Transfer of wealth...

My prayer:

Tonight gave me an awful lot to think about God. But it all comes down to one question, what do you want? What do you want me to do? What do you want to happen in your body? I am on board 100% with anything that you want. 

I pray God and ask that you open every door you want open and shut every door you want shut. I am more grateful than I can say about how you prosper me; but if there are things that I am doing or opportunities that I am looking at that are not your best, shut them down. 

I am yours. My life, my talents, my resources, all of it is yours.

What God Said Tonight:

Money, the love of money is the root of all evil. I am tired of my people getting taken off track because of money. I have the means and I will make possible the impossible, providing a way for my people to do what I have called them to, period. 

I have told you about a transfer of wealth in the final days. Get ready, that time is coming. With money no longer taking center stage, my people will be free to to follow their hearts. 

They will know me as their God.

Favorites...

My prayer:

Good friends, lots of laughs, thank you God! I needed that. I am ready for a rest, I am ready for Sabbath. 

I can't wait to rest all day with you tomorrow God. I can't wait to get quiet with you on the top of a mountain. 

Those are some of my most favorite times, just alone with you on top of the world. Nothing better than that. Although, these nightly talks are pretty awesome too. Then there are the times when I get to pray for people and watch you change their lives and meet every need, that is probably the most awesome time with you. There is NOTHING like laying hands on someone and watching you heal them before my eyes. Yea, maybe that is my favorite time with you. Or...I guess any time with you is my favorite! 

What God Said Tonight:

You are my favorite. Just like you can't really pick a favorite time, because they are all your favorites, that is how I feel about each of my children. They are all my favorites but that doesn't make any one of them less special. They really are all my favorites. 

So, I can honestly look you in the eye and tell you that you are my favorite. I adore you. I will always take care of you. I will always help you. You will always be my favorite. 

You pick the time...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I am worn out tonight for sure. All I want is to hear your voice and go to bed. My brain is much too tired for anything else. 

I sometimes feel guilty about being so tired by the end of the day when we hang out like this. It sure doesn't seem like I am bringing you my best. But, I also love to end my day with your voice. What do you think God? Should we change the time of day that we have this quiet time together? I want whatever is best for you. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

I don't care what time of day it is, I just care that we get time together. I will always take you right where you are at. If you wake up in the middle of the night and want to talk, I am here. If  you want to talk first thing in the morning, I am here. You are not quite "all there" first thing in the morning but I am there for whatever you need. If you want to talk at noon, I am there. 

It is all the same to me. I am always here for you. Just don't forget to talk to me. Life gets so crazy and so busy that it is not hard to get distracted and forget to take the time for us to spend time alone. I cherish our time together and I don't want to miss that, ever. 

So, you pick the time or times and I will always show up. LOVE YOU!!

The garden...

My prayer:

Mighty and incredible God. What an amazing night of celebrating what you can and have done!! You have told me so many times in the past that I could not even imagine what you were going to do in my life and you were SO RIGHT!! I look around and all I can say is "WOW." I am in awe of you.

It has not always been easy but it is always worth it. I love you God and can't wait to see what you do tomorrow!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Eye has not seen and ear has not heard...you have only begun my dear. 

It is like a garden that has been planted. You are only seeing the early bloomers right now. Wait until you see the garden in full bloom! I have so much more for you. I have seeds that have been planted, seeds that you planted years ago, that are beginning to break ground. 

You will not believe the diversity, the beauty of the garden we have planted. You have such joy in your future...you cannot imagine. I love you and I will see you blessed.

Patience...

My prayer:

Amazing God. I do not want to complain, I don't want to search out new depths of anything tonight. I only want to celebrate you tonight. I only want to love you tonight. I only want to focus on how amazing you are. You are everything, everywhere, and all powerful. 

One of the things that I love so about having you in my life is how you work everything out. A young friend needs to earn some money to buy a prom dress and you provide a short term job for her. A snow storm hits on a day when I have back to back meetings at work that can't be rescheduled, or more accurately  shouldn't be rescheduled, and you keep the roads clear during what was supposed to be a horrible blizzard. Then there are those flat out miracles where you heal busted up knees and broken down backs and so much more. 

Thank you for being you and always taking care of us!

What God Said Tonight:

How long will you wait? How long will you wait for me to speak? How long will you wait for me to move. 

The number one thing that keeps people from living out my promises for their lives is impatience. They get tired of waiting for it and they try to make it happen. They think they are helping me but they are not. I don''t need help to see my promises unfold in your life. I just need your agreement and your patience. 

Patience is a virtue. You will be amazed what you will see when you simply wait for me. Waiting is not fun, it is not sexy, it is not popular but it is necessary. I love you warts and all.

Good news bad news...

My prayer:

Well God, this was an interesting day with interesting challenges, that is for sure! What a crazy mix of good news, bad news, and bad news that might be good news and vice versa. It was kind of hard to keep up today. 

But here we are, just you and me and I can't wait to hear your news. I can't wait to hear your voice. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

All things work together for the good of those who love me. All things. No matter what the news, no matter the circumstances, I will work it for your good in the end. 

Joseph had a life of good news, bad news, but in the end, I elevated him to a position of great power that allowed him to save his family and eventually his people. 

It is when you don't give up on me, ride it out, that you get to see my purpose in all of the good and the bad news. I am the artist, the carver and the potter of your life and I will make sure that your life is a masterpiece.

Saying yes to everything...

My prayer:

I am confused tonight God. Way too many opinions competing for top spot right now. And the thing is, they all have the tremendous and wonderful goal of bringing people closer to you. But, can I, should I try to be a part of all of them or by trying to do it all am I actually short changing everyone including you and me? 

I sometimes envy the people who have that one thing they are really good at and passionate about and they spend their whole lives focused on perfecting that one thing. That is clearly not me. No matter where I go, I seem to get involved in 5 million different things and anything less feels like I am not contributing. Maybe I am just trying to make everyone happy again? I don't think so. I really just don't want to miss out on anything that you have for me. 

I pray for wisdom, direction, and understanding God. The rewards of seeing people get to know you are SO GREAT that it makes me want to say yes to everything. But maybe saying yes to everything means I am not really saying yes to anything? help please...

What God Said Tonight:

1. Have I ever, in your life, when you have asked for my help, have I ever not helped? 
2. Have you ever, in your life, not been able to accomplish everything that I have given you? 
3. Is there anything you are doing now that is contrary to my will? 
4. Finally, are you keeping the Sabbath holy? 

That is your checklist and your promises my girl. We have been here before and it is good that you take stock. 

Those are the questions you need to ask. Assure yourself first of my faithfulness. Hold up each thing to the microscope of my will and purpose. Measure your balance by the Sabbath. 

I love you sweet girl. You don't have to say yes to everything that everyone brings to you. You don't have to say yes to anything. I hope you will always say yes to me. Sweet dreams tonight my love.
