Survival...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Getting to the end of this day is a miracle. Getting up in time for and getting through tomorrow is my hope. It seems a little pitiful that just surviving is the goal right now but it is what it is. Thank you for helping me survive. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Survival is not such a pitiful goal. I need you for many things yet on this earth and to accomplish them, you must survive this current battle. 

In the battle, I will bless you. On the other side of the battle you will be stronger and more prepared for what comes next. But, right now, lean on me and get through each day. I will see you through. I will work everything for your good. Lean on me and survive. 

I love you sweet child of mine.

Habit of thankfulness...

My prayer:

Thank you God for doing your time stretching thing with today. I was able to get a lot done, have some fun, and rest, which did not seem possible when I looked at the "to do" list this morning. 

Thank you for healing two of my friends this weekend. Your healing power always leaves me in awe. Thank you for being you and for loving me. Really, that is the key to everything else. Because you are you and because you love me, my life is pretty amazing. 

Sometimes I forget or get complacent but today, I want  you to know that I see who you are and what you did and I am grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

I don't need your recognition for my sake but I do need it for your sake. I need you to remind yourself of what I have done and what I am doing. It is those reminders that help you through the tough times. 

When you get in the habit of gratefulness, when you look for the opportunities to be thankful, it becomes a habit for you. That habit will carry you through the good days and the bad ones. It will help you to find the hope in me. It will remind you of my love for you. It will remind you of how I have taken care of you. 

Make thankfulness a habit, not for me but for you.

Real change...

My prayer:

God, I am out of words and thoughts. Everything that I can think of to talk about seems so petty and meaningless. Maybe tonight should be more about listening than talking. Love you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I saw your real struggle tonight and it is the struggle you have been wrestling with for awhile. It is the struggle of change. 

The only true and lasting change comes from me. You know this. But I will not make lasting change in someone's life unless they want it. That is why so many things can change but the people do not. 

I have created a universe that is in a constant state of change, but man, you, have free will and the ability to stop me from changing you, stop me from healing you. I have given you that power and that responsibility. I never meant for it to hurt you but many of my children who I love so dearly,  use it to keep me out. 

Use your free will to let me in. Let me change the things in you that you don't like. Let me in to heal what is broken and restore what was taken.

Opportunities...

My prayer:

Thank you God for divine appointments! I love how I can just be walking through my day and suddenly, there is an opportunity to let someone know how much you love them. YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have so many opportunities in front of you all of the time. I am grateful for when you recognize them. But know that there are many more that are waiting for you to see them. 

I bring you, in every breath of your life, the opportunity to love people and share my love with them. Just make sure to get out of your tunnel vision once and a while and you will see them. They are all around you and desperate for my love. 

I love you.

Destination...

My prayer:

We made it!!! Thank you Jesus!!! This was quite a week but tomorrow is Friday and Sunday's a comin' (as they say)! 

Thank you for strength, favor, guidance and direction. You are wonderful and I have joy and peace in the middle of the craziness ONLY because I have you in me and I get to call on you any time. 

I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Your life and your path have a destination but there are many ways to get there. Some are more direct and some are more circuitous but they all get you to the destination. 

Your destination is solid, it is secured. You are ending in heaven with me for eternity. I have a special place picked out for you. I have build you a house and it waits for you. Never doubt the destination. It is the path to get there which you get to make choices. 

Those choices determine much of your experience on the journey. I love watching you make those choices and I love blessing you in your choices. I love pouring out favor on you. I love putting you in the right pace at the right time. I love seeing what you do with all of that. 

It is the joy of a proud parent watching their child grow and mature. Let's have some more fun tomorrow.

God wins...

My prayer:

Mighty and amazing God of all creation. I am spent from the long hours this week. Not sure my thoughts are even making sense. But I love you and I am always ready to listen...

What God Said Tonight:

I walked through the valley of the shadow of death and death lost. I took on the sickness of all humanity and sickness lost. I took on sin of everyone whoever was or ever will be and sin lost. 

When anything comes against me, it loses. I am for you so, when anything comes against you, it will lose. 

I will see you blessed and prospered. I will see your enemies defeated. I will never let you down. 

Sleep now and let me watch over you. My protection is foolproof and forever.

Provider...

My prayer:

Sometimes the experience of life is pure joy. It does not happen often, but once in awhile, when even though I know that not everything is right, there is still this moment of pure bliss. I love those moments God. I love when you pour out peace, love and joy that over power anything that is going on. 

Thank you for your overpowering presence!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your everything. You can count on me for everything you need and everything you want. I am your all. I am your provider. I am your salvation. I am the love that conquers all. I am your saviour. 

What do you need right now? I am that. 

I love you and I will never tire of providing for you. It is my great joy, whatever your need. Lean on me in all things and I will provide for you.
