protection. 

Do not be fooled into thinking, because you are protected, because you are not feeling the pressure, that it is not happening. It is but you have special provision as a child of mine and a citizen of my Kingdom. 

I love you sweet child. 

Diamond...

My prayer:

Another amazing day God. I am so blessed by you. Now, my life has not been perfect, that we all know, but you are blessing me like crazy right now and I can't help but get excited and thank you for it! Thank you for everything today God. It was awesome, all of it.

What God Said Tonight:

A diamond does not look so beautiful in its original and natural state. Someone has to come along, cut, polish, and shape it. When done correctly, the beauty of that diamond shines through like nothing else. 

But it is beauty you have to find, you have to work for it. It doesn't just make itself known. 

Your life is like that too. There has always been great beauty within your life but it has taken years of shaping, and cutting, and polishing to let that beauty shine. 

I love you. shine on.

More for you...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I never knew. I never knew that you had this life in mind for me. I never knew I would love it so much. I didn't know this was possible. I really thought my life was over but instead, it was just beginning. It sounds trite, but it is true.

Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself. Thank you for turning everything for my good. Thank you for being my God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have more for you. I will always have more for you. 

We have an eternity together. Your life, your seasons never end. You have everlasting life in me and with that comes a continual renewal. A continual fresh start. 

This life, this season is a good one. The next is even better. I love you.

Right time...

My prayer:

Thank you Father for providing everything and doing it in such perfect but unexpected ways. You are amazing and I am so grateful I get to live life with you.

What God Said Tonight:

Every good thing is only truly good when it comes at the right time. A flower out of season will die. 

I have brought you good things but I have brought them at the right time. When I ask you to wait, it is not because I don't want to bless you. I am not punishing you. It is always because I know that there is a timing and a season to everything. 

Trusting my timing is  a hard thing to learn but if you can, you will experience great joy and blessings for the rest of your life, the rest of your existence. I love you and I will see you blessed in the right time. 

Rest season...

My prayer:

Thank you God for this time off from work. I pray in these next several days that you help me remember what is important and what isn't. I pray for rest, recreation, and rejuvenation. More than anything, I pray that we do it all together. Everything is better with you in the middle of it. 

What God Said Tonight:

Rest is important. Time to refill and refuel is needed. I created you in that way, times for work, times for play, and times for rest. 

Your life is about seasons. Sometimes a season lasts for months or years and other times a season may last a day or a week. Even other times, a season may last an hour. 

In this season, find your rest, find your center, and let the world and its troubles be on my shoulders. Trust me with every worry and every concern. Take this time and enjoy. I love you and I want to see you in joy.

Seek...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful and peaceful day God. I don't really need anything tonight, I just want to be in your presence. I just want to hang out with you in the beauty and quiet that you have provide. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Our time together is precious. It is abundant but that doesn't make it less precious. 

Our time, our love, can never be too much but it can never be enough either. I will always want to spend time with you. You never need to ask. 

Seek me and you will find me. That is because I am always right beside you, behind you, in front of you, waiting for you to look my direction. To seek me. I am not hard to find but you do have to look. 

I love you sweet daughter and lets spend some time enjoying that tonight. Let spend some time enjoying the love. 

SIlver lining...

My prayer:

Well, you were not kidding when you said their would be attacks on my peace! What a roller coaster these last couple of days have been. I pray for discernment and understanding God. I pray for wisdom and direction. I pray, above EVERYTHING else, your will is done.

Thank you for being my Father, my Protector, my Saviour, and my God.

What God Said Tonight:

Every day, every moment, every person is an opportunity to know me and my kingdom. Recognize the value in every experience that it can draw you closer to me. 

In joy, we celebrate together. In trouble, you lean on me and learn to trust me. I am always the silver lining in every situation. 

Do not dread the "bad" times. Do not worry about what is coming next. Know that every experience, I will turn for your good. You are my child and I will bring value out of every moment of your life. 

I love you. Now and forever my child.

Remember peace...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I am grateful for balance and peace. I am grateful that I have finally come to a place in my life where I understand that my worth is not from what I do or don't do but from my heritage in you. I am grateful for this sanctuary that you have given me that I have had the time and the space to finally realize this. 

Help me to hang on to it. Help me to teach it to others or at least model the benefits for them so they want to find this with you. 

We talked about it for so many years. You taught me so many times. But it has taken every year, every lesson, every moment to get me to this place.

Thank you.

I likely have more work to do. As wonderful as this is, I would bet that there are still areas where I need to forgive, to let go, to receive wholeness. But knowing that does not take away from the joy of this peace, right here tonight.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you. I love you. I am yours, now and forever. 

Never forget this moment. Make a memorial, paint a picture, save this writing but do whatever you need to do so you remember this moment. 

There will be attacks on this peace. There will be those who will try to take it from you. It is not theirs to take but they will try. The enemy hates this peace. It is born in pure love and he hates that. 

When the attacks come, remember this moment. Remember this peace. Remember this confidence of who you are and how you got here. 

I love you my sweet daughter. 

God's promises in this season...

My prayer:

You are amazing Father! Thank you for giving me joy, peace, and guiding my life. Thank you for new friends and new directions. Thank you for giving me this new season. It looks to be a really awesome one.

What God Said Tonight:

A season you once worried would be too much for you and now it fits you like a glove. 

I promise you I will never lead you into anything that I have not prepared your for and never lead you into anything I will not lead you through. 

I promise you joy. I promise you peace. I promise you an eternity with me. I promise you challenges to help you grow. I promise you pain that will not last. I promise you I will never leave you. 

I love you my daughter, my child, my heart and I will walk with you always.

Make room for the new...

My prayer:

I started to list out all of the things I am praying for tonight and the list is too long. So, I pray your will is done in every decision, every situation, every person's life. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You spent today clearing out the old to make room for the new. I am doing that in your life as well. 

Let's clear out old ideas, old prejudices, and let's make room for the new. 

I will provide, I will take care of you, now and forever my child. Trust me.

God's peace...

My prayer:

Today was pretty chaotic God. What a great reminder of all you are protecting me from right now. I am grateful to be back home. I am grateful to be in this Sanctuary you have given me. I am grateful that I am yours. 

I pray God for restored peace in me. I pray for your healing of any wounds from today. I pray for your presence to fill me.

What God Said Tonight:

Today was no different other than your physical location in it. I am with you always and everywhere. In the end, no harm done today. 

It will take time for you to learn to walk in my peace in every situation. You have learned to walk in it in many situations and will learn more. 

My peace covers you. My peace comforts you. My peace heals you. 

I have redeemed you in Christ that you may live in my peace and know that our relationship is firm and everlasting. I love you my daughter. Be restored and renewed in the night ahead.
