The size of the problem...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am letting the little hassles of life get to me tonight. Sometimes, those little hassles are the ones that make me the most crazy. It is like ants nibbling away at me. When something big happens, some major event, I know how to pray and how to fight that. But these little annoyances pile up. None of them are worth worrying about on their own. But when they pile up, they start looking like an insurmountable mountain that isn't even worth trying to get over. 

Ugggh! Sorry for the whining God. Thank you for letting me bring everything to you no matter how small. Thank you for always listening and always helping. I trust you and leave the little things in your hands.

What God Said Tonight:

There are no little things. There are no big things. All challenges, all sin, all things are the same to me. I am the creator of the universe. So, everything is manageable to me. When you cry out to me, it does not matter the size of the problem. They all look small to me. I can flick them away without any effort. 

Now, there are some things that you will learn and be better off if you go through them. Not every lesson is fun but they are useful to help you be the best person you can be. You asked the other night for me to help you be the best you that you can be. 

Welcome to lesson number one. You are a royal priesthood regardless of whether you are talking from the top of a castle or from the gutter in the street. You are my chosen one. You are chosen to do great things. Don't get stuck in doing things the way they have always been done because they have always been done that way. Break free of the constraint of yesterday and, relax in right relationship with me. 

Talking with God...

My prayer:

I really don't know what to talk about tonight God. Lots of little thoughts running through my mind but nothing worthy of bringing to you. When I stop to think about how awesome you are and that you are willing to listen and talk to me whenever I come to you...I mean, that is crazy! You, the creator of everything, Lord of heaven and earth, Father God, is willing to listen and talk to me. Little old nothing special me. That does not make sense. 

I am VERY grateful that it is true even though it doesn't make sense. I am VERY grateful that you are willing to listen and to talk to me even though it is crazy that you would want to. My life would truly not be worth living without getting to talk to you, have you listen, and have you talk back to me. I need every aspect of that in my life. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

Why wouldn't I talk to you? Why wouldn't I listen to you? I made you to be in relationship with me. If I made you to be my daughter and then I never talked or listened to you, that would be pretty stupid. I may as well had a rock as you Father if that was the case. but no, I want you to have the full experience that this life has to give. 

Talking to you is a highlight of my day. Listening to you is like sweet music in my ears. Our talks are the foundation of our relationship and the more we talk, the stronger our relationship becomes. Keep talking and keep listening my sweet daughter.

Together...

My prayer:

Wow God. Feels like I blinked and suddenly the weekend was over. Back to work tomorrow and a busy week ahead. I pray and ask that you guide me every step of the way. Help me to be and do everything that you have for me. Help me to be a blessing to everyone around me. I pray for your continued favor on my life. Help me to learn what I need to know. Hmm, I am sensing a theme here. Looks like I would just generally like your help this week God. Love you! What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help. I will guide you and lead you always. Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. That all should sound familiar. They are promises that I have had over my people for a very long time. 

You can count on my word, my promises. You can count on me. I will never let you down. I will always, always, always, be there for you. I love you too much not to be. I adore you. You are perfectly and wonderfully made and when I look at you, through the redeeming blood of my son, I see the perfect woman of God that I intended you to be. 

I love when you slow down enough to spend time with me so I can just look at you. You are so beautiful to me. 

We will go into this week like every other week of your life, together. We will slay some dragons and we will have some fun. We will bless your neighbors and we will encourage those without hope. We will do it all together. I love you daughter, now and forever.

Battle on!

My prayer:

When you are on my side, who can be against me? Truer words were never spoken God! I see it all around me. Your people. Those that love you, honor you, stand up for you, ALWAYS win in the end. I love being on the wining team and I love to see you people, my family win. It doesn't even really matter to me what it is that they win at. I just love to see them win and to glorify your name. 

Tonight watching UFC title match, the one guy comes out and his theme song is Our God is an Awesome God. I knew right then that the other guy did not have a chance. The fight was already won. Your guy went on to completely dominate the fight and win. The first words out of his mouth when they put the microphone on him, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" 

I want to remember that the next time I am letting life get me down. The truth is, with you on my side, I will always win. Game over! Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

If there are no battles, you can never win. No one likes the battle, the struggle, but the truth is without the battle, you can never experience the win. 

Be grateful for the battles. They are opportunities for you to show off the power you have in me. They are the opportunity for you to show people what I can do. The battles are the things you are training for. It is why you spend so much time learning. It is part of why you spend so much time with me. 

Like the fighter you watched tonight, your life is training for the battle. Take the training seriously but don't get worried or upset when it is time to go into battle. The battle is there for a reason and the battle is where it all comes together. I love you my warrior girl. Battle on!

Stick together...

My prayer:

Tonight was amazing God. Miracle healing, getting to Skype Pastor Kathy into Prayer and Worship all the way from Ghana, your prophecies for us all, AWESOME! I love hanging out with you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you told me I was headed back to Israel God and I say "woohoo!" Can't wait to go back home again. Show me the opportunity, the open door, and I am ready to go. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I love when you get together in my name. There is power in the agreement between my people. There is power when you join together to worship me and to draw near to me. I want you to do it more and more.

There are the end times. Make no mistake about it. This is it. We are living in the last age before my return and you will need the power of agreement to get through it. There will be challenges and battles and all of it will be easier if you are together.

satan will fight it. He will do all that he can to separate you and to isolate you. And, he will make you think it is your idea.Don't be fooled. Remember always that I made you to be in relationship with me and with each other. Anything that takes you away from me and away from connecting with your family in Christ is from him, not me.

I love you. Stick together to make it through.

Potential...

My prayer:

Thank you God that this day is OVER! You know that I do my best to find the best in everything but sometimes the "best" thing about a day is that is over and I will never have to live it again. That is what I am grateful for tonight. I can't wait to go to sleep and officially say good bye to this day. 

Ok, I am done whining. And, when I step back and look at the bigger picture, there are a lot of things to be grateful for, even in a day like this one. Thanks for letting me vent a bit though. How was your day?

What God Said Tonight:

I had a glorious day. But then again, I don't base my day on what happens. I base my day on the potential. It is the same with people. I don't see people for what they are, I see them for what I made them to be. I see their potential. 

When you change your view to look at potential, a whole new world opens up to you. The things you found most frustrating today could have been amazing opportunities if you had looked at them differently. You had great opportunities to show crazy love in the face of not feeling very loving. You had the opportunity to show me off. 

Start seeing the opportunities and possibilities in every situation and you will find that every day is a good day. I love you.

Normal...

My prayer:

I know I say this a lot God but today was a miracle. 2.5 hours of sleep last night and somehow, I still got everything done today, remained conscious and even got a good work out in. That isn't normal. But then, you are not normal. Life with you is not normal. THANK YOU GOD! Normal would be SO BORING! Love you and can't wait to hear what you have to say tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Normal is not what it use to be. It is time to get used to a new normal. You are going to see things that are going to blow your mind. It is going to become normal to see the supernatural collide with the natural world. 

You are going to see things that you have always heard about, angels and demons but they will be as real as the hand on your arm. You will see them and touch them. 

A day is coming where everything is going to come out in the open. There will not be any mysteries or shadows left. Everything will be laid bare and only those things that are just and right will remain. All of the evil will be burned away and we will be left with a world that lost its heart and soul but has been redeemed. 

Go rest now. You have done enough today and I need you ready for tomorrow. Love you.
