Ease up...

My prayer:
Amazing God how I love you. How I love the reality of your power in my life. God I thank you that I don't need to doubt you. I thank you that you have proven yourself to me over and over and I no longer have to wonder who you are and what you will do. I love you more than I love my own life and I cannot imagine life without you. You are everything I want and need.

God, it was great to see so many old friends today. Sometimes I wish there was more life or more of me so I could do all of the things I want to. That way, I could get my work done, serve you, serve others, and stay in touch and have fun with all of the amazing people you have brought in my life.

Balance is always a challenge for me, I know. There just seems to always be more to do and more to experience than there is time.

God help me to find the balance again. Help me to make sure that in the midst of doing I don't forget the people I am doing it for. I love you God and I remain all yours.

What God Said Tonight:
I am going to keep it short and sweet tonight my girl. The best way for you to find balance is to stop pushing yourself so hard and wait for my timing. It is your own impatience and drive that get you out of balance.

Wait on me. Learn patience. Know that this really is a marathon and not a sprint. I will ensure you have time to do all of the things that I need you to do. If I did not think you had enough time, I would not have them for you to do.

There is a time and a season for everything that we need to do. Let up on yourself and breathe. That is the secret to balance in your life. I love you and I love how you strive but ease up a bit and enjoy the process. This is one of the best times in your life. Don't miss it.

It all makes sense...

My prayer:
God, my God, today was wonderful. When I look back over the last 15 years of my life, well I guess really my whole life, and see how you orchestrate everything, I am in awe. Things that at the time I thought had no real meaning or purpose. Things that I was irritated or even hurt and angry that I had to go through, now it all makes sense. Now I can see the plan, the purpose and how it all works together to prepare me for this time, to prepare me for what we are going to do now.

God, especially poignant to me tonight are the people you have brought into my life over the years. You have the right people at the right time to make the perfect team that you need to accomplish your goals.

I am not sure why it amazes me so much. I mean you are God and you know everything, you know everyone, you see the end from the beginning, so it makes sense that you would know the perfect way to prepare and bring your people together. But, still, to be a part of it, to watch you do it, I am in awe. I love you so much God and can't wait to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:
My precious and intellectual daughter. You always want to know why. You always want to understand the purpose and the plan and you feel much more comfortable when you do. When it all makes sense. I know and understand this about you. I made you that way. There is great use for that way of thinking in my Kingdom. It helps to make strategies and plans. It helps you to learn from mistakes and plan for success. But, like may things, there are two sides to the gift. Remember that when things don't make sense, it does not mean that it is wrong or bad. It just means you don't understand yet. When things don't make sense, and you have brought it to me, let it go and rest knowing that I will take care of it and that you will understand some day.

One of the great things about writing down our talks each night is you can come back and read this. You can come back when you are going through the next hard thing and you can remember that in the end eventually, you will see he purpose of it all. I will never let you go through any thing for no reason. I will ever waste an experience or a talent. You have given me all of you and none of you will go to waste. Every person, every lesson, every skill, and every gift in you will be used for the Kingdom of God. It is what you have told me that you want and in that giving, you will receive. You will get back more than you give. I love you daughter and I am all yours.

Fill up...

My prayer:
My awesome God!! Prayer and worship was so amazing tonight. How you showed up, how you healed, how you drew people together, the shared visions that you gave us, the opportunity to be your hands and feet.

I just sit in complete awe of what you do when we sit back and let you take over. It is truly amazing. I stand in awe of you my God. I stand in awe of your power. Thank you God so much for letting me be a part of it. Thank you for teaching me the things I needed to know to get me here. Thank you God for everything.

Grateful is only a word. Thank you is only two words. If I could use every word in the English language, I could not express what I feel. You are everything I need and everything I want. I am wholly and completely yours God.

What God Said Tonight:
Shhh. Sit a minute and be in my presence. I don't need you to do anymore tonight but I want you to let me blanket you in my peace and my power. You gave much this week, now receive. Receive my love, my joy, my peace. These will never run out.


Receive all that I have for you. Don't worry that you don't deserve it. Your worth comes through your covering  in Chirst. Don't worry that someone needs it more. I have plenty for everyone. Don't worry that it must not be for you. It is.

Receive and as you give, you receive more. I love you daughter. I love that you give. Remember to receive and fuel up. Stay full of me and you will never run dry. My anointing will flow from you like a might raging river, taking with it anyone who comes near. We will sweep through cities and nations. We will bring the water that never runs dry. We will bring the word that saves. We will bring me in and there will be change. Things cannot and will not stay as they are. A change is coming and we will bring it, together .

Love and joy...

My prayer:
What a great day my awesome Lord!! I have clearly had the spirit of joy all over me today and it has been GREAT!! It has been awhile since I have had that, Joy for no particular reason other than being alive. It was awesome! You are awesome. Getting to be a part of your Kingdom and family is awesome. I love you beyond measure. I am so grateful for you. I can't wait to see what we are going to do next. I can't think of anything else really to say God. Today was good. You are good. Life is good.

What God Said Tonight:
I love you daughter. I know I tell you that a lot. You need to hear it a lot. You need to be drenched in my love. I am pouring it out on you now and you experience the joy as a result.

I want you to truly soak in my love for awhile. You have been through some tough times and it is time to refill, recover, and refuel with my love. Receive my love as the healing balm that it is. Relax in my love. Rejoice in my love! It is here for you.

I have more than you can ever need and it is all for you. I am going to spoil you with my love. I am going to immerse you in it. Take that same love and share it with everyone you meet. Be generous with it. You will never give away more than what I can give you.

Love me and love people. Simple.

In agreement with God...

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!

What I don't know...

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.

Seasons...

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.
