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 of love. You who are love. God, I talked to a lot of people today who believe in you but who think that you don't love them, that you are mad at them, that you hate them and want them to live a life of less than enough. God, I tried to tell them that isn't who you are, but I don't know if they believed me.
God, my God, we need a flood of your love over our lives. We need your powerful love to overtake us. I pray and ask tonight that you shower people with your love tonight. God, let them see, feel, and know that you do love them, that you want only good things for them, that you have a plan and a future for them. God, my God, Holy Spirit, fall on them with your love. Even tonight God, make your love real for them.
God I love you so much and I remember what it was like before I really understood that you loved me and that you wanted me to live blessed. It was horrible, dark, lonely, and at times, unbearable. God, show them your love as you have shown me. I love you Father.
What God Said Tonight:
I pour my love into you so you can share it with others. I do not force myself on anyone. I only come into someone's heart if they ask for it. So, if you share my love, and they like it, they can ask me to come in and I can flood them with love.
Keep doing what you are doing. Keep sharing my love. Keep pouring out what I give to you. My children really only have one job in life. To love. Love me and love each other. One job, one mission.
I love you more than ever.
My prayer:
Awesome teacher! Thank you God for the new vision and direction in my study of your word tonight!! I am excited and can't wait to see where this takes us!
You are awesome God. I know I say it a lot and if I had a better word, I would use it. You are beyond anything I ever could have imagined. How could I have known, when I chose to live a life for you, that you would provide everything for me, that you would love me like I have never been loved before, that you would teach me everything I need to know, that you would heal me from every hurt whether physical, emotional or spiritual? I mean, it is pretty unbelievable even when I am in the middle of it, living it.
God, if people could really see it and believe it, if they could understand what a life with you is really like, or what it can be like, there would not be a single person who would not give their life to you. God, you have spent thousands of years trying to get us to understand and, at best, we only get a small sliver of your message.
God, help us to hear you, to understand you, to live the life you have for us. Help us God to find ways to truly explain that life to others. My God what a world this could be if we all lived in the full promises that you have for our lives!
I love you God and I am eternally grateful for who you are and the life you give me every day.
What God Said Tonight:
You are embarking on a new journey in your faith. You are about to open windows of wisdom and understanding that you cannot imagine. I have strategically placed people and messages and I am about to take you thorough a course program that will blow your mind and equip you in ways that you cannot imagine.
I am glad you are excited. It is exciting. The power in my word is waiting for those who will truly tap into it. My power is here and stronger than ever. You will do these things and more if you believe, if you learn, if you trust.
I am anxious to begin this journey with you. I am anxious for you to learn new levels of understand and access the gifts and the power that I have for you. Study, trust, believe and you will learn truly great things.
Rest now. We will do more tomorrow. I love you daughter and I have prepared this time of study for you, knowing you will share, like always. I love you so much.
My prayer:
My awesome God of joy. Thank you so much for tonight God. The laughter, the fun, the friends...I needed it so much!!! I am sorry that I got so tied up in the work of life that I forgot to enjoy it God. I will try to do better. I will try to keep better balance. I will try. I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
Ah, the importance of joy. You know where I say the joy of the Lord is your strength? Have you ever really thought about that? It is true. There is strength in joy. There is power in joy. When you fill your life with joy, especially my joy that is not dependent on circumstances, you gain a strength to face any challenge. If you meet each challenge with joy, you have already won.
You are my sweet child and there are many talents and gifts in you but if you don't have joy, what is the point. If you don't have joy, your life is miserable and the people around you see the misery, not me. When you are full of my joy, no matter the circumstance. they see the joy . They see me.
Live a life of joy. Find joy in the small things and the big. Make time to laugh. Make time to play. Make time to renew your joy and your strength every day.
Seems like I am giving you a lot of every day instructions right now. But, that is what it is all about. Living for me, living with me every day. We need to build up some new habits that will take you into the new season. They will strengthen you and help you.
I love you daughter remember this joy and find more if it in your life. Surround yourself with it. Live in a joy bubble. It is a lot more fun.
My prayer:
My God I am glad to be with you here tonight. This truly is the best part of my day. You and me, nothing better.
God, I give it all up to you tonight. Every worry, every need, every thought, all my love, everything I am, everything I have, I give to you tonight God. I do it knowing that anything in your hands turns out good.
God, I pray and thank you for a good life. A life that is a blessing to the people around me. A life with a purpose. A life that is pleasing and useful to you. Thank you God for every opportunity and for the wisdom to find balance to be all that you want me to be. I am all yours God and love you so very much.
What God Said Tonight:
I have a lot for you to do, but not tonight. I have a plan for your life but that plan includes times to rest and times to act. There is a time and season for every single thing. I have to teach you the line between healthy drive to get things done and obsession with making things happen RIGHT NOW.
You do not have to get everything done RIGHT NOW. There are things that I have slotted to happen next week, next month, next year. I hate to call it waiting because I know how hard waiting is for you. It is more of a relaxing into the rhythm of my timing. Don't get ahead of me and don't lag behind. Be free enough with your time that you can move when I need you to move but do not be idle.
Do at least one thing with great purpose every day. Just one thing. It may be a different thing each day. I kind of hope it is. But each day, find one thing to do that truly matters. I will guarantee you that your life will take on a new sense of purpose and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish with just one thing a day.
I love you daughter and I gratefully take on everything, every issue and every problem. Bring it all to me and I will make beauty from the ashes. I will turn it all to your good. I will make water into wine and see your life fulfilled to its full measure. You will not fall short of the goal. Be in time and in tune with me and you are going to be awesome!!
My prayer:
God you are so good. You are so patient. You are so loving. You are not always easy, but you are always so good.
God, I thank you for having a plan for my life that is bigger and better than my ability to imagine it. I thank you God for not being satisfied with leaving me at good enough but encouraging me on to all that you have for me. Thank you God for health, joy, peace, protection and love in my life.
You are the source of everything I need God and I will not forget. I love you God.
What is on your mind tonight? I am here and I am listening. Your voice is all that matters right now.
What God Said Tonight:
There is a burning fire that is within you and it is catching and spreading. My holy fire is about to cover the earth.
Fire can destroy but it can also provide warmth, light, life. Fire can provide new life. Do not be afraid of this fire. It is coming for a purpose and a plan and I will keep in control. It will come to accomplish exactly what I have planned it to do.
Watch for my signal. Watch for my leading. When it is time, I will tell you what to do. I will guide you always.
Thank you my daughter for being my willing servant and vessel. I will have need of that service many more times. Together we will see and accomplish great things. I want you to be a part of it because you so want to be a part of it. You begged me for years.
The time is here and it is now. You and me, let's do it. Let's accomplish all that I have for you. Let's watch people changed and futures redeemed. Let's see the power of salvation of the heart to change and restore people. Let's go out together and talk to the people who don't know me yet. Let's go network the world until every corner is covered with my word.
I love you daughter and I am grateful that we can do this together. I could use the company. We are in for a wild but fun ride. This next thing, this next season is going to be so exciting! Hang on, don't lose hold of me or your faith and we will ride this out to a place of even greater glory and favor. I love you so much!!
My prayer:
Awesome God of love. My heart is hurting a bit tonight. I am really getting tired of watching us, your children, hurt each other. I mean, I know that we are imperfect and we will hurt each other unintentionally. But, there are a lot of times that people say and do things that they know will hurt and they do it anyway.
I am tired of seeing amazing and wonderful people who I care about getting hurt. I am tired of seeing amazing and wonderful people who I care about hurting others. God, I am tired of seeing myself hurt people, with my own preconceived ideas of what is right. Who am I to think I have it all figured out? It should be pretty clear by now that I don't.
What is it in us God that seems to drive us to hurt other people, even those who we love the most? More importantly, how do we stop? How do we learn to love like you do? How do we learn to love others as ourselves? I can't change the world, but I can change me if you tell me what to do.
I love you God. Thank you for every blessing you poured out on me today and thank you for all that you protected me from. You are awesome and I love you SO MUCH!
What God Said Tonight:
Sin. Sin is the root of all evil in your life. Sin is the action that opens the door to evil in your life. Sin is what makes you see others as threats instead of the brother and sister that they are. Sin blinds you to love. Sin hurts you and makes you want to hurt others. It is really that simple.
So, get the sin out of your life and you will notice that you hurt people less and you love people more. I could keep going, but it really is that simple.
You are redeemed in my blood and I therefore do not see your sin. It is erased and you are forgiven as you repent. But, there are still natural consequences to your actions and this is one of them.
Get the sin out and see your life change.
I love you daughter and I love that you think about this. Sin no more and you will love like I do.
My prayer:
Awesome God of everything. God it is good to spend this time with you. I love these quiet times together. I love to hear your voice. I love to hear what is on your mind.
I have been going through a lot of stuff lately. Thank you for not getting tired of me bringing it all to you. Thank you for always listening and always responding. Thank you for always having the perfect word, the perfect answer to anything and everything I am going through. I leave every situation and every worry at your feet God, kniwing you have already provided a way out.
I love you God. Tell me what is on your mind tonight. Tell me how your day was. If there is anything you want to talk about, I am here to listen tonight.
What God Said Tonight:
I love this time with you too.
Time is a gift. Spending time with someone is a gift that sometimes costs more and is worth more than gold. Time is the one true commodity that once spent, cannot be redeemed or gained back.
But the fact is time means very little in the face of eternity. When you literally have all the time in the world, waiting, spending time, become less of a sacrifice. I can spend this time with you because I literally have all the time in the world.
Think about how you are spending your time. Do you have the time or do you take the time to talk to the person who needs to hear your voice? Do you take the time to stop and pray when I put it on your heart? Do you take the time to love me and love others? Do you take the time to show it?
Find time each day to love me, to love the people around you. Spend your time on worthwhile pursuits. Remember it is precious, even though you have an eternity with me. This is one case where scarcity does not determine worth.
I love you daughter. Thank you for taking time to spend time with me. That will always be time well spent.
