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:
Incredible God! Thank you for the fresh revelation of what my life is with you compared to what it would be without you tonight. You take such great care of me and bless me so much, it is easy to get complacent and forget how incredible it really is!!
God I celebrate you tonight. I give you every bit of gratefulness that is in me. I thank you with everything I have and everything I am. You are INCREDIBLE!
I get to live out my dreams, safe, provided for and redeemed because you love me. Thank you God for giving me so much more than I could ever deserve. I LOVE YOU!
What God Said Tonight:
You have what you have because I love you and because you were open to receive it. I have so much for you but I can only give you what you are willing to receive.
Somehow, I need to break off that idea that you have to earn things from me. You continue to get stuck in the idea that you have to earn my blessings and you have to earn my love.
You have my love, now and forever and there is nothing you can do that will make me love you more or make me love you less. NOTHING. I love the soul of you. I love you because you are a part of me. I am going to bless you because I can't help myself. I am going to bless you because I have to show my love to you. Love needs action just like faith needs action to be worth anything.
My blessings are all yours and waiting for you. The more you open up and are willing to receive my blessing, regardless of what you do or do not deserve, the more I can bless you. Your blessing is not about your performance It is all about my love for you. Open up and receive a blessing you can not contain. I am getting ready to pour...
My prayer:
You are so wonderful God!!! That's it really. You are wonderful and I love you and you take care of everything and you are so wonderful!!
Today was crazy busy but so much fun. It was fantastic to watch you line everything up for me, showing me each thing to do as it needed to be done. Then you covered it all with your favor! Everything I am, everything I have done, and everything good in me is only because of you God and because you are so wonderful! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
What God Said Tonight:
I love you too and I love to take care of you. I love it when you trust me. I love it when you believe me that I will work everything out even when it doesn't look good. I love when you see impossible situations as opportunities for me to work. I love it when you lead with your faith and not your fear. I love it when you remember what you know, what I have taught you and you don't listen to what the enemy (who only wants to see you destroyed) is saying to you. I love it.
Everything I tell you, everything I teach you is for tomorrow as well as for today. Everything I teach you is for others as well as yourself. Everything you learn should be something that you are teaching to people around you. Not shoving it down their throats in a judgmental way, which happens way too often, but teaching them by example and teaching them in love.
Everything in you and in your life is not just for you. It is for every person that you touch. It is for every person in your realm of influence. That is the only way that we will get this message out to the entire world and have the gospel preached in every nation.
Remember what you know, live it everyday and teach to everyone you know. Thanks!
My prayer:
What a wonderful day God of you working everything out! Thank you for taking care of so many worries today and reminding me in action of what you said last night. You really do have it all under control!
God, there are some lessons, like this one, that I seem to have to learn over and over. That must get really frustrating for you? Thank you for your infinite patience with me. I am awfully glad that I am redeemed in the blood of Jesus. I am pretty sure that if I had lived in the Old Testament days, I would have been one of those kids that you got completely fed up with.
God, this has been an interesting vacation. I learned a lot, got a lot done; but I am ready to go back to work. That in itself is a miracle! I can't ever remember having a job that I liked well enough that I was excited to go back after vacation! You have given me a pretty amazing life God and i am so grateful!
I ask God, as I go back to work, for your favor on my life. Make me a blessing to the people around me. Make me prosper with that crazy and wonderful favor of yours and let it be a testimony to you and your power. God I love you with all that I am.
What God Said Tonight:
Old things are made new in me. I am bringing a freshness to your life. Things will be the same but they will seem brand new. There will be an excitement renewed and a fresh new sparkle on everything. You will find new joy in old things. You will find new appreciation of people and situations in your life.
This is a season of thanks giving that I am taking you into. Keep your eyes open and your heart open and enjoy the life I have given you. This is a season to celebrate. We are going to shake the dust off and see the world in vibrant fresh color. Fresh anointing, fresh ideas, fresh experience. You will see the world with the eyes of a child and renew your awe.
I love you daughter. This season is my gift to you.
My prayer:
My God, you are my strength, my hope, my health, my provision, and my redeemer. You are the reason to get up every day.
Sometimes I get really anxious to be with you in heaven. When I look around me, I can get discouraged and think of how wonderful it will be in heaven where I get to worship you 24/7 without satan and his nastiness trying to distract and take me down useless paths of thought. I guess that is the point though, it happens when I look around me instead of looking at you. Whenever I am focused on you and what you do, I am encouraged and excited and can't wait to see what is next. Whenever I lose that focus on you and start looking at the world around me, I get discouraged. Sounds like I need to spend more time looking at you. But, does that mean I am ignoring "reality?" Does that mean that I am ignoring things that are right in front of my face that need to be dealt with? I don't know God, my thoughts are kind of running in circles tonight.
Fact is, today was a great day. Fact is, in the midst of chaos, you always bring me peace. Fact is, no matter how bad things look, you always find a way to work them out. I love you God and I am making a choice to lay worry at your feet tonight. I am making a choice to lay every last thing that is outside of your will for us at your feet God. Let me know if there is anything you want me to do about them; but, in the meantime, I am leaving them with you. I love you so much. Thank you for always taking care of me and for always listening.
What God Said Tonight:
Is there anything to big for me? Remember when I first said that? It was to Mary when she questioned how she could be pregnant when she had never been with a man. It is as true today as it was then. There are no problems to big for me to handle and there is nothing that I can't make a way out of for you.
I love you sweet daughter and I want you to keep your focus on me. That does not mean that you ignore the problems around you. It just means that you bring them to me and let me guide and direct you on how to handle them; on what to do and sometimes, more importantly, what not to do.
You know why I said "Don't fear" so many times in the Bible? I knew that fear and worry would be a daily battle for my kids. There is a part of you that knows that the world as it is right now isn't right, it isn't what I planned. Some part of you deep down knows that there is something dreadfully wrong and it leaves you feeling uneasy, worried, and in fear. The root of that idea is true, things are not how I would have like them to be. Accept that and then realize that I still have it all under control. Recognize that the worry and fear come from a real place but because you are covered by me, because you are mine, you don't need to hold on to the worry. You don't have to fear. I will take care of it all. I will take care of you.
Don't let the day to day hassles and the circumstances in your life throw you off tract. Trust in my ability and willingness to take care of you. I am your Father and I love you more than anything. Rest tonight in the peace of knowing that I am not sleeping and that I am taking care of everything.
My prayer:
Awesome God, what a great year this was!!! This truly was the best year of my life so far and I am so grateful for all that you did. There were struggles and trouble, absolutely. But you took care of everything. You provided in every situation. You taught me each day. You showed me each day how to live closer to you.
God, I want to apologize for any times this year when I lost sight of how amazing you are. Any times when I was ungrateful. God you are so perfect and I am not perfect. Thank you for loving me anyway. Thank you for prospering me everywhere that I went this year. Thank you for healing so many people this year! You let me witness and be a part of hundreds of miracle healings! You know how much I love it when you do that!!
Then there was the start of 24/7 Lighthouse Ministries. That was a surprise! I love what you are doing with that and can't wait to see what you do in 2012. Thank you for amazing friends and family. Thank you for reminding me how precious and important they are.
Amazing God, it seems like each year gets better with you. 2012 should be beyond amazing!! I love you so much!!
What God Said Tonight:
2011 was about building. 2010 was about laying the foundation and this last year has been about building on that foundation. You have followed my lead and that has made things possible that would have been impossible otherwise.
In 2012, you are going to see multiplication. You are going to see the spreading of my word and my message like never before. I am not messing around any more. Time is short and we have to get the word out. We have to make sure that every person has a chance to make a real decision. It is time to take off the veils and the scales that have blinded and blocked people from seeing me. It is time that my blessings be poured out and multiplied on my children.
This year will be a year of hard work, but a year of celebration as well. You will see expansion and multiplication like you have never seen before. Be ready. I love you daughter and I am excited. You are going to love this year!
My prayer:
My precious Lord. Today was really good. Thank you for help in getting everything done with time to spare. I feel like a great weight has been lifted.
God, I am not sure what to talk about tonight. There are plenty of thoughts going through my mind, but nothing really worth exploring or talking about. You already heard the prayers for healing for "A" and "D" and I believe you are already taking care of those.
You know and supply my every need. So...huh, I really am out of words and you know that doesn't happen often! What is on your mind? I am sure it is more interesting than my babble anyway. I love you God and am so grateful that I get to know you personally!
What God Said Tonight:
There are places that in the past I have told you not to go to for your own protection. I am about to ask you to go into those places. I have prepared and covered you and you will not be harmed; but, I need you to go into some dark places and bring my light. There are people hurting in the dark places of the world that need my light, my love, my healing.
You will need to trust me completely as you go. You will have to let me shine through you so brightly that the darkness cannot stay when you come in. You will need to radiate me like never before. I promise I will protect you but I need you to go. I will tell you where and when.
Do not be afraid of it. There was a special time and place for these things and it is now and here. The darkness will not overcome the light. The light will vanquish the darkness. It will eliminate the darkness. You will be that light and the seed of faith that they need to see so they can believe again. This is hard duty but I promise you will be well rewarded.
I love you daughter. Wait for my direction but it will be happening before you know it. I am yours and you are mine forever.
My prayer:
Awesome God, your presence is so thick tonight. I don't want to get in the way. Have your way, the floor is yours.
What God Said Tonight:
I am going to talk to you in a new way. I am going to show you some new things. I am going to remind you of all that you know and teach you the next thing. I am going to do this all because I love you and because I have a plan for your life.
I have not forgotten you. I have not left you. I am with you always and I have never left. Lay your head on my chest and let me comfort you. Rest in my embrace and let me heal you. Keep your mind focused on me and let me bring order and peace to your thoughts.
The status quo is over. "Things as usual" is about to have no meaning. But you won't walk in this new season and these new experiences alone. I will be with you every step of the way. Lean on me, let me lead you, let me tell you about this new landscape and prepare you for each step. You are ready for this. I have prepared you but it will require complete reliance on me. I love you now and forever.
