A true love story...

My prayer:

Thank you God for today which was wonderful! Thank you even more for tonight which was incredible. Thank you God for people and a life that matters. Thank you God for the sacrifice that you made so I could know you and live the life you hoped for me instead of the life I deserve. Thank you God for...well for everything! I LOVE YOU! I APPRECIATE YOU!! I ADORE YOU!!! 

I pray God that this weekend, our worship, our praise, our outreach, is pleasing to you. I pray God that it blesses you. I pray God that we make you smile.

What God Said Tonight:

Come here and climb into my lab. I am waiting for you and I want to love on you. I want you to feel my love. You hear about my love and you see my love sometimes but right now I want you to feel it. 

I want you to understand that my love for you is stronger than anything else in the world, in the universe. I want you to understand that nothing will ever break my love for you. I want you to understand that my love is more constant than the sun and will never leave you. 

I love you and I will love you until they haul me away; but, even that won't diminish my love for you. I will love you when they beat me and my love is not diminished. I love you while they kill me and my love is not diminished. I love you when they bury me and my love is not diminished I love you when I return and it is not diminished one bit. 

My love for you will grow indefinitely. My love for you will never end. Rest you heart with me. My love is not diminished. Sleep in peace,

Go...

My prayer:

I worship you, my God. I praise your holy name. I stand in awe of who you are and of all you do for me. I worship you oh God. I praise your holy name. I live to feel your presence and to hear you say my name. I worship you my God. I praise your holy name. You are my everything. You are my wondrous king. I worship oh God, each and every day. I praise your holy name.

What God Said Tonight:

I have such great treasure for you my daughter. You have only seen the beginning of what I have for you. 

You are focused and listening to me again and now we can move forward. Now we can go to the next new thing. Now we can go to the next level. 

I know the transition was tough. It always is. But now, like every time before, I have brought you through and it is time to build again It is time to create again. It is time to move again. 

You are about to have ideas and plans and desires filling your heart again. Know that they are from me and that I will bless then as you step out in faith. Go my daughter. Go forward and I will go with you.

God's driving...

My prayer:

Seems like it is transition time again God. Always exciting but never comfortable. Things are harder during transition but that isn't always a bad thing. One thing I like about transition times is they make me take a look at all area of my life and consider what things don't fit anymore. I think I need to do that, really spend some time and do that 

God, I pray and ask for wisdom in this process and throughout this transition. Take me God wherever you want me to go. I love you and trust you with everything I am.

What God Said Tonight:

Transition is easy if you trust and follow me. Relax and follow me. Don't try to force your own path. 

I know where we are going, follow me. You don't know where we are going so stop trying to lead and just follow. I know you like to lead. I know you like to run the steering wheel. But, since you don't know where we are going, that will just get us lost. 

Scoot over and let me steer. We will get there a whole lot faster and a whole lot easier. I love you daughter and have great things for you, as soon as you let me drive.

Who am I ...really...

My prayer:

My awesome God. Today was better God. I tried to change my focus and it was better. What a privilege it is to be your hands and feet on this earth God. What a privilege it is to know you! 

You are kind of addicting. The more I know you the more I want to know. The closer we get, the closer I want to be to you. And, then, if I ever feel farther away from you, I go into withdrawal. 

Dearest God, I am probably the most imperfect person on the earth but you found something in me worth loving. Thank you for looking deep enough to find and thank you for loving me!

What God Said Tonight:

I didn't have to look too deep. I only had to look to your heart. 

You are my precious child and creation. You are made in my image. You are a Royal Priesthood and a Holy nation. You are a child of God. Who wouldn't love that? 

Beyond that, you are uniquely you. You are every unique attribute that I fashioned together since the beginning of time to have you here, now, for this time and for this purpose. You are perfectly and wonderfully made and you are made for a purpose. My purpose and my plan for you and your life will be accomplished. I will see you seated in high places I will see you succeed. And, I will guide you all the days of your life. 

I love you with a passion that burns forever. I love you with a power that eclipses all other powers. I love you becauase you are mine. Rest in my love tonight Know that you will never have to question it. My promises are forever.

Disappointing God...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I can't seem to shake the feeling that you are mad at me God, that I am disappointing you. Now, I know better. I know that I am covered in the blood. I know that you have forgiven my sin. I know that guilt does not come from you. But, I have this nagging feeling that something is wrong. That I have done something or not done something. It is dogging me and I am not sure what to do. I feel like it is creating distance between us and I HATE that.

Awesome God, please let me know what is going on and what, if anything I should do. I need wisdom and understanding. I need to know where this is coming from and if there is any validity. 

I know very well that I am NOT perfect and that you don't require me to be. But, if there is anything that I am doing that is causing distance between us, please get rid of it or show me how to get rid of it. You are my everything.

What God Said Tonight:

There is no distance between you and me. I am in you and you are in me. We are one in unity. But, the distance you feel is related to your focus. Your main focus has not been on me lately I am not the thing that your mind consistently returns to. I am not what is keeping you up at night. You are not focused on strategizing the next thing that we will do together.That is why you are feeling distance. 

Refocus and remember the bigger plan. Work, is important but I am more important. People are important, but I am more important. Even dreams are important, but I am more important. 

Keep your mind STAYED on me. That is, don't let it wander. Keep me first and everything else will fall into place. You don't have to strategize in your work if you are focused on me. I will work everything else out in your life when you focus on me. Remember your priorities an I will remember you, always.

Eyes wide open...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for today and for all of the reminders about what is good in this world. Thank you for the beauty of the mountains. Thank you for physical strength to enjoy them. Thank you for good food, good books, good people and everything else. I needed that. I needed to be reminded that there is still good and joy and beauty in this world. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

You are surrounded by beauty all of the time; but, when you stop looking at the ugliness around you, you also stop seeing the beauty. 

I want you to live this life with your eyes wide open. I want you to see and experience all there is. I want you to lean on my strength and protection when you see the hard things and I want you to rejoice and share with me when you see the good.

Don't go through life with blinders on. Have the courage to look and to see everything around you. I am your God and I will keep you safe. I love you more than I loved my life, that is why I gave it up for you.

How much longer...

My prayer:

My God. My heart is hurting tonight. I am tired of closing my eyes to the things that seem too rotten for me to do anything about. There is so much ugliness in this world today God and I don't know what I can do but I can't ignore it anymore. 

God, there are wonderful people with no place to live and no food to eat. There are people who are dying for what they believe in. There are people who are dying for no reason at all. There are people being abused. There are animals being abused. Sin is running rampant throughout the world and it has to stop. 

How much more God? How much longer until Armageddon, the rapture, the new heaven and the new earth? How much worse does it have to get? And, what more can I do in the meantime? 

I love you God and I am tried of seeing the world you created and your people being destroyed.

What God Said Tonight:

You think you are tired of it? Please believe that I will end it all at the very soonest moment I can. There is a divine purpose and divine timing in this. 

There is still much to do. There are still people who haven't had the chance to know me. I can't end this until every last person has had a chance. I can't stand to lose even one of my children. You are all so precious to me. Ending it before every last person has had a chance would be like tearing out my heart and leaving it behind. I simply can't do it. 

I promise I will not tarry any longer than is absolutely necessary. I promise I will keep you and protect you  all the days of your life. I promise I will guide and direct you in each and every part of your life. 

I have assignments for you. But, you also know that I will bless anything you do in my name. So, if you want to help more, go and help more. If you want to pray and ask me to help people, then do that. But whatever you do in my name, I will bless. I can promise you that. 

My love for you is great and I will not see you thrown away.
