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:
There is no greater love than you God. Seems like we are talking a lot about love lately. Makes sense, as you are love. That is the thing that I have to continually remind myself of. It isn't just that you love me, love us. It is that you are love. Without you, there would be no love...there would be no "us" either!
God, help me to love like you. Help me to love because of who you are not because of circumstances. God, help me to remember that love is not about how I am feeling but a decision to be like you. I love you. Loving you is so easy. How could I not love you who are my everything?
What is on your mind tonight God. I am here and ready to set aside everything so I can concentrate completely on you.
What God Said Tonight:
I love you to my daughter.
I wish you would rely on me more. I wish that you didn't always try to get it done on your own so much. I really do have all of the answers and I can help you a lot more than you have allowed me to so far. Life does not have to be as difficult as you have made it. It doesn't have to be the struggle each day. I am here and I am so ready to take the load for you. Give it to me.
Let me lead you in everything. Trust me for everything. I am bursting with the desire to bless you and to give you things beyond your wildest dreams.
As long as you are relying on yourself to accomplish things, we will never be able to do more than what you can do in your natural state. Rely more on me and then we have no limits. All things are possible with me. Expand you horizons, your territory, and your idea of "possible" by leaning more on me.
I will guide your steps. Don't worry, you will still have plenty to do. But let me guide you in what to do, after you have asked me to help. Don 't become so self sufficient that you lose your dependence on me. Don't limit yourself and your future. Your abilities will help you to see the dream of a house built. My abilities can make everything as far as the horizon yours. Everywhere you look can be your territory if you rely on me.
Will you let me give you all that I want to? Will you let go of the reins long enough to let me do my thing? You won't believe how far we can go. I love you and I want to give you the world. Will you let me?
My prayer:
Awesome God of love and glory. rain your love and glory on me tonight God. I ask God that you fill any cracks and brokenness. I pray God that you help me to remember that my trust is in you and not in people.
God, people break my heart sometimes. People disappoint me. God, I break other people's hearts sometimes and I know I disappoint them. God, we are so imperfect. We break covenants. We break trust with each other, a lot. It can be hard to keep loving when that happens.
God, help me to keep my eyes on you. Help me to keep my trust in you so I can bear the disappointments God, help me to disappoint others less than I do right now. Help me to love more than I hurt. Help me God to be better.
What God Said Tonight:
Those things you see as disappointments are not always what they seem to be. How many times have you initially been disappointed, only to later find that I had to move one thing out the way to give you something even better. You know it is true.
Don't blame people when they walk out of your life. It is often a part of my plan, I have a purpose and plan for you and for them. Sometimes that plan coincides with each other. Sometimes you are meant to come together for a moment, a day, a season, and sometimes a life time. All of those encounters are significant. Every one of those relationships is valuable.
Don't mourn too much when I end a relationship. I know that you miss them, but in the bigger picture, you will look back ad see that this time had a purpose. That I have a better plan for you and that plan could not happen if you were not released from some old relationships. It doesn't make those relationships any less good or less important. They will remain valuable to you for the rest of your life.
But, let go so I can bring you the next level. Let go so that your arms are free to receive the new revelation and the new blessing. I am God and I know the end from the beginning. Trust my judgement. Make a decision to see the purpose and the plan in this change and refuse to be hurt by it. Hurt, in this case is completely unnecessary. I love you. Let go and trust me.
My prayer:
Amazing God. Incredible provider. Jehovah Jireh. I have been thinking a lot today about the disparity of wealth today God. It is strange to spend one day with people who don't have food or a roof over their head and the next day with people who live in huge homes and travel the world for fun.
It seems like there should be enough for everyone. It seems like if we could figure out how to share better, no one would have to go hungry. Am I just naive God? What if we really did live the way you talk about in Acts where everyone threw all their money into the pot to provide for the "church." Could we ever make that work as the family of God? I would like to think so but when I think about it, who would be in charge of the communal account? Who could we trust with everything we have. I don't know, but it seems like there should be a better way than this.
It really seems like there should be a way that everyone at least has food, water, shelter. We can put a man on the moon but we can't figure out how to take care of each other? OK, I am done ranting God.
Help us dear God to find a better way. Help us to help each other. I love you God and I love your people. It is hard to see them going without. More specifically God, help me to know what I can do to help. Show me how and when to give to have the greatest impact and to most closely follow you will. God, you know I can give. Show me where it will be most effective and then multiply that gift God like only you can. Thank you Jesus!
What God Said Tonight:
My daughter, if you could better understand Kingdom finances, you would be less worried. I own all of the cattle on a thousand hills. there is no end to my wealth. The streets of heaven are paved with gold.
I showed you earlier tonight me covering you and my people with gold. You are more precious than any amount of money. My people are precious and valuable. You, treat them well. Treat them with respect. Treat them as the valuable carriers of my precious currency that they are.
A coin can help someone who doesn't have one. Listening will help everyone. Everyone wants to be listened to. Everyone wants to have their worth recognized and valued. Step one to evening out the disparity between people is to treat everyone with the same level of respect.
TREAT EVERYONE AS THEY ARE WORTH THE WORLD, BECAUSE THEY ARE.
Value is determined by the core of a person, not by what they have. Value every person at their core and watch their circumstances change.
I love you daughter. Rest now, we have more to do tomorrow.
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!!
