Waiting...

My prayer:

My attitude stinks tonight God so how about I keep my mouth shut and listen to you instead? 

What God Said Tonight:

Seasons my child. You know about seasons. I know that the season of waiting is never your favorite, but there is value in the waiting. 

There can be peace and rest in the waiting. I am waiting with you if that helps. 

I have things perfectly planed out and the timing is important. The waiting is not too much longer. The waiting is a space to prepare. It is a time to get your things in order so we can go full speed when it is time. Check your life for things that need to be put in place. It will make the waiting go faster.

Healing the hurts...

My prayer:

Wonderful night with you and good friends God! 

God, open my eyes that I can see all of you. Open my ears that I can hear everything that you have to say. Open my heart to receive all that you have for me. Open my mind that I can understand you. I want to know all of you, every aspect, every nuance, every angle that makes up who you are. 

Help me to know you better.

What God Said Tonight:

I am an open book, literally. My nature is on display for all to see. My presence is available to all, all the time. 

You sometimes get blocked by the hurt and pain that gets you wrapped up and behind walls. It makes it harder for you to see me, harder for you to hear me. Let me in to heal the hurt, then you can remove the bandages, tear down the walls and see me fully. 

Let me in to the hurts that you don't even think that you can face, let alone share them with me. I promise, there is no hurt that is bigger or stronger than my healing power. Let me heal the broken parts and you will see me, hear me, feel me, experience me more clearly than every before. 

I love you so much my child, now and forever.

Extraordinary...

My prayer:

My thoughts are a jumble tonight God. I am not sure even how to organize them enough to talk to you about them. I hope that you hear my heart tonight because my words and thoughts are not really going to be enough. 

I have a great life. You have provided so many blessings in my life, amazing people, your peace, your joy, a great job, undeserved favor. It is a really great life. It is a pretty stable life too. Which is good and I am extremely grateful. But, I want more. 

More excitement, more life changing experiences, more you. The day to day drudgery of life is just not enough. I want my life to matter, everyday. I want to see people amazed at your power, love, and kindness, everyday. I want to walk under an open heaven, everyday!

Does that make me crazy, greedy, both? Probably. I just don't think I was wired for ordinary. I want extraordinary!

What God Said Tonight:

Extraordinary comes with it's own set of problems but it is where you were created to live. I have an extraordinary life for you. It takes some work to find it. It takes some time to reveal it. But it is there and always has been. It is all around you. 

You change more lives than you know right now. But I understand, you want the full package. We are going there, we will get to that place of miraculous living together. You will see into spiritual realms like never before. You will pray and my promises will manifest, immediately in the physical. You will see great change in the world and in people. 

My life, my Spirit is in you. With the Spirit of the living God of all creation within you, how can your life be ordinary? 

I love you and I promise that what you see today is not all that there is. I promise that tomorrow will be new. I promise that you have not done and experienced all that I have for you yet. I love you.

One with God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am loving the insight you are downloading in me lately! Such joy and freedom in this stuff!

I have started to realize over the last few days that when I truly see you and me as one, suddenly life and the struggles of life become something we approach together instead of something I have to figure out. 

In particular, when I am being tempted by sin, by something that I know will likely result in negative consequences, in the past I would have tried to resist with my own self will and determination. I would try to use my logic or behavioral modification techniques to resist. 

Now that I am beginning to realize that I am one with you, I take the struggle to you and ask you how we are going to handle it. I realize that you are facing the same challenge, the same temptation because you are in me. I see us approaching the challenge as a team, together, as one. 


There is great comfort and I am betting, much greater success in this approach than trying to figure it out myself. It also provides freedom from guilt and beating myself up for being tempted in the first place which is such a waste of time and so damaging. 

Thank you God for being in me and me in you. Thank you for helping me to better understand what that means. I LOVE THIS JOURNEY WE ARE ON!!

What God Said Tonight:

The journey is one of faith and love. The journey is one where we get to know each other and fall more in love than ever. 

Falling in love is wonderful. Staying in love is powerful. 

We are in this together. You never have to face anything on your own ever again because I truly am in you and you are in me. Everything that  you face, good, bad, indifferent for the rest of eternity is something that we face together. You are never alone.

Change of plans...

My prayer:

Change of plans...that seemed to be the theme of today. But, that is ok. I know that you are in charge and you will work all things to my good. I am fully convinced of your goodness and your love for me and therefore, I am in perfect peace. 

I had a couple of moments where I wanted to try to take charge to work things out the way I want them to be but heard you clearly God to let it be. 

Trusting in you and your plan. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I got this.

Paths vs. rice...

My prayer:

God, I have never in my life felt so many "compulsions" to do things as I do right now. I am acting on them too and they seem to be working out. I just REALLY hope they are from you. I really hope that I am not going down paths that will result in pain, hurt, devastation. 

It has really just been in the last week or so that I have begun to recognize how much of my life, my decisions are based on the fear of messing things up. Life is really good right now and has been for awhile. I don't want to mess that up. But, I also believe that you have more for me, for us, and you don't usually get more or move forward without action. 

God, if I am not on your path, if I am making a path independent of you, PLEASE make it clear to me and help me to get on your path. If I am on your path or a path that you can at least work with, I pray for peace to know I should keep on keeping on.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is not a single path moving forward. Your life is like a pile of rice with many millions of components interacting at any given time. Your only destination is up. Your only destination is me. 

I can and do work with whatever decisions you make, whatever "paths" you take. I will guide you and lead you, I will nudge you  once in a while because I love you and because you are listening. But, truthfully, worry less about your decisions and spend more time focused on us, you and me. Every second you spend focused on our relationship will yield more than piles of "right" decisions. 

Give me your time, your attention, your thoughts, your heart, and I will give you the opportunities, the joy, the peace, the relationships, and the provision you need. You will have true shalom. nothing missing nothing lacking. That will be your life as you get your mind truly stayed on me. 

I love you daughter and I will take care of you, wherever you go and whatever you do. I promise.

Beginning...

My prayer:

Thanks for a wonderful day God. I had so much fun today! Start to finish, this was a great day with great people doing great stuff. How great is my God?! 

Love you God and I am sitting here tonight with only one thing missing, hearing your voice before I go to sleep...

What God Said Tonight:

I have many more days like today for you daughter. I have great joy stored up for you. I have great adventure planned for you. I have great power and anointing to pour out on you. 

Your life is only now beginning. Everything that you have done, experienced, and learned has led you to this time and place for a specified reason. My calling on your life has never been more clear and never more important. 

Keep your eyes firmly fixed on me. Keep you mind clear and ready to receive knowledge. Keep your heart whole and soft. Your kindness will heal your wounds. Your generosity will make your provision. 

Love you my daughter.
