Perseverance...

My prayer:

Today was not easy but you took care of it all as always. You are such a good Father.I feel kind of silly saying that because of course you are a good Father, you Father God. But it is true and sometimes I have to just tell you. I hate to cop out again but I am so tired from all that this day threw at me. Can't really put thoughts together. I am grateful for all of the wonderful people you brought me to help me today. I can't imagine where I would be without them. I love you God and want to hear your thoughts tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Perseverance is a wonderful quality. The thing about today that made you successful is you never gave up. You never said, "this is just too hard" and give up. You never even considered giving up. 

That is something that I have grown in you and is so vital to the things we have to do together. Never give up. I will always make a way. It may not always be the way you think it should be but I will always make a way and I promise my way will always be best. 

I love you and you never need to lose hope or give up because I am always on your side.

Let off some pressure...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I worry that I am missing something. I worry in the busyness of my days here, that you are speaking and I can't hear you. Today was so full, almost no sleep last night, having a hard time staying awake but I want to be sure that at least now, I take time to listen. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your everlasting Father and the King of all Creation. If I need your attention, I will get it. I am God. 

The pressure you take on in life will kill you if you don't let it go to me. If you keep feeling like the world is your responsibility, you will crumble. You were not born to take on the world. You were born to love and worship me while I take on the world. You were born to have me work through you to change the world. 

Relax and know that I am God and I will have my way accomplished in the end, every time. I love you and I cherish our quiet time together. But let off some of he pressure. It is not good for you.

Fear is a choice...

My prayer:

Mighty God! Thank you for the amazing prayer report of healing tonight! I love when you heal and I REALLY love when you heal people who are skeptical that you can heal!! You are wonderful!

Being here in Israel is different this time. I am not sure what it all is but usually I am so relaxed and at home here and this time, I can almost feel the tension. Maybe because of everything going on with Syria? Maybe because and going and doing things I have never done here before? 

I don't know but I ask for your peace, no matter the cause. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem God. I pray against fear, I bind it in Jesus name and cast it to the pit of hell and I pray your protection around your people. God, I pray for your peace in my life. I pray that you fill me the complete assurance that you are in control.

It is clearly the end times. So many things tell us that and if I had any doubt, I don't now.

What God Said Tonight:

Fear is a choice. Yes it can be a response to circumstances but you have choose to be afraid. I have not given you a spirit of fear. Therefore, when you are afraid you are choosing something that I did not give you. 

You ask for assurance that I am in charge, today is your assurance. Did I not work out every last detail of this day? Did I not take you to each place you needed to go, even the ones you did not know you needed to go to? Did I not give you favor everywhere you went. Did I not bring people to your path to help guide you? I did. Think on those things when you are tempted by fear and choose to be filled with faith and not with fear. 

There are always frightening circumstances in this life but you don't have to be afraid. You can choose not to be afraid. I love you and I would see your walk in faith and not in fear for the rest of eternity.

God's lead...

My prayer:

Awesome God, it is good to be back in Israel! There really is something about this place. I can't wait to see what all you have planned. You have seemed to arrange everything so perfectly. I am pretty tired after about 24 hours of travel though so I think it is best if I just listen tonight and not blabber on too much. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have plans, but then I always have plans for you. I always have plans for good and not evil for you. I have prepared you for this time and this place and you will see many more great things. 

But tonight, just rest with me. Don't worry about what needs to be done or what will happen next. You have given me authority in your life and because of that, you don't have to worry about a thing. I have it all taken care of. Follow my lead and you will not be disappointed. 

I love you and I love your willingness to do whatever I come up with, no matter how strange. Go and sleep and know that everything that is supposed to happen will happen at the exact right time.

Love assignment...

My prayer:

You are so amazing God! This day, from the moment I woke up until this very moment has been so perfectly arranged by you! I love days like this. I love it when I can so clearly see your will and your purpose in every moment of a day!

Thank you for all of the amazing people you have put into my life. I am consistently blown away by the awesome, gifted, loving, supportive, praying, people you surround me with. It makes life so much easier to have amazing people around to love and support you. I am RICHLY blessed God and I am so grateful to you!

I guess it is pretty obvious that I am fresh from prayer and worship group. Life looks so much better after soaking in your presence for a few hours. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have made you to be a shade tree for those who are hot. I have made you to be a comfort. I have made you to be a wise counsel. I have made you to be a grateful servant to your fellow man. I have made you to be and to do many things and you will do them all. But most of all, I made you to love you and to be loved by you. 

Never lose sight of love. Never lose sight of the primary purpose in all that we do, love. I am sending you out on a new mission and your only job on this mission is to love. Let them see my love in you. Let them experience a love that heals and a love that strengthens. Let them know the true love that comes only from me. Those are your marching orders. Keep it in the forefront of your mind. 

It will not always be easy to love on this mission but that is your assignment. I love you baby girl. You are so very precious to me. I will not let you be hurt. I will not let harm come to you. My love will protect you. Be confident in my protection and go out and love.

The rope...

My prayer:

I am getting excited God! You are clearly up to something and I can't wait to see what it is. I am a little nervous. I seem to be walking into a pretty volatile situation. But, I know that I am headed to the exact place at the exact time that you have planned so that can't be bad, can it?

I pray that your will be done God. That is really the only prayer request I ever need to make. Your will is perfect and your will is the best choice for any of us. So, I pray that your will be done in every situation, in every life, every day for eternity!

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I am creating a cord of many fibers. I am knotting them all together to make a strong rope that will not break. 

The rope is my "church" and the it will save those who have fallen and need to be raised up. This church is not a place, it is not a building, but it is a unity of power through me. It is an agreement in faith for my will to rule on this earth. It is a consensus of thought that agrees with the mind of Christ. 

My "church", my family, my children are in  position and I am connecting them all to be the rope that will bring people in. I love you daughter.

God's frustration...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need to thank you for the reminder today that the best way to have the life I want is to fill my life with people who are experiencing those things that I want to experience. It helps me learn and helps me have the faith that those things are possible. Funny how I can forget basic things that you have taught me and that I knew so well at one time. 

How do you put up with me God? You must get frustrated having to teach me over and over, having to forgive me over and over, having to provide, heal, redeem me. It must get old after awhile. Please don't lose patience with me God. I am very grateful that you are more patient, more kind, more forgiving, and more full of grace than I am. I am confident that I would not put up with me if I were you...now there is a weird way to think about it. 

Huh, I am pretty tired and I guess a little loopy. I better hush up and listen to you God. I bet it will be a lot more coherent! LOVE YOU DADDY!

What God Said Tonight:

We have all eternity together my daughter. Of course I will not lose patience with you. We are in this for the long haul. 

I only get frustrated when people stop trying. As long as you are trying, working to be all you can be in me, that is all I care about. I don't mind having to teach you things more than once as long as you keep learning them each time. I only get frustrated when you refuse to learn or refuse to try to learn. 

Seek me. I say that a lot because it is important. It is in seeking me that you will find your true path. It is in seeking me that you will find me. It is in seeking me that you will learn everything you need to know. 

And by the way, you didn't have to relearn anything. You just needed to be reminded. I will often remind you of things, that is easy. Remembering is the building blocks of your future. It is how you make right and better choices tomorrow than you did yesterday. 

Keep trying, keep seeking me and everything you need will be yours. I love you to my daughter. Sleep well.
