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 God. Today has been good but also threaded throughout the day has been a struggle with temptation. All day long, I have been tempted with thoughts and things that I usually have a pretty good handle on.
I don't know why today was different. I found myself thinking, "Well, it wouldn't be so bad if I did it just once...would it?" It has been a long time since I have lied to myself like that God. I know God that all sin is sin and you hate it. I know that anything that takes me from you is sin and I need to run from it. I don't know why I forgot that a few times today.
I pray God that you help me be strong. I pray God that you help me resist the devil. I pray God that you lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil. Help me God to live a life that is a blessing to you and to those around me. In Jesus name, amen.
What God Said Tonight:
Our enemy is against you and trying to get you off tract because he knows what is in your future. He is panicking and desperately trying to get you off of the path that I have for you. He is pulling out all the stops and will stop at nothing to keep you from the destiny that I have for you. He hates you and hates your future. He hates what you life is going to do for my Kingdom. He hates the vision and the plan that I have given you.
Today was a day of temptation and of tests. You did not act and you eventuallly took each thought captive. I will help you fight. I will keep you strong. I need you to keep your eyes on me with out fail. I need you to focus on me and not on the temptations around you. I need your attention if you are going to get through this season unscathed.
I love you daughter and I am here for you. You are not alone and you will not fight this battle alone. He is already defeated and you know who wins. Remember that no matter how good you think that temptation is going to be, it will never be worth the cost. Never.
My prayer:
Amazing Prayer and Worship group tonight God! Thank you so much for the incredible people you have brought into my life. Thank you that you are pouring out your gifts on their lives. Thank you that you are maturing all of us in our faith in you. Thank you God that every time we get together and worship you, you show up and do something amazing! It is so wonderful and so easy. Worship and focus on you and watch the atmosphere change.
I love you God and I love your presence. I pray God that I never spend on fraction of a second without your presence in my life. I cannot live without it. I can't live without you.
What God Said Tonight:
I have promises for your life that haven't even been spoken yet. I have blessings that are trying to track you down right now. There are curses that will try to hold you back. I want to see you move forward. I love to see you in your promised land.
I won't just fulfill one promise. I will fulfill every last one. I don't make promises that I cannot keep. Even the ones that you have been waiting a lifetime for. Even those, I will fulfill as long as you don't ever give up. I am the promise giver and the fulfillment of the promise.
I love you more than you will ever know.
My prayer:
Awesome God. I am completely spent. This was an awesome day of you making everything work out for my good and it was a blast but I have nothing left tonight. I gave it all away. So, as I sit here with a silly grin on my face, I wait in anticipation to hear your voice...
What God Said Tonight:
I am speaking softly tonight because the atmosphere is still. There is a hush in the spirit world tonight. All is quiet in preparation. All is quiet in awe and adoration. When it is time, the angels will rise up with a mighty roar and charge out to accomplish their purpose. Some will be fighting, others will be protecting, and still others will take my message throughout the world.
There are more angels than anyone realizes. They are my army and they are my servants. They are wonderful and they are for you. They love you because they love me and I love you. They love to serve because they love me. Some are singers, some play instruments, and others praise me with their actions and obedience.
You are no different. You praise me with your voice, with instruments, and with your actions too. Angels are different from men in other ways but there is no animosity. There is only love.
The spirit world is getting ready for the next battle. Enjoy the peace and the stillness while it lasts. I love you daughter. Go rest and we will start it up again tomorrow.
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.
