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:
Mighty God. I am not sure what to pray about tonight God. Thank you for today. Today was good and much needed. I needed the rest, the hike, the book, all of it. I think I am ready to go after another week. Just feeling a little boring and mundane tonight God. Maybe I should stop talking and listen. What you say is always a lot more interesting than what I say. I love you God and am grateful for all that you are.
What God Said Tonight:
There is a light at the end of the tunnel and that light is me. That hope is me. That passage into a new life and a new time is me. I am life and I am all around you. I speak and things come into existence. I breathe and there is life. I am the breath of life for you. I am not only your purpose but I am also the very essence of your life. The source of your life.
I will not allow your time on this earth to end before my appointed time for you. I choose when you, my child, comes to heaven. Your life and your death is completely in my hands. Trust me to know the timing and do not live in fear of it coming early. Trust me. I will protect you. i will heal you l I will strengthen you. I will do whatever is necessary so that you can achieve all that I have set out for you.
I will equip you for every last thing. Trust me. There is a lot left to do and most of it will be exciting and fun. I have such good plans for you. I love you so much. I waited for you for so long. I will not sacrifice one day of this life with you. Walk out in my love this week and be what I have called you to be.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I made some bad choices today. I made choices that were not in my best interest. Why do I do that? I know that I will regret it. I know at the time it is the wrong choice and still, I do it! I can be my own worst enemy at times. At the time, I think, oh it will be different this time or I deserve a little treat. But then, it is never as good as I thought it would be and then I am left with regret and guilt.
God forgive me for the wrong choices. Help me God to make better choices. Help me to do what I already know is right and best. Help me God to stop lying to myself. Wash me clean in your blood and guide me with a firm hand God. In Jesus name, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
I have made you to soar with the eagles. Bad decisions, sin, weigh you down and keep you from soaring as I intended. I have given you everything you need to make the right choices. Learn. Learn from today and change what you do in the future.
There is no condemnation in me. There is no need for guilt or regret. I have washed you clean and you have a new slate. But learn from it. Tomorrow, remember tonight and make the right choices. Even when they seem like the harder choice, make the right choice. Even when it seems too hard, just do it and I will help you.
I love you daughter. Your bad choices today were good, in a way, if they taught you to make better choices tomorrow. Life is a continual lesson. You will always be learning and climbing as long as you are alive. It is a big part of the reason you are here, to learn and to grow.
Focus on making right decisions and you will. Reward yourself for good decisions and you will make them more often. I love you daughter. Go and sin no more. Learn from today and sin no more.
My prayer:
God I love you. I love your presence. I can't live without you. Nights like tonight when your presence is so apparent. We could hear you, feel you, see you...God I can't get enough of that. I can't get enough of your healing power. I can't get enough of you God. Every moment for the rest of eternity is not enough time to spend with you. You are all that I need and all that I want. I love you more than I can ever express.
This week was wonderful and insanely busy. I am so grateful for a day of rest this weekend. I love you God. You think of everything that I need and you provide it before I know I need it. I am yours forever God.
What God Said Tonight:
Walking through life with me is not so bad. There are struggles and battles, absolutely. There are decisions and work. There are choices and consequences. But I will always be with you. I will always love you. I will always be the way out. I will always have the answer.
It rains on the just and unjust together. Everyone has struggles and battles. But my kids get an umbrella and a space heater to warm up and dry off. My kids have to go through all the same challenges but they can know that they will always win in the end. They can go into every challenge with a blessed assurance that they will win.
You my daughter can face every challenge for the rest of your life knowing that I will make you win in the end. My kids will not be oppressed and held back any more. My kids are about to be set free in a whole new way. My kids are the jewels of the earth and the rocks that the future will be built on.
See me, hear me, feel me and know that I am God, I am here, and I will see the new Jerusalem just as I have said.
I love you more than you are worth. I love you for what I am worth. You will never lose my love and you cannot keep me from loving you. I can't help myself. Get use to it.
My prayer:
Amazing God! I just watched Tim Tebow miraculously lead his team to another win, giving you all the glory and then...he started a huge prayer circle in the middle of the football field with guys from both teams. AWESOME!!!!!! What an amazing example he is of one of your kids God! What an amazing impact he is having for you and your Kingdom. AWESOME!!! Mighty God, I pray your protection around him and his family. The enemy can't be happy about this. Please God, keep him safe to proclaim your glory in a way I have never seen before.
God I pray that you make me a positive influence on those around me. Help me God to be that reflection of you within my circle. Help me God to show the world how amazing you are.
I love you SO MUCH and I am so excited that you were shown off in such a great way tonight God!! Yeah team GOD!!!
What God Said Tonight:
Hear me now my daughter. I will speak through anyone willing. I will show off in anyone willing to be my vessel. I will do the miraculous in anyone willing to share it with others. I am not stingy and I don't play favorites. Anyone willing to be my lighthouse will have my light in them. It will never burn out or fade. As long as you keep your windows clean and you are willing to let it shine out, my light will shine bright from you and lead those around you to safety. It will lead them to me.
I am the truth (I cannot lie), I am the light (I bring life, heat, and illuminate the dark places. I am all that you need and i will make you successful for the sake of the Kingdom and because I love you.
Keep your windows clean. If you let yourself get clouded and confused, my light won't shine through you. A lighthouse that does not shine is a very sad thing. It is also a dangerous thing. I have you right where you are because I need someone in your place to lead people to safety and to me. If you refuse to let my light shine through you, if you hide it, not only will people not find me but they will be crashed against the rocks and may die in torment. That is how serious it is. This is life and death. Shine my light and bring life to the world.
I love you daughter. You are and will continue to be my lighthouse, won't you?
My prayer:
Another amazing day filled with your favor God! Thank YOU!! I love these seasons where everything seems to be working. Everything is blessed. There were so many amazing things that you blessed me with at work today God! You are blessing me to overflow again and I LOVE IT!! It is also exhausting and I am really ready for some good sleep tonight.
I do have one worry or thought. When things are all going so wonderfully, part of me is always thinking, when is it going to end? You have taught me that the only things that don't change are you and change itself. Everything, everywhere is changing, except for you. That is a very comforting thought when things are hard and not going well. But, in seasons like this where it is all so good, a part of me wonders, when it will all change and what will be the turning point.
Even as I am typing this God, I am feeling like I am being ungrateful and I don't mean to be. I LOVE what you are doing in my life. But I love it so much, I am afraid what it will be like when it changes. Forgive God for my doubts and forgive me for complaining when things are better than I could hope for. Cover me in your blood God and keep me whole.
What God Said Tonight:
What would you say if I were to tell you that you can live a life of perpetual goodness? It sounds too good to be true but it is not. The more you look away from your circumstances and the more you look at me, the better you are able to live a life where "good" is defined by who I am and my presence, not by what happens.
I can, do, and will continue to bless you and pour blessing on you. But I need you to always maintain an attitude that looks to me to define how your day went. I need you to come to me everyday and ask questions. Any day that I am in your life is a win and I can turn any circumstance twoard your good.
I love you daughter and don't want you to spoil this amazing time wondering when it will be "over." You are my child and you are therefore destiend to an eternity of blessing. It may change the way it looks now and then, but I will bless you all the days of your life. Go sleep, there is more tomorrow.
My prayer:
Days like today God are too good to exist outside of you and what you do for me! Too good to be true, but it is!!! You are awesome God. Thank you for today. Thank you for ridiculous favor. Thank you for putting me in positions of influence. THANK YOU GOD!!!
And, now, with only two hours of sleep from last night and a very full and wonderful day, I am ready to pass out but have to hear your voice first. I have to know what my amazing Father has to say. What is on your mind God?
What God Said Tonight:
It is my great pleasure to bless you. I enjoy seeing you blessed. I am encouraged that you always remember to thank me and that you give me the glory for it. Don't ever forget where your blessing comes from. The second you do, satan jumps in and pride swells up and before you know it, you have fallen to pride and to sin.
It can happen in the blink on an eye. I love to bless you but it can be dangerous too. That is why it is easy for me to bless new children, those who have just come to me. When people have newly come to me, they are so fresh, they remember how bad it was, they know that they don't deserve anything good and they are so grateful for all that they receive.
Sometimes, when we have known each other for awhile and you get accustomed to being blessed, it can spoil you and make you pretty horrible to live with. The insurance against that is simple gratefulness. Remember that all blessings come from me and they come from my love, not because you "earned" anything.
I am with you now and forever and love you more than I can say. I have more blessings for you. Can you contain them? Probably not but I am bringing them anyway. I love you sweet daughter. Be blessed and be a blessing forever and ever, plus one day.
My prayer:
All knowing God. You were so right. Something changed today. Status quo was not enough anymore today.
Amazing God, thank you for healing Mom today. Thank you God for hearing our prayers so quickly. Thank you for the physical assurance of your healing power. Thank you God. This life would be so much harder without her in it.
Your miraculous power is so amazing. I know not everyone realizes it, but your miracles are real and they are for today. I believe that you work in my life in little ways every day. But i also believe and experience your crazy awesome miracles on a regular basis. I know that you can provide for me out of your riches in glory and I see it in a bank account that doesn't go down even when I spend money. I know that you heal and I see it when I pray over Mom, friends, others, myself and the sickness runs away like a scared puppy. And, so much more!!
There are the miracles that I have heard about but haven't seen yet like raising from the dead and the jewels that appear out of no where. I want to see both of those God. I want to marvel at your power and be able to tell everyone about it. I want to see and experience it ALL! You are so amazing God. Don't hold back, show me everything! please.
What God Said Tonight:
You will see every miracle that you have faith enough to see. My miracles are surrounding you every day. You see the ones that you have faith enough to believe. The others, those that you don't yet have faith to believe, you either do not notice or you find a "reason" for their happening.
Experiencing my miracles is not magic. It is faith, belief, and awareness. I am all around you every day. My miracles abound. Open your eyes and see. Believe with everything that you have that I am God and I can do ALL things. There is already so much happening around you but you will need to watch for it. I will help you see.
I love you my miracle.
