Discouraged...

My prayer:

I am tired. Mind, body, soul tired. God, I ask for new enthusiasm. Remind me what is important and why I am here? Remind me why it is all worth it? I am sorry to sound so down tonight. I just need some help remembering.

What God Said Tonight:

I can bring to your memory every person you touched, through me and helped. I can bring to your memory every sunshine filled trail and mountain we have climbed together. I can bring to your memory the joy of a puppy's or child's face looking to you for everything. 

There is much love in  your life. There is much left to do. You will get tired. You will get worn out. Your enthusiasm will wane. But, you have me living in you so you will never completely be spent. You will always have a litle more. 

Things are not working out how you thought they might right now. You are discouraged. It has sapped your energy and drive. But, tomorrow, there will be new dreams to dream. There will be new joy to experience. There will be new hope. I am in you and with you and I am not done with you yet. I love you.

Confused...

My prayer:

I am confused God, about a lot of things. I am confused about my feelings, the things I want and don't want. I am confused by this path we are on where I think you are trying to teach me that some things need to be done completely by you and I need to only trust and wait. Is that really what you are telling me or am I just being lazy? 

But you are not the author of confusion. You know the end from the beginning and you are never confused. God, I ask and pray for clarity tonight. Please clear the confusion and replace it with your peace, your clarity, your wisdom for my life.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You are confused because you are trying to reconcile what you know I am telling you now with what you have been taught in the past. Not all of the teaching you have had was bad but it was for a certain time. This time, this season needs a different level of trust. It needs a different level of understanding and obedience. 

You served me well and you served me hard. Those were days of hard work and great reward. The season we are in now is more about me helping you. It is about me healing you. It is about me redeeming and restoring you. 

I know that is hard for you. I know that you would rather give and help than be helped. But this, this is something you can't do for yourself. This is something that no one else can do for you. This is something only I can heal. This is something that I came to earth and sacrificed my life for. 

You have done all that you can do. Now it is my turn. You are not being lazy, you are being receptive. Receive what I have for you. Receive what I bought for you. I did it all for you and for this time. 

Spending time with God...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the strength and endurance to make it through the many challenges and opportunities this week. I am ready to rest with you tomorrow. Let's do something wonderful together, ok? Love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I love my time with you. Anything we do together is wonderful for me. I am your Father, creator and Lord, so anywhere we are together, I am happy. I don't need a lot of pomp and circumstance. I do not need a lot of fanfare. I just need you and me and quiet moment to meld together. 

I just need a few moments for you to clear your mind and to fill it with my thoughts. I just need a little time set aside so I can love on you. You are my heart, my love and I love spending time with you. 

You pick the spot. I will be there.

Lead me...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray and ask for more discernment and wisdom. There is a lot going on and I want to be sure that I am following your plan. I am doing my best but I just want to be sure. Life is exciting right now and I love that. You know I hate it when things are boring. But with that excitement comes some worry that I might mess it all up. Guide me, direct me, help me to be in your perfect will. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have never left you. I am the one who is opening the opportunities in front of you. I am the one who is blessing and prospering you. I am the one who is turning all things to your good. Follow my lead, follow the open doors and you will be following me. 

Your life is blessed, ordained and you are made in my image. You are my child. You will naturally follow me when you trust the inner Spirit that I have put in you to help you. 

Never lose touch with my Holy Spirit. It is truly there to help you every step of the way. My salvation covers you, but my Holy Spirit guides you and teaches you. 

I am with you always and I love you more than you will ever know.

Chains...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Thank you for hearing my many prayers today. Some were quick pleas for help. Some were focussed and intentional. Some were questions. Some were just checking in. 

I love that you are never more than a prayer away. Whenever I need you, whenever I want you, you are always right there. I think I take that for granted sometimes but I want you to know how much I appreciate it. 

You are my lifeline, my reason that I can get through each day. You are my hope, my joy, my Lord and I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Chains that held you down today will be broken tomorrow. Things that are holding you back are being broken off of you. We are walking into an amazing future together and you will walk into it free. 

I am your Lord, I am your hope. I am also your future. I am in you and you are in me, now and forever. We make a good team! 

God is on your side...

My prayer:

No words tonight really God but I come with a grateful heart and an open ear...

What God Said Tonight:

That is something I can work with my daughter. Grateful and willing hearts, open ears, that is an awfully good start. 

I love you, now and forever. I am completely on your side. No matter the situation, no matter who is against you, I am always on your side. I am loyal to you. I will never be against you. No matter what you do or where you go, I am always on your side. 

God of miracles...

My prayer:

Wow God. 90 minutes of sleep last night and somehow you got me through a full day of work in one piece! Now that is a miracle! 

Thank you God for the everyday miracles. I love the big flashy miracles, don't get me wrong. But tonight I want to say thank you for the sweet everyday miracles that sometimes go unnoticed. Thank you for protecting me in a world that is so crazy dangerous. Thank you for giving me the strength and stamina to face every challenge that today threw at me. Thank you for the extension on the move out deadline for my friends. Thank you for being with me all day God. And, thank you for meeting me here tonight.

I love you and can't wait for the miracle of hearing your voice...

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is a miracle. Your salvation is a miracle. Your love is a miracle. Truly, with all of the odds against you in this life, just breathing one more breath is a miracle. 

But, I am the God of miracles. They are how I move. I don't need you to conger up a miracle from me. I just need you to believe and to wait. Your miracles are all on the way. 

There really are no big miracles or small miracles. Every miracle is  big to someone. I love you daughter. Get some rest.
