Evil will end...

My prayer:

God, it is too much. That is all that I have been able to think all day. It is just too much. Now we have people shooting babies. Walking into elementary schools and shooting our little kids. It is TOO MUCH! Too much evil. Too much pain. Just too much. 

I know we are in the end times and I know that you warned us that we wouldn't want to be around during that time. But, we are. And, I don't know how to deal with this latest atrocity. 

I pray that you help the people effected by this latest evil. I pray that you help us as a country. I pray that you help us as a world. And most of God, I pray that you end this as soon as possible, bring the new heaven and the new earth and send evil and its father to the pit of hell. 

What God Said Tonight:

The world is infested with evil and I will eradicate that evil. It will not last forever. There is an end to it. I have a way out of this evil and that plan is unchanged. 

Trust me, hang on to me, don't let go. It is the only way through this to the other side. 

I love you. I will comfort you, all of you. We will get to the other side. It will be glorious. Evil will end. I promise.

God's will...

My prayer:

Wow, what a day God. It is hard to keep up with you sometimes! I LOVE IT!! Help me please to know the right opportunities to follow. The ones that you have for me God. I know they are all your ideas but if some are for me and some are for other people, let me know. It all is a bit overwhelming but super exciting too!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have made you lie down in green pastures. Be in peace, be still and know that I am God. 

I won't bring you things that I don't want you to do. But, it is your choice. I have never forced you in anything and I never will.  

I am the God of peace. Where my will is, there is peace. Where my will is, there is rest. Where my will is, there is ease. Follow my peace and you will always be in my will. 

Following my will is simple but not easy. You have to make the choice. That is the hardest part. you have to make the choice even when that choice seems impossible. Once you choose, I can take over and make it happen. But, I can't, I won't move until you choose. 

I love you no matter what you choose. I will be with you no matter what you choose. I will guide you no matter what you choose. But, your choice will determine your future. No pressure... :) 

Going home...

My prayer:

Too tired to pray but never too tired to listen. Love you God. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

When you think of going home, what do you think of? 

One day you will know what home really is. It is not a building or a town. It is not a place or even people. Home is a state of mind and a state of spirit where you are in your right purpose. 

Everything on earth may disappear. You may look across the landscape and see nothing and no one, but if you are still in your purpose from me, you will be home. 

When you are home, you can relax. When you are home, you can kick your shoes off. When you are home, you know you belong. You are home in my purpose for you. I love you and I want you to know it and feel it tonight. 

I am your home. 

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!
