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:
Eternal and most awesome God. My thoughts are pretty scattered tonight. Thank you for a good and varied weekend. Thank you for a great job to go back to tomorrow. Thank you for the many opportunities you have given me to bless people in your name. Thank you for your favor and grace on my life. You are more than I deserve and more than I could hope for.
With all that you do for me, I should be out of my mind happy all of the time. I should be so filled with joy that nothing can get through. I should...how come I am not? Why do I live with less than the full blessing that you have said is mine? I am not unhappy tonight, I am just a little numb feeling. Nothing bad has happened. I am not worried about anything. I am just, blah.
I am probably focusing too much on my emotions. Being a woman, I have a tendency to do that. Maybe I have been allowing too many negative influences in lately. Like that movie I watched today...I really didn't need that!
God, I ask if there is anything I have done that is leaving me feeling this way, please make it obvious to me so I can repent and move on. I am sorry for anything I have done or not done that was outside of your perfect will for my life. If it isn't anything I have done, I ask God that you just take it away. It feels like I am living in a fog and it is not fun. Your joy is my strength God. Without your joy, I am too weak to get through life.
I love you God and I ask for a return of your joy, in Jesus name, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
You did have your priorities out of order today. You studied my word but it was at the end of the day, not the beginning like we had talked about. It came nearly last instead of first. Then when you studied, you had the TV on and did not fully focus on what I wanted to show you. Because things were out of order, everything felt a little off.
The feeling you are having tonight is because I have given you sensitivity into the spiritual realm and you are sensing that things are off kilter. You can easily put things back in right order by putting me first. For awhile, let's spend some more extended time in the morning together. Let's start the day being grateful. Start the day with a praise in your mouth and you will be surprised at how much better the day seems.
I love these times with you each night and we should keep them; but, let's start something new in the morning. What do you think? Are you up for something new? I knew you would be. You always love the new stuff!
I love you daughter and you were right to bring this to me tonight. You might not be wondrously happy all the time but you do have access to me and the solutions all of the time. You have a direct line to me, anytime, anywhere, for anything. That should make you smile! I love you daughter. Talk with you in the morning...
My prayer:
Jehovah Rapha, my healing God! You continually amaze and excite me God with your healing power. There is nothing that you can't heal and I LOVE IT! I love to feel you change things in the natural that no one can explain. I love to see lives and bodies restored. I love to see the look of stunned joy when they realize, they REALLY ARE HEALED!! I love how it increases people's faith. I love how it shows off how powerful, amazing and loving you are. I love getting to be a part of it God!
YOU ARE SO AMAZING, AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, POWERFUL, LOVING, WISE, and GOOD!!! I love you God.
What God Said Tonight:
My sweet daughter, part of why you get to be a witness to so much healing is I know how it delights you. I know you will always appreciate it and not take it for granted. I know that you will believe and not doubt. That makes it easy.
I came to heal and to restore. I came to give back what was taken. I came for you. I came to make sure you had an option. I am the truth. I am your healer. I am the one you must follow if you are going to have all of the blessings that I have sequestered for you.
I love you and I want so much for you. When you rejoice in the blessings I send you, I will send more. When you rejoice in seeing someone healed, I will heal more. When you rejoice in seeing someone saved, I will let you be involved with more salvations. Whatever you rejoice in, in my ministry, I will bring you more of. Your praise activates my principle of multiplication.
I am getting ready to pour out a blessing and an anointing that will by so powerful, you have not even imagined it yet. When you feel my power increasing, do not fear it. It is not there to harm you but to protect you. It is not coming against you, it is coming behind and along side of you. My power is here to help you in the next stages. You will sense it more than ever but trust my love for you to know that it is for you and not against you.
I love you daughter and you will see more miraculous power every day for the rest of eternity as long as you stick with me.
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.
