Water...

My prayer:
I see a river of pure crystal clear water. I see the bottom of the river bed covered in smooth river rocks. I see the sunlight glinting off of the water and making the stones sparkle. 


Some describe your voice as running waters. Your voice to me has always been a calm sweet voice. It  comes with a complete sense of peace. Not unlike the feeling I have seeing this river in my mind tonight. The water is gently rolling over the stones. It is beautiful and peaceful. Just like you God, beautiful and peaceful. 


I love you God and I praise you. I give you all the glory God because you are glorious. I give you all my praise because you are worthy of praise. I give you all my love because you are love. I give you all of me because you made me and I belong to you. I love you God. Thank you for another wonderful day in your presence.


What God Said Tonight:
I am the living water that sustains you. I am the well that never runs dry. I am sufficient to supply all of your needs. My living water restores. My living water brings life to things that were dead. 


Let my living water roll over you tonight. There are some things that are dead in your life that I want to resurrect tonight. There are some dreams that have died that I want to bring back to life. There are some hopes that you have put away and allowed to wither and die but I am here tonight to bring them back to life. 


Find you hope in me. Remember that all things really are possible with me. I am your God and I love you. I will make sure that every detail of your life is blessed as long as you stick with me. 


Listen to me when there are hundreds of voices round you trying to get you to listen to them. There are many who have a legitimate message of my love. But always listen to me first...and last. I love you my sweet daughter.

Spring...

My prayer:

My Father. I have spent a lot of time talking about me lately. How about I stop talking tonight and just listen? That is what I love to do. To hear you speak to me and to spend time with you, that is the really good stuff.

What God Said Tonight:

Spring is coming daughter. In the natural and in the spiritual world, spring is coming. I know it looks cold, dark, and dead right now, but spring is coming and it will be beautiful beyond your belief. There will be beautiful flowers all around. Everything we be green with new growth. The air will be crisp and the Spirit will be fresh. 

Spring is the time of growth. It is the time for all of those seeds that you have sown to become wheat they were intended to become. The financial seed you have planted is about to come up in a crop for harvest. The time that you have sowed is about to come back in time of leisure and joy. That talent you have sowed is about to become your provision. It is about to multiply back into your life. 

I love you daughter and you will love this Spring. Don't get discouraged now. Not now when we are so close. Rest just a little bit more. Try to be patient. It is worth the wait. 

Strength...

My prayer:
Mighty God. I am simply worn out tonight. It is one of those nights where I wish I could just jump on  a plane and go to some far off island and hide for a day, a week, a month...or longer. 


Life can be overwhelming at times. I love you God and I don't mean to complain, but I am. Maybe it is the weather, can't believe we had more snow! Maybe it is stress. Maybe I just have the wrong attitude tonight. Whatever the cause, I just want to run away, just for awhile. 


Forgive me God for not being stronger. Give me the strength and whatever it is I need to stick to it and do all that you have for me. Let me escape in your arms tonight to strengthen me for tomorrow? Thank you Jesus.


What God Said Tonight:
I am your refuge and your strength. Stop trying to be strong in yourself and rely on my strength. My strength will never run out. 


You are trying to stand too much on your own again. I understand, I made you to be independent and strong; but, your strength will never be enough. Be independent but don't be independent of me. Be strong but don't be strong outside of my strength in you. 


I am everything that you need. I will take you anywhere you want to go but I won't help you run away. I will give you everything you need to stand strong. Just remember it is my strength you are standing in. I am your strong tower and I will never fall. Lean on me for your strength and you will never grow weary. 


I love you daughter and I am with you now and forever. I am your strength and I will never let you down. 

All in...

My prayer:
Mighty and magnificent God. I love you more than I can say. I am devoted to you in a way that I didn't even know was possible. I am all yours now and forever. 


If you can use anyone, use me. If there is any good that can come out of me for you, it is yours. I am all yours, every part of me, every aspect of who I am, every talent I have is yours to do with as you wish. God I pray that I am a blessing to you and to everyone you put in my life. 


What God Said Tonight:
I need all of you. If you are going to be the person that I intended, if you are going to accomplish the things I have for you, if you are going to receive all that I have to give you, I need your all. 


I can't do much when you are only part way in. I can't do much when you silo me into certain parts of your life and keep me out of others. When you try to put me in a box and keep me for Sundays only, it limits what I can do in your life and what I can do for you. It limits my ability to bless you. 


I won't ever invade a part of your life that you have not invited me into. But, that means when you run into trouble in that area, I am not there to bail you out. It means that if I have a blessing for you in that area, I can't get it to you. If you keep me out of your workplace, I can't bless the work of your hands. If you keep me out of your love life, I can't bring you the person I have meant for you and I can't bless that relationship. I can only move and work in the areas of your life that you let me into. 


I promise I will never force my way in; but, when you let me in, I will make everything work out to your good. Let me in. Don't be a half way Christian. Be all the way in so I can bless everything of you.

Constant change...

My prayer:
Awesome God. I feel like I am waiting for something but I don't know what. I feel anxious, on the edge of my seat, and that something is about to happen, but I don't know what. I feel like a change is in the wind but I don't know what it is. Is it a good change? Is it a bad or a hard change? I don't know but I am restless. 


God, I pray that whatever it is, you help me/us through it. I pray that you give us wisdom and favor no matter what comes. Thank you Jesus!


What God Said Tonight:
There are a lot of things that are about to change. There are a lot of things that are changing as we speak. Life is change. If something is not changing, it is not alive. All things that live are in a constant state of change. 


You should not be anxious about change. Once you realize that everything is changing all of the time and once you accept and realize that I will walk you through all of it, there is no reason to be anxious, nervous or worried about change. 


Rest in my arms and I will guide and carry you through the changes. I know every bump in the road and every turn of the path. I know what is at the other end and I am taking you where you need to go. Change is life. Embrace change and embrace life. I love you daughter, now and forever.

Selfish...

My prayer:
My God. I am not sure how to talk about what is on my mind tonight. I guess the theme is selfishness or self centeredness. It is something that seems to come so naturally to us and yet, when I see it in others, it makes me sad (or angry depending on the circumstances). But, I know that it is in me too; when I look at myself honestly, I don't always think of others before myself. I have to consciously choose to do that. My natural tendency is to think of me first. 


So, here is where I am struggling. If I know that about myself and know that it doesn't mean that I don't care about other people, why does it upset me so much when I see it in other people? Why do I take it so personally? 


Huh, as I am typing, it suddenly seems so clear. Being upset about others selfishness and self centeredness is just a reflection of my own selfishness. The reason it upsets me is because they aren't thinking about me! Now, if that isn't the height of selfishness and self centeredness, I don't know what is!


God forgive me of my selfishness and self centeredness. Help me to think more of others than I do of myself. Help me to think of others needs and feelings before my own. Help me to be a better person God.


What God Said Tonight:
Being "othercentered" instead of self centered is a choice and it is a choice that you will need to make daily, hourly, and sometimes each minute. It is one of those things that does not make a lot of sense logically but the more you take care of others and focus  on the needs of others, the more I will take care of your needs. When you take care of the things and the people that  I care about, I will take care of you. I will take care of all of your needs. I will make sure that you have everything you need. 


When you don't have enough, change your view from looking at what you are getting or not getting and focus more on what you are giving. As you give, as you take care of the needs of someone else, I promise I will take care of your needs. I will see that you are well cared for as you care for others. 


I love you daughter and I will always help you when you ask. 

Ultimate matchmaker...

My prayer:
Awesome God. As I was looking for a message today on the 24/7 Lighthouse site, I was struck by all of the amazing things that people are doing for your Kingdom. I look at Heidi Baker, Nick Vujicic, Bill Johnson, Tim Tebow and so many others and I just sit in awe of all that you have accomplished through them. Then, some little part of me started thinking, wow, in comparison, I am not doing much for you. In comparison, I am not doing much at all. Then I started getting depressed, feeling guilty. 


I know this is wrong thinking God. I can almost hear you asking why I am comparing myself to anyone. I know that you gave us each different gifts and abilities and our job is to use what you have given each of us, not envy what you have given others. I know all of that in my head. I just wish I could get it into my heart. 


God, help me to do everything you need me to do with what you have given me. Continue God to bless all of your children, your warriors, who are spreading your love and your truth throughout this world. Help me to remember that it takes all of us, doing what you have for each of us to do, to spread this message.


I love you God. Thank you for what you have given to each of us and the opportunities you give us to use it.


What God Said Tonight:
You preached your ownself happy, didn't you! Thank you daughter for remembering what I have taught you. Thank you for using your mind and your wisdom instead of letting the emotions take you down the wrong road. 


You have been given exactly the gifts and the opportunities I need you to have to accomplish our greater goal. The people that you touch have been specially assigned to you. Take care of the people, the gifts, and the opportunities I give you. 


Every opportunity to touch a life and share me with them is more valuable than all the gold that there is in the world. The people I bring to you are especially suited to hear my message through you. The ones I take to others, are especially suited to receive the message from them. You might say I am the ultimate matchmaker. 


Trust me to to guide and direct you. Trust me to bring you the right opportunities for you. Trust me to know your perfect role in the spreading of my salvation throughout the world. 


Talking and praying with one person in the supermarket is as important and as wonderful as preaching to 1 million at a revival. Any action that results in people coming to me and receiving salvation is important, powerful, and wonderful. 


I love you daughter. Grow where you are planted and know that you are exactly as I hoped you would be from the beginning of time.
