New dawn...

My prayer:

You are wonderful, amazing, perfect and I trust you with everything God. Less me and more you...

What God Said Tonight:

I am waiting on a new dawn that will blow your mind. I am not talking about the end of the world but I am talking about the dawning of the new world. The old is gone and passed away. The new is here.

Guilt...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't know what to pray tonight. I hated doing what I had to do today and now I am just tired and a bit numb. I looked back and realized that it was just two nights ago that I was praying about other people getting laid off not knowing that I would have to do the same thing to someone today.

Thank you for helping me to do it in love. I don't think it made it much easier for her to hear. God, please take care of K and her family. Be their provider. Give them the gift of your love and your peace tonight. Let them know that this is a beginning and not an ending. And, God, let me know if there is anything else I can or should do. My heart hurts for her tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

I take care of all of my children and will take care of her. Closed doors are just opportunities for a new direction for my children. I will take her into a new adventure. 

Now, for you. Part of what you are feeling tonight is compassion. Compassion is born of love and that is good. The rest of what you are feeling is guilt. Guilt is not from me. Guilt will weigh you down and will try to crush you. 

I am not a God of guilt, no matter what you have heard. Slough off the guilt. Let it go. It has no place in your life. You continue to follow my lead, love the people around you. Leave the guilt behind. There is no value in it. 

I love you daughter. 

Macaroni and cheese...

My prayer:

Awesome provider. You give me everything I need, when I need it, even when I don't realize I need it. That is my God! What would I do without you God? I don't even want to consider it. Thank you for choosing me, loving me, putting up with me, teaching me, being patient with me, and providing for me. Help me to be everything you need and want me to be to be the best blessing I can be to you and to other people. Love you!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Macaroni and cheese. Receive my comfort like macaroni and cheese tonight. Like chicken soup on a cold day. Like the arms of your mother after a rough day. 

I am everything you need and tonight, I am your comfort. My comfort will strengthen you for what you have next. My comfort will heal you where you have been scarred. My comfort will bring you peace. 

I love you. Receive my comfort for what comes tomorrow.

Don't miss your blessing...

My prayer:

Jehovah Jireh. I know so many companies that are laying people off right now and tonight I heard of another friend who lost his job. I don't understand why they are all doing it right now, before Christmas. It seems so harsh. 

Since we can't rely on the world to provide for our needs...ever...I pray to you God, Jehovah Jireh, our provider. I ask that in each of these situations that you provide. I thank you God that you have already told us that you are our provider. That you won the cattle on a thousand hills. That you take care of the birds of the field and the sparrow and how much more do you love and take care of us. I pray God that those who don't see the way out, have a new vision tonight from you. I pray that they see you working all things together for their good. In Jesus name, I ask and pray.

What God Said Tonight:

I am here and I am your provider. I am your Father and I will do all that I can to take care of you. 

You have a role too. You have to receive it. You have to recognize what I am offering and receive it. I know what you are saying in your head, "How can anyone not receive a blessing from GOD?" You would be surprised. Just like the woman tonight who you wanted to bless. You tried. You called out to her. But, you had to move on. You were in traffic and she was moving away from you and not toward you. You wanted to bless her. You had the means to bless her but she was not paying attention and walked away from her blessing. 

It is really that simple sometimes. I have your blessing for you. Don't walk away and miss it. 

Dawn is coming...

My prayer:

Wonderful, amazing God. Loving, generous Father. Patient, kind teacher. Savior and creator of the universe. You are my everything God and I love you more than I can say. I can't sing enough, I can't pray enough, I can't shout enough, and you know I can't dance...period! You are my hope, my peace, my joy, my comfort, my protection, my guide, my shelter and my Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

A new day is about to dawn but right now it is twilight. Right now it is dark with only stars bringing small points of light. 

The dawn is coming and it is glorious. The day is nearly here. But for now, the darkness remains. 

Just because it is dark does not mean I am not here. I am here regardless of how much light and dark there is. I am the light. There will always be light. 

One day, the light will defeat the dark for good. In that day, there will be much to celebrate. We don't celebrate while we are in the dark but we don't lose hope for the dawn either. 

I love you daughter. Rest well in my love and protection.

God said "no"...

My prayer:

Father God. Thank you for healing me today. I don't know what that thing was that tried to take me down but prayer and an hour sleep and I am feeling great again! You are amazing and wonderful God. 

This is another busy week (or at least a busy schedule, you are in charge of what actually happens and what doesn't). I will definitely need your help to do all that is on my plate this week. 

I also need some help facing the truth. I have held on to a particular dream for a long time and I think I am finally able to see the truth and let it go. But, it has been a part of me for so long, it is not going to be easy to let it go. I ask God for help in letting go of the fantasy and I pray that you replace it with a new dream, a new vision, that is in your perfect will. 

What God Said Tonight:

A dream is not a dream if it becomes real. I think what you want help with tonight is to let go of hope. That is not really what I do. 

I am the God of hope. I am the God of making the impossible possible. 

You can and should make choices about the things that you hope for and the things that you don't. But, that is your choice. I can help comfort you in the waiting. I can help bring you new dreams. I can help giving you new visions of what could be with me in your life. The sky is the limit. We can do anything you want. 

But don't ask me to take away your hope. That is something I cannot and will not do.

New snow...

My prayer:

Today was really wonderful God. Thank you. Thank you for the reminder of good things and people in this world. You are an awesome God and I am so grateful for you in my life. I could not make it one day without you. I wouldn't want to try. You are glorious, wonderful, amazing, and I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

You know how the world looks all fresh and new after a snow storm. Everything covered in white. The reality of what is under the snow is not changed, bu the snow makes it look fresh and clean. 

That is what today was. A blanket of snow to make you able to look at the world again. The snow will melt but it will nourish the ground that it soaks into. That nourishment will result in new grass in the right season. 

Goodness, sinks in and brings new growth. Let the goodness in your life soak in and grow some new things in you. I love you daughter. Sleep well.
