Uncomfortable...

My prayer:

Off. Everything just feels about 5 degrees left of center God. Nothing horrible, just not quite right. It is uncomfortable. I am itching for the next new thing, that is for sure. But this seems different. Something is off.  

God, I ask for wisdom. Help me to understand what is going on and what, if anything I should do. Thanks for always letting me bring you anything, no matter how vague or how weird. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I am in you and you are in me. Everything else is just details. 

Nothing is really off. You are only preparing to move, to change. You are sensing that things are not going to stay as they are and part of you is already ready. 

I didn't really create you to be comfortable all the time. Yes, we have seasons of rest and peacefulness. But more often, we will be working striving, changing. Now, you will have peace in those seasons as well, if you are centered on me and trusting in me. But you will not always be comfortable. 

Sometimes, being uncomfortable is exactly what you need to do the next thing. To move forward. To grow. Be excited about being uncomfortable. It is your signal that things are about to change, and I know how you like change. 

I love you daughter and do not fear. I am in this, I am in you, we are right on track.

God never leaves...

My prayer:

Hi wonderful God! Today was an interesting mix of mini challenges. Thank you for the moments of joy and blessing. Thank you for the kind words spoken to me today. Thank you for the young boy who went out of his way to hold open a door for me today. Thank you for the million little things that let me know that you think I am special. Thank you God that you gave me the eyes to see the little blessings. Thank you for showing me your love in the little things today.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you always. I tell you that a lot but I need you to remember it. 

I am with you in the big events of life and I am with you in the quiet silences of life. I am with you in joy and in pain. I am with you in every circumstance. 

I don't leave when it is hard and I don't leave when you get angry. I don't leave when you sin. I don't leave when you forget me. I don't leave you. 

I love when you focus on me and strive to know me better. But I am here whether you strive or not. Rest in me tonight and know my love will never leave you.

The path to greatness...

My prayer:

Absolutely nothing profound on my mind tonight God but I want to hang out with you, hear what you have to say. I love you and I love your voice, your words.

What God Said Tonight:

I have started many great things that when they started, no one realized they were great. There are many things in your everyday life that seem insignificant to you now but will become the starting point of greatness. There are other things that you think are so important right now, but you will later realize that they were not important at all. 

I will lead and guide you if you listen. I already know the end of this. I know how it turns out. Let me guide you through, avoid the land mines, and keep you safe. Trust my timing. Trust my path. It does not always seem right from where you sit and from what you know but in the end, you will see the wisdom in it. 

Hang on daughter. Do not get discouraged. Do not give up. Stick with me and I will being you through. I love you so much. I will not let you down.

Nothing is wasted...

My prayer:

Take me somewhere tonight God. I need a change of scenery. I need to get out of the same old same old, if even just for a few moments. I love you. Take me somewhere with you tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Where would you like to go? There are so many options. I can take you to the heavens and show you my life there. I can take you to the beginning and show you how it started. I can take you to the end and show you how it ends.

I can take you anywhere and anywhen you want to go; but, we will have to return here. To this place and this time because here is where I need you and now is when I need you here.

I do not waste moments and I do not waste lives. Those of you who give you life to me, I take that as a very serious responsibility. I keep it safe and well cared for because of who I am. 

Rest...

My prayer:

We made it God. There were several times this week that I was not sure I would, but here we are Friday night, in one piece and generally in my right mind! 

Thanks for bringing me through another tough week. I enjoyed the challenges. It definitely was NOT boring! 

Love you God and can't wait to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

I have really only one job for you for the next twenty four hours. Rest. Rest in me. Dwell with me. But rest. 

I need you full, not empty. I need you fueled and ready.

 For right now, just rest. I love you. I have so much for you. When you are drained and empty, I can't get to you everything I need to. 

Rest in my love. rest in my peace. Rest in the assurance that I am taking care of everything. I love you, go and rest.

Damage...

My prayer:

People can be so complicated. God, so many of us go through this life and get so damaged. Then we take out our damage on each other. We don't even mean to half the time but we do. And then, we create more damage. 

God, you are the God of Restoration, of Healing. I pray for your Restoration and Healing to cover our lives, our hearts and our spirits so we can be blessings to each other and not damage each other. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A world without damage, hurt and pain, that sounds like paradise. I have for you a future that is pure good without pain. But that future is still a hands breadth away. 

In the meantime, you can practice loving each other. You can practice not damaging each other. You won't always get it right and sometimes you will get it really wrong; but, it will help prepare you for the paradise I have for you. 

Practice is not meant to be perfect. If you were perfect you would not need the practice. Practice love every chance you get. As you do, you will see less hurt, less pain and less damage in you and in the people around you. 

I know sometimes I sounds like a broken reeord but the answer truly is, almost every time, LOVE.

God with us...

My prayer:

My God. I want to hear your voice tonight. That is really all I want. Talk to me and let me know that you are here with me.

What God Said Tonight:

You know that I am always with you daughter. You never need to question that. I have come to be with you, now and forever. I have come in the form of the Holy Spirit for this time, this season. There will be a time and a season where I will come as Father and will I will come as Son. For now, I am here in Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit may not be seen easily in a physical way; however, it's presence, my presence could not be more real and could not be more powerful. 

I have come to you in this form to help you. I have  come to show you the way through this life. I have come to be with you. I couldn't stand being apart from my children any more. 

I had to find a way to be with you. So, I first came as Son and sacrifice. Then I came as Spirit and helper. Soon I will come in all of my glory. That will be a truly great day!
