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:
My God, today has fully convinced me that I do not have the strength, wisdom or ability to fight this battle and I humbly and completely surrender to you. With everything I am and in every way I know how, I surrender.
What God Said Tonight:
Now it is my turn. Sit back and watch me fight and win for you my daughter. Now I can step in. I can't step into the situation until you move out of the way. But now, Now I can fight with a vengeance. Now I can redeem my child. Now I can defend you fully.
Your surrender has not placed you in a place of weakness. It has placed you in a position of strength. Leave the battle with me. I will win for you.
My prayer:
What an amazing day and what an amazing night my God! Thank you for the revelational wisdom tonight and the many breakthroughs. I am all yours God. Every part of me. I am your willing vessel and servant. I am ready and willing for anything you want to do. God, let your power and your will reign on earth!
What God Said Tonight:
The battle is not over but the battle is not yours to fight. Stand protected and let me fight this one. Give in and accept that you are not strong enough or tough enough for this battle.
It is ok. I don't need you to fight it. I need you to give in to me and let me fight it for you. Humble yourself and admit that you don't have the answers or the power to fight this one. When you do, I will fight it for you. When you stop trying to figure it out, I will take care of it. As long as you are trying to reason it out, you hold on to the idea that you have some control, some power.
Your only power is in me. I need you to understand that now more than ever. Our next season will need you to rely fully on my power. You will not have the strength and power you need outside of me for this next season.
So, give this to me. Release it in all humility and I will take care of it. It will be something you can point to in the next season to remind you of where your power comes from.
I love you daughter. I don't tell you this to break you down. I tell you this to lift you up. When you give in to me, it gives me the freedom to lift you up. You will be victorious but only when you surrender it all to me. I am all yours my wonderful daughter.
My prayer:
My amazing God! You bless, you heal, you guide, you teach, you love...you do it all. Thank you God for being you. That is really all I have to say tonight. I just want you to know that I appreciate you and all that you do. I know it is more than I can truly comprehend, but even the stuff that is beyond my ability to understand, I appreciate God. I love you so much and I am so grateful for you.
What God Said Tonight:
I have so much more for you. I have lands and landscapes for you. I want to give you all that you can see. Look out at the horizon. I want to give it all to you.
I have so much for you. I have prepared you for so much. I am ready but are you? Are you ready to believe that truly ALL things are possible? Are you ready to obey me in all circumstances, no matter how crazy it might sound at the time? Are you ready to trust me with everything? I trust you.
I want to see you with the very desires of your heart. Are you ready? I am ready. The time is here and the waiting is over. the preparation is complete. The time is here to receive. Are you ready? We are going to see such great things together!
My prayer:
Awesome God. I have been awfully busy doing stuff lately and I think I may have lost the big picture view. I think I may have lost track of the big dreams and big ideas of what you can really do.
I have been saying, "God, whatever your will", which is not bad but sometimes I think I say that so I won't get my hopes up for what I want. It is easier to not dream for big things than it is to be disappointed. And, the fact is, you have given me an amazing life. It almost feels greedy to ask for more.
But a life without dreams is boring and quickly becomes dull. Shouldn't there be a middle ground? God help me to find the balance between obedience to your will and dreaming big for my future.
What God Said Tonight:
Balance? Have I ever asked you to be balanced in your dreams? Have I ever told you to think smaller? Have I ever told you not to dream? No, I love it when you dream big. No matter how big you dream, my dream for you is even bigger.
Dream as big as you can, keeping your heart in alignment with mine and I will see you blessed beyond your belief. I will see you blessed abundantly. I will see your dreams are fulfilled.
I love you daughter and I want you to have everything that you can dream. Your heart, your mind, is connected to me and your dreams are my dreams. My dreams are your dreams. I will tell you if you get off track. I won't let you wander away. I love you too much. But, let's do something big and wonderful together.
Dream it and you can do it. Dream it and I will bring it to you. I love you daughter. DREAM BIG!
My prayer:
All knowing God. I seem to be in the position lately to observe how seemingly small decisions, or even large decisions, can have such significant effects on people futures. Since I seem to be noticing it so much, I assume there is something I should be learning here.
Just today, I saw someone potentially lose out on a great opportunity because she procrastinated by one day. That one day may make all the difference because someone else, who did not procrastinate, stepped in and will likely get the opportunity instead. She may never know how close she was to her blessing.
How often have I done that God? How often have I been one step away from a blessing that you have for me but, because I procrastinated or made the wrong choice, I lost out? It makes me realize how important every decision we make (and the ones we don't make or put off) are.
All knowing God, help me to make good decisions in time to receive everything you have for me. Thank you!
What God Said Tonight:
Focusing on what you don't have or on the blessings you missed will bring you nothing but misery and regret. Make the best choices you know how to make and trust me to bless you. Trust me to bless you out of my love for you, not because of anything you do or don't do. If you are following my lead, you will always be inn the right place at the right time.
Instead of focusing on the things that you may have missed, spend more time focusing on all of the blessings that you have. Focus more on all of the wonderful blessings that make up your life. Thinking on good things will lift your spirit and encourage you. Focusing on the good will make each day better than the last. Focusing on the good will make the good grow until you can't imagine any lack.
I am the giver of good gifts. Turn your head and look at what you have, not what you lack. I love you and I will bless you all of the days of your life. I will cause you to succeed. I will make sure that everything you do will prosper because you have my heart and I live in you. Love you.
My prayer:
My God of hope. Today, discouragement came at me from every direction; but, because you are my hope, I did not get discouraged. Because you are my hope, I was able to encourage the people around me. There is such amazing peace when I know that you are in charge and that you will take care of me no matter what. Forgive me for all the times that I have forgotten that Lord.
What God Said Tonight:
There is a fire coming that will consume everything that is not pure and not of me. There is a Holy Spirit fire that is going to fuel and encourage those who have a heart for me and will chase off all of those who don't. It is time to make a choice. It is time to start choosing sides for the battle to come.
Will you choose life? Will you choose me? It will not always be easy but it will always be best. I will always provide for you. I will always be your hope.
In the middle of battle, I am your hope. In the middle of what appears to be failure, I am your hope. In the middle of disaster, I am your hope. Remember Shadrach, Mishach and Abendego in the midst of the fire? I am even your hope in the middle of the fire. I love you daughter. Continue to find your hope in me.
My prayer:
My awesome Lord. I am not sure how to talk about what is on my mind tonight. I have been thinking a lot about life today. Thinking about how short this life really is, even when we live out all of our days, it is still short.
Then I got to thinking about how this life may be more important to people who don't have the confidence of living through eternity with you. If I thought that this is all there is, I might be a bit more intense and worry more. But, when I look at this life, the only thing that I can think of that I can only do while I am here, that I cant do when I live forever with you is that now, in this life, I can share you with people who don't know you yet. When I am living forever in heaven with you, everybody will know you already.
Just thinking...Love you Daddy!
What God Said Tonight:
Live your life to the fullest. I have provided an abundance for you in this life. Eat well, sing often, laugh even more often. Spend every moment in my presence. Love the people around you.
There is much for you in this life. I gave you life and it is good. The challenges in your life will only make you stronger. The blessings in your life will engulf you. The joy that I have for you is bubbling up and will overflow in your life.
Heaven is wonderful. Our future together is fantastic. But, please don't fail to enjoy the life that you are in right now. Please don't think that because it is not "heaven" that it doesn't matter.
Stop waiting for tomorrow and do it today. That thing you have been putting off until tomorrow, do it now. I will bless it and you. I want you to have the best life. I want you to have a life that you can look back on and think, that was good. Your eternity with me will come, but let's not rush it. Enjoy today. Today is good. I love you daughter.
