Love and sacrifice...

My prayer:
Awesome God. Today was so full, I am not sure what to talk about tonight. There were some great moments, there were some tragic moments, there were some confusing moments, there were some mundane moments...today kind of had it all! 


But at the end of it all, at the end of each day, I get to settle in with you and talk, listen, laugh, and cry. That is pretty awesome. I can't believe it sometimes, that the God of all creation, the one who made and purposed everything that is, is someone that I get to have a relationship with. That I get to talk to you and know that you hear me. That I get to hear from you. That I get to spend the rest of my life and after life getting to know you better. It is wonderful, but also seems kind of crazy when I sit back and really thing about it. 


How could you love us so much to sacrifice everything just so we could know you? We, I , am not that lovable God.


I am grateful for all that you are and all that you do God. I remain in awe of you.

What God Said Tonight:
How could I not love you? I made you. I fashioned you. I conceived of you and built all that you see, just for you. 


Life is a precious gift for my children. Salvation is a second gift that makes the first gift go on for eternity. 


I love you daughter. No matter where you are or what you do because you are mine. I made you, I live in you, I know you, and I love you. My authority in your life is sovereign because you choose me. You will never be sorry for that choice. 


I love you and there is no sacrifice too big for you. 

Get closer...

My prayer:

Amazing God, your grace and your mercy are so WONDERFUL!!! I can not thank you enough for saving my friends' home today!! You are so awesome. It looked so hopeless but we put our hope in you and you gave them favor in a hopeless situation. 

I love that I get to call on you, the Most High, All Powerful, All Knowing God when me or when people I love are in trouble. I love that in situations where there is nothing I can do, You can always turn it around and take care of everything. 

Thank you God for what you did. Thank you for the testimony it is. Thank you God for the reminder to me that the best possible help I can give in the "hopeless" situation is to call on you. I LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

The only time a situation is hopeless is when I am not in it. I am your hope. I am your answer. I am your strong tower that you can run to in times of trouble. 

The thing is, the closer we are everyday, the easier it is to get to me when you need me in times of trouble. I hear every prayer that is ever made to me. But, for those who know me, those who understand my will, those who talk to me every day and every night, for those people, it is so much easier for them to call on me and for me to answer quickly in times of trouble. 

When you know me, you already know what my will in any situation will be. Then when you pray in agreement with that will, there is nothing I won't give you. 

Know me better so that no amount of tragedy can surprise you. Know me better so you will always have the answer. Know me better so you can turn to me in times of trouble and immediately find me. 

I love you daughter. I want to help you in every situation. I want to give you the blessed life I have intended for you since the dawn of time. Know, me, know my will and you will always have hope.

TRUTH...

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. 

Filled up and ready...

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.

Forgetting...

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.

Wise surprises...

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.

Peace like snow...

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.
