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:
All knowing God. I watched a dear friend make a life changing decision today based on what she fully believed to be truth. The thing is, while it may have been her experience of the truth, when I look at the situation from a different angle, I see a different truth.
So, was her decision the right thing for her to do? If she had been able to look at the situation the way that I saw it, would it have changed her mind?
It makes me wonder how many times I was convinced that what I knew was the TRUTH; but, in reality, was just my view of the thing. Is there any truth outside of the truth of you God? Or, is everything else just people's opinions and viewpoints? I am not sure.
What I am sure of is that my friend needs you more than ever now. Please take care of her God. She is your daughter and she loves you. Guide her and direct her. Please make a way out of no way for her. I love you Father, now that is TRUTH!
What God Said Tonight:
Truth, real truth does not change. Real truth is true no matter the circumstances around it. Real truth comes from me and from my word. I am the truth that you seek. All other information, outside of me is up for interpretation.
People experience this life differently. They learn at different rates. They have different experiences. You make the best decisions you know how, based on what you know. When you know more, you make better decisions. When you know me more, you know TRUTH and you make the best decisions.
Base your life on the truth that I am and you will see a great and mighty future. Base your life on the changing truth of everyday life and you are building on shifting sands that will never withstand a storm. I am your firm foundation. I am your TRUTH.
I love you daughter and I will take care of all of my children each day giving them all that they need.
My prayer:
What a great day God! You inspired me, you healed and restored my knees, you gave me rest and restoration, you gave me time to have fun, I feel kind of spoiled God. Thank you God! What can I do for you? How can I give back to you? How can i spoil you? I love you God.
What God Said Tonight:
I have waited a long time for this moment and this season. I needed you to be rested because we are about to see and do things together that are going to take all of your effort and energy. You will need your reserves full.
That is what this weekend was about. That is what the last month has been about. I need your spiritual reserves nice and full for this next season. It will be a lot of work but it will be full of joy. You will be amazed and filled with my joy throughout.
You will never question again if your life has meaning. You, my daughter are about to see the miraculous in your back yard. You are about to see the multiplication that we talked about at the beginning of the year. You are about to see and do things that you haven't even dreamed about.
You know that I work in seasons. The season for storing up and filling up is over. You are about to enter a season of pouring out. You will love it. I love you and can't wait to show you this next season.
My prayer:
My precious God. I almost forgot for a minute tonight God. I almost forgot how wonderful you are. For a minute, I wondered if it was all worth it. I wondered if it really mattered, if I served you or not. I wondered if my life mattered. For a minute I forgot how amazing your presence and your word is.
I don't know how that is possible. I don't know how I can forget even for a second, but sometimes I do.
Thank you God for reminding me. Thank you that all it took was reading one bit of your word to remember how alive and fresh your word is. You gave me just what I needed at just the time that I needed it, like you always do.
God, please forgive me for forgetting, even for a moment. You are wondrous and my life could have no greater purpose than to serve you.
What God Said Tonight:
My children have poor memories. You always have. It doesn't really matter how many times you forget, as long as you remember at least one more time than you forget.
I am always here for you. I am only a word, a prayer a thought away. I am in you so you can reach me any time that you want.
The thing is, i don't need you to remember me for my sake. I am all, I am whole on my own. But I need you to remember me for your sake. You can't live the miraculous life that I have for you unless you are focused on me. You cannot see all that I want you to see if you don't remember me and focus on me. It is when you are remembering me, putting me first, loving me, that you are in position to receive every blessing that I have.
I love you daughter, always and I will never forget you, even for a moment. Keep me in your rememberance tonight and always. Let me be your strong tower, your fortress against attacks. Let me be your protection and your guide. Let me be your everything. I love you.
My prayer:
Nothing about today was what I expected God; but, that is part of what living life for you is about. You delight me with your surprises!
I thank you God for your will being accomplished here on earth. God, I pray and hope that I remain open to your plans. It is so easy for me to get caught up in my plans and thinking that I know the right way, the right things to happen next. fact is, I don't know what needs to happen next.
Thank you God for always giving me what I need most, even when that thing is not what I think I want. Thank you for your wisdom.
What God Said Tonight:
If you knew what was best all the time, you wouldn't need me. You don't have all of the information to know what is the best way. You don't see what I see and you don't know what I know.
I see the end from the beginning. I am the alpha and the omega. I am everywhere all the time and I am all knowing. Rely on me to always know what is best. Lean on me to know the best and right way of things.
I will walk through hell for you...I already have. I will give my life for you, I already have. I will give my all for you because you are my all. I love you and you become a clearer reflection of me daily just as I planned. Rest well. We have more surprises tomorrow.
My prayer:
My God, your Spirit is sweet here tonight. There is a simple, uncomplicated, and pure presence of you in this place tonight. You are so beautiful. Just you. No pomp and circumstance. No religion, no stained glass, just you. You are SO BEAUTIFUL.
My God I worship you. I trust that you always know best. I trust your will for me. I trust your plan. I am all yours God. Let me hear your precious voice tonight.
What God Said Tonight:
The atmosphere is suffused with peace. I am blanketing you with peace in the spirit, just as I am blanketing the city in snow tonight. I am covering you with a peace that will cover you and slowly melt into you, providing lasting nourishment for your soul.
I am giving you my peace that passes all understanding. I am covering you so that worry is smothered to death and hope is given fertile ground to grow in. I am your hope. I am your peace. I am your everything and I will take care of you always.
I love you and will not see you tormented. I will not see you suffering for long. I will always rescue you. I love you my sweet child.
My prayer:
Awesome teacher. Lot's of messages on humility these days and they just keep coming.
I am starting to see more and more the areas of pride and the ugliness they cause in me and in my life God. I don't like that in me. Everything to do with pride like unforgiveness, control issues, always having to be right, everything is so ugly and destructive.
God, I thank you for the lessons and for the insight. I pray and ask that you help me to get free of pride and its negative partners. Help me God to live a life of humility, more focused on others, more focused on loving others than on being "right." Help me to be more like you Jesus.
What God Said Tonight:
Trying to not be prideful is kind of like trying not to think about the white elephant that is in the middle of the room. It is not really possible.
What is possible is to think on good things, things that get you closer to me. Things that focus your thinking on my kingdom, my will, and what I want to do. When you see your self as a member of my royal family, you don't have to prove yourself anymore. You don't have to worry about status or what you have. You are a king's kid and you have everything you will ever want. You have an inheritance that is bigger and better than any will ever written.
You have these things, not due to your actions but due to my love. It is not about you but it is about who you are in relation to me. As my child, you have it all; but, because you did not earn any of it, you cannot boast in it. Or, you should not boast in it.
My kids are all very talented. I have gifted my kids with amazing capabilities. When you use you gifts for my Kingdom, good things grow. When you use my gifts to advance yourself, rot and mildew grow. In time, they will destroy the gift.
Protect your gifts, keep focused on me, and remember, you don't get what you deserve, thankfully. I love you daughter. Rest well tonight,
My prayer:
My God your blessings are overwhelming!!! I cannot believe...well let me rephrase, I am amazed at what you did today. You keep multiplying my blessings! You keep multiplying the opportunities. You keep multiplying God and IT IS AWESOME!!!
I did not know, did not believe that life could be this good. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for making this life possible.
God, I pray that my life is pleasing to you. I pray that I bless you at least a little. I pray that you get at least a measure of the joy you pour out on me. LOVE YOU!!!!
What God Said Tonight:
Chains of light. That is what my kids are.
You, are a great reflection of my light. Everywhere you go, the darkness is illuminated by the light of me reflected off off you. But your one light, your one reflection is not enough to do what I need to do now. I need you to link up with your brothers and sisters. I need you to be a chain of light that canvasses the entire earth. Decorate the world with the chain of light. Cover every corner with my light.
Link up and shine.
