Who am I...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I have struggled today, and a lot of this week. I feel like I let you down. I have questioned who I am and what I am good at. But then at other times this week, I realize I am just being overemotional and over critical. During those times, I shake it all off and experience that joy that only comes from you. 

So, what is real? Do I have an issue going on with my identity? Have I forgotten who I am in you? Have I forgotten who you are? Or, am I just being hormonal and overemotional? 

Awesome Father and teacher, if there is something I need to learn or change, please show it to me, crystal clear. I will do it, or I will try to do it and keep trying. If this is all in my head, I pray for peace that passes understanding and the joy of the Lord to be my strength. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Who you are is my daughter. Who you are is perfect in my eyes. I made you, I have seen you grow and I have celebrated that growth in you. 

Today is not a day to start something new. Today is not the day for you to strike out on your own to find a new path or a new goal. 

I am with you in this and in everything and I will guide you and lead you. I have much to teach you but this is not about a lesson. This is something different.

Waiting for tomorrow...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. What an amazing week you gave me. I expected the worst and you gave me favor, joy, health, and love. Living life with you is incredible.

While you were working everything in my life out for my good, there was a lot of bad, truly horrible things happening in the world. It is hard to imagine things getting much worse in the world but you have already told us that they will. You have also told us how it all works out and that we have a place with you in eternity. That is the only way I can live here and not lose my mind. Keeping focused on you and the future I have with you, that keeps me sane and let's me enjoy the amazing things you bring to my life. 

Thank you for choosing me, thank you for dying for me, and thank you for loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting for tomorrow is only possible when you have the assurance of me today. 

I am your God and I will see you perfected in the blood and sacrifice of my Son. I have planned an eternity and you are in it. Remember to look to me in every battle and struggle and celebration. I am with you always. 

And, breathe. Everything will happen in its own time, including my return to earth. I will not delay one moment longer than I have to. 

Ride it out...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I am worried about tomorrow but trying to give it over to you and trust that you will work it all out for my good. 80% of the time, that trust and knowing that you will take care of it all is ruling my heart and my head. 20% of the time, I start to spiral. 

I am trying to hold on to the absolute fact that no matter what happens, you will take care of me. There is no situation that could occur that would have you turn your back on me. I know that much at least. 

I place this situation in your hands Lord and I choose to trust you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am here. I have never left. 

The tragedy you fear has not happened. You fear the possibility of it happening. You fear the threat of it happening. That fear and that threat are not real. The situation exists but it is not the threat you perceive it to be. 

Rest tonight and I will take care of everything in the morning. I have you carved in the palm of my hand and I love you more than you will ever know. Ride this out in my hands, under the shadow of my wing, showing the world that you belong to me and I will bless you in all things. Now and forever my child.
