What you don't know...

My prayer:

Gave everything I had and a little more to this day God. I am ready for sleep and Sabbath! But first, what is on your mind? What do you want to talk about tonight? I am all ears my Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

You know how sometimes you think you know what is going on and later you realize that you had no idea what was really going on? Well there is some of that going on right now in your life. There are some events, some things happening that you think you know the reasons for. You think you know why it is happening; however, there is so much you don't know. So much that if you did know, would help to make sense of the situation. 

I can't tell you everything that is happening although I would like to. What I can tell you is I am still in charge. Trust in me and I will lead you and guide you. One day, you will see the truth. Until that day, just know that not everything is as it seems. Some things have greater depth than you can imagine. 

I am yours and you are mine and I will not let you be taken away from me. You and I are together forever.

Circles...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for your gentle and sometimes not so gentle guidance. Thank you for surrounding me with just the right people at just the right time to help me through each crazy thing life throws at me. You are a light unto my feet and a lamp unto my path and I am VERY GRATEFUL!!! Keep me God on your perfect path for my life that I can do and be everything that you want me to do and be. Make me a blessing to everyone you have blessed me with. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Much of life is circular. When you forgive others, I forgive you, and then you forgive others and I forgive you etc. When you are blessed, you bless others and when you bless others, I bless you. 

It is not just that you reap what you sow. You also sow what you reap when you are living in my perfect will. If you are not receiving back what you want, check what you are giving out. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is not just the Golden Rule, it is a reality of life that is as real as gravity. It is just the way it is. 

If you are in a circle that you don't want to be in, change what you are doing and it will change what you are receiving. If you  feel like everyone is against you, start consciously trying to help others and support them. Before long, you wills start to recognize that you have people all around you that love and support you. I guarantee when you change what you are doing, you will change what you are receiving. 

Create circles of love, support, joy, success. 

Safe and protected...

My prayer:

Thank you God for keeping me safe! The roads and the storm looked pretty bad tonight but you brought me through with no trouble at all. Your protection is amazing. I feel and am so safe with you taking care of me. 

Feeling safe is a big deal for me. There were a lot of years that I did not feel safe. Now, I almost always feel safe knowing that you are watching out for me. Thank you for keeping me safe and giving me the assurance that you always will. You are wonderful!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your shelter in the storm. I am your strong tower. I am your Father and it is my great pleasure to take care of you and to keep you safe. 

Run to me in trouble and I will be there. Come to me in times of peace and I will care for you. No matter what is happening in your life, you can come to me and I will surround you with my love and my care. You are precious to me and I protect those who are precious. 

Overwhelmed and intimidated...

My prayer:

Incredible God. Sometimes I look at the things that you entrust me with and I get intimidated. I know that I am not good enough or smart enough to do the things that you have put in front of me. But, I guess that is the point. No matter how big the thing is that you put in front of me, you always cause me to succeed, not because of my talents but because of who you are. 

I need to remember that right now. Help me God to not get overwhelmed with the tasks at hand and to be completely confident that you will show up and make it all work. I know you will. You have shown me over and over. But that does not make it less intimidating when the mountain is looming over me. 

Uggh! I know how I should feel. I should feel completely confident in you and your ability to take care of everything. And, sometimes I do feel that way. Then, other times, I think I must be crazy to try to tackle all that I am trying to tackle. When I look at it logically, I am sunk. Help please God.

What God Said Tonight:

Out of everything before you, every task, every project, every challenge, is there any of them that I did not tell you to do? If there are things that you are doing that you do not think are in my will, you should stop those. However, for every thing that I have told you to do, of course I will take care of it. Of course I will make sure you succeed. I am the one who asked you to do it. Why would I do that if I didn't expect and know that you would be successful? 

Focus on me, focus on the things that I have commissioned you to, and trust that I did not call you into them to fail. I love you and I desire to see you successful. I will not call you to it unless I am prepared to help you through it. I love you too much. 

Rest for a little while here tonight. no worries, no plans, no pressure. Just rest with me and I will renew your strength, I will lift your sails. I will be the wind beneath your wings helping you to soar. I love you.

Glory to glory living...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I wish encouragement was as contagious as discouragement. I wish that faith was more contagious than doubt. I want that to be true but it doesn't seem like it is. 

We do our best to live the life you have for us and usually fall short. We have occasional flashes of brilliance where your power and your anointing reign in between long stretches of trying to figure it out. I guess I should be grateful for the flashes of brilliance. Not everybody gets those. I didn't get them before I was living life with you. 

But, I want to live the Glory to Glory kind of life. I want to live a life that is building on success not trying to correct failures. Is that possible? Is that kind of life possible this side of heaven? I hope so. I love you!!

What God Said Tonight:

The presence of the Lord is here. In my presence no sickness can stand. I my presence  no idols can stand. In my presence everything is made holy. 

The more time you spend in my presence and actively aware of my presence, the closer you will get to the kind of Glory to Glory life you are seeking. In my presence, all things change. Stay in my presence and see your life, your perception of your life, change 

Living in the glory is not hard but you can't seek out the glory. You must seek me and my glory will touch you. 

God's broken heart...

My prayer:

Amazing and wonderful God! Thank you for your miracle healing today. Thank you for all of the things you fixed. Thank you for every answered prayer! I have definitely been complacent and taking you for granted lately and I am sorry. I apologize for being self centered and distracted and failing to remember all of the good you have done and all that you continue to do every day. I love you God and I am SO GRATEFUL that I get to live life with you!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Thousands, millions, billions, trillions...more people than you can imagine. Everyday, there are so many people who need. So many people who need me to survive. I wish more of them realized it. I wish more of them could see that I am right here for them. 

It is the one thing that breaks my heart, to see my children choosing to live a life with satan instead of with me. It breaks my heart to see them hurt, abused, deceived.

I will always give them a choice. Every second of their life they will have a choice. I want more of them to choose life, to choose me. I need you to be out there on the front lines telling them about me. Don't forget. Don't forget to tell them of the glory of a life with me. Don't leave it up to the TV or to Pastors and teachers. I need you to tell them. I need you to tell the people in your life, the ones around you, just what it is like. Let them see me in your life. Don't hide me. 

I love you daughter, help spread my love.

Yet...

My prayer:

Confused and thoughts are too jumbled to put together. Talk to me God? please.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not in me to disappoint you. Your disappointments are a result of giving up and giving in too soon. I have promises on your life and those promises are real and assured. The only way those promises will not come to pass is if you give up too soon. 

Wait for the fulfillment of my promise for you. Do not settle for anything less. You have a dream and a vision that I gave to you and it has not happened...yet. Don't forget to add the "yet" when you think about that promise. It hasn't happened...yet. 

Don't stop believing because the promise is not gone. It is delayed. I know you are frutstrated with the delays on this one but delayed is not denied. Delayed is just delayed. You will see the fulfillment if you don't give up. 

I love you and I will not see you disappointed. You are my precious child and you will have everything I have told you can have.
