Insomnia...

My prayer:

50 hours with only 5.5 hours of sleep God... so tired. I need your help to sleep and to rest tonight. I don't understand what the problem is but you are my problem solver and the solution to any problem so I am asking for your help. 

I know that you promise in your word to pour out upon me the spirit of deep sleep and you close my eyes. I know that I lay me down to sleep and my sleep is sweet because you are with me. I know the promises God but I am not experiencing the reality of them right now and I am so tired. Please help. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Who knows what you need better than me your creator? I know that you have wanted sleep as usual the last few nights, but it is not what you need  

What you need is to face the thing that is keeping you up. Stop pushing it under the carpet. Stop getting angry with things that are not even related. Face the root issue and your rest will come. 

In the meantime, I am still here with you and I will make sure that you have everything you truly need. I will make sure that you are protected, cared for, sheltered, fed. I will make sure you have the time to face the demon you are running from. 

I love you daughter and you are not in it alone but I can't stand by you when you are running away.

Are you ready?

My prayer:

Amazing God! YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you for answered prayer! Thank you for doing it in a way that was so unexpected! Thank you God for being so AMAZING! 

What God Said Tonight:

Are you ready? I have been telling you about the wave, about the new things to come. Are you ready? The time is here and it is now and it is wonderful. You will have every opportunity you can imagine and even some you can't. Anything you want to do for me, it is yours fro the taking. I will take you as far as you want to go. 

Will you ride it all the way or will you get scared and stop it before you see all that I can do? Will you trust me even when you are scared? Will you believe that I am in charge even when you know clearly that you are not? 

We have prepared for this time for awhile. Are you ready? Good.

Wisdom and direction...

My prayer:

Awesome God. What a great day again. I love the people you put in my life. Such amazing, talented, encouraging, loving people. I am pretty sure I don't deserve them but I am super grateful for them. 

Seemed like wisdom and direction were the big issues for a lot of people today. That is the funny thing. Once we decide we want to live for you and want your will in our lives, then we struggle with understanding what that is in any given situation. 

Some things are easy. If it is against you, if it is evil, if it is sin, we know that is the wrong choice. But there are so many choices where it isn't between right and wrong  but it is between good and best. Knowing the difference between good and best is not so easy.

Give us wisdom God so we can follow your will. Let us know the best decisions so we can live the life you intended for us. Help us to figure out this puzzle called life please God. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

When faced with those hard decisions,change your focus. Seek me first and I will take care of the rest. Keep your thoughts and mind on me and I will show you the best. I will show you what my best for you is. 

I am that light unto your feet and a lamp unto your path. I will guide you always. I have promised  these things to you. If you quiet yourself, focus on me, I will show you the way. I never meant for you to have to figure it all out on our own. I am here with you always and I will help you but you have to be listening to me. You have to be focused on me. 

Instead of asking the same question over and over, rehearsing the possible outcomes, how about you spend some time in sincere worship. Get your mind off of the decision and get it on me. I tell you, by the time you are so lost in worship that you have forgotten about the question, that is the time when the answer will become crystal clear. I know it does not make logical sense but it is true. Try it and see. Love you!

Great love...

My prayer:

My awesome God. Today was good. Really good. Life with you is simply good. I don't ever want to be without you, not even for a second. I love you. That is really it. I love you for who you are. I love you for who I am with you in my life. I love you for all that you do for me. I love you because my life is better when you are in it. I know I don't tell you enough. I let life get me distracted sometimes. But don't ever doubt my love, please. You are my everything God.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you too sweet daughter. I made the oceans and the beaches for you. I made the mountains and the trees for you. I made the rivers and the lakes for you. I made the day time and the night time, just for you. I made the animals for you. I made the stars for you. I made it all for you because I love you . I made it all for you joy and your pleasure. 

I will make you a new heaven and a new earth too. I will make a future for you that is beyond yor imagination. I will make for you...the desires of your heart. 

I love you so much and there is nothing I won't do for you. My children are so precious to me. I will never leave you, ever.

Ride the wave...

My prayer:

Amazing God. This was a long day, a long week, but I get to end it here with you so that makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for bringing me through, giving me energy and favor, keeping me healthy, showing me what to do and when to do it in order to have the best results possible. 

Thanks for the reminder today that how I treat people matters. I will do my best to remember that and to treat people as well as I know how. 

All I ask tonight is to hear your voice and then to sleep well. Those are the simple desires of my heart tonight. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A wave is coming but you will ride the wave. Waves can be powerful and destructive unless you stay on top of them. Then, they can take you places faster and farther than you could have gone on your own. Ride the wave that I am bringing and it will take you like a catapult into your future. 

I don't have time to wait around anymore. Time is so short. I have a lot to do in a very short time so I need you, my sons and daughters who are willing, to go farther and do more than you have ever done. 

I love you and I promise we will have some fun in the process but get ready to fly.

Worry...

My prayer:

Long day, mind racing, falling asleep sitting up, need to hear your voice...Love yoU!

What God Said Tonight:

Now that was an efficient prayer. I think the only one that I hear that is more efficient is God, HELP! 

I love you daughter and your worries tonight are not fruitful. You do not have to run through all of the what ifs. I have your life in my hands and I will not let you fall. I love you and I have great plans for you to prosper and not to fail. You are going to see even greater things and the future is bright. I will take care of it. 

Listen to my voice and tune out the voice of worry. Worry is not your friend and does not have your best interest at heart. Worry is designed to eat away at you until you are a jagged edged mess. Worry is a tool that is used to eat away at your self esteem and confidence and it is not worthy of a daughter of mine. 

Rest in the full assurance that I am in charge and I will guide you. I will make sure you know what to do at what times to live in the future I have for you. Choose to follow me and you will always be making the right choice. I love you now and forever. Rest.

Why pray?

My prayer:

What an honor it is to live for you God. Thank you for the opportunities to pray for your people today. I love getting to be a part of that and then seeing you take care of everything. I don't know why you need us to pray in order for you act in a situation. Or, I guess I should say, I don't know why you set it up so we pray and then you act instead of you just acting on things when you want to. But, I have to say, I love that I get to be a part of it. I love when people come to me with that impossible situation(s), we pray and then you show up and fix everything. That is wonderful, amazing, awe inspiring and A LOT OF FUN! Thanks for letting me be a part of it God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have many reasons why I want you to pray. First, I love to hear from you. Not everyone remembers to talk with me everyday but everyone remembers to talk with me when they need me. Prayer keeps us connected. 

I also want to be sure that you know what you want and that you know who will provide it. Prayer accomplishes both of those things 

I would like it a whole lot better if everyone felt comfortable praying and talking to me at anytime. However, I know that some are intimidated by that. That is what churches and Church staff are there for. They can help you pray when you don't know how.
