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.
My prayer:
Awesome God of the universe. the answer to everything that ever was or ever will be. God you are so much bigger, so much more than I can ever imagine. And, the concern I have tonight, that I need your help with seems so small, but I can't think of anything else.
God, my kitty hasn't come home yet tonight and that is not like her, especially when it is cold. I am worried about her and I want her back home and safe. So, God you tell me to bring you everything. You say there is nothing too big and nothing too small. I am taking you up on that. Please bring my Tess home safe. It is too cold for her to be out there. You gave her to me and she is such a great companion. I am not ready to be without her. Thank you God for hearing me and taking care of her. In Jesus name, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
Waiting is never easy. I know your worries and I will give you peace if you allow me. I care about the concerns of your heart. If it is important to you, it is important to me. Just like you often tell me that the things that are important to me are important to you. That is part of what love is about. When the things that are important to the person you love become important to you for no other reason than they are important to them.
So, yes, I hear your prayer and I will take care of it. I love Tess too. You are my precious child and I do not want you to be in pain unnecessarily.
I have a lot for us to do and I need you focused. I need you to hear me and to understand what is coming next and as long as you are picturing the worst with her, you aren't hearing me clearly.
You feel me with you now. You feel my breath, the breath of life. Inhale deep and be life and light to this world. Be my walking praise report. I love you daughter and I will take care of this and everything that concerns you. Your concerns are my concerns and my concerns are yours. Your life and everything in it is what I care about. Trust me for the little and the big. I will not let you down, I will never let you down. Be in peace and leave this in my hands tonight.
My prayer:
My God, my Father, my love. God you are not just mine but you are at least mine.
Your love is so amazing that I don't want to keep it to myself. In most areas of my life, in most relationships, I want to be the most loved, thought most highly of by the person. Pretty selfish, I know. But with you, your love is so good, I don't want to keep it all to myself.
I want every person on the planet to experience that love. Not just because it assures their salvation and they get to live with us in heaven forever. But also, because your love is so amazing, right here right now. I want them to feel your love. I want them to see your favor in their lives. I want them to hear your voice God. I want them to know you. I want all of this for them just because it is so GOOD. It is completely and totaly good.
So, tonight I pray God that you give everybody an experience of you. It is a big prayer but you are a big God. I pray God that you give the people who know you a fresh, greater level of intimacy with you. I pray God that you give the people who don't know you a real, powerful and undeniable experience of you tonight. God, pour out your love on them, heal them, love on them, fill them with your peace. I pray and ask it in Jesus name, amen.

I am with you now and forever. Receive me and I will keep you close. It is time for you to receive all that I have for you. I have so much to give you and so much to share with you. I have been waiting for you to be ready and that time is here.

My prayer:
Well my God, we made it! This was one crazy week but we made it!! You are amazing and I will never stop thanking you for all of the favor you showed me this week. I hope I made sure everyone knew that it was you making me successful and nothing I was doing except following your lead. God you get all the glory. I am just grateful to be along for the ride!
God I pray that your perfect will be done in every situation in my life and in every situation in my friends lives. Your will God. Nothing more and nothing less. That is such an easy prayer these days God.
Thank you for showing me I can always trust you. Thank you for showing me that your will is always the best. Thank you for showing me that you really can and do turn everything for the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose. Thank you for letting me love you and for calling me.
What God Said Tonight:
Why don't you wait and see what I have for you next. You think this week was good and crazy? It was nothing compared to what is coming next. The next thing will blow your mind.
Do you see how each day, each week, each month and each year builds on the last. I want to take you to high places and I need to build you the platform steps to get there. That is done with gradual growth. Sometimes not so gradual.
You are building the steps that will lead you to heaven. You are building the steps that will lead you closer to me. You are building the steps that will remain long after you have used them. They will create a stairway that anyone can follow. Make that stairway public so the world can follow you.
Continue to build each step with me and before you know it, you will look down and not be able to see where the steps start any more.
I love you so much daughter. Take each step, not worrying about our ultimate destination but trusting as you build each step and climb onto it, that there will always be another step, another level, another height to reach.
Your life is destined for greatness and you will look back in awe. I have created you for a purpose and I have a great plan. Build and take each step so you can get there on time. I love you daughter. Time for you to rest now.
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.
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.
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.
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.
