God love...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I realized something today. You almost always give me what I ask for but sometimes it is so subtle or it takes awhile and I don't even realize what you have done until later. Several years ago, I remember saying I would like to spend more time in a particular area but I didn't have any reason to go there so I forgot about it. Now, you have moved the salon right in the middle of the neighborhood so I will be going there all the time. 

Such a small thing but when I realized it, I started thinking of all of the other things like that. When I need more business, I ask, you provide. Sometimes before I even get done asking! Other things take longer, but you always come through for me. 

Don't get me wrong, it is not like you are some giant Santa Claus or ATM. But you bless me, over and over and over again. Thank you for every blessing, even those that I didn't recognize at the time.

What God Said Tonight:

A kiss and hug is a reflection of love. The depth of love is felt through action. 

I, not living in a body on earth right now, don't have the luxury of giving you a hug and a kiss in the physical realm. I do have the ability to rain blessings on you. I do have the ability to show you favor in every situation. I have the ability to remind you of my love each day. 

See my love in the blessings of your life. Feel my love through the struggles of your life. Live in my love always.

Waiting and hope...

My prayer:

It has been a week of gaining new perspective. Seeing life and me from different angles. Thank you God for new perspective! It is amazing how different everything can look when you look through someone else's eyes. 

You are wonderful and always giving me what I need, even when I don't know what to ask for.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting a day, waiting a lifetime. The;y can seem like the same thing. In the waiting you never know when it will end so all waiting seems as though it will go on forever. 

It won't. As a matter of fact, I can promise you that all waiting will end, sooner or later. 

Your times of waiting are valuable. They give you time to get ready and they give you a sense of anticipation and hope. 

Hope is one of my greatest gifts I give to you. There is healing, there is salvation, there is peace, and there is hope. Hope is the fire that drives you. Never let go of your hope in me. I love you.

In God's hands...

My prayer:

Satan had all of his demons out for sure today God but you protected me. You helped me. You made impossible things possible. How many car accidents to you protect me from, just this morning alone? I counted at least three.

I am so grateful for you in my life. I am so grateful for your power and your love. I love being on the winning side.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you engraved in the palm of my hand. You are in my heart and on my mind, always. 

I have not and will not forget your troubles and your needs. 

I think you are beginning to see the options laid out for you. There are more to come. And, just like this morning, if you do not find your way to follow my first directions, I will work out another way that is just as good. 

You are in my hands, quite literally, and I am never letting go. I love you beyond what you can know or understand. Rest in the peace of my love tonight.

Courage...

My prayer:

Thank you for giving me opportunities to be a blessing today. Thank you that the experiences you have brought me through (good, bad and indifferent) can be a blessing to other people.

I am asking for direction God. What is next?

What God Said Tonight:

Opportunities. You are asking for new opportunities. I am a God of opportunities. I work in opportunities and open doors. 

You have more opportunities at your feet, right now than you realize. Some take more courage than others but always remember you are free in me. You are free to do and to choose whatever you want. 

Have the courage to believe in my blessing on your life.

Resurrection...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. You know me better than I know myself. I pray your will be done on earth, in my life, as it is in heaven. I pray for your perfect will to be accomplished.

Thank you Jesus for providing me the access to ask and to pray.

What God Said Tonight:

Adventure is a life well lived. Joy is a life well loved. You have what you need for a beautiful life. You are who you need to be. 

I have planted beauty around you. Please remember to look. Not everything. Some things are truly horrible and ugly. Those things seem to catch your attention. 

It is not the death but the life everlasting that should be your focus. I sacrificed on the cross. That had to be done and was important. But when you think of me, I would rather you think of the resurrection, the evidence that I have bought your freedom from sin. That is the part that is most important. 

The death was needed, it was real, I am not asking you to forget it. However, when you think life, when you think of the resurrection, you have a path forward. That Is what I want for you. Life and a path forward. 

Spend some time meditating on the resurrection. I will show you new revelation as you do.

Relax...

My prayer:

Praising you God for all the of 'little' things that I tend to take for granted. Thank you for a warm and peaceful home, thank you for a Mom who is amazing and who loves me, thank you for friends who love me and want my opinion on things, thank you for food and water whenever I want it, thank you for the best kitty in the world, thank you for a new haircut, thank you for freedom, and more than all the rest, thank you for loving me.

The little things really mean a lot!

What God Said Tonight:

You can relax, I am in control. You can relax, I am working on your behalf. You can relax, I am your God. I love you and I have everything under control. Even those things that look completely out of control. 

Know that while I may not take care of things in the way that you expect, I will take care of them and I will make them work for your good. I love you, now and forever.

Love each other...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the luxury of a lazy day. I feel quite decadent. The world is still crazy and the needs are still great and I am trusting you to take care of it all. Let me know what I can do to help.

I love you and I want to help if I can. 

What God Said Tonight:

A day and a night can fly by so quickly but can be so significant. It is nothing but a whisper in time but the events of that moment can change history. Your actions, especially those you don't even think about, have great impact. 

A smile, a kind word, helping someone who can't help you back, talking to the person that others avoid. These small acts of love and kindness make all the difference. 

This world is nearing its end and you all need each other to move through it and get to the new world, the new heaven. I am your strength but your strength magnifies in numbers. Come to together in love every time you can. Each time,  you get stronger, they get stronger, and you all make it through another day. 

I love you, love each other.
