The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.

Favor...

My prayer:
My Father God.  God, you are so perfect.  You are so incredible.  Your words are always perfect, always just what I need to hear.  Your love is so perfect.  Your favor is so amazing.  I cannot help but be in awe of you. 

God, I have given pretty much all that I had to this day.  It was good, but I don't have much left tonight.  All I really want to do is go to sleep.  But I couldn't do that without spending our time together.  I can't go to sleep without hearing from you.  Your words are like air to my lungs.  I can't live without you.  I love you Daddy.  Speak to me?

What God Said Tonight:
Great favor brings a lot of work.  You know that I have destined you to succeed and I will continue to do so but that doesn't meant that you won't have to work for it.  Favor just means the work will be fruitful and will produce results. 

You will know great success throughout your life.  I love watching you succeed.  Don't let it ruin you.  Don't let yourself get cocky or full of pride. Remember me in all that you do and watch what we can accomplish. 

The fruit, the results, the outcome is what will reflect the heart.  You will be known by your fruit.  When others criticize or get jealous, you won't have to say a thing, just point to your fruit. 

You are my precious child and I will protect and defend you always.  I will guide you always.  I will be yours forever. My favor is not a burden but it is a responsibility. Keep praise on your lips and love in your heart.  Keep me on your mind and enjoy the ride my daughter.  I have destined you to succeed and I won't stop now.

God's full time job...

My prayer:
Awesome God, Father, teacher, healer, reigning King, what is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:
Waiting on me tonight? That's good once in awhile.  I love that you bring me your needs but I love even more when you just want to be with me and hear what I have to say. 

I am proud of what you are becoming.  Yes, your righteousness is like filthy rags but they are some of the nicest filthy rags.  I am proud of what you have learned and what you are doing with it.  I am proud that you are not just sitting on it, that you are using everything that I have taught you and showed you. 

I will prosper you.  I have great plans for you and I will cause you to be successful.  You will win in the end. 

You know that doesn't mean that everything will be easy.  You have much more to learn. You have much more to experience.  To go where we need to go, you must have more of me in you than you do right now. 

You are doing everything you need to do but don't get distracted.   There are many things that would like to distract you from this purpose.  There are many other priorities that would like to grab you, but stay focused. 

I hear your thoughts and you want me to stop talking about you but I can't help it.  You, my children, are everything to me.  If you ask me what I am thinking about, the answer will always be that I am thinking of you.  You are continually on my mind.  I am in constant thought and planning for your future. My kids are my only priority.  Keeping track of you all is a full time job but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

There are so many that I am waiting for.  I am so anxious for their return.  I think about them a lot.  I think about you a lot.  I love you so much. You will never know the full power of my love for you.  It would overwhelm you.  But know that I love you many more times than the best love you can imagine.  Sleep well tonight my daughter.  We have a big day tomorrow.

More beautiful...

My prayer:
Mighty God, my mind is on your people tonight.  You have given your people such amazing talents.  I look around me and I see people who can sing and break my heart, people who can make me laugh until I can't catch my breath, people who can explain an idea with such simplicity and truth that I get an entirely new understanding of it, people who are so pure of heart and so transparent that I can only stand in awe and hope to be like them someday and people who love no matter what. 

How is it that I get to be so blessed to have all of these people and so many more in my life?  How is that possible?  God you bless me.  I love the way you love me.  I adore how you treat me.  I revel in your care for me. 

God you are my everything.  You are the breath in my lungs and the water to my soul.  You are my everything.  You are my reason for waking up in the morning and my peace when I go to bed at night.  You are my Father who takes care of me and my teacher who releases me to apply what you have taught me.  God I love you.  You are all that I will ever need or want.  I am ALL YOURS!

What God Said Tonight:
I want you to picture the best mountain sunset you have ever seen.  I want you to picture the most beautiful beach you have ever been on.  I want you to see the most amazing city you have ever been in.  I want you to imagine all of these things, see them again in your mind and know that you are more beautiful to me than all of these things.  You are more beautiful to me in your mess than the finest crafted art. 

The beauty you see in others is me in them. You see the light that I have put in them.  You should always appreciate that light in them and in yourself.  I put it there so you could recognize each other and so you could fulfill the special and specific purpose I have on your life.  I love you my sweet daughter and I will always treasure you. 

You are my most prized thought.  You are the daydream I fall on when I want to just relax and enjoy a moment.  Let's continue to make amazing memories and share it with the world.  Share your life that you can bless others the way they have blessed you. It will take humility, vulnerability, sacrifice and obedience but you are no stranger to these things  You are my beautiful daughter and I love you more than life.

The meaning of life...

My prayer:
God you are so amazing.  You are so faithful.  You know just what I need and you always provide for me.  God, thank you for the insight of last night.  Thank you for sticking with me through the struggle of trying to deal with it today and THANK YOU for giving me the opportunity to share it with some of the awesome people you have put in my life. 

I feel like things are back on track and back in right alignment.  I feel like I have gotten out of the way and I can't wait to see what you do now!!!  Speaking of getting out of the way, let me shut up so you can talk about whatever is on your mind tonight God.  I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

What God Said Tonight:
You are submitted and that is good. Watch for this particular lie in the future.  You are in a position that pride will always be an enemy.  You must stay vigilant against it.  Pride doesn't like company so keep sharing the struggle and it will go easier. 

People, your community, your family are there for a purpose.  You often see the purpose of serving them but there is a greater purpose of them also supporting you.  The net that is built in true relationship is the key to everything. 

The meaning of life...so many people are always looking for the meaning of life.  It is really easy, it is relationship.  Relationship with me and with each other.  I made you to be in relationship.  I have one commandment above all others to love me and to love your neighbor as yourself.  If you are paying attention, you will see that there is the meaning of life.  To be in relationship. 

Keep your relationships healthy.  Nurture your relationships and everything will come from that.  I love you daughter, I am glad you are doing better.  I know it was a tough battle, but you are better for it.  I love you forever.

Lies...

My prayer:
Mighty God, I am a bit of a mess.  You warned me not to get caught up in what people think of me and to focus on what you think of me.  I heard you, but I am not doing a very good job of it. 

There are so many expectations right now and I don't want to let anyone down. I don't want to but I feel like I am.  I feel like I am letting everyone down including you.  I feel like I am not enough.  I am feeling like a big disappointment. 

Ok, I don't mean to have a pity party, but it is where I am at tonight God and I need your help to do what you have told me to do.  I need your help to focus on who I am to you and in you.  I need your help to follow your lead and not get confused by the millions of things I could be doing. 

I need you God.  I am out of my comfort zone in a big way and feeling pretty scared and vulnerable.  I place it all in your hands and at your feet God.  Please help.

What God Said Tonight:
What is different today from yesterday?  You think you failed today.  You think you let people down.  What evidence do you have for this?  Your entire struggle tonight is born and bred inside of you. You have allowed lies in and it is tearing you up. 

If you think logically, you know what I am saying is true.  You let some lies in and they have grown beyond what you were ready for.  Now they are filling you and eating away at you. Lies will do that.  They are prolific and they multiply with very little effort.  Satan lies because it is such a good weapon.  All he needs to do is put one false word into you and that can grow like a fast growing cancer to take over you entire existence. 

So, treat it like the cancer that it is.  I have shown you how to pray against cancer.  You have to pray that it is killed a the root, torn out at the root, and cast into the pit of hell.  Pray that over the lies and I will take them from you.  I will leave with you the truth.  I will leave with you the proper reflection of who you are and who you are about to be. 

I will wash you clean each day.  I will wrap you in my very own swaddling cloths.  I will comfort you in distress and I will strengthen you in time of battle.  I will heal you in sickness and I will guide you in times of indecision and doubt. I will be your God, your Father and your teacher forever.  I am yours and you are mine. 

I don't have worthless children.  My children are precious and holy.  My children will inherit this earth.  My children are a royal priesthood.  You are my child and I will remind you as much as you need me to of who you truly are.  But sweep away the lies so you can hear it clearly and believe.  I love you daughter.  This was a momentary hiccup.  You are bound for the future I have determined for you and it is good.  I promise.

Forever...

My prayer:
Awesome father!  What a difference a day makes!! Thank you for rest and for renewing my strength!  I was so completely tired out last night but then you gave me a full night's rest (been awhile since I have had one of those!), great fun with Mom today, more rest and a great movie...I feel ready to take on the world!

So much so, I am having a hard time thinking about going to sleep tonight.  I want to go, run, do something somewhere, anywhere!  I feel trapped and restless.  It use to be, when I would feel this way, I would take off on a drive and do my best to get lost.  That is a whole lot more difficult with GPS!  But, I don't think that would really cut it anyway.  I want to go and do something.  I want to do something for you, just because. 

I guess I will need to wait until tomorrow.  There should be plenty of opportunities with church and everything tomorrow.  God I ask for opportunities to bless you and your people tomorrow.  I pray God that you show me the outlet for the amazing renewed energy and strength that you have given me.

I love you so much God.  I truly cannot imagine life without you and I don't want to try.  I am all yours God!

What God Said Tonight:
What you seek is here for the taking.  You can serve me in your thoughts and your actions.  You can bless me with your words as well as with what you do. 

You don't need to change the world, you just need to do that one small thing I have asked of you.  You know the one.  You know the thing that I asked that you are still working on.  I know it takes time but you also know how to get this stuff done.  A little each day and before you know it, there it is. 

I love you so much and you bless me just by being with me.  You will have great opportunities to serve me and my people tomorrow.  I count on you to continue to be faithful.  I plan things around your faithfulness.  I am able to do more because I know you will do your part.  So I will always give you opportunities.  Continue to balance, keep the sabbath for your rest, and do a little each day so we can do the thing I have asked you to do. 

I love you.  I will continue to renew and refresh you.  I will continue to provide you with opportunities.  I will continue to walk with you through it all.  I am God and I do not change.  I am forever what I was in the beginning.  I am forever the lover of your soul and the Father who loves you more than my own life.  I will always love you and take care of you.  I do not change and I do not lie.  I am forever in the place of your forgiveness and your redemption. 

I am forever here waiting for you to call on me.  I am always ready to bless you and to hear your cries.  I am never deaf to your voice.  I will always hear you.  I keep a part of me always alert for your voice.  You don't have to shout, I hear you.  You don't have to beg, I love you.  You don't have to worry, I have got you.  Sleep if you can and we will do more tomorrow together my love.

Circus mirror...

My prayer:
Mighty God, thank you for your favor during the meeting today.  You always take care of me God.  I am so completely grateful to you.  I am nothing but you destine me to succeed every time.  You are so amazing.  God I am not worthy but I am grateful. 

God I feel like I haven't really sat and talked to you about what is on my heart in awhile.  I have been so tired by the end of the day, all I can do is be grateful for what you have done and I don't have a lot of time or energy to think or talk much beyond that. 

Fact is that life remains pretty amazing right now.  I am busy but happy.  I am tired but it is the tired that comes from honest work.  I am not getting everything done that I want but I am getting a lot done. 

And, fact is, everything I need, you provide. Every time I pray, you are there waiting.  Every time I need you for me or for someone else, you show up and show out.  How could I ask for more than that?  I love you God and I love this season we are in.  Thank you for life and for the blessings you are pouring out on me.

What God Said Tonight:
I want you to know something.  I want you to hear something.  It is something I have told you before.  It is something that you have learned the hard way before.  Tonight I don't want you to learn the hard way, I want you to listen to me so you can adjust before there are consequences. 

You are more than your accomplishments.  You don't have to "do anything" for me.  You don't have to do anything for my love.  I appreciate your service.  I appreciate that you want to do things for me but your worth is never based on that. 

You talk of being unworthy and it is true.  But my son came and sacrificed so you could be worthy.  If you don't accept your worth in him it is as if he died for nothing.  I need you to focus on who you are in Christ.  I need you to get your focus off your accomplishments.  I need you to get your eyes off of the approval of others. 

You are falling back into the performance trap and I can't afford to let you.  I need you  too much.  I need you to know who you are in my son.  I need you to see your reflection as clearly as I see you. 

You have been looking in a distorted mirror again, just like the funny mirrors at the circus.  You have been looking in a distorted mirror but you think it is real.  You are not what others say about you.  You are not what have done or what you have accomplished. 

You are a precious child of the most high God.  You are a royal priesthood.  You are a blood bought daughter who's life is so precious to me I sacrificed my own son to have you.  I laid down my life that you could have yours.  Now that you are redeemed and washed clean of your sin, stop seeing it as a part of you.  Stop looking to others to validate who you are and your worth.  Look in the clear reflection of my Word and see who you really are. 

I love you and I want you to remember your position through my son.  I want you to remember your authority that I have given you.  I need you to remember those things and not the circus mirror reflection.  You are who I say you are.  You are successful because I have told you that you are above and not beneath, the head and not the tail. 

See me in you and see clearly.  I love you daughter.  You need to rest tomorrow and recenter.  Get this right and the rest comes easy.
