Windows of opportunities...

My prayer:

Thank you again God for healing me! I am back to 100% and you are a God of healing miracles!

I have a lot of jumbled thoughts in my mind tonight God. Things seem a bit unsettled. I feel like I am on the brink of a lot of changes which is always exciting but scary at the same time. Change sounds great when life is cruddy but when life is going pretty good, or even great, it is harder to get excited about change. 

What if I lose some of the greatness that you have put in my life? Will it be worth it? Is the new stuff (people, challenges, opportunities) worth giving up current stuff? It kind of goes back to that saying that Good is the enemy of Great. It is a whole lot harder to step out in faith and let go of a good life than it is to let go of a life that is not working. 

Ok, I just reread that and what a whiner I am! Forgive me God. 

Fact is I will go where you say go, do what you say to do and I know that it will always turn out for my good. Not only because you have promised it but also because you have shown me that time and time again. And, even if it didn't, I would rather be in your will than anything else. 

I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I give you windows of opportunities. Sometimes I give you doors but often I give you windows. You have to work to get out of a window. A door you can come and go as you please.

I am the God of opportunities.

Sickness and healing...

My prayer:

Thank you God for healing me today! When I got up this morning I had the beginning of a raging head cold but prayer and your healing power has me sitting here tonight at 98% normal and healthy. I thank you God in advance for completing the healing tonight!

I know it is just a head cold and some people wouldn't even pray about it but I know that you came to heal all of our sicknesses, not just the big ones. I intend to live every day of my life under your divine health and healing power!

Sickness makes me angry God. It is a sign of things not being right. Not being right in our bodies and not being right in the world the way you initially created it. When I think of how many people and how much time satan has stolen through sickness...I want to kick him in the teeth! 

So thank you God for the weapon of healing to combat sickness. Thank you for giving us the power and the authority over sickness in your name. YOU ARE ... EVERYTHING PERFECT!

What God Said Tonight:

Sickness definitely is a tool of the enemy to steal what rightfully belongs to you. It comes in many forms, all of them evil. 

But, also remember that sickness gives you an opportunity to experience my healing. It gives you the opportunity to experience a miracle. 

So, while sickness is definitely evil, I can use even sickness to bring about good in your life. I can change any situation into good. With faith, with prayer, with us agreeing, there is nothing that can stand against us. 

I love you daughter. Rest and wake up whole. 

Protected...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I am crazy about you and I am all yours. I don’t know a lot of things right now but I know that I am all yours and anything you want, anything you want to do, anything you want from me, I am all in.

I am more invested in your will for my life that I am invested in the desires of my heart. Truth is, I don’t trust my heart too much right now. I trust you infinitely more than I trust my own feelings.

So, guide me, lead me, direct me and help me to walk in your perfect will for my life. Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Life does not have to be frightening if I am with you. Trust me, lean on me, know that I will protect you. Know that I only want good things for you. Know that I will keep you from harm and I will keep a hedge of protection around you.

I hear your thoughts, what about the times you have been hurt in the past? Yes, sometimes people make decisions and the results of those decisions cause pain. But know that there is nothing that man can do to you that I cannot heal. There is nothing in this life that is more powerful than my ability to redeem.

You are mine and I will keep you safe. I will keep you whole. I will heal you when you need to be healed, I will redeem you when you need to be redeemed, and I will protect you always.

You are afraid because it is a season of change and you can’t see what is coming next. You don’t have to. I know what is coming next and I have fully prepared you. Rest in the complete assurance that I am in charge and I have you covered.

More...

My prayer:

Amazing and generous God. You have blessed me so much and I should be satisfied. I should be able to say, Thank you and leave it at that. But, I can’t. I want more. I want everything. I want every promise, not just the ones that seem realistic or that people think I should have. I want every blessing. I want it all.

Maybe I am being selfish? Or maybe I am being ambitious. I don’t know but no matter what I do, no matter how much I try to be content with the amazing things you have put in my life, the truth is, I am not. I want more.

God, forgive me if I am being selfish, prideful or anything else that is a sin. But truth is, I can’t change this. If it needs to change, I need you to change it in me. If it does not need to change, I need your help to live with it in peace.

What God Said Tonight:

I created you for more. You want more because you were created for more. All of my children are living with less than what I want for them.

Greater things than this shall you do. That, I know will sound familiar to you. You are going into a time where you will see that in your life. You are going into a time where you are going to see and have more than you ever could have imagined or thought of. And, it will still not be enough.

I put in you a hunger for more. I put in you a drive to reach beyond where you are. I need you to keep reaching, knowing that I will always have more for you.

Be content in the knowledge that I made you just like you are. Be content in the knowledge that you will always want more. And, be content in the knowledge that I will always have more for you. That is where your contentment lies.

I love you daughter and do not be concerned. This is part of your journey and you are going somewhere really good. 

Perfect love...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father! Thank you for all that you have been teaching me this weekend. Thank you for the reminders that it all comes down to your love.

I pray and ask God that everyone that meets me experiences your love. I pray and ask that you remove and heal any bitterness, anger, resentment, and unforgiveness within me so that nothing blocks my ability to love.

It really is the key to everything. I forget that sometimes but when I remember, it all seems so easy again! Teach me to love like you do God.

What God Said Tonight:

Living a life of my love is not easy. It is worth it but it is not easy. You have to choose, every day, every minute, every second that you will love and not hate, that you will forgive and not hold resentment. You have to love the unlovable, all the time. You have apologize when it is not your fault. You have to be willing to give of yourself for the benefit of your brother, even when the cost to you is very great.

Love costs something, always. Sometimes, love costs you your life. Love is not just a happy feeling, love gives, love sacrifices, love is patient and kind. Love makes sure that the other person has everything they need before considering what you need.

I can and will continue to teach you to love. I will mostly teach you through example. See what my love does in our life and do that for other people. Love will make a way every time. Love is the answer, every time.

Perfect love creates a universe. Perfect love creates you.

Play...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day of rest God. It was just what I needed. I had a good time playing tonight. I don’t do that enough. I am anxious to hear your voice…

What God Said Tonight:

Play is important. Joy is important. Laughter is important. I know that there are many serious things in your life right now but don’t forget to play and enjoy the pleasures I have given you.

Blessings are not blessings if they are not used. Joy is an empty word if it is not expressed.

Enjoy your life.

Never alone...

My prayer:

Wonderful YOU! Thank you God for spending time with me every day. Thank you for being with me always but thank you especially for letting me experience your presence and hear your voice every day.

I would be so lonely and lost without you. I don’t ever want to be without you again. Life is too hard to live it alone.

What God Said Tonight:

You are never alone with me in you. You know me and you know my voice. You have invited me to live inside of you. You keep me first in your life and you always take some time to focus on me, to seek me each day.

That is a recipe for a strong relationship. That shows me that you are invested in our relationship. That is what will keep us close forever.

I love you and I will never leave you. Your ability to recognize that depends almost entirely on you. Seek me and you will find me, every time, I promise.
