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. Today was SO MUCH BETTER!!! THANK YOU!!! Thank you for healing me. Thank you for fighting off my enemies. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for being true to every promise you have made me.
You are my hope and my future and I trust you God. You are my everything. I was so happy tonight I was dancing in the line at Mad Greens and didn't even realize it! The woman behind the counter smiled and said "Good song?" And I said, "Oh, is there music?" Haha! Now, I didn't dance out of my clothes like my beloved King David, but kind of similar!
I love you so much God!! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!
What God Said Tonight:
Every problem has a solution and every struggle has a victory as long as you wait on me. I will deliver you every time. I love you daughter.
I know this season has been rough and the challenges are not over; but, remember this night. Post this as a memorial to come back to the next time you are going through attacks and trouble so that you can be encouraged. All of the memorials set up in my name over the years are not truly to honor me but they are meant to remind you. They are meant to encourage you when you are frustrated and without hope. They are meant to encourage you when you think nothing is ever going to change. Keep a memorial of moments like this and revisit them when you feel like you cannot go on.
This deliverance and this joy will always be the outcome of any struggle as long as you stick with me and wait it out with me. Every one of my children has the promise that I am with them, loving them, trying to teach them, and providing for them. I will protect you from harm. I will not protect you from learning and from growth. You need those and often they involve some temporary pain. But, I will ALWAYS bring you out of it. So, stick with it and keep these memorials to encourage you next time.
I am sorry to tell you, but there will be a next time. It will be different but there will be an attack and battle. The battle continues until the war is over. Stick with me because we win. LOVE YOU daughter!!
My prayer:
Mighty and powerful God. Why is it God, that whenever I make a decision to do something for you, something that is out of my comfort zone and more than what I can do on my own, suddenly crazy bad stuff starts to happen. Not stuff related to what I am doing for you but other stuff.
Suddenly, everything seems so hard. I never get sick and suddenly everything hurts and I can barely get out of bed. Friends who are stepping out with me keep having people and pets die. And more stuff.
God I love you and I take these attacks as evidence that what we are doing is important; but, it is still really rough. I need your help. We need your help. I am not strong enough to get through this on my own.
I believe your word and I believe that I am healed through the stripes you took for me. I believe that these temporary symptoms will leave in Jesus name. I believe your word that no weapon formed against us can prosper. I believe that they cannot achieve what they were designed to. I will not quit on you God. I need your strength, wisdom, and help to get through this season.
In Jesus name I declare that I am yours, my life is yours, I will do your will, and I will lean on you through it all. I pray a hedge of protection around me, my friends, my family, and everyone who is stepping out for you, in Jesus name. amen.
What God Said Tonight:
I am with you and I am working this all out. The attacks have come to stop you but I will fight back the enemy for your sake. I will defend you as you defend me. I will stand up for you as you stand up for me.
Your battle is to trust me when it doesn't look so good. My battle is to defeat the enemy. I will not allow him to destroy you and I will not allow him to destroy our dream. Stick it out a bit longer and you will see great victory.
You are right that these troubles are evidence of you doing something meaningful for the Kingdom. You will always see opposition when you step out for me. That's part of why more people don't do it. They think it is too hard. I need you to stick this out and I need you to show the world that it is worth it. I need you to be that shining lighthouse to show people that the battles are worth it. That a life with me is worth it. I need you to live this out publicly so the world can see that I am worth it. That the dream is worth it. That the Kingdom is worth it.
My daughter, I am sorry for the pain. It will be brief I promise. I have already set into place your deliverance from it. Your faith has made you well. I love you and I will keep you safe. I will keep your friends safe. I will keep your family safe. I will keep my family safe. That is one of the first jobs of a father is to keep the family safe and if earthly fathers can do that, how much more will I?
I love you and I will be with you always. You are worth more to me than all of the gold and jewels that ever were. I am your sacrifice and your redemption. I am your warrior protection and your victory. I am yours my sweet daughter.
My prayer:
Mighty God, today was a battle. No other way to say it. I thank you God for fighting the battle. I simply hurt too much to do any real fighting at all. In my weakness, you are made strong. That was definitely true today.
I am wiped out. I shouldn't be since I really didn't do much, but I am. I did keep my promise from last night though God. There is only one more decision and one more task for it to be complete. I need your wisdom for that last decision God. Help me to know the right thing to do. Guide me, direct me, give me the decision that will most completely line up with your will.
I love you God and I am so grateful for you in my life.
What God Said Tonight:
I am here for you now and always my daughter. I am completely devoted to you and to your brothers and sisters. My whole purpose is you.
You are so very beautiful to me. You are bruised and battered after today, that is true, but you never once stopped thanking me. You never once stopped looking to me. You never once lost your faith and that has made this an awesome and amazing day.
I will finish this thing off. You will not face these same enemies or manifestations of this enemy in the future. I am wiping them out for good. You are to be free and you will be amazed at the changes. You will be amazed at how much more you can do when you are free of them. I just have a bit more sweeping and cleaning out for you to be completely free.
I love you daughter so much. I never tire of being with you. I will be in your life as much and as deep as you want. No more no less. It is all up to you. That is the deal. I love you no matter what but you decide what our relationship is like. You decide where you spend eternity. You decide how much blessing you have in your life. That is what free will is, you decide.
The decision is not always straight forward though. If I were to ask you if you wanted to be blessed you would almost certainly say yes. But if I ask you to be obedient to something you don't want to do because I know it will bless you, your decision to obey or not decides your blessing.
I love you daughter and I will guide you every step of the way. Rest peacefully tonight and recover for tomorrow is another day and it will not be like today. Change is definitely in the air.
My prayer:
Awesome God. Today ended up being kind of rough but I thank you for bringing me through. I thank you for healing me. I thank you for friends to lean on. I thank you for the new kitten to make me laugh. I thank you God for being you.
I have a lot of things running through my head but I also know that I still haven't completed the last thing you told me to do. I know that nothing is going to really move forward until I do that. So, you might rightfully ask why I haven't done it. I have no good reason God. I don't know why I am putting it off. It is definitely intimidating but I know from experience that when you tell me to do something, no matter what it is, once I get started it all falls into place. So, I have no excuse.
Tomorrow, I commit to working on it tomorrow. I will try to finish it, but at a minimum, I commit to working on it. I am sorry for the delay God. I am sorry for giving into the fear or what ever it is that is getting in the way. That ends now. I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
You are forgiven but your delay has really hurt no one but you. When you are tired enough of the status quo, when you are tired enough staying where you are, you will overcome the obstacle.
It is not nearly as big as you are making it out to be. You will be amazed once you get started how little it really is and how easily it crumbles. Barriers only look big when you are on the outside looking in. There is always a way through them. You may go over it, around it, or through it but there is always a way.
Barriers increase your faith. Barriers make you recognize what you really want. Barriers are not the enemy. Barriers are the tool. Barriers have no power in themselves. They just are. They have one function and that is to keep you from something.
I give you the key to every barrier, right here, right now. Your faith that can move mountains. Your faith is your way over, around, and through every barrier. You are on your way my daughter. I love you and I will see you on the other side of the barrier.
My prayer:
Incredible and amazing God. What can I say tonight that has not been said? Tonight was amazing. I did not realize how much I needed to fill up, be taken care or, be prayed over.
Thank you God for people in my life who are there when I need someone to lean on. Thank you God for people to pray when I don't know what to pray. Thank you for people to come around me and agree with me for your will. Thank you for your people God!
I love caring, ministering and loving your people and I also love, that every once in a while, I get to be on the receiving end too. You are awesome God, tonight was awesome, your people are awesome. I love you God!!
What God Said Tonight:
Angels are surrounding you my daughter. I have sent them to you with an assignment tonight. They are there for protection and for comfort. They were summoned through the prayer over you tonight.
Don't forget to ask for help when you need it. Don't forget that we are in this together. Don't forget that not only do you not have to do this on your own, you can't do it on your own. You need me and you need the people I have put in our life. This is a team effort. Life, living life for me and with me is a team effort.
You will never achieve all that I have for you on your own. You will only achieve the great dreams that I have put in your heart if you lean on me and your team. TEAM together everything actually matters. You want to live a life that matters. Live it with your team. Your team will change over time and due to different needs but you will always have a team to help you.
I love you daughter. I was gald to see you open to recieve tonight. I have more to give when you are ready. I love you now and forever. My angels will stay with you through this next season. you will need them. They love hanging out with you too so it is no big sacrifice. Treat then well, treat your team well and treat yourself well. Love you.
My prayer:
My Incredible God. I am not sure what to talk about tonight. Today was great. Your favor continues to amaze me. But under everything is this sense of being unsettled. I know you said not to worry about the changes that are coming, but I am having a little trouble doing that, or I guess I am having trouble not doing that. There are so many things in my life that are amazing and fantastic; but, there is this feeling of being slightly unsettled. Like there is something out of place and it is uncomfortable.
Wow, even as I was writing that it sounded like I was whining. I am sorry God. I will stop right now. What ever you want for my life, that is what I want. What ever changes you want, I want. Whenever you want those changes to happen is when I want them to happen. You are God and i am not. I trust you God and I am sorry.
What is on your mind? What happened today that was good, bad or indifferent for you? I am pretty tired of thinking about me. Let's talk about you.
What God Said Tonight:
Mmm daughter, you know that it is ok to tell me when you doubt, get afraid, worry, anything. I want to hear all of it from you. I want you to give me every worry and concern. I did not build you to carry that stuff throughout your life. I built you so that you would off load that stuff onto me. That way you can live free and not be weighed down by it. I never want you to hold back from me. I want to know it all from you. Once you tell me, once you give it to me, then we can deal with it.
I know that you are feeling slightly off and that is just another indication of the change to come. It is not a bad thing. It is just confirmation.
You asked about my day. I have to let you know that I love it when you do that. Not a lot of people ask.
My day was good. I had many times of joy and celebration. I had a lot of people choose me despite all of the things that tried to stop them. I cried today too. Not everything worked the way I would have liked it to. Some people made decisions that took them further way from me. Some people made choices that went against my best for them. It hurts when I see people living with less than they should because of their decisions.
But, on the balance, there was more good today than bad. There was more to rejoice than there was to mourn. We are closer tonight than we were last night to the time of the new earth and the new heaven. I can't wait to show them to you. You are going to love it.
I want you to rest well now. Tomorrow is a big day for you and me and I want you rested. I love you so much. Rest in my love for you.
My prayer:
Awesome God I love your people! Your children that are simply seeking you out, they are so incredible! We don't always get it right...ok, we almost never get it right, but we are trying and the scars of the struggle make us each so beautiful.
I look around me and I see some of the most amazing, talented and loving people in the world. How did that happen? I spent so many years blocking everyone out of my life. Too afraid to trust, I decided it was better to be on my own than to risk it. So many wasted years, where I missed out on the incredible joy of your people.
I am so grateful for the people you have put in my life God. I am so grateful for their love. I am so grateful for their gifts and talents. I am so grateful that they let me help them out once in awhile. Thank you for giving me friends that I don't deserve God.
What God Said Tonight:
Don't get confused by this and don't be afraid. I need you to know that there are more changes coming. You won't like some of them. You will have to walk away from some things that you don't want to but will need to make way for the new thing I need to do in you.
You know how I have told you in the past that you may not always have a specific person in your life but you will always have amazing people. That is still true. I am expanding your borders I am enlarging your flock. You are going to see multiplication like you have never seen before.
Don't worry about the changes and the good byes. I will take care of each of them. I love them even more than you do. I feel your heart getting sick over this. Please, do not fear this and do not get sad. It is a good thing. It will hurt a bit but it will be better in the end. You will not say good bye forever. You will see them all again. You have an eternity with them. But, for a season, you may not be seeing everyone that you want to.
This is important and strategic and I would not ask you to do it if it wasn't important. Trust me and do not mourn.
