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. What a lesson in trusting you to take care of everything today. When I didn't know what to do, you stepped in and did it for me. When I messed up, you stepped in with a ready made solution.
My God, I am so grateful for you in my life. I am so tremendously grateful for how you take care of me. I don't know enough words to truly tell you how I feel. I am so incredibly fortunate and blessed to have you on my side! I don't deserve you but I can't live without you. Thank you God!
What God Said Tonight:
You are living my plan for your life. As long as you are doing that, of course I will take care of all of the details. When my will and your will are the same, it is easy for me to fulfill your prayer requests. It is easy for me to anticipate your prayer requests. When we want the same things and when we are in agreement, life, your life is so much easier.
Seek my will, try to find a way to agree with it, even when it seems odd, and you will find yourself in a season where everything is easy and works together to accomplish your goals. Be in agreement with me and see every mountain moved and every promise fulfilled. Be in agreement with me and feel my power moving in your life.
I love you sweet daughter and I love that we are in agreement. You are going to see some truly great things as a result!
My prayer:
Amazing Father. I had some major technical difficulties getting here tonight but I am glad I persevered. I need to hear your voice. I always need to hear your voice. It is like air to me. I need to hear from you to survive. I was clearly created with a God shaped hole that only you can fill. God, thank you for filling me.
Thank you for being everything I need. Thank you for never holding back. Thank you for your power and your grace in my life. thank you God that you give me hope. Thank you God that you love me beyond my ability to imagine and understand. Thank you God for helping me to believe in things that I don't yet see. Thank you for teaching me about the power of my words and so many other things. God you are so awesome and I am forever grateful. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
You have learned a lot over the years together with me but you have more to learn. You know that quote you saw the other day "Don't necessarily believe everything you think?" It stood out to you. Do you know why? There are things happening in your life right now that you think you have all figured out. There are things that seem like barriers that may not be barriers. There are things that seem like attacks that may not be attacks.
Suspend what you believe to be true about the events in your life for just a little bit. Be open to alternate explanations. I will shed light on it all. I will give you the wisdom to see and understand it when it is time.
In the meantime, remember that you don't know what you don't know yet. Be mindful that I am all knowing and I will guide you but that you do not know it all. Even in those situations that seem so similar to past situations you have been through, this is a new season and the same events may have a different meaning and a different cause.
Trust me to know the truth. Trust me to share that truth with you then it is time. And in the meantime, in all humility, remember that you don't know it all. I love you daughter now and forever. You are on path of great things. Listen to me for each step.
My prayer:
Incredible God, thank you so much for the change in perception today! Thank you for finding a way to get me to see all that you are doing and all that I am blessed with instead of the fear and the lack! I really needed that change! Thank you for doing it through my dear friend "M" who doesn't even realize what she did for me! She thought she was just having lunch with me and asking me what was new. When really, she provided a chance for me to objectively to look at what was new and all that you are doing...and it was GOOD! It is GOOD!
My God, please don't ever stop, don't ever give up on me. When I don't get it the first time, please keep trying until I do. I know you promise me to do that, I just want you to know that I WANT you to do it. Keep challenging me, helping me grow, teaching me, expecting more from me. I will keep trying. I love you God.
What God Said Tonight:
Growth, is part of the seasons. My whole Kingdom is based on seasons. There are seasons for growth, seasons of maturity, seasons of new birth, and even seasons of death. You will always be in one of my seasons and you can always count on that season to change.
Like the leaves on the trees. First a bud, then a leaf, then a mature leaf, then the leaf turns brown and dies only to be replaced by a new bud. Each year, the tree gets bigger, the leaves more numerous and bigger. Each year there is growth.
That is what living for me is like You are my tree. Each season you have experiences that bud, mature, turn old, and die. These experiences keep coming and going and during all of it, the base, the trunk, your character is also growing.
That is why you cannot and should not ever lose hope. This season will pass. A new season will come. I will always have new things for you daughter. Do not worry about or mourn the old. I will move things in and out of your life so the transitions are so smooth you will hardly notice them; but, you will look back on this time and say, "Oh, now I get it."
I love you my daughter and weather the seasons well.
My prayer:
Amazing God. You are Jehovah Jireh, my provider. You are Jehovah Nissi, my victory. you are Jehovah Rapha my healer. You are Jehovah Shalom my peace. You are everything God. You are all knowing and all powerful.
I sometimes still get confused as to why you need us. I know you have told me but when I look at all that you are and see how little of anything I am, why would you need or want me for anything?
God, help me to be a better person. Help me to be more of who you want me to be. Help me to love better. Help me to be more responsive to your will. Help me God to be all that you want me to be. I love you God and I am willing and you are able.
What God Said Tonight:
I think you need to go back and read last night's response because you are still struggling with that self worth thing. I love you just as you are. I have covered you in my blood that your imperfections are completely covered. I love you so much I wanted to provide a foolproof way to make sure you are redeemed and we can be together forever.
The answer to most any question you have for me is that I love you. Why do I need you and want your service and help? Because I love you. Whey do I tell you to pray over everything and pray without ceasing? Because I love you and when you are praying we are getting to interact one-on-one. Why do I tell you not to do some things? Because I love you and those things will hurt you. Why do I keep this world turning despite the pain and the things that have gone wrong? Because I love you and I want every single person to have the chance to love me and receive my love.
Next time you have a bunch of questions running through your head, try putting the answer "Because I love you" after it and see if it makes sense. I bet it will.
I love you so much I can never fully expresses it to you. I sacrifice for you daily and I do it willingly because of my love for you. Rest and know that we will have plenty more to do together in this life. You are not experiencing endings but you are experiencing new beginnings. Go with it and see what we will do next. I love you daughter...there I go again! Loving you.
My prayer:
Awesome God. All day I have been filled with doubts. I don't want to whine about it but I think I need to bring it to you. I am doubting myself and my capabilities. I am doubting whether I can do what I believe you have asked me to do. I am doubting the anointing on my life. I am doubting it all.
I know this will pass. I have been here enough times to know that these phases don't last. But, tonight, in the middle of it, I just feel rotten. I know that none of it is me anyway. It is all you working through me. But, what if you stop working through me? What if I mess up and you can't work through me anymore? This life is worth nothing to me if I can't serve you and accomplish what you have for me. And, that is where I am tonight. Feeling like I don't have the right stuff to do what you want me to do and since I don't, life doesn't feel worth the trouble.
I am sorry for the drama. I know I have no right to complain. You have done so much for me God. I am truly grateful for all that you have done and do in my life. I am grateful for who you are. I am sorry I have let the doubts get the better of me today. I know that you have already said I am the head and not he tail, that you will make me succeed, that I am a priest and a king. I know that you have said that I can do all things through you. God, I am trying to encourage myself and look at how you see me. I am not doing a very good job of believing it tonight. Help please.
What God Said Tonight:
It is transition time again. You always get unsure of yourself in transitions. It is normal but it is not necessary. Stop worrying about what you can and cannot do. Start remembering what I can do.
In this next season after the transition, you will have to lean on me even more. I will be asking you to do many things that are beyond your ability to do them. You will need to turn to me for every one of them. I have gifted you with many talents and you have used them all for my Kingdom. I cannot tell you how much that has meant to me. Now, it is time for the next level. Now it is time for you to trust me to do what I have promised. Now it is time for you to rely on me for every step and every accomplishment.
I have some very specific ideas about how we are to move forward and I will guide and direct you through it all. Your job right now is to let go of the notion that you have to do it all. You only have to show up and I will take care of every other step as it is needed. As I have so many times in your past, when you need a new skill, I will give it to you. When you need people to help, I will bring them around you. When you need strength I will give you mine.
Trust in me, not in yourself. You will let you down. Not because you want to but because you are limited. I am not. I love you daughter. Watch during the next couple of weeks and note all of the changes. Know that I have equipped you for it all. Peace I give to you tonight.
My prayer:
Beautiful God! SO, we just did this once and the whole thing got erased before I could post it. I guess you didn't want that one posted...Your will be done! What do you want to say tonight? I am here.
What God Said Tonight:
It is not that I didn't want to to say the things that I said to you before or that there was anything wrong with them. They were just for you tonight.
Sometimes, I want your undivided attention to tell you something that you don't have to share. We don't do that very much anymore. You share so much which is fantastic and what I want you to do but I miss our private time sometimes.
I need some one-on-one time now and then. Let's spend this Sabbath together, doing things you like to do and things we like to do together. But mostly, lets spend it together one-on-one. I love corporate worship. I love when my people gather together but now and then, I want you one-on-one.
I love you daughter. Rest now and we will be together for ever.
My prayer:
My awesome God. Falling asleep sitting up again God. I gave all I had today, which wasn't a lot to start with. I am grateful that you brought me through this day. I am grateful for your favor. I am grateful for your healing. I am grateful for you. And, all I want now, more than sleep and more than anything else. I want to hear your voice. I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
My Spirit is on you and in it you are strong. My Spirit lives in you and guides you, gives you favor with others, shows you the truth, gives you strength when you have none.
There is a light in you, a reflection of my Holy Spirit that draws people and they don't even know why. There is a power in you that draws people and they don't even know why. They are drawn to my Spirit, alive in you.
My power is addictive. Once you experience it, you always want more. That is why I never worry about the prodigal son. I know he will be back. Every time. You can't turn your back on me and my power once you have experienced it.
That is why it is so important that everyone has an opportunity to experience me and my power. Everyone needs to have the chance to choose me. It is so important and possibly the most important thing that there is. Help people experience me through your life Provide opportunities for people to experience me. Make it possible for everyone to have the opportunity to know me.
I will continue to draw them to you through light and my power. I will bring them. Be ready when they come. reflect me, share my power, help them to experience that power. That is your main objective and the primary thing I need you focused on right now.
I love you daughter. Rest well.
