Looking back...

 

My prayer:

Today was a bit of a flashback to what my life use to be and it made me more grateful than ever for what you have changed my life into. Thank you for the peace and sanctuary that you have created in my life. It is better than I ever could have imagined God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Looking back is not a problem as long as you don't stay there. Looking back is always meant to be a brief glance to recognize what is behind you. It is not meant to be a focal point. 

Keep your eyes forward and you will move forward. Keep your eyes looking back and you will crash. 

I love you sweet daughter. Look ahead to all the joy we have before us.

True peace...

 

My prayer:

You brought me through the fire today God, thank you. 

It is amazing to me how the day can start out with complete chaos and turmoil, then you come in and everything becomes calm. Sometimes you tell me what to say but so often, you just resolve it from the core and what seemed like a life changing conflict, becomes a distant memory.

Thank you for being the calm in any storm and for leading my words and my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Not all conflict is bad and not all peace is good. 

Peace, the peace that I bring is based on a core truth that i am in charge and will work all things for your good. That is a peace that will last. That is a peace that is true. 

Beware of the peace that comes from compromise. Beware of the peace that comes from withdrawal. That is not true peace and that peace will one day erupt into a greater confrontation than you could ever imagine. 

Don't be in such a hurry to find peace that you bury the cause of the conflict. Sometimes, letting the conflict play itself through, trusting me with the outcome, is the best path to healing, wholeness, and lasting peace. 

I will guide you in this and in all things. I am your Lord and I am with you and for you, forever.

No rush...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thank you for your guidance and creating new connections, new family. 

I pray your will be done. Take us wherever you want to take us. Lead us wherever you want to lead us. We will follow you.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting isn't hard when you love where you are and trust where you are going. There is no rush for this coming season. It will come in its own time. 

In the meantime, enjoy what I bring you each day. I am a God of great gifts. I am a God of great abundance. Your life is evidence. Do not hide it. Rejoice in it. Let the world see what the Lord has done.

Kindness and love...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for the deep message today God. I think you revealed for me a pretty deep wound that I didn't even realize was there. 

I pray God for your healing power to heal me. I pray for you grace to fill me. I pray that you make me whole.

What God Said Tonight:

A hole, a wound, is not always something we recognize as it happens. A chronic wound, one that has been there for a very long time is something you learn to work around. You barely even notice it until someone bumps into it. 

That is how some of your wounds are and I needed to bump it a little today to remind you that it was there. I never bring these things up unless I have a plan to heal you from them. I never let you hurt without having the balm to heal. 

We are embarking on a journey that will bring you to a place of kindness and love that you have not known but that I need you to live in for our next season. Sit back and receive. This will not be hard work but it will be important to experience. 

I will make you whole.

No more work...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am wiped out. I pray for restoration and rejuvenation. I am at the end of my energy, I am going to need yours to take over.

What God Said Tonight:

Breathe in, and out. Slowly, again. Relax into my arms and trust me to care for you. 

My child, I don't need you to do anything tonight. I only need you to trust and rest. There is no more work, not tonight. No more work in giving and no more work in receiving. Tonight, you are done. 

As you always say, it is calm time. Enough, for now, it is enough. 

I love you now and forever my child.

The winning side...

 

My prayer:

A busy but rewarding day God. Thank you for the continued healing that you are doing in me. 

Today was a reminder that I still have some emotionally tender areas. I still assume that the worst is coming, once in a while. I hope and pray that someday, that is completely gone. There really is no basis for it. You bless me at every turn. You literally turn all things for my good. I have come to trust that about 89% of the time.

I am ready for the day where I trust it 100% of the time. I don't know if that is possible but I aspire to it. Love you Lord!

What God Said Tonight:

You get there through trust. You get there through turning every worry into prayer. 

You don't realize it but that is what you did today. You felt the worry and you prayed for my favor. And, of course I gave it to you. 

We are a partnership. We are in this together. I will lead, guide, and favor you in every situation that you bring me in. In the end, you will always be on the winning side because you will always be on my side. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

We win...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Jesus. Today was a challenge. I am absolutely not complaining. You have been blessing me so much lately and making it all so easy, a little challenge, a little stress is no big deal. And, you led me through it. Everything that needed to get done got done. We get to start fresh tomorrow.

Thank you God for always meeting me right where I am and giving me just what I need in that moment. Your way is so much better!

What God Said Tonight:

Every stretch makes you stronger. Every challenge makes you smarter. 

I am yours and you are mine and I will fight the battles for you. Sometimes I will fight it in front of you so it can't even come near you. Sometimes I will let you stand in front but I am right behind you to make sure that you are victorious. 

Either way, we win. 

I love you sweet child. We will walk in victory again tomorrow.

Under God's wing...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father and Savior. My gratefulness, my thankfulness, is so deep I can't express it. You continue to bless me to overflow. Thank you for teaching me the depth of what that means. Abundantly, more than I could hope or think...yes, that is what this is.

What God Said Tonight:

Sweet sounds of praise from your heart, from your spirit. I hear your words but I feel your heart. 

I have created you for such a time as this. 

There are many trials, but they will not touch you. There are many struggles, but you will not fight them. I have you sheltered under my wing and will keep you there. 

This is our time. 

Just ask...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. You did it again. I asked for your favor and help and you made an impossible situation possible. Thank you. All glory to you. Many lives are going to be touched and improved by you turning this thing around. You are truly amazing.

What God Said Tonight:

Never has there been a time, a circumstance, a situation that I have not been willing to help. I am always here for you my child. But I do need you to ask. 

I don't intend to intrude on your life. I will not be in your life when you don't want me to be. But, when you ask, when you invite me, I will show up every time. I may not always change it in the way you want or think it should be done but I will always work it for your good. 

Just ask. Never forget to ask my child.

Good gifts...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. I don't always know what you are up to but I always know it is for the best. Thank you for the birthday gift. Seeing the jump in people coming to see what you have to say was such a blessing! I remain in awe of you and what you do in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Every gift has blessings for the giver and the receiver. Every good gift blesses even those who are only witnesses to the gift. 

I am the greatest gift. I came to bless you, to bless me, and to bless every witness. 

I love you now and forever. You are my friend and my sister. You are the reason I was willing to sacrifice and suffer. Your heart is precious to me in ways I cannot describe to you. Your soul is made perfect in my blood. 

I love you. That is the reason for it all. I love you now and forever.

No shame...

 

My prayer:

I feel like a broken record but I have to thank you for another wonderful day God. Thank you for taking care of all of us. Thank you for putting us in this amazing place. Thank you for rest and peace. Thank you for being so amazing and being my God. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

There is no shame in rejoicing in the blessings. Blessings are made for rejoicing. 

There is no shame in being grateful. It is a grateful heart that keeps you young and filled with joy. 

I will see you for another wonderful day tomorrow my child.

Every day, joy...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thank you for how you take care of me. Thank you for finding and showing me answers to complicated issues. Thank you for having your will completed in my life. You are amazing and I am honored that I get to live life with you.

What God Said Tonight:

Life on the mountain has great views but life in the valleys has its benefits too. Finding the beauty in where you are at is 99% of the battle to live a life fulfilled. 

A purpose is important but even more so, finding peace, joy, and beauty where you are right now makes every day a joy. I know life in this world is much less than perfect. The coming new heaven and new earth will be such a shock. When you see the world I intended you to live in, the life I intended for you to live in, it will bless your socks off. However, until then, you can find your heaven on earth. You can find joy. You can find it all when you let me in. 

I am yours, now and forever my child. Every day, joy.

Balance...

 

My prayer:

Your favor is a pretty amazing thing God. You surround me with wonderful people and you bless my work. I am so grateful for all that you do for me. 

I pray that everyone know and see that any accomplishment any goodness in me is directly attributable to you. I pray you get ALL of the glory. 

What God Said Tonight:

A top doesn't stop spinning until it falls out of balance. If you are in balance, you will spin, you will thrive. It is only when you get out of balance, either by something that happens to you or something you do yourself that you begin to fall. 

Find your balance in me. Lean on me in good times and bad and I will keep you balanced and thriving. I can bring success in any circumstance. I blessed Joseph in the jail. I can bless you where you are.

Freedom...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Jesus. Freedom has such a deeper meaning when I consider it in relation to the life you have given me. The life you sacrificed for so I could have it. You have given me freedom from death. You have given me freedom to live. Incredible and almost unbelievable, but it is true. 

As we celebrate freedom here in our country today, I celebrate also you, the ultimate provider of my freedom. 

What God Said Tonight:

Sweet daughter. I celebrate with you. Your freedom came at a cost but it is a price I would pay a million times over. 

You are free to love, now and forever.

Ease into the flow...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today definitely had some surprises in it. I am not sure what you have planned but as long as it is your will, I am up for it. And if I haven't mentioned it enough, THANK YOU for the life you have given me. It is pretty incredible!

What God Said Tonight:

Ease into the flow. Keep your head up and let me guide you down this way. It is an easy trip if you trust me and just glide along. 

I have some fun things around the corner. Some things I have been holding up for you until the time was right. The time is right now.
