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, you gave me another fantastic day and I am grateful. I am also so tired I can't even spit. No matter how tired I am, I still want to hear from you. You are food to my soul. Tonight is all you God. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
I am one of your basic needs. I am food. I am water. You were created to need me. You cannot live a complete life without me. Many try and they are miserable.
You were created to hunger for me. You were created to thirst for me. You are specially crafted and created to fit with me perfectly. I am your true soul mate. I made you for me. We fit like hand in glove, like peas and carrots. We are meant for each other.
I love you so much and I am glad you took a little time to meet tonight even though you were so tired. I am always so glad when we get to spend time together. You are complete with me.
Rest knowing that I complete you. Rest knowing I love you. Rest knowing that I will never leave you. Rest knowing that I am the light in your life and I will guide you always. Rest knowing that this thing with you and me is real and forever. I love you, now rest.
My prayer:
My awesome God. This weekend went too fast! I have a lot more I want to do, including sleep! :) Oh well, you always give me everything I need to meet the challenge of each day so I will trust that I will have enough of whatever I need for tomorrow.
I love you God. Plain and simple. I love that you are who you are. I love that you don't have hidden agendas. I love that while you are so big that you seem mysterious, in reality you are an open book (literally) to any of us who want to know you.
I love that you have given us so many promises of a good life. I love that you have given us the ability to have and eternity with you. I love that you have thought of and think of everything.
My God, I can't think of anything I don't love about you, unless it is your timing. You know I hate to wait. But then again, I know your timing is always perfect. I can always see that in hindsight. Eventhough I don't like the wait, your timing is perfect, so really I even love that about you.
I love how you love me. I love how you take care of me. I love how you provide for me. I love how you bless me. I love how you teach me. I really do.
I pray God that you continue to guide me this week, continue to pour out your favor on me. I pray God for your help at work this week. I pray that you help me see every opportunity to help people around me. I pray God that you keep me living in divine health. I pray God that you do all of that so I can accomplish whatever you have for me to do this week. Thank you God.
What God Said Tonight:
Three is a family walking through the desert. Can you see them? they are wearing blankets wrapped around them. It is a mother, a father and a young boy traveling. They are pushing a cart that is full. They are tired but happy to be together. They are my children. They have a purpose and a destiny. The journey to their destiny is not easy and it is not pleasant but because they are together they can endure.
You are not meant to live this life alone. You are meant to live this life in family, in covenant agreement with the family around you. I know you have a damaged idea of family from natural experiences, but you have been getting more and more delivered and healed from that.
I have a great blessing waiting in the wings for you as soon as your are ready. Are you ready? Can you feel the day? Can you see the comfort of having a family around for the journey?
I love you daughter so very much. I have plans to fulfill every last desire of your heart. I am in no hurry. There is a time and a season for everything and it is not too late. I am always on time. I will see this accomplished in your life. I will see you with every dream fulfilled. Do not lose hope. The years of waiting will seem like a flash. They will seem like nothing.
I love you so much. I want to give you so many great things. Rest your head on my shoulder and receive my comfort, my peace and my love.
My prayer:
All mighty, all powerful and all knowing God of all creation. My God, I am worrying over a lot of things tonight and you say to worry over nothing and pray over everything. So, I pray over everything tonight God.
I pray over the world, the tragedies, the environmental troubles, the wars, the hunger, the sickness and the people involved in each of them. I give it all up to you God and ask that you heal, repair, restore and provide.
I pray over my church and our expansion tomorrow. I pray God and ask that you make it all go smoothly and that people are drawn to you there. I pray God that you help me to be a blessing to everyone I meet.
I pray God for provision for friends who are struggling. I pray God for healing for friends who are sick. I pray God for direction for friends who are lost. I pray God for your love to surround all of us.
I pray God for the animals. Animal cruelty breaks my heart in ways that I can't even face. God I pray that you watch over the animals and keep them safe from anyone who would hurt them maliciously.
I pray God for protection for all of your children. Keep us safe and sound. I pray God for hope for anyone who has lost hope. I pray God for wisdom for anyone who needs it.
I pray God above everything else that your will is done and that you be actively present in my life. I pray God that your presence is so tangible and evident that people can't help but notice you. I pray God that your presence show through me, covering my flaws, so people only see you. Once they see you, really see you, I know they will want you in their lives too. Who wouldn't want the God that is love in their life, if they really knew you.
I love you God. That is everything I can think of, everything I am worrying about. I give it all to you. Thank you God for being big enough to handle everything.
What God Said Tonight:
Goodness daughter, you do have a lot on your mind tonight. I will take care of it all. I am in charge and I determine the outcome even though sometimes it may not feel like it. Receive my peace tonight.
These are good times. Truly they are good times. There are always things you can worry about, things to get upset about, but if you turn your focus to me and look on all of the good that is also here, even right now tonight, your spirit will lift and you will be able to celebrate with me, with us tonight.
There is so much good right now. Don't let the joy of it be stolen by worry and by focusing on the problems. Don't sweep the problems under the rug, give them to me. And then, rest, celebrate, look with joy on what I have done in your life. It is ok to celebrate even when everything isn't perfect.
I love you daughter. I want to enjoy this time with you but I can't if you are stuck in worry and focused on the problem. Look at me, see me, the solution, and the problem won't matter anymore.
Have I ever not solved a problem you have brought to me? Sometimes it takes longer than you want but think about it, have I ever not taken care of a problem once you have brought it to me? I always have and I always will.
So, rest, enjoy. Tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun, but only if you are looking at me and not the problems. Love you more than life.
My prayer:
Awesome, amazing, incredible, giving, loving, victorious God! Another great day! Thank you for every blessing God, I have NO complaints. I LOVE YOU!!!
I was wondering something today. I was wondering why it is so easy for me to see how amazing other people are and how hard it is to see or believe that there is anything amazing in me. I look at my friends and I see the most giving, loving, talented and truly amazing people that I can imagine. To me their awesomeness is so obvious but for the most part, they don't see it in themselves and they have a hard time believing me when I tell them. Similarly, when they tell me great things about me, I assume it is just cause they are super nice people, not because the things they are saying are actually true.
God, I often pray to see others through your eyes and you have given me those eyes. I pray tonight that you help me and others see ourselves through your eyes. God help me to see the truth about me, the good and the areas for improvement. I pray for wisdom and understanding. I think if we, if I, could see myself in truth, so many other things wouldn't be an issue and I could focus on the things that really need the work.
I love you God and I love this life you have given me. I love the people you have put in it. I love the opportunities you have given me. I love the privilege of getting to know you, talk to you and hear from you. That is really what makes it all worthwhile. What is on your mind tonight sweet Father?
What God Said Tonight:
Ahh my daughter, the human condition is strange sometimes. I see you covered in the blood of my Son's sacrifice so to me you are perfect. You see yourself uncovered and you see the flaws. When you look at yourself without the covering of my blood you will see every dark area, you will see every flaw. They will seem so big that you are likely to see things that are not even there.
Your enemy, satan, wants you to see those things. He magnifies those things. If he can get you to believe that they are the truth, that those dark areas are the true you, he can discourage you to a point of despair.
Look at the blood not what the blood is covering. The blood is the truth of your life. My covering is the truth of who you are. The truth is you accepted my forgiveness and you are forgiven. The truth is that you are my adopted child and that makes you amazing. The truth is that all of my children are amazingly gifted because they have my characteristics. They mimic the Father. They reflect me. As my reflection, they are amazing.
I am the truth. Your reflection of me is the truth. Believe the truth and not the lie. Believe me, not the one who would see you fail and die in despair. Believe the one who loves you not the one that hates you. Believe me who wants to see you succeed, not the enemy who is desperate to see you fail.
I love you so much. You are the most precious thing to me. Your life means everything to me. Your future is carefully planned by me. Rest again and we will talk more tomorrow. My love.
My prayer:
Miraculous God. Awesome ruler. Lord of my life. What a great day. What a great life! Sitting here tonight grateful for every little and great thing you have done.
Praying tonight for everyone who is discouraged, everyone who doesn't think that you hear their prayers. God I need to ask you to break through the barriers tonight and show up in their lives. For every person who has been praying, hoping, waiting and feels like they can't wait one more second. For every person who has given up on believing that you will show up.
For every one of these people God, please, tonight, now, show up. Show them that you are real. Show them that you love them. Show them that they can trust and hope in you. Show them what you have shown me. Show them that they are so very precious to you and God please let them feel it, personally. Even if it is just for a moment, break through any barrier, show them you and give them hope.
Thank you God. I love you so much and I want every person on this earth to know your love. There is nothing better. There is nothing I would rather have. In Jesus name I ask, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
I have my best saved up for these last days. I have blessings like you would not believe that I have been saving for just such a time as this.
You know about the trouble and the tribulation of the last days. Many will lose hope. Many will lose sight of me. Many will walk through the neighborhood lost. I love my children so much. I have been trying to break through their barriers for years. But the fact is, the truth is, I gave you all free will for a purpose.
For me to love you and for you to experience that love, I need you to take a step toward me. I need you to open the door. I need you to want it. If you want to be closer to me and feel my love, draw closer to me and love me. As you get closer to me, I will get closer to you. As you love me, I will love you. Your action and your love open the door for me to come in.
You have heard that I am a gentleman. It is true. I don't stay anywhere I am not wanted. I never over stay my welcome. Welcome me, I will come running. Keep me at an arm's distance and I will not try to press in. I will never get closer than you want me to be and I will never push you to something you don't want.
I am here. I am always here. You do not have to look far to see me. I am love so I am always loving you. You don't have to search hard to feel my love. It is here for the taking, ready and waiting for all of my children.
You, without hope, look at me and see that I am your hope. With me, anything is possible. But I won't force you. I won't make you love me. I won't make you let me in. Love doesn't force, love doesn't manipulate. Love trusts. Love is patient. Love is kind. I will wait for you but I won't bust down your door. I will be ready for you whenever you are ready.
I love you so much, whether you feel it or not. I love you so much whether you believe it or not. It is still the truth whether you feel it or not.
Rest my daughter, thank you for bringing me this thing that is heavy on your heart tonight. We will reach more people than you can imagine or know right now. Keep talking about me, lifting me up, talking to me and listening. We celebrate every night in heaven at the lives that are changed. You have done well.
My prayer:
I am so crazy blessed God! You are SO GOOD to me!!! Thank you for growth and increase in every part of my life.
You said fun stuff was ahead. You said I wouldn't be able to imagine it all. You were SO RIGHT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
I don't know what else to say or to pray God. Just thank you from the very deepest part and truest part of who I am.
What is on your mind tonight? What do you have to say? If you want to talk to someone I am here and I am ready!
What God Said Tonight:
I like this new music you found for us. Anointed but no words so you can hear me more clearly. No words so you have to come up with your own words of worship. I like that.
I like to hear from you. I like to know what is on your heart and how you are feeling. I like it when you worship me with your own words and thoughts, not just following the words that someone else came up with.
Don't get me wrong, I will take your worship any way you are willing to give it. I am glad for it. Not so much for me but because of what it does for you. Your worship will strengthen you and encourage you. Your worship, true worship will clarify your thoughts and the decisions you need to make. True worship aligns you with me and makes it easier for you to know my will and follow it.
True worship is powerful. True worship is from your heart. It isn't always pretty. It isn't always dignified. It can sometimes be ugly and quite undignified. But if it is from your heart, it is beautiful to me. If it is true worship, it blesses me. If it is true worship, it can move mountains.
I love you daughter. Worship me in spirit and in truth. In your own words and in your own way, worship me and I will cause all things to work to your good.
I love you so much. Can you feel me here with you tonight. I am leaning over your right shoulder and watching you type these words. I am here with you. I am present and I am real. I am yours, now and forever. I love you more than you can know.
My prayer:
Father God. Thank you for freeing me from the unworthy thoughts that I was wrapped up in last night. It is weird. Last night, when I couldn't sleep all night, it seemed like it was the most important thing in the world. It seemed like I had to DO SOMETHING about it. And today, it is back in perspective.
Today, I realize that there are a lot of more important things. Today I can truly say it doesn't matter if I was right or wrong. Today I can say that the only solution that is worth finding is to find a way to love in the middle of this situation. What a difference a day makes!
Thank you for helping me to wait and to not act prematurely. Thank you for the peace you gave me today. Thank you for wisdom. Thank you for always teaching me a better way. I love you God!
What God Said Tonight:
Sometimes the best action to take is to wait. Waiting is an action and waiting is a valid decision. Sometimes the act of waiting is the greatest show of faith that there is.
I know you have never liked waiting. Not many people do. But learning to wait well is a great skill. Learning to wait on my timing, with anticipation. Not with anxiety and worry but with a calm assurance that what you are waiting on will come. Knowing that the things I have promised you will come. Knowing that the peace, the healing, the redemption, the reparation and the salvation will come. Waiting with complete trust of the outcome but with no knowledge of the timing. There is great faith in that. There is great maturity in that.
Learn the art of waiting and your life will be a lot more enjoyable.
I love you daughter. Continue to wait on me. When things come in my timeline, when they have had a chance to fully mature, they are SO MUCH BETTER and I want the very best for you. You are my precious and true daughter and I want you to have the best of everything. I love you. Rest and wait.
