My prayer:
Awesome God, my purpose and the meaning of my life. God, I found us some new music like you asked and it is pretty awesome; but I just found out the man who recorded it was killed in a car accident last December and I am writing with tears in my eyes. He was clearly a believer and I have no doubt he is with you in heaven, so I shouldn't be sad. It is just odd to have just found his music and find out he is already gone...It leaves me feeling odd mixture of loss and joy that he is with you. Weird that I can miss someone I have never met.
On another note, thank you for the great opportunities to serve you and your people, Great opportunities to pray and connect. I also finally finished the Prayer Campus materials! That took longer than I expected but I am really excited about what you have given me for that God. I think it is going to be awesome and help a lot of people. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
On the world scene tonight, there was the earthquake and tsunami in Japan today. I pray God that you take care of your people. Help them find the way out. Help them find shelter and provision. Comfort them and give them peace dear God. I place them firmly in your hands Lord where they will always be safe.
Locally, we have a pretty big wildfire burning here. I ask God that you put a hedge of protection around your people and their homes God. I pray that you keep them from harm. I pray that you provide for them and give them peace. I thank you God that you, as the Prince of Peace, provide us with a peace that passes all understanding.
There is a lot going on tonight God. Thank you for being big enough to handle it all. I love you God. What is on your mind?
What God Said Tonight:
Wait a little longer and you will see the plan and purpose coming together. I have had a plan for a long time now and it is all coming together right now.
You have prayed for peace for a lot of people today. It seems like a theme and there is a reason for that. It is times like this when it seems like everything is falling apart and in chaos that you most need to trust me and lean on me.
I will bring you peace. I will be your peace in the storm. I will quiet the waves and calm the winds. I will create a place where you can sleep in the presence of your enemies knowing that I will protect you.
I love you and I have a plan that is being lived out every minute. I am in control of your life and I will not let you crumble or fail. I will raise you up and you will be held high. You will be held above the harm and above the crowd. You will be safe in my protection. You, my children will be safe now and forever.
I wait in anticipation of the day when we can live freely together, above the chaos in my perfect peace. I love you daughter. I will protect you and provide you with peace. You and all of my children have that inheritance of peace, now and forever.
Does God still speak to us? YES! These are conversations with God for more than the last 10 years

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.

Perfect love...
My prayer:
Awesome God, my healer, my teacher, my Lord, my Father, my everything. I am distracted tonight and I am having a hard time figuring out what to pray about. I am not sure why.
This was a really good day. You healed me, you healed other people that I had the privilege to pray for (thanks again God!!). You gave me favor at my job. You blessed me all day. You protected me. You were awesome to me all day God.
I love you. Those words seem so paltry. I often say those words throughout the day and I mean them every time but with you...it seems like there should be a different word for my love for you. Just as it seems like there should be a different word for the love you have for me. It doesn't seem like enough to say "I love you." Do I say it enough? Do I show you in my actions and in the life that i live? Do I make you feel loved?
Teach me to love and express love better God. I know it is one of the most important things you have told us to do. Help me to be better at it. Teach me how to love and show love better. Thank you Jesus, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
Watch me and learn to love. I will teach you perfect love if you want to know it. I will teach you how you love a people who put you to death. I will teach you to love the very people who beat you and torture you. I will teach you how to love the robber next door who wants nothing more than the attention being diverted from him for a minute so he can escape.
I will teach you how to love the most unlovable. Thank you for being willing to learn. Love, real love, will change the world. Study, theology will never save on it's own. It is the love that makes the difference It is perfect love that is never jealous, always supportive and always there. You can count on this kind of love.
You are falling asleep on my daughter, but I love you and I will teach you my perfect love. You are very close in many cases. I believe you will be a quick learner, again. I love you sweetheart. Stay safe and whole and find us some new music.

Protected from attacks...
My prayer:
My mighty and awesome Lord! Today was a whole new revelation of how everything is temporary and I am not promised tomorrow. Kind of a wake up call. It helps me to remember to be so very grateful for every day. It helps me to remember that every prayer request is an awesome opportunity for me to serve your people. It helps me to remember not to waste time but to cherish it. God, thank you for helping me to remember and thank you for healing me.
You are so amazing. I don't know what you have planned for the next week or so but it feels like something big is on the way. I can't wait to see what you do! I love you God. Thank you for the reminder today.
What God Said Tonight:
Today was not what it seemed. You were not in the danger that you thought you were and I am fully protecting you, especially right now.
There will be great attacks waged against you in the next several weeks, but I will protect you. The attacks cannot succeed. You are safe in my arms. The car yesterday was part of the the attack. The physical symptoms today were part of the attack. There will be more but do not be afraid. I am with you always. We have much to do yet.
There will be a day when your time on this earth is over and we will be together in heaven forever. That will be a time to celebrate and not to mourn because it will happen when you have achieved all that I have for you to do on this earth. It will be a time of joy and reconciliation. It will be wonderful but it will not be premature. It will be in my time and with my purpose.
Your purpose and my plan for your life is assured. I love you so much daughter. Trust me and do not be afraid. I will protect you always. I will guide you always. I will NEVER leave you. You are in for some truly great times, some amazing things that you have longed for are about to happen. But, in the meantime, there will be these attacks. Feel free to laugh them off because they cannot touch you. I love you daughter. You are safe.

A good day...
My prayer:
My God, my Lord, my everything. How are you doing tonight? I have been so focused on me and what is going on in my life, I haven't asked you how things are for you in a long time. How are things going? Did any of us do anything that blessed you today? Were you able to get accomplished what needed to be accomplished today? Do you need anything? Do you want to talk? I love you God and I am here for you.
What God Said Tonight:
It is a wonderful thing when your kid actually remembers to ask you how you are doing! I had a really good day. There were many things and many people who blessed me today. There were people who fed others who didn't have food. There were people who gave homes to those who had no where to live. There were people who visited other people in prison. There were people who loved the people around them and the love made all the difference. There were people who loved a young girl, who you know, and kept her from making a bad and irreversible choice.
There were these things and so many more. I am blessed by my children every day. I am blessed in their praise, in their worship. I am blessed in their obedience. I am blessed in their service and in their giving. I am blessed by their faithfulness. I had a good day.
There were other things today too. Things that were not such a blessing. Those things are the reason we still have so much work left to do. Those things are the reason that I need you to continue the course that I have set for you. Those things are the reason that we cannot rest until every single person has heard about me, about salvation, and has had a chance to make the right choice. It is soooo important. I cannot tell you. It is truly the only thing that matters.
Without that salvation, without my ability to cover you and wash you clean in my son's blood, all is lost. There is no coming back from a life that is not covered in the blood of Jesus. There is no way for me to truly help without that covering. Every person gets a choice.
Be my hands and feet and give them that choice. Don't miss another chance. Give them the choice.
I love you daughter. I am blessed by you coming to meet me here each night. We have so many nights together left. You and me for all eternity. Thank you.

Grace...
My prayer:
Awesome God, I wish I was a better person. I did not handle this day very well. I would like to be that person who always loves, who always understands, who is infinitely patient, but I am not that person...At least, not yet. I would like to always think of others before myself. I would love to give more than I receive. But I am not there yet.
Instead, I am the person who has days like today, when every little thing seems to get on my last nerve until I get frustrated with myself and I am no good to anyone. I wish I was a better person.
God, I ask that you make me a better person. Keep working on me God. Keep changing me. Keep making me into someone that you can use.
I love you God and I am very grateful that you helped me keep my cool and not actually "go off" on any one. I pray God and ask for help making tomorrow better than today. Make me better tomorrow than today. Thank you God. In Jesus name. amen.
What God Said Tonight:
Today wasn't so bad but your attitude gave you a tainted view of the events. It clouded your vision of the day. Today, there was a lot of laughter. Today you blessed more than one person. Those are the things that you can focus on. And, yes, you did not "go off" on anyone which is a huge improvement from not that long ago.
You are not what you hope to be but you are much farther along in who you need to be than you were last year or even last week. You are constantly growing. You are constantly in the process of becoming all that I will have you be.
It is good to want to be the best you can be, but it is arrogance to think you will achieve it on your own or even in this lifetime. Your responsibility is to try and to recognize that all have sinned and fallen short of my glory. You are a part of that "all."
This perfection you so constantly seek is not very useful to me. I need you as you are, striving to be all you can be and falling short, relying on me to make up the gap. You and I, remember, we are in this together.
You are so busy pulling yourself up by your bootstraps that you are forgetting to lean on me. You are forgetting that I am here for you and I want to help you. You are forgetting that I love you and I will help you and guide you always. I am your ever present help. Rely on me for that help. Stop trying to do it all on your own and you will not get so frustrated.
I am yours now and forever and I will always be here for you. Relax and rest in me tonight so I can help put some things right. I will make sure that your path is clear and straight. You will know what steps to to take tomorrow. I will make it plain. Trust me to guide you and trust me to make up the difference of where your ability drops off and my grace kicks in. It is there for you. I love you daughter, please don't forget that.

Scars...
My prayer:
Mighty Father, guide me, direct me, teach me and make me what you need me to be. I love you God and know from experience that what you want for me is better than what I imagine for myself. So, I officially let go tonight God. Not my will but your will God. We, I say it all the time, but tonight I mean it in a whole new way with a whole new level of sincerity.
God help me to see the things you want me to do and to change and help me to do and change them. God help me to see your people as you see them so I can always find love and compassion for them. Help me God to be a blessing in people's lives. God help me to help them become all that you want them to be.
In the immortal words of Tiny Tim, God bless us, every one! Bless every one of us God. In Jesus precious name, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
I love my children so much. I know that sometimes it is hard to see why. Sometimes it is hard for others to see why I love you so much.
Life scars, scratches and mars my people. I never meant for that to happen. I never meant for life to be painful and damaging, but here we are. When you look past the scars, you will find beautiful fresh, new skin. You will find a tenderness of a person who just wants to be loved and accepted. That is at the heart of every person.
Depending on the depth of their scars, you may never be able to see their true need and they may never be able to tell you. Depending on the thickness of their scarring, you may never be able to reach them. But, I can. Given the opening, I can.
Continue in your gift my daughter and pray. Pray for those that hurt you, pray for those that love you, pray for those who ignore you, pray for those who don't even know you yet. Pray and open the channel for me to reach through the scars and heal them.
There are some people with scars that run so deep and so thick that nothing but the power of the Holy Spirit can penetrate them. But, give me the opportunity and I will heal. Give me the chance and I will make them new and whole. Give me the chance and I will make you new and whole too my daughter.
It is my hope, my desire that all of my children live in divine health. That is not just physical health. Divine health is a health of the body, mind and spirit. It is a wholeness, a completeness that allows you to be all that you can. It is my great desire that each of my children know this wholeness.
Will you open the channel so I can come in and heal? Do not grow weary, do not get tired of doing good. It is worth it, every time. Tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities. I am with you now and forever and we will see such great things. Rest now and be made whole.

River rafting...
My prayer:
My Father God. I know you told me that I needed to reflect and move on today. I need some help with the moving on part.
In reflection, I just found myself missing lost things more and more instead of focusing on all of the amazing things you have done. I miss my cat, I miss friends, I miss, well you know all the things I am missing tonight. Wallowing in this is definitely not good and not what you want. So, I need your help God.
I ask for your help to look forward and not backward. I need your help to focus on all that I have and all that you have done instead of the things that are gone, either temporarily or permanently. Basically, I just need your help. You have always said when I need help to call on you. I am calling on you God.
I love you God. Thank you for always being there for me and never leaving.
What God Said Tonight:
All things, except for me are temporary. If you are going to get stuck in the past, stuck in missing the things that are gone, you are going to be miserable your entire life. You will never see the future I have for you as long as you mourning what is gone.
You have great things in your future, but those things will be temporary as well. You must learn to appreciate what you have while you have it and let it go when it is gone. I have great plans for you but the harder you hold on to things that I have allowed to leave your life, the harder it is for me to put the new things into your hands. You have to empty your hands before I can fill them. Let it go so I can give you the new thing.
You will always have opportunities, people, pets and love in your life, but it won't be from the same people, animals or circumstances. Life, by definition, is transient. You know that even your own body is dust waiting to become dust again. But I am permanent, unchanging and will never leave you. I am the ONLY thing that is permanent.
So, hang onto me. Don't ever let go of me. Let everything else come and go and you will live the full life I have planned for you. When you think of the people and things that have come and gone, appreciate them for what they were and what they brought and know that there will be new things, people experiences in the future that will bring to you as much or more.
Living life is like riding the rapids of a river. Sometimes you race down the river, sometimes you float, but the scenery, the things around you are always changing. The only thing that is constant is the boat, the thing that is carrying you. I am your boat and I will not leave you. Let It go tonight and I will fill your life tomorrow. I love you daughter now and forever.
