My prayer:
Mighty God, my Lord, you are so Holy, Amazing, beyond words. Thank you for such a great day! You got so much done...just like you said. I got to end it with one of my most favorite friends.
People are kind of amazing God. You made us each so unique and yet we all have things in common with each other. I love that you made us so we can connect with each other but kept us totally unique. Kind of like snowflakes, they are all made of ice and might have similar crystals but everyone of them is completely unique. Hey, you made snowflakes too!
God, I revel in who you are tonight. God show yourself in people's lives. Let them see the real you. Not the image we have turned you into over the years but the real you. God I pray that you shake off our preconceptions and what we think you should be like and show us the real you. The you that has always been and will always be. The you that created the universe and called it good. The you that died that we could be saved and live. The you that loves us more than we can ever understand. Let us see YOU God. I love you God and pray that everyday I get to know more of you.
What God said tonight:
Ah daughter, it is my greatest desire to show you the "real me" free of every misconception and lie that has ever been told about me. It all gets in the way of our relationship and anything that gets in the away of that is inherently bad. I long for you to see me just as I am. No more and no less.
I need you to let go of what you think you know in order for that to happen. I need you to see me with fresh eyes, like a child. I need you to come to me as a child without the scars that life lays on you. You can only do that with the complete healing offered through my son Jesus. His blood can bring you to the innocence you need to really see me.
Leave behind everything that stands between you and me and let me give you fresh new eyes to see. Read the Bible with fresh eyes, like the very first time. See the things that have been hidden because you have read it before and you know what it says. My word is living and every time you read it with fresh eyes you will see new levels and new layers of meaning.
I have layered meanings so that you can continue to dive deeper into the word and rise higher in your spiritual walk as a result. But we get there when you have fresh eyes to see.
I love you daughter. You will see me. You will know me just as I am because it is what you want and it is what I want. When our desires are aligned, nothing will stop it.
I love you. Rest now so we can finish tomorrow what we started today.

Give me an excuse...
My prayer:
Marvelous God. Mighty Father. Awesome Ruler. How are you tonight? I am beat! You were not kidding that we had a lot to do this week!! I am ready for vacation God. I can't wait for a weekend with some of the amazing women you have put in my life, the mountains and you. Thank you God for the work and thank you God for the rest. You are so amazing God. What do you want to talk about tonight?
What God said tonight:
It's important to recognize the season you are in. It helps you to know how to focus your energy. You are in a busy season, a season of a lot of opportunities. You are in a season where you need to remember how to say "no" sometimes but most importantly remember to rely on me. You know when you do, we get it all done. I will never leave you to do it on your own.
Just like today. You really thought there would be no way for you to get done at work in time for your commitment tonight but did I or did I not help you to get it all done exactly on time? Don't forget that the ability to get more done than seems reasonable is me and not you. Your "efficiency" is partly my gift to you to see how to get things done in the most efficient way but a bigger part is when you put forward the effort, I can mutiply your effectiveness.
I am the God of multiplication. I can multiply anything. I can multiply your effectiveness, time, money, anything. Anything you give to me, I can multiply. If you want something, anything to multiply in your life, start giving it out and I will multiply it back. If you want more money, give money to my church and I will multiply it back. If you want more time, give it in service to me and my people and I will multiply it back to you. If you want more love in your life, love me and my people and I will multiply it back to you.
You will always get back more than you give. It doesn't make sense to you but that doesn't make it less true. You are my daughter and I will take any excuse to bless you. Give me an excuse. I love you sweet daughter. Be confident in the truth that you know.

Jealousy...
My prayer:
Awesome God, light of my life, my everything. I love you so much. I am so grateful to you.
I know that I have a lot of growing to do right now. I know that you need me to work on this jealousy that I am suddenly struggling with. I don't know where this is coming from God. It's not usually a problem, but lately, I am really having a tough time.
It seems like the things that I want so much, the opportunities are going to everyone around me and not to me. God, I understand that this is an opportunity to grow. I understand that when I get through this I will be more loving and a better reflection of you.
That being said, I need your help. I need your help to get the thoughts out of my head. I need your help to remember that you have a plan for each of us and that my plan is right for me. I need your help to love the people who are getting what I want.
God, I hate that I am having this struggle. It is ugly and I know better but there it is and I need your help. Thank you God in advance for getting me through this like you have every struggle in my life so far. Thank you for the opportunity for growth that this is. Thanks for your help.
What God said tonight:
Good job. Always better to get this stuff off your chest. Always better to give it up to me and ask for my help instead of letting it stew inside of you and get bigger and bigger until it is all you can see.
Jealousy is so damaging. It is an evil thing that tries to distract you, alienate you and separate you from the people I have put in your life. It is a lie from the devil who wants to isolate you so he can hurt you. When you are surrounded by the people who love you and are praying for you, he has less of a chance to get at you. When you are isolated, he can start talking to you more and lying to you more.
Don't let him lie to you. Every time you have a jealous thought, recognize it as a lie from satan and get angry at him for lying to you. Take control, bind him, and loose my Holy Spirit and love over your life. Take control of this lie, this attack, as I have taught you to do. It cannot control you as long as you rely on my power to take control. Call on my name, on the name of Jesus and take control.
You are now free, stay that way by taking control on the spot at the first inkling of that jealous thought.
I love you so much. We will move through this and you are right, you will be better, more loving and a better reflection of me on the other side of this. I have such great things especially for you. Rejoice in the unique and special blessings that I have for each of my kids.
I love you. This next level will create a prism effect of my love for you that you will not only reflect my light but you will reflect it out in a prism of brilliance. Like a diamond sparkling in the sunshine, that will be you. My diamond lighthouse.

Mixing it up...
My prayer:
My God. You are really interesting. I am fascinated by you. Every time I think I have you figured out, you shake everything up again. God, I am not sure what is next. I don't know how it is all going to happen, but I know that I know that I know that you have a purpose. I know the promises you have made on my life and I stand on those promises. I believe in those promises and I trust you God to make them happen in my life.
God, I am going to keep putting one foot in front of the other, doing what you have told me to do so far. If that changes, if you want me to change direction, let me know really clearly. Speak to me loudly so I don't miss it. With everything changing around me, it makes me wonder if I should change what I am doing, but you haven't told me to change. You haven't given me a different assignment that I know of. If I am missing it, please let me know. Do what it takes to get my attention God.
I love you God. Thank you for today. It was good. I pray God for your help through this week. I pray for your help to see the opportunities to help people and be a blessing. I pray for the ability to get all the things done that need to get done. And God, I pray that you prepare me and my friends for the retreat this weekend. I believe you have something really special for us. You don't bring women like this together for no reason. I love you Daddy. What do you have for us tonight?
What God said tonight:
It isn't time for you to change. I am mixing things up just to get everything into position. But this is not a surprise to me. I always knew that I would do this. I always knew that this is how we would get to where we need to go.
Why do you think I have been telling you that a time was coming where you would need to trust me like never before? You are on the right track. There are things and people who were slightly out of position and this shake up is getting everything in place.
Remember to continue to keep your eyes on me and not on the storm around you. You are where I need you and that is all you need to be concerned about.
There will be a time where I will need you to change. In reality, you are constantly changing. Life is change. But, as far as your assignment, what I need you to do right now, that has not changed yet. You will stay on this course until we have accomplished all that we came to accomplish and then you will move on.
You have all of the next steps. Keep doing a little each day as you have been and we will get it all done on time. Trust in me everyday to be the rudder of your boat and the wind in your sail. You are my lighthouse, reflecting my light but you are also my boat going out to accomplish what I need you to do. I am your rudder and the wind and I will guide you where you need to go. But don't start up your own motor and try to fight my direction. Don't start trying to get it done under your own power. You will get off course then. Let me move and guide you.
I love you my sweet daughter. We have a lot of great stuff to do this week. Be ready.

Know that you know...
My prayer:
God, my God, my Lord, my everything. You blow me away God! As I review the things you have told me over the last year, as I review the journal and blog entries and see how you have moved and worked in my life...I am blown away. Your promises, your word, your words are true and powerful and can be trusted. You God can be trusted.
It sounds stupid when I see it written out. I mean you are God, of course you can be trusted. But, knowing that and KNOWING that are different things. Knowing it in my head and knowing it in my heart are different things.
God, I love you. Thank you for being in me and in my life. Thank you for all that you bring into my life. Thank you for never getting frustrated, bored or annoyed with me despite me being a bit slow to get it, to understand sometimes. God you are so amazing. I love you so. What do have to say tonight? What is going on with you? I am here God, loving you.
What God said tonight:
You know that you know that you know that I am God. You know that you know that you know that I will complete every promise in your life. You know that you know that you know that I love you and will never leave you. You know that you know that you know that I am God.
I have waited a long time for you to get to this point. I love you so much and have loved all the days of your life. But now, now that you know that you know that you know, now we can move forward and do the next great thing. Not just the next new thing but the next great thing. We are going to experience things together that you cannot imaging right now.
Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for seeing the hints, the clues the confirmations that I have given you. Thank you for paying attention.
I love you. You are saved, you are healed you are delivered. You are mine. I claim you my child and will stand for you forever. I will be on your side no matter where we are. No matter the circumstance, I will be on your side. You are my cause and my reason.
I love you, appreciate you, and I wrap myself around you tonight in perfect union. In this unity is power. In this unity is a new level of love. Stay with me, don't rush off. I love you sweetness. Be mine forever.

Pour it out...
My prayer:
Awesome God I am grateful to you. Thank you for such amazing friends. How is that you have filled my life with such incredible people? God, these people who care as much about me, or more, than they do themselves. Friends to laugh with, pray with, cry with and to love.
You have made me rich God. I spent so much of my life not recognizing the value of people. Thank you God for showing me how you see people. Thank you for giving me your eyes for people. People, friends (and really everybody is a friend, it is just I haven't met some of them yet) are so amazing and so beautiful. Not perfect, but so beautiful! You God made us and you did good.
I love you Daddy. Bless my friends. Pour out your blessings on their lives. God, make their dreams come true. Love them even more than I can. Fill their lives with your love and your purpose. Keep us connected that we can bless each other. I love you so God. I love what you have taught me. God make me the blessing. Let me be the blessing in the lives of your kids. In Jesus name, amen.
What God said tonight:
My daughter, I created you to be the blessing that you pray for. You are what I intended. Give out what I have given you consistently. Every bit of love I have shown you, every bit of joy I have given you, every bit of strength, everything that I have given you, give it away. I will give you more. But I give it to you just so you can be that blessing you ask to be.
I love you daughter and I ask you, pour it out. Like the widow's oil, pour it out. But you won't ever run out of vessels because you are filing other people's vessels. Keep pouring and I promise it will never run out. My blessing, my love, my joy will never run out. I have an unlimited supply and want to pour it all out on you. Make room for it by pouring it out on others.
I often call you my lighthouse, which is true, but you re also my pitcher. My pitcher full of oil, blessings, anointing. Pour it out on everyone in your life. Don't hold anything back from them. You give your everything to me, which I love. Now I ask you to hold nothing back from them.
Everything you have, pour it out and I will fill you. You have always wanted to be my hands and feet, now more than ever is the time. I love you servant daughter and now is the time. I often fill people to overflow. Like a full glass of water, I pour more in so they overflow onto the people around them. You, you I want to bend over and pour it out. I don't want you to wait for me to overflow, I want you to pour it out. I will never let you run out, but I want you to pour it out now, bless people now, share now. Don't hold back and don't wait.
I love you and will help you. Be my pitcher and I will be your oil.

I love you and will help you. Be my pitcher and I will be your oil.

Share everything...
My prayer:
You are so truly beautiful. You are so amazing and so beautiful. You're here, now and so beautiful. God I worship you. I love you. I surrender everything to you, right now and right here. I hold nothing back God. I hold nothing back from you. Everything in me is already an open book to you, but I make a conscious choice to give you it all anyway. I love you. God you presence is amazing. Just sitting in the midst of you. Your presence all around...so beautiful. What do you have for me tonight God? What do you have for us?
What God said tonight:
This is good. Your getting use to being in my presence all of the time. I want to be in every part of your life. I don't want to be relegated to Sundays, or to "prayer time." What if you had a husband and told him you only wanted to see him on Sunday or only twice a day during a time that you pick? I am guessing he wouldn't be your husband for long.
I love you so and this, this consistent constant togetherness is what I want. I want to share everything with you. I want to be in every relationship that you have. I want to be in your work. I want to be in your play and in your rest. I want to live with you in your home and drive with you in your car. I want to laugh with you and cry with you. I want to be with you always. When I say that I don't just mean that I want to be with you forever, although I do, but what I mean is that I want to be with you always, all the time. When you are awake and when you are asleep.
Now, I have promised you that I will never leave you, so truth is, I am always with you whether you realize it or not. But when you realize it, when you sense my presence, when you remember me, share with me, talk with me, and invite me to be a part of everything...that is special. That is what I want. That is when I can really move in your life. That is when I can help you help others. That is when we can accomplish anything.
I love you. I love you. Keep me close. Recognize me in every moment. Live with me in you and will see great things. Do you love this as much as I do? Do you love this closeness like I do. I can feel your heart and know that you do. My sweet child. Tomorrow will be awesome, amazing and filled with more opportunity to experience me.
You are so truly beautiful. You are so amazing and so beautiful. You're here, now and so beautiful. God I worship you. I love you. I surrender everything to you, right now and right here. I hold nothing back God. I hold nothing back from you. Everything in me is already an open book to you, but I make a conscious choice to give you it all anyway. I love you.

I love you. I love you. Keep me close. Recognize me in every moment. Live with me in you and will see great things. Do you love this as much as I do? Do you love this closeness like I do. I can feel your heart and know that you do. My sweet child. Tomorrow will be awesome, amazing and filled with more opportunity to experience me.
