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. I am feeling guilty tonight. I am feeling a bit worthless. I am feeling like I did not really do anything much for you for the last two days. I am sorry God. I have been a complete slug and I am not very proud of myself.
I suppose, if I felt rested and ready to go as a result of all of this doing nothing, that would be one thing. But I feel more worn out tonight than I did Friday. I am clearly doing something wrong.
I ask for wisdom and for strength God. I pray that you show me what you want me to do and give me the energy to do it. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak God. I love you God.
What God Said Tonight:
Rest is good and important. I did not ask you to do anything this weekend. I know you need to rest. I know that your strength wanes. That is why I am here for you to lean on. I am your strength. I am what makes it possible for you to do anything in the first place.
Besides, you know that guilt is not from me. I don't operate in guilt. I will convict you and point out your error so you can make corrections like any good parent. But I will never cause you to feel guilt. That one is not from me.
I love you daughter and understand that this us a short season of rest is preparing you. You won't always have the luxury of this kind of rest. You will need your strength in the next season.
When I need you to do something, I will let you know. In the meantime, you should rest and know that you are building a reserve for the next season. I love you too my wonderful daughter and I am with you always.
My prayer:
My amazing God. You are beyond my ability to imagine. You are bigger than the biggest thing I can imagine. You are more powerful than the most power I can imagine. You are wiser than the wisest that I can imagine. I can't wrap my mind around you God.
Maybe I am not meant to wrap my mind around you. Maybe I am only meant to wrap my heart and my soul around you. Maybe that is the only way to really know you.
I love you God and I wrap my heart, soul and spirit around you tonight in a spiritual hug that I hope you can feel. I love you God even though I may never fully understand you. I love you God for what I know of you and for all that I have to learn about you. I love you God because of your intense and unending love for me. In Christ Jesus, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
I don't need you to know everything about me but I love that you want to. I don't need you to understand but I need you to trust. I need you to always remember that I do know it all. I know the end from the beginning and if I am asking you to do something, there is a purpose and plan behind it and I can see the big picture that may be hidden to you. What may seem sometimes like a step backward to you may be just re-positioning to launch you into your new season.
Trust me to know the right path for you. listen to my voice and go where I tell you to go. Do what I tell you to do and do not doubt. As long as you are following my voice, we will end up in my perfect will for your life and that future is good.
I love you daughter. That is so very true. I receive your love and it is a sweet fragrance to me and a balm to my Spirit. I am with you now and forever and I will never leave you. I will guide you always. Sleep well for tomorrow we have some things to do.
My prayer:
Mighty God I ask that I can spend every day for the rest of my life and beyond worshiping you. There is nothing better than the anointing that you pour out when we worship. There is a joy, a peace, an revived energy, you simply provide everything that is needed when I worship you.
I was barely conscious tonight by the time I got done with work but I knew I could not miss the prayer and worship group. Add then you came in and restored my strength. You gave me energy when I had none. You anointed me to speak to your people. You anointed me to help them walk in their gifts and you left me with new joy and new strength.
You are so awesome God. I am in complete awe of you and how you do what you do. I love you more than I can say. What is on your mind tonight God?
What God Said Tonight:
I am getting ready to dress you in a new dress. I am getting ready to cover you in a new way. Your new covering will be beautiful and thicker than ever before. You will need the protection and you will need the deflection that the covering provides.
But don't worry, it will be beautiful on you. It won't keep you from doing what I have called you to do. It will be the clothing you need to to go to the places I need you to go. You need to be dressed for this next thing. You need to be fully covered. I am dressing you now. I am your covering and I am your preparation.
I love you daughter. I will keep throwing you new things as long as you are willing to catch them. There is so much I want to do and I just need people willing to do them. I need people willing to say "Yes." I need people willing to trust me to do the uncomfortable. I need people.
I love you my sweet child. Thank you for saying Yes.
My prayer:
Amazing God. I am completely spent and so tired tonight. Tonight has to be all you. I love you God and I am here because I love you and love to hear from you but I gave every last bit of energy I had to this day. Talk to me God.
What God Said Tonight:
My cross is not a burden for you to bear. My cross was my burden to bear for you. I do not need you to toil and suffer for me. I came to toil and suffer for you. I do not plan a life of hardship and sacrifice for you. I came to sacrifice for you. Over the years, those roles have gotten very confused. My plan, my intention was that I would suffer so you would not have to.
Now that does not mean that you won't have challenges and trouble in life. You will, but I came so that you always had the answer to the trouble. You always have the hope and the way out. That is the difference because I sacrificed for you to do so.
I want you to live free of the fear of death because I died for you. I want you to live free of sickness because I bore you sickness for you. I want you to live because i died for you.
I love you and I want all of this for you. I don't want things from you. Go and rest, knowing I love you more than you may ever be able to understand.
My prayer:

What God Said Tonight:
You have been like a wood stove with my fire burning inside of you. It has been burning just enough to keep you and the people around you warm; but, I am about to turn it up. The fire is about to become visible. My fire is about to grow so that the stove cannot contain it any more. The fire will light up the world. It is a cleansing fire. It is a powerful fire. You have nothing to fear from it. It will not hurt you and it will not burn you but it will do amazing things that you cannot even begin to imagine.
My fire is about to break out of you and run rampant. Do not try to contain it. Let it roam.
I love you daughter. I celebrate with you tonight. I love to see you so happy. You are my precious child and I find you precious beyond material wealth or worth. You are perfect in my eyes. Stay covered in the blood and look forward with anxious anticipation. I told you it would be worth it!
My prayer:
Awesome God. I was reading tonight about using every weapon and every tool that you have given me to fight. It talked about using my faith, peace, prayer and more. I am trying God. But, I need your help.
He tried to bust my foot today God! I tell you, my response was mostly anger! I wanted to hit him back so badly but when the enemy is not physical, it is hard to hit back. I am sick of these attacks. I am sick of satan thinking he has any right to throw this stuff at me. I am a child of the Most High God and he needs to get behind me!
God you told me I could take authority in these types of situations and I take authority in the name of Jesus over these attacks. Satan, you cannot continue to attack my physical health. In the name of Jesus, it is over! No weapon formed against me can prosper. I thank you God that you have given me the authority. I thank you that you have given me weapons to fight.
I thank you God that there is such an amazing blessing on the other side of this that the pain will be nothing more than a distant memory. God I am excited about what you are birthing in me and I am ready for the labor to be over. Let's move into the new thing and leave satan and his attacks behind us.
I love you God and thank you for continuing to heal me.
What God Said Tonight:
I see you my daughter, sword lifted high and swinging it as high and as wide as you can. It is a beautiful site. Keep it going.
No one and nothing will stand up to a warrior child of the King. You are my daughter and my anointed and no one will lay hands on my anointed without paying restitution.
You are right in your declarations and there are more to do this battle. Use you mind, your spirit, my Spirit, and your body when you have to.
You are destined for great things. I am placing a hedge of protection around you right now. You were protected before but he is not giving up so we are going to the next level. There is a lot to see from up there. A lot of things will make sense, at least until you start asking new questions.
I love you my warrior princess. Fight well and rest.
My prayer:
Amazing God. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for giving me the strength for this day after only 3 hours of sleep. Thank you for your favor. Thank you for opportunities to be a blessing. Thank you for teaching me so many things. Most of all, thank you for teaching me about love and the importance of relationships. Thank you for your strength. Thank you for your peace. Thank you God for your love. Thank you.
I know I get a lot of things wrong. I know I have a lot to learn. But, one thing I know is as long as I am chasing you, I am running in the right direction. I love you so much. I pray and ask that you continue to lead, guide, and show me what you want me to do. I promise God to always try to do it, whatever it is.
What God Said Tonight:
There are some chains on you. But they are old and the paint is chipping. They are so close to falling off. One more tug, one more unwarranted forgiveness, one more act of random kindness and you will be free. These chains are pretty puny compared to ones you have faced in the past. I bet you shake them off without even really realizing it.
I have such plans for you and they will be so much easier if you are free. Completely free. No guilt, no sin, no curse, no chains, just freedom and me.
Can you see what I am about to do? Can you hear the preparation? Can you understand that every discouragement, every attack on you and your health, every obstacle, has been trying to keep you from what you are about to see and experience?
I love you so much and I have such great plans. I will guide you always. Rest and we will do more tomorrow.
