God's timing...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Thank you for all of your help today. It was another challenging day but it seemed like I came out on top of the challenges more often than not today. I was able to help a few people which is always awesome. Still in survival mode for sure but felt like I was the head more often than the tail today. 

How was your day? Did anything great happen? Did any of us remember to bless you? 

I love you God and just in case no one said it today, you are wonderful, amazing, incredible, and everything I could ever hope for!

What God Said Tonight:

Back to basics. Sometimes it is important to revisit your foundational learning and shore up your base. Remember who you are and who you belong to. remember that no matter the circumstances you are the head and not the tail and that I will destine you to succeed. I am always o your side. 

My day was good and filled with blessings and challenges. And, my day is not over. My day is never really over. I am the God of the universe and the Father to humankind, I am omnipresent, at all places at all times. It is always day somewhere so my day never ends. 

That is one thing that you will want to understand. I know you have questioned the timing in my word and you have questioned my timelines. One of the reasons we don't think of time the same way is that my day never ends and my night never ends. I am continually present in both time periods at the same time. I am everywhere at all times. It is why I can say I will never leave you. Where you are, I am. 

Practice being a blessing...

My prayer:

Ok God. So, you definitely warned me that a challenge was on the way but I didn't realize you meant today! Weehaw today was ridiculously crazy, hard, and whatever other word for bad that I can't think of right now because I used every brain cell I had today just to survive. Maybe we made it through and tomorrow will be easier? I hope so. 

I pray for your continued help God. 

The thing that I hate about days like this is it drains me so much that I have nothing left to give away. I don't treat people with the love and care that I want to and I should. I am so busy trying to survive and make it through that I don't have time, energy, or power to help anyone else. I don't like me when I get like that. 

God, please make me a blessing to the people around me. Otherwise, why am I here?

What God Said Tonight:

Practice being a blessing. Practice being kind, and thoughtful and giving. The more you practice that during the good times the more likely you are to act that way, out of instinct, in the hard times. 

You don't have to be in a good mood to be generous. You don't have to have overflow to give to someone else. It is easier, absolutely but not necessary. 

As long as I am in you you will always have something more to give. Keep me in you. Let them see me in you, even when you are not at your best. Especially when you are not at your best. Put on my armor and let them see me. 

Your challenges are not over but neither is my help. I will be with you every step of the way, now and forever. Be at peace and know that I am God, I am on your side, and I will see you victorious every time.

Wisdom for the challenge...

My prayer:

Wonderful teacher. Every time I turned around today, people who I care about and who care about me were praying for me to have wisdom. Which is wonderful, I can always use more wisdom. But, it makes me wonder what you are up to or what I am up against next. What is it that is going to require me to have all this wisdom? 

I guess I am not really expecting you to tell me but it makes me curious. Then again, I am almost always curious. Maybe those two things go hand in hand?

Either way God, I will gladly and gratefully receive all the wisdom you want to pour out on me. Thank you for always giving me just what I need just when I need it.

What God Said Tonight:

I do have a challenge coming up for you but I am preparing you for it. You will have every tool and every weapon you need for this challenge. You will have the wisdom you need. You will have the strength you need. 

All you will need to do is stay focused on me, use the gifts I have given you and you will walk through the battle with no harm and no serious effort. You will walk through it already triumphant. 

Those that cheered you on in the past will be silent and those who were against you will rally behind you. It is not going to make a lot of sense to your rational mind but use the wisdom that I will give you and you will understand. 

You will know what I know about the activities in this spiritual realm. You will see in the places that no person can go. You will walk into the prophesies from the past. You are paving the way for the future.

Grow where you are...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day with family today God. Thank you for healing Mom's shoulder on the trail. Feeling you pop it back into joint was very cool! 

I have a lot of other thoughts running through my mind tonight God but nothing worth talking about. I would rather just listen to you. I love to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Every where you go, you see the plants of this earth growing. Even in areas covered in concrete, they find a way through. Why do they work so hard to grow where there planted and my children, who have many more gifts and abilities, fail to grow where they are planted?

I hear your prayers, 'move me, put me in position, guide me.' Tonight I tell you, grow where you are. I will move you in time. I will guide you always. I will position you for greatness. Those are all things I have promised and I will come through for you. While I am working those things you, grow where you are planted. Do all that you can right where you are. Find the opportunities and open doors that I have right now right in front of you. 

It may not be the immediate fulfillment to your dream but it will work you toward it. Your diligence and your faithfulness to what you have now will make a way for you to your future. 

I need more...

My prayer:

I want you to be enough for me. Nothing missing and nothing lacking. But I need more. I need more than I have right now. Maybe that means I need more of you. I don't know but I need more. 

I ache God. I feel like what I need is just beyond my fingertips and I can't or won't grab onto it. What is blocking me God?

What God Said Tonight:

I have left a legacy for you . I have left a purpose and a plan for you to live out in whatever way you want to. I have given you gifts and talents with the hope you will use them for my kingdom but I don't require it. 

There are many things that are clamoring for you attention and you time. There are many things that want to take you from me right now. You make the choice. All of it is your choice. I am not a prison warden. I have no desire to shackle you to a path that you do not want. I want to see you running free in the field. I want to see you living out your dreams. I just hope that I am in your dreams. 

I know you want me to lead you and guide you. I know you want me to give the answers that you are missing right now. But, sometimes the journey of discovering the answers is as important as having the answers. I will show you the way. And, if you choose to follow, you will have the answers you seek. You will fill the hole that you feel. 

I could fill the hole tonight. I could fill it right now. But you would be deprived of the experience of seeking and finding the answer that will last the rest of eternity. I want to see you healed fully. I am not interested in band aids. You are so desperate to have the hole filled but the hole makes you humble and vulnerable and that makes you teachable and lovable. 

My forever God...

My prayer:

THANK YOU GOD!!! What you did for me today was so amazing!! You redeemed my mistake so wonderfully!! You said to leave the closed door closed, I did and you made it all ok. Better than ok, you got all the money back plus a free upgrade!! THANK YOU!!! 

You are so good to me God. I love you and I am in awe of you. I am so crazy grateful that I get to be with you for an eternity. I never have to say good bye to you. Everyone, everything else in my life, at some point I will have to say good bye. Either for a temporary period of forever, I will have to say good bye. You are forever. I never have to say good bye to you. YEA!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your forever God. I was, I am and I will always be. My commitment to you, my covenant is for eternity and will never end. My love for you will outlast all existence. I am yours now and forever. 

You only lose me when you walk away away from me. When you choose to say good bye. I don't ever leave and I will be right here waiting for you when you come back. 

Rambling with God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have no idea what to talk about tonight. 

What a wild week. I am grateful that you have gotten me through to nearly Friday. I will definitely need your help tomorrow. Several challenges that I know about (probably lots more that I don't know about). 

God, I am so dependent on you. Sometimes I feel weak because I know I can't do anything worthwhile without you. But you say that being totally dependent on you is a good thing. You tell me that it is when I am completely reliant on you, that we can do the impossible together. And, since I seem to have impossible situations in my life on a regular basis, it is a good thing you are there to make the impossible possible. 

Ok, I am rambling now. I should have stuck with "I don't know what to talk about." Fact is, I am crazy about you and so unbearably grateful for you in my life. My life has no meaning, no purpose, no power, and no joy without you. Love you Daddy!!

What God Said Tonight:

You can ramble with me anytime my daughter. Truth is, I simply enjoy spending time with you. You are the apple of my eye and I am happiest when I get to spend time with my children while they are focused on me. 

I am interested in every thought that you have. I am invested in every desire of your heart. I am a part of every emotion that you experience. When you hurt, I hurt. When you celebrate, I celebrate. 

I love you more than you will ever know. It is a love that goes deeper than actions and will last forever. I will always work on your behalf because you are my beloved. 

You may find yourself doubting most everything in life at one time or another. You will question what is real and what is not. The one thing that you do not ever have to question or wonder about is my love for you. My love for you is more real than the chair you are sitting on. My love for you will last longer than the mountains. My love for you is rooted in our relationship and will only grow stronger and bigger the longer we are together.
