God's trust...

My prayer:

Wonderful day God, thank you! I am completely exhausted but want to hear your voice. Is there anything you want to talk about tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I have entrusted to you your purpose. I have entrusted to you the people that I have put in your life. I have entrusted you with a message of pure love and grace. 

I do not place trust lightly. I have carefully chosen those that I will trust with particular parts of the overall plan. Your role is broad but specific. 

Keep and ear open to me, no matter where you are or what you are doing. Right now is a time that I may need you at a moments notice. I have the hands and feet to do what I need. I have the willing hearts. I will see this done. 

Giraffe blessing...

My prayer:

Counting my blessings tonight God. You have been very generous to me. 

You have brought amazing people into my life that bless me, add to my life, and make me a better person. You have provided for all of my needs and given me enough so I can help out others who are in need. You have given me strength, joy, purpose and peace. 

Thank you God for a full and fulfilling life.

What God Said Tonight:

I gave the giraffe a long neck so he could eat from the top of the trees and not have to compete with all of the animals who were eating the leaves lower down. That is how I bless my children too. 

I don't bless you all the same. Not because I don't love you all. I love each of my kids more than any of them can imagine. I bless my kids differently so there is room for everyone's blessing. 

If everyone got the same blessing, it would no longer be a blessing, it would be expected, required. But, when you get one blessing and your neighbor gets a different blessing, it remains special, it remains a blessing. 

Trust me to know what will bless you. Not your neighbor, not your brother, but you. I will always give you good gifts, that are meant just for you.

No fear...

My prayer:

I don't know what to talk about tonight God. Not that there is not a lot going on because there is. But, there is so much going on that really, all I can do is trust you and walk in love like you always tell me to. 

I mean, you told us, we would hear of wars and rumors of wars. You told us about the crazy weather patterns. You told us about all of this. So, as frightening as it all is, I am choosing every day not to be afraid but to trust that you know what you are doing and that all of this will work out for our good. 

Help me to stick to that choice. Help me to trust. God, give me your peace.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your rock, the cornerstone of your faith. I am what you have built your life on. I have led you every step of the way and I have shown you great things. I have never led you into terror. I have never led you astray. And I never will. 

The world is blowing up around you. A thousand may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand but they shall not come near you. I have you protected. I have my children protected. In these worst of times, which you have not seen yet, I have a place for my remnant. 

I have a protection plan for your lives. I will keep you safe in the storm. I will comfort you and care  for you, like any good Father would. 

I love you daughter. Do not be afraid. I am still here and I am not leaving. I am your God, your Lord, your Father and I will care for you all ways. 

Right standing...

My prayer:

So...I could have handled this day a whole lot better. Instead of trusting in you, I was trying to do it on my own and ended up frustrated and disappointed. I know better God.

God, forgive me for my quick temper. Forgive me for not walking in love. Forgive me God for forgetting that you will and always do take care of everything, no matter how rotten it might look at the time. 

What God Said Tonight:

Your forgiveness was already paid for. You are in right standing with me. 

Now, you may want to make some apologies to be in right standing with the people around you. You never need to worry about me and whether I am on your side. You never need to worry about me giving you another chance. I always will. I sacrificed my life to make sure that you always have another chance. But people, people don't always have the same approach. 

Make amends with the people in your life and I will take care of the rest. You are blessed and highly favored my daughter, now and forever.

God's guidance...

My prayer:

Awesome God. So many of us are so often seeking you for guidance. We want you to tell us what to do, where to work, who to marry, etc., etc. But, I think maybe we over think it too much? I think that what I hear from you is that you will guide us always and that you will turn all things to the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose. If that is true I think that maybe I should spend more time trusting that you have things under control and less time worrying whether I am making the right decisions. Right? 

But even as I say that, I can hear doubt and fear saying, "But what if you get it wrong? What if you mess it all up? Then you are going to suffer. Do you want to suffer? You better make the right choices." 

God, help me to hear your voice over the voices of doubt and fear. Help me to trust more and worry less. Give me the confidence to know that you are guiding me and that with your help, you will lead me where I need to go and turn all things to my good.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I was the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. Back when I was kept separate from my people because of sin, I had to guide them with obvious and outward manifestations of my power. 

Now, now that you have been redeemed and I am in you and you are in me, I don't have to do that any more. I can guide you from within. I can show you through your thoughts, your heart, your spirit, the choices that will work out best. Listen to me from within you and you will always know the choices to make. 

But, when you miss it,when you don't make the choice that I would have you make, you can still rest. I am still with you. I can still work it all out. Yes, there may be some earthly consequences to deal with but I will be with you even in those things. I will get you through,  and as you said, I will turn things around for your good. 

I am your loving Father and Lord and I will always take care of you. Trust my power and my omnipotence to lead your life. I am God and I will not let you down.

God's love...

My prayer:

Wonderful God, I am not really in the mood to talk tonight but always ready to listen. Thank you for such a wonderful and relaxing day!

What God Said Tonight:

I have a message for you tonight and it is not new but is is vital. 

I love you. Not just the kind of love that you experience every day with the people in our life but I love you with a love that has died for you. I love you with a love that comes from creating you. 

I am so into everything about you that I can't even express to you the depth of it. Sometimes you get a sense of it but my love for you is bigger and greater than you can ever know. 

If you could just understand that love, you would never worry, you would never doubt, you would never have another care for the rest of eternity because you would know that my love will never fail you. You would know that I will never allow you to suffer, I will always find a way out for you. My love will always be enough.

God is like the ocean...

My prayer:

What a wonderful night of worship God! I don't know why it still amazes me, but every time we slow down enough and focus on you, you do the most amazing things! Thank you for the words of wisdom, love and support tonight. Thank you for such amazing friendships and prayer partners. Thank you for always showing up and being amazing!!

What God Said Tonight:

You are like the pebbles and the sand on the beach and I am like the ocean washing over you. I am always present but there are times when I move and you notice me more. 

When I move, the circumstances change. When I move, the people around you move. When I move, you move. Once I have moved, everything looks different. The same things are still there but it is in a completely different place. 

Let me move in your life and I will rearrange the things that are out of place. I will quench your thirst. I will fuel your fire.
