Faithful...

My prayer:

My God. You are so good to me that people would get jealous if they really knew. Your blessings are so amazing. Thank you is a paltry response for all that you have done for me. There are no words that really address what you have done. There are no words for what you do every day. Maybe that's why we, why I, feel the need to do more for you every day. I desperately want you to know how grateful I am and I search daily to find ways to show you. God, today was decadent and wonderful and I want to say, show, and in whatever way I can demonstrate how grateful I am.

What God Said Tonight:

Nothing missing and nothing lacking...true shalom. That is what I desire for you my daughter. There is a place and a purpose on your life that will create my ability to love the world in ways that have not been seen before. I am going to create in you a new way of showing the world my love.

I have seen your faithfulness and I have seen your heart. I don't have any illusions. You are not perfect, except thorough my blood and my sacrifice. But you are faithful to do what I ask you to do, no matter how crazy and I honor your faithfulness. I honor your willingness to stay with it until I say stop. I honor you tonight.

I have so much more for us to do. It will be wonderful. But, tonight, today, is all about me appreciating you and blessing you. It is as important to learn to receive as it is to give. Through both is the river of life.

I love you daughter and I will continue to give to you as long as you continue to give to others. I promise.

Satan's tricks...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am mad at the enemy tonight God. He is so predictable and so sneaky all at the same time. He has no new tricks up his sleeve. All he does is lie, cheat, steal, kill, and cause division. But, even though I know that, I still can get caught up in it. 

God I pray for a day when I don't let myself get caught up by the devil and his stupid tricks. I pray for the day when I can shake them off as easily as Paul did with the poisonous snake. God, I pray for your help to recognize his tricks earlier and walk away from them more completely. Thank you Jesus!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Satan has no power over your life. You are my redeemed child and I will protect you from him. End of story. 

Everything else is a lie. Live in the truth of your position as a redeemed child of me and you will not struggle against his tricks. My redemption, the price I paid for you, is stronger than anything he has. 

I love you daughter and will never relax my protection over you. 

Missing the dream....

My prayer:

My God. There is one dream, you know the one, that I had given up on. I had decided that it hadn't happened yet so it wasn't going to. I thought I was at peace with that. But now, when it looks like maybe, it still could happen...maybe, now I am all excited and scared all over again. 

God, fact is, no matter what I think or feel, I want your will, nothing more and nothing less in my life. Your perfect will. I know that your will is greater than anything I can imagine. Your will be done God. That is my prayer. I love you. I will love your people. And, your will be done.

What God Said Tonight:

Rest in the calm assurance that I remain in charge. There is nothing happening and nothing that will happen in your life that I am not in complete charge. 

You worry that you will miss something. You worry that if you are not paying close enough attention that you will miss some move, some action that you will need to take. I tell you now, with no hesitation and no doubt, you will not miss what I have for you as long as you focus on me. There is no action or inaction that you can take that will make you miss my will if you are focued on me. If you are talking with me, if you are listening to me and if you are remembering me in all things, there is nothing n my wiill that will pass you by if your focus is directly on me. I will make sure of it. 

I love you daughter and I feel you anxiousness. I promise I will not make you wait one second longer than necessary for this dream. I love you .

One way to love...

My prayer:

Amazing God. I just want to thank you tonight for the freshness that you have brought in our relationship. In someways, it is like when I first decided to live for you. I am excited by the idea of hanging out with you. 

But in some ways, it is even better because now, I know you. I know how good you are. I know that you won't ever leave me. I know that you love me. Kind of like falling in love with your best friend. 

Maybe that is the difference God. I have always loved you but now, I am in love with you. I don't know if I am explaining it well, but it is amazing and wonderful. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

I only know one way to love and that is all in love. I have loved you since the beginning of time. I have treasured you each and every day. I save your tears because I love you so much. I am passionate about our life together. I love you and always will. 

My love is not dependent yon your love for me but your ability to receive my love is dependent on your love for me. You can't believe that I truly love you unless you love me. You can't believe that I truly know you unless you love me. You can't trust me unless you love me. Your love for me will determine what you can receive. I, for that reason, am so happy that you have found this new level with me. You will be able to do, see, experience more. It is going to be fun!

God's path...

My prayer:

Hi God! My thoughts are really scattered tonight so I have no idea if this will make sense but hopefully you will hear my heart. So many opportunities and possibilities in life right now, I am not sure if I can keep up. God I pray for wisdom and for favor. I pray God that you open every door that you want open and you shut every door that you want shut. God, help me follow what you want in my life in every aspect. I don't really trust my own judgement right now...at least in some areas. But, I trust you and I know that you know the end from the beginning so keep me on the right paths. Thank you!!!

What God Said Tonight:

My path is not always the easiest but it is always the best. My path is full of joy and with peace. It is not free of danger but it is free of death. It is free of the entanglements of sin. It is free of the guilt that comes with sin. 

It is the path that leads you to the future that I ordained for you and it is the path that leads to everlasting life. Every thing good in life can be found along my path. Every thing evil in life can be found on the other paths. 

Follow my path and you will see the beauty of the son rising in the new heaven and the new earth. Bring people with you and you will experience a multiplied joy in that sight. 

I love you daughter and I will guide you always. I am your Father and your teacher. I will not let you down. 

Choose again...

My prayer:

God, my God. You are wonderful. I love you. I am anxious to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

You have given me your life. You have told me that I can use you in any way that I want to. You gave me permission to change you. 

Right now tonight, I need to know, I need to hear from you, do you still want those things? Do you still give me complete authority over your life? Do you still want to live your life for me and my purpose? 

Don't answer until you have thought about it. This is not something to be taken lightly. If the answer is "no", I will still love you. I will still guide you. I will still be here for you; however, you will not be living in the great promise I have for your life and you will miss out on great joy to me, the Kingdom, and you. 

If you say yes, I can promise you that it won't be easy. You know that the walk has been tough at times and that will not change. I will continue to push you to grow. I will continue to guide you, love you, keep you. But, if you choose me, I can lead you into the great promise that I have for your life. 

Tonight is a night to rededicate or to decide to walk away. I will love you no matter what. Choose carefully and don't choose until you mean it with every part of your being. 

Season of change...

My prayer:

Today was good God. Just hanging out with you, nothing fancy, but good. I am feeling a bit back on course but I still have that feeling of something slightly off. I don't like feeling that way. It robs my peace. Is it you telling me something needs to change or is it just me? I love you God and it was so good to have a day to just focus on you. I haven't done that in TOO LONG. And, when I don't get that time with you, I am no good to anyone. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

You are sensing a season of change. I told you a little while ago that I needed you to wait. The wait is almost over and part of the unease is the awareness of that change. 

Change is hard but it will be good. I promise. I will guide you and direct you always. I will take you through this season just as I have every season.. You are not alone. You are never alone. I am with you and guiding you each step of the way. I will never leave you or turn my back. 

I will guide you. I won't let you stumble around in the dark. I am the light that guides you. Your job is simple, focus on me and love....love me and everyone else. Love like crazy. You do those two things and I promise I will work all of the rest of the details out. Love you.
