At peace...

My prayer:

Awesome God of peace. I am so relaxed tonight. It was wonderful to feel strong enough to really get a good run and work out in tonight. I have missed that endorphin rush and the peace that comes afterward. Without it, I get all out of balance. 

Anyway, life looks awfully good tonight. Thank you for all that you did today. You are wonderful. Thank you healing D, making me prosper, and all of the many other things you did today that I may not have even realized. 

What God Said Tonight:

I like it here with you right now. I can abide in a soul that is at peace. When you are at peace, you can hear me more easily, you can make better decisions, you can keep things like anger in check. When you are at peace, you can do more for me. 

Peace is a wonderful and beautiful condition. It is an environment that allows all good things to flow. Evil cannot stand in the face of true peace. 

Live in the midst of peace and you will find your life becomes richer and more satisfying. I am the Prince of peace for this reason. 

1000 posts...

My prayer:

Wow God, tonight is the 1000 prayer we have posted on this blog!! Who (other than you) could have known what you had planned for this when it started 3.5 years ago? That is how you are though. You start with just planting an idea, a seed. Then, if I/we say yes, you take that seed and grow it into the biggest tree we have ever seen!

Thank you for the honor of getting to listen to you each night and for the honor of sharing you with the world each night. Please don't ever stop talking to me. A day without you is unthinkable. I am not sure I could survive even one day.

I love you God!!

What God Said Tonight:

Round numbers are fun milestones to chart where you have been but the real marker of success is the lives that are changed. One life, one person who chooses me because of anything you do is worth the world. One person who is saved sends the heavens into high praise and celebration. I don't count success by numbers but I do count success my soul impact. 

I love you daughter and each of the last 1000 nights has been precious to me. But then, every night that I get to talk to and listen to my kids is precious to me. I love spending time with my children who love me. 

See you for 1001.

LOVE...

My prayer:

Not sure what to pray about tonight God. I am simply grateful to be feeling better and stronger. That is the only good thing about when I do get sick, it makes me appreciate being well at a whole new level! Thank you God for always taking care of me, healing me, providing for me, teaching me, loving me, and being my Lord. I love you SO MUCH!!

What God Said Tonight:

Your dreams, your hopes, your fears are all so precious to me. I don't take any of them lightly. I want you to know that you are my child, my creation, my love. 

I want you to understand tonight, like you never have before, that I love you, period. Not I love you if... Not I love you when... Not  I love you unless... Just, I love you. I will always love you. I will never not love you. 

Think of any moment in time for the rest of eternity...do you have that time period in mind? Good, I will love you then. 

I don't need you to perform for me to love you. I don't need you to be good for me to love you. I don't need you to do or be anything other than you for me to love you. 

I know that kind of love is hard to understand. I will spend the rest of eternity teaching you about it. But tonight is one of the lessons. No matter when, no matter where, no matter what, I love you. Remember that.

When evil dies...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am trying to imagine what life will be like after your second coming to earth, when there is a new earth, a new heaven, satan is cast into the lake of fire with all of his demons, and evil is no longer roaming around causing havoc. What will it be like? Having never experienced a place or a time when evil did not exist, I am having a hard time imagining it. 

I am certain it will be wonderful. I would imagine that we will have a lot more joy and peace. We should be able to relax a bit maybe? See, I have a hard time truly imagining it. If you are willing and if I can understand, can you tell me what it will be like? 

Thanks for today. My strength is returned and it was a very good day. Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

I am not sure if I can explain so you understand but I will try. It is hard to describe the absence of something. What will the world be like in the absence of evil? 

It is like looking at a big tree and asking what it will be like when thee tree is gone. Obviously, you won't see the tree anymore. However, you will see the effects of the tree. You will see new growth out of the tree. You will see new plants out of the tree. You will see sunshine and light where there was shade and darkness. You will see the things that were on the other side of the tree the whole time but you did not know they were there. You  may see things that you don't recognize. 

In the new kingdom, when evil is gone, you will see like you have never seen before. You will not longer be blinded by sin and by bondage. You will experience my light like you never have before with no interference. You will have room to grow and to dance and to love. New life will spring up in the place of where evil lived. 

I celbrate in anticipation of that day. It will be so very good. Sleep well in peace. 

Celebrate beauty...

My prayer:

The God who makes the impossible possible! Thank you God for the very good news today! I had really lost hope and then, all of a sudden you show up and it is done! YOU ARE WONDERFUL!! 

I pray and ask for the completion. I pray that now that you have him where you want him, you lead him to your salvation. I CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE THIS ONE WITH YOU!!! Never, never, never give up hope...I HAVE to remember that! 

What God Said Tonight:

It will be good to celebrate with you again. It has been too long. Your life has been very serious of late and it is time to smile, enjoy, and revel in the goodness in your life. Celebrate me, celebrate life, celebrate all of the beauty that is around you. 

Is there ugliness too, absolutely. I do not ask you to deny the ugly. But I ask you to focus on the beauty for a while. The beauty in you, the beauty in others, the beauty in me. Refresh your spirit with the beauty of the Lord and the blessings I give you. 

Enjoy, smile, dance, sing...with me. I love you.

Changing perspective...

My prayer:

My mighty God and Lord. I close my eyes tonight and I see the green of the forest in springtime. I open my eyes and I see the snow and cold of March in Colorado. I was watching Nick Vujicic tonight and listening to how his story changes people's perspective. 

So much of what I experience in life is a direct result of my perspective and not so much a result of the circumstances. It has taken me a long time to learn that and I keep having to relearn it in parts of my life. 

God, I ask for a Godly perspective in every aspect of my life. Help me to see the truth and the potential in every situation, every person in my life. Help me to look away from discouragement and anything that is in opposition to how you think about things. I know that your thoughts are greater than my thoughts but you have also said that I have the mind of Christ. Help me God to look at life with the mind of Christ and not with my fallible, sinful mind. Your perspective is always better than mine.

What God Said Tonight:

How you look at yourself and your life may change over time. How you look at me will also change. Not because I change but because your understanding of me will change. Perspective is not a concrete stable thing. It is by it's very nature, constantly changing. The key is to guide it and herd it toward a positive outlook on a constant basis. 

You must not let your guard down in this respect. It is one of the areas that satan will first come after you. If he can change your perspective, as he did with Eve and Adam in the garden, he can get you to believe and do almost anything. 

Guard against it. Take your thoughts captive and keep yourself surrounded by things that give you a right perspective on life. Stay in my word, include inspiring people in your life, give yourself the opportunity to see and do inspiring acts. 

I will help but this is an area where you have to be an active participant. Your perspective is your responsibility. I love you daughter rest well for a new day tomorrow.

The essence of God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am dead tired. Thanks for helping me through the day at work. I am anxious to be back to 100%. This bout with this cold/flu or whatever name the evil spawn wants to take has reminded me how wonderfully blessed I am with divine health 99.9% of the time. 

God I send your word of healing to every person struggling with poor health tonight. God we join together and praise you for your healing power. If we can connect with even the smallest part of that power, we can be completely whole. Just like the woman with issue of blood. All she needed was to touch the hem of your garment. We are reaching out to you tonight Jesus, to touch the merest part of you and your healing power that we can have your miracle healing power working in our bodies. 

THANK YOU JESUS!

What God Said Tonight:

I am not just a healing God, I am healing power. I am not just a God of peace, I am peace. I am the substance of what you need. I don't just know about these things, they are the essence of who I am. 

So, if you need more healing in your life, for you or for others, you need to know me more, have more of me you. Like Paul, when I am completely present in you, so much so that people see me instead of you, when there is no line between your soul and mine, that is when you will see the crazy healing miracles. That is when even just the shadow that you cast will heal. My power will be spilling out of you. 

In the meantime, study me, know me, experience me and you will have all you need to see people healed, I love you sweet woman of God
