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:
Amazing Father. I am feeling a little tired and whiny tonight God but I don't want to whine to you. I have done enough of that in my life.
I don't want to focus on the stuff I don't have tonight, but it keeps popping into my head. I want to stay focused on you and all of the wonderful things you do for me and provide for me. I want to focus on all the amazing things you have done in my life.
It kind of feels like a seesaw in my head and in my heart God. I know that I should, and I want to think on the good things. And, I do for awhile, but then I start thinking about everything that hasn't happened yet, and I get down.
And, now I realize, I am doing something that drives me crazy when other people do it. I tell you I don't want to whine and then I proceed to whine. God I am sorry. You deserve a lot better than me. You are so good. You are so perfect and I am so not. Thank you for loving me anyway. I would be worse than lost without your love.
Ok, shutting up now God. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
You know that you don't have to be anything for me? You know that I love you just as you are? You know that I cover you in my blood because I don't expect you to be perfect or even good.
I am your God and I am your Father and I love you more than you can imagine. I have such joy waiting for you in the next season. You will have some of the big things that you are missing. You will see dreams fulfilled. You will be amazed at how effortless and wonderful it is. But, wait on my timing.
When you have all of it, when the dream is fulfilled, you will dream a new dream. You will have new desires. I will take care of those too. But realize, just like I said last night, you will always be waiting for something. That is the nature of a life of hope. If you had everything that you wanted right now, you would have nothing to believe me for. You would neglect me. Not on purpose, but you would.
I will shower you with gifts regularly. I will bring people into your life that will bless you beyond belief. I will provide opportunities that are unthinkable to you right now. And, when we have done all of that, we will do more.
Keep your eyes on me. Don't panic unless you see me panic. I love you daughter. Sleep well knowing that I really an in charge of everything and that I love you so very much.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I can't think of a single thing to talk about tonight. I love you, that has not changed and I pray it never will. I am grateful for a day of relative peace. I need your help with...well with everything. But that stuff is always true. What is on your mind God? Tell me how your day was. Is there anything you need? Is there anything I can do? Or, if you just need someone to listen, I am here. Whatever you want God.
What God Said Tonight:
I am waiting on a few things. There are some things that need to happen before the new season, so I am waiting.
I can see you making a face, but waiting for me is not as hard as it is for you. My experience of time is different than yours, Your life is but a breath in the grand scheme of time. However, it is a breath that is precious and wonderful to me.
Come and wait with me, keep me company while we wait. Let's enjoy the scenery in the meantime. There are sunsets and flowers to enjoy. There are people to talk to and get to know. There are people to help and to love. There are fun times to be had.
Waiting doesn't mean that life stops. You will always be waiting for something. Don't let it stress you out. I have been waiting for this time since the beginning of time and I am excited for where we are at and where we are going. You are living in a significant time and your life will have significance to eternity.
While we wait, I will protect you, lead you and guide you. I will make sure that you are protected and whole. I love you so much. Wait with me awhile. It won't be too bad. I promise.
My prayer:
God, I not sure what else to say tonight. We have been talking all day as the challenges of this day chased me down and try to bury me. Thank you God that because I can trust in you, they did not win. I sit here tonight in full confidence that you will take care of this latest hassle. I can rest knowing that you will guide me through each step.
Thank you for walking me through this life. I would be so lost without you, literally and figuratively. I will trust in you forever. I will lean on you every day. I am not much but I am a giant killer with you on my side. Talk to me tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
Ha, you always end up identifying with David. He was a man after my own heart as you are.
You don't know what you avoided simply by trusting me today. I know the circumstances did not look so good, but satan had a much worse plan for this day. Your trust, your faith, your belief that I will take care of you no matter what, stunted his plans. It kept his plans from having the outcome that he had hoped for. He is pretty irritated tonight.
Trust me and I will move mountains for you. I will make sure you succeed. I will prosper you beyond your imagination. Trust me and the world is yours. I will give you an inheritance that you did not earn but is yours because I love you and you are covered by blood. You are adopted to me in my blood. You are the child of my heart and I love you more than I can tell you.
Today was truly a good day. I know you don't see it just yet, but trust me, it was a good day. I love you. Rest now. I have got this.
My prayer:
Wow God, I don't even know what to say. I have no words. Prayer and Worship with the gang tonight was beyond anything I have ever known. Thank you for your anointing. Thank you for the prophecies. Thank you for the visions. Thank you most of all for using 5 month old "J" to lay hands on "D" for healing. I have never seen anything like that. He stretched his little hand out and laid it flat on "D"'s foot for 10 minutes without moving! It was crazy wonderful God! You can use anybody. ANYBODY!
God thank you for the message on being a vessel for you. Thank you God for the vision of the vessel as a clear, white tube with nothing blocking you flowing through us. Thank you God!!!! AMAZING!!! I love you beyond measure.
What God Said Tonight:
You are welcome my daughter. I told you tonight would be special. You created an atmosphere to allow me to move. That is all I really need. Just an open door. Just a willing vessel. Just a opportunity and a little bit of faith. That is all I need.
I don't need a lot of hoopla. I don't need people with fancy degrees. I don't need cameras, although they are good documentation for later. All I need is a little bit of space and an opportunity.
Make space for me and I will do remarkable things in your life. Don't get so crowded and clogged up that you plug up my ability to flow through you. Roto rooter your vessel once in a while to clear out the clogs and I will run free and strong through you.
I am desperate to pour out my love on the world before it is too late. I am ready to flood the world with love. I need to do it through you. I need to do it through the people who already know me. Let me flow through you. let me release my love on the world through you. Now is the time and you are the right person. All is set into place. Let's do it.
My prayer:
My God. My Lord. My teacher. My Father. My Savior. My provider. My peace. My joy. My healer. My everything. You are mine and I am all yours. As we get closer to the celebration of your birth on earth I want to take a minute tonight to recognize that we belong to each other.
You created me and then you bought and paid for me with your blood. I am clearly yours. And, you are mine...because...well, because you are. You are my everything. You created me. You love me. You protect me. You make sure that I have every last thing I need. I choose you. You are mine. And that is it.
That is all that matters. My God, in the craziness around me, you are mine and I am yours. In the tragedy that I see around me, you are mine and I am yours. You are my island of sanity in the middle of insanity.
I am so glad that we belong to each other. What a paltry word for it God "glad". I am out of my mind with gratefulness. I don't have a word for how grateful I am. God, let's get all your kids together and live above the yuck, the sin, that leaches throughout this world. You and us God. I am ready. Let's get on with it. I love you with everything I have that is capable of love.
What God Said Tonight:
Where do you want to go? As long as we are together and you keep your eyes on me, peace is yours. My perfect will is yours. The only time you get caught up in the craziness and the sin is when you get your eyes off of me. We can live in paradise right here and right now. All we need is each other. My family together is all we need. Loving each other.
I hate when you fight each other. Such a waste. Sometimes you sound like two kids in the backseat of the car fighting over who got over on the others' side. Such a waste of time.
Love on each other. Love people. I know it can be hard. They have their issues and you have yours. But love anyway. It is that love, the love for no reason, that will create the beautiful place that you dream of. That will create heaven here on eaerth.
Love your way through. I will always love you. I won't ever stop. Learn to love with a tenacity that won't let go. Love it out.
My prayer:
Awesome God. How do I explain how amazing you are? When I am sad, you bring me joy. When I am confused, you give me wisdom and peace. When I am happy, you celebrate with me. Nothing missing nothing lacking, shalom. That is what you are to me God. You fill every lack in my life and you add to every blessing.
You truly turn EVERYTHING to my good. It is crazy but it is true. I love you God. How could I not? Everything good in my life is a direct result of you.
What God Said Tonight:
Living the good life is not so hard. It is entirely within your control. It is a reflection of your attitude and nothing more. If you live a life of gratitude, you will live a life of blessing.
I am your source. I am the well from which everything you need is drawn. I am all of that because I love you so much. One day, I will be able to show you the full extent of my love. Right now, it would overwhelm you. You could not even fathom it. Know for now that my love is greater for you than you can ever imagine.
My purpose and my plan for your life are intact and will take you places you can't yet imagine. You are my butterfly ready to leave the cocoon and fly free and beautiful.
My prayer:
Awesome God. Why is it that one of the most stressful times of year is when we are celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace?
I am struggling with stress like I haven't in a long time and I am not sure what to do. The usual helpful tools (exercise, prayer, rest) are not helping enough. They are all good for short periods of relief, but then I am right back to being totally stressed out and letting stupid things bother me.
God, I need your peace to cover me. I need your peace that goes beyond anything that makes sense to take over my mind, my emotions, and my soul. God, fill me with your peace.
I know you are going to take care of everything anyway, what do I have to stress about? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. My heart knows that. I just need it to tell my brain and my emotions who can in turn reshape my attitude.
I am done being stressed out. With your help God, I am done being stressed out. I love you God. Thanks for listening. What is on your mind?
What God Said Tonight:
Turn off the TV, the phone, the computer and spend more time in my presence. We are doing a lot right now. It is good. It is what I have always wanted to do with you; but, it will take a lot. If you are not spending enough time in my presence, if you are not spending enough time refilling with me, you will burn out.
With all the demands of every day, find more time to spend with just me. Nothing but my presence. I will take your stress. I will give you peace. I will fill you with everything you need.
Stop looking around and look at me. Stop trying to see the next thing that is coming and look at me. I promise I won't let you get blindsided. I have my eyes and ears on it all and I will let you know when you need to move and when you need to stand.
We are about to go to another level, more new things. To get there, you need more of me in you. Stay still and let me give you what you need. I am your God and your Lord and I have everything that you need. Trust me, relax in me, shut off the world for awhile each day and let me be your recharger. I love you so much. This too will pass my dear.
