Happy birthday Jesus...

My prayer:

Happy birthday Jesus! Hope you were blessed all day!! 

What God Said Tonight:

Any day we get to spend together is a good day. I love you. Thank you for loving me and showing it. Let's do it again tomorrow...

God with us...

My prayer:

Rejoice, rejoice! Emanuel! God with us! It is almost here. The celebration of the day you were born on earth! 

It is a pretty crazy story really. The God of all creation saw that His children could not be redeemed to him from their sin without a sacrifice. The only one holy enough for that sacrifice was God himself. So, you decide to come to earth, in the form of a human. And, not just come to earth but to be born like a human, grow up like a human, live among us. Then, when it was time you sacrificed yourself for us, were crucified, and resurrected  You didn't have to do any of it God but you did all of it because you love us. 

God, I love you. I celebrate you. You are my Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you. Now and forever. I will never leave you.I will never turn my back on you. I did it all because I love you. I am invested in you. I am invested in your future. 

I didn't do all of this just to watch you fall. I did it all so you would not have to fall. I did it so that you could live with me forever. 

There are many who still don't understand. Love them. Love them like crazy. Love them day and night. Love them into my kingdom. Love them like I love you.

What God wants for Christmas...

My prayer:

Mighty and wonderful God. I am pretty excited about getting to celebrate your birthday again. Seems like for once, I am ready and not rushing around at the last minute. Church was great today. Thank you for the opportunity to bless some people. 

Oh, and thanks for healing me this morning! That was awesome. Woke up with a nasty sore throat and feeling like something the cat dragged in (and with my cat, that is really saying something!) then prayer and a workout later I was feeling great and continued to feel great all day!! I guess that message last night was for me and I didn't even know it! 

You are so awesome that way. Giving me what I need before I know I need it. You have been doing that a lot lately. I LOVE IT! Thank you for taking such good care of me. 

God, my request tonight is that this year, your birthday be the best celebration EVER! Let us know if there is anything special you want. 

What God Said Tonight:

I only ask one thing this year. Celebrate me publicly. Don't hide your celebration. Let the world see your love for me. Let them wonder what motivates such intense love. Let them wonder why you would stop everything in your busy life just to honor me. 

Let the world see your love for me. That is what I want for Christmas. 

I love you my sweet daughter. This has been a wonderful year and we have more to do next year. You and me forever and ever.

Healing God...

My prayer:

What a wonderful and varied day God. Lots of new experiences and some tried and true favorite experiences. It was wonderful. 

It ends tonight with an urgent request. One of your daughters is in the ER and in desperate need of your healing. I believe that you are Jehovah Rapha our healer and I send your word of healing to her. God I have personally seen you heal time and time again and I am expecting complete healing in her. I pray God that she comes out of this thing even stronger than she went in. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your healing God and I am the source of all healing. When I restored your status through my sacrifice, I made healing av available to you personally. You are no longer removed from the process. 

I heal today as I did while I was on earth, quickly and with little distinction regarding the determination of the person to be healed. 

I heal because it is who I am. I heal because without healing, my children would be too scarred and hurt to help each other. 

I love you. Be blessed and be healed. 

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.
