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:
Amazing God, I love you and worship you. God I am hungry for your word and your presence tonight. I need to feel you tonight. I need some of that time when your presence is so intense, it blocks out every other thing and every other worry.
God, I have a million thoughts racing through my mind tonight. I have a million things I could talk to you about, but all I really care about is being with you. All I really care about is feeling your love. All I really care about is that you feel my love.
Send your Holy Spirit power and presence tonight God. I love to witness your power. I don't need it for anything specific, I just need it because I need you. I love you God. You are my first priority and you are my everything. I am completely into you God. My life depends on you, in every way. My life has no meaning without you and you are the very breath in my lungs. You are water when I am thirsty and food when I am hungry. You are everything I need.
You are always welcome wherever I am and wherever I go. Be with me here tonight God.
What God Said Tonight:
I am here sweet daughter. Feel me lightly around your shoulders. I am here with you always. I bring with me peace. I want to blanket you with peace tonight. No more worry, no more struggle, no more fear, and no more doubt. You are my precious daughter and I am your peace.
I am your assurance that everything will work out to your good. I am your confidence that everything is under control. I am your Father and I take care of my children. Rest in my presence tonight. Feel it as a soft cloud to float in. I will never leave you, I will never let you fall. Lean back and trust me tonight.
Know that I am God. Being God, I know everything, I am everywhere, and I am more powerful than anything. I love you. Rest in that love tonight.
There you go...now you are getting there. Let it all go and trust me with everything. There you go... Now rest in the peace of knowing that I am taking care of it all. Sweet daughter, I love you.
My prayer:
Awesome God who cannot lie. I need to talk to you tonight about deceit God. It seems to be coming up a lot in my life right now. People being lied to and misled. Me not knowing for sure who or what (other than You) to trust.
Most of the time I am ok with it, knowing that you will always take care of me no matter what. Most of the time, I can see how people have reasons, like fear, why they don't tell the truth. The thing about deceit, like all sin, there might be just a tiny bit of it, but it taints everything. One little lie can make me doubt everything and everyone around me. Is it that I don't trust people enough? Or do I trust people too much?
God I pray and ask that you show me the truth when I need to know it. God I ask for the ability to recognize deceit immediately. I pray God for the wisdom of how to handle deceit when I see it. I pray also God that you keep me from deceit. Protect me God from falling into the trap of deceit myself. God you are the truth. Help me to always be focused on and reflecting you and your truth. In Jesus name, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
I am not a man that I would lie. You have heard me say that many times and you always focus on the part that says that I wouldn't lie. Tonight, focus on the other part. See that I knew and I know that "man" will lie.
You are right, there a re a lot of reasons. But the fact is, most every person who has ever lived has at some point, been dishonest. Sometimes they are dishonest with others and sometimes they are dishonest with themselves. That second one, the one where they lie to themselves can be the most damaging deceit of all.
Deceit is like a cancer that eats away at everything around it. It is one of the most effective weapons that satan has. Remember, he is a theif and a liar. He is the Father of all lies.
You can hate the lie and still love the person who lied. You can separate the lie from the person. You can trust me to take care of you in all things. You can trust me to shield you from the arrows of deceit that are launched at you. That allows you to still love the people but you don't have to love the arrow. It is nothing more than a weapon and no weapon that was formed to hurt you can hurt you with me as your protector. No weapon is big enough or bad enough to get through me.
Wash yourself in my blood sacrifice tonight. Wash off any stain from the lies and and move on. You are free to love because I am with you. You are free to shake off the lies because I am more powerful then they are. You are free from the deception of this world and you get to live in the light of my truth. When you run into deceit, rejoice in the knowledge that you get to live free of it. Rejoice in my protection over you. I am all the truth you will ever need and I am here for you always. Rest well my sweet daughter. You are free.
My prayer:
My God, I have been talking a lot lately. How about tonight I just listen to what you have to say. I love you Father God!
What God Said Tonight:
Sometimes I choose to be silent too. But I am not silent because I don't love you. I am silent because I do love you.
Sometimes, I need you to figure things out. Sometimes, I need you to stretch your faith. My silence is almost always related to your growth.
I love you and I am always here, I will never leave you. But sometimes, you may not hear from me on a particular subject or you may not hear from me at all. It does not necessarily mean there is something wrong. Sometimes I am silent because I want to hear from you. I want to hear what s on your heart.
Now, there are sometimes when I am not silent, but you are not listening. Sometimes, when you get distracted, you are listening to everything but me.
But, if you are taking time to be with me, praying, listening, and I am not answering on something yet, don't worry. Just know that you are being given an opportunity to grow. Each opportunity to grow that results in the desired growth will end in promotion. So, next time I am being silent, try to remember the outcome of promotion and learn, grow, and grab a hold of the opportunity.
I love you daughter and I can never be silent for long with you.
My prayer:
All knowing God. My heart is hurting for "A" and "K" tonight whose unborn baby went to live with you today. I know you will take special care of their baby. I know they are going to get to meet her someday.
My own death doesn't scare me a bit, but it is just so hard for those of us left behind when someone we love goes to be with you. My God, I am so grateful that you have redeemed us and that because of that we get to live on forever in heaven with you. I am so grateful for that. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to try to deal with this kind of thing without that.
God, help me/us to see "death" like you do. Help us to truly understand it is not a permanent end. Help us to remember that the separation, for those who are covered by your blood and sacrifice, is only temporary. God, let that comfort my dear friends tonight and in the coming days. I pray God that you give them peace. I pray God that you cover them with a complete blanket of love tonight to heal the missing piece of their heart.
Thank you God for being our comforter. In Jesus name.
What God Said Tonight:
Healing is not just for the body. Sometimes, the healing you need is for your heart, your mind, your spirit. Sometimes the wounds are so deep that only I can heal them. I hate it when you hurt. I hate it when my children hurt. I save your tears for a reason. You are so precious to me and I want to capture every hurt, every pain and heal it for you.
I am with your friends tonight, even now. I love them and I will be there for them throughout he healing time. I am the Great Physician and I will heal them.
Share your tears with them. Be the hands, the feet, the arms that I cannot be for them right now. Love them as a reflection of my love.
This too, as hard as it seems, is something that I will turn around for them. I will not leave them. I do not abandon my children in pain, even when they sometimes abandon me. I am still right there ready when they are.
I love you. Let me bandage you when you hurt and heal you when you are damaged. Let me have my way during tragedy and it won't turn out like you thought it would. I can turn any situation around, including death. I have all power and I am not limited by the circumstance. I love you and I will always heal you, no matter what this world throws at you. Lean into me and rest while I take care of it all.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I am stuck dwelling on missed opportunities tonight. Someone once told me that judgement day for Christians would be you showing us all of the missed opportunities in our lives, all the things that could have been. I hope that isn't true God. That would be a pretty horrible thing to see I think. I make myself half crazy thinking about the missed opportunities that I am aware of. I can't imagine how much worse it would be to see the ones I didn't even realized that I missed! Then I start to wonder, maybe I was suppose to miss that opportunity. Maybe I didn't miss the boat, maybe it was your will that I pass that one up...but then that is probably wishful thinking.
God I thank you that you turn everything to the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose. God I pray that somehow you turn this missed opportunity to my good. If it was an opportunity you meant for me to take and I missed it, I apologize and I will try to listen better next time.
God, please fix the things I mess up and help me to do better next time. I can't get it right on my own and I need you if this life of mine is going to turn out the way you intended it to.
Thank you God for all that you do and all that you are. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for filling in when I mess up.
What God Said Tonight:
My daughter, the best thing you said there was that you can't get it right on your own. That is truth. That is why I came. That is why I sacrificed my life for you. I knew and I know that you can't do it alone. You weren't designed to.
Stop worrying so much about what you should have done or what your life should be and enjoy what it is. I will take care of everything. You don't have everything you want yet but that doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future. If you had everything right now, there would be no need for tomorrow. You would not have anything to look forward to.
Be content for right now. Worry less and trust me more. You have prayed, I have heard you. I already have a plan and purpose working in your life, so relax and enjoy today. Enjoy tonight.
I love you so very much. You will have all of the very best, you just may not have it all right this second. Rest, be content in knowing that you have much and more will be given. You are the daughter of the most high God who takes care of His children.
My prayer:
What a wonderful day God! I had forgotten how wonderful it is doing outreach on the streets. It has been too long! Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for bringing together the amazing team. Thank you for all the free BAGELS! You really did have all the details worked out.
We met some wonderful people today. Most everyone of them talked about wanting to make better decisions or not knowing what to do. All had experienced loss.
God, I just continue to lift up each and every need to you. I pray that you restore "P" and all that was taken from him. I pray that you guide and direct "D", "J" and "R." I pray God that you continue to tug on "R's" heart until she realizes that you are the one and only true God. And God, all of the others, spoken and unspoken needs, I pray and ask that you meet each and every one so that their lives are changed as a result of coming into contact with you. I can't wait to see what you will do in their lives!
God I praise and thank you. You get all the glory and honor. I am yours forever.
What God Said Tonight:
You know they say the sky is the limit, but I say there are no limits with me. You can go to the sky and beyond and never reach the limit of what I can and will do for you.
I will cross any distance to be with you. I will bust through any barrier to find you. I will fight anyone and anything to protect you. I will do whatever it takes to be with you.
My love is a burning passion for you. I have always wanted you. I am your Father and your teacher. I am your healer and your guide. I am your provider and your redeemer. I am the answer to every problem and the fulfiller of every need. I am everything you need and everything you want.
I will never give up on pursuing you. I will never turn my back on you. I will never let you get so far away that I can't reach you. You are everything I had hoped you would be and we have more to do.
Hear my love for you. Know that it runs deeper than you can imagine and it will never run out. I am yours forever and always.
My prayer:
Lord of my life, Jehovah. Thank you for a wonderful day, a wonderful Sabbath. You are so good to me, every day.
Awesome God, I want to pray over our outreach tomorrow. It has been awhile since we have hit the streets. I pray God that it is everything that you want it to be. I pray God that you draw in every person that you want us to talk to. I pray God for your strength and your protection for the team.
I pray that the water quenches thirst, the food satisfies hunger, and the message saves souls. We do this for you and your people God. I pray that you help us to make a difference. Speak through us, shine through us God. Change people's lives tomorrow God. In Jesus name.
What God Said Tonight:
I hear you and I will of course be with you tomorrow. I am always with you. When you are speaking in my name, how much more am I with you. I love you daughter and tomorrow will be everything I had intended it to be. It will bless. It will bless the people there, the people ministering, you, and me. Tomorrow is a day of blessing. You don't have to worry about a single detail. It is going to be more than you have imagined.
You know how most of today you were hiking but not on trails. You were blazing your own trail. Did that remind you of anything? It was a parable of your life right now. You might run into game trails along the way that you can follow but this is uncharted territory you are going into. There is no right way and there is no wrong way. There is only my way.
Seek me daily and I will guide you along the way. You might run into some really rocky and treacherous areas. Sometimes you will have to turn back and back track for awhile, but I will always find the way out for you. I will always find you the safe path to the destination we have set. I love you and I am with you always. Stay close and follow me.
