Do not be afraid...

My prayer:

Dearest God of all creation on heaven and earth. I come to you tonight as this country I live in is in turmoil, or at least that is the way the news is making it look. Just yesterday I was complaining that we have become too apathetic as a society. Well, these folks who are rioting are not apathetic.

I just pray for your peace in this situation. I pray for your protection around your children God. I pray that you help us to find a path that leads away from violence and toward reconciliation. 

Not that I am against change or standing up for change. I actually think that is pretty great. I am just concerned that people are going to get hurt in the process. 

What God Said Tonight:

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but do not be afraid. You will hear of people in the streets, tearing the world apart, but do not be afraid. You will hear of plagues and you will hear of terrible things, but do not be afraid, I am with you. 

I tell you so often to not be afraid because I know how frightening this world is and will continue to be. I am telling you now that it will get worse before it gets better, but do not be afraid. I am with you. I am on your side. I am making all things turn for your good. 

In the midst of chaos and terror, I am still with you. I am still working it out for you. I love you. Do not be afraid.

The way...

My prayer:

Thank you God. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have not seen you without words very often. 

I am here tonight to refuel your dream. I have not forgotten the promises and call I placed on your life. You will see it all come to pass. 

You are in the position that I have placed you for this season. I know you don't see the way to there from here but it is not necessary for you to see it. It is only necessary that you trust me to know the way. 

I am the way, the truth and the life. I will not lose my way. I will not lose your way. I will guide you always. I am guiding you now. 

Stay alert to my voice. 

You matter...

My prayer:

Today was pretty great God. Thank you! 

I pray and ask for your help this week. Help me God to remember that no matter what it looks like, you have a plan and I can count on you. I know it, most of the time but help me in the times that I forget.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight;

Every aspect of your life is important. Every decision, every action and every inaction. Everything effects everything else.

You matter. You matter to me and you matter to the world. You even matter to people you will never meet.

The truth of life is that you are all connected. We are all connected. The technology of today is making that truth more obvious but it  has always been true.

Do not discount your life and your purpose. Do not live as if you don't effect those around you. Do not forget that I am in you and in that, you are special and amazing and powerful beyond your comprehension.

I love you and I always will.

Royal priesthood...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray your Holy Spirit fire fill me, inspire me, and make me a conduit of your power here on earth! Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You are a royal priesthood with a calling and purpose on your life. You are dressed in the finery of my court. You are guarded on all sides by my army. You are being perfected in my Spirit and in my image.

I have not left you. No, it is the very opposite. I am in you and preparing you and will see you fulfill your call and mission while on this earth.

I love you and I have not and will not forget you. I truly have not brought you this far in life to leave you here. There is more to see, more to do, more to love yet in this world and in this life.

Peace...

My prayer:

Awesome Lord. I pray and ask for peace tonight. I feel like I have been in a fight that has been going on non-stop for a few weeks and I am tired and ready for peace. I call a cease fire in my life in your name. Blanket me in your peace. Fill me with your peace. Overflow me with peace so that I exude your peace to everyone around me and in every situation I walk in to. Thank you Jesus, Prince of Peace!

What God Said Tonight:

Peace I bring to you. Peace I give to you. 

You can have peace when you remember that I am in charge and that I will work out everything for your good. I don't need everyone around you to be in agreement for me to get things done. All I need is one person with faith. 

Trust me to be more powerful that the spirit of division that is working in our life. See it for what it is. It is an old and predictable weapon used by your enemy. Trust me to keep you connected. Do not give in to the voices that would separate you from your friends your family, all of those who love you. 

Do not let him get you off by yourself. Three is true power in numbers. 

Give...

My prayer:

Dear God,. Anoint me, make me a blessing (to everyone around me and to you), give me renewed purpose, remind me of the value and joy of this life. Please and in Jesus name.

What God Said Tonight:

The season for giving is upon you. Give and I will give it back to you. Whatever you have, give it out to others and I will see you blessed back with it. 

Give love, give peace, give joy, give your time, give you talents, give from the provision I have given you, including your money. This is the season to give. 

Find ways to give and you will find all that you need and want added into your life. 

Love you sweet child.

Desires of your heart...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. You have heard me all day praying and agreeing with friends over their situations. In each one, it seems like we know the outcome that we are hoping and praying for. However, something in me knows that you might have a different and better plan. 

So, I know it has been said so often that it has almost lost its meaning, but God, I pray your will be done, in all things, trusting that your will is always be the best option in any situation.

What God Said Tonight:

No one is all good or all bad, no one makes all the right decisions. There has only ever been one perfect person on earth. There is only ever been one who did not make any mistakes. My son Jesus. 

For everyone else, your life is a mixture of good and bad. Smart decisions and not so smart decisions. Successes and failures. And, that is ok. 

Your prayer, for my will to be done is a good one for sure. I will always make sure that my will for your life is to prosper you and keep you in health. But, feel free to ask me for the things you want. That is part of this relationship too. Describe to me the desires of your heart. See if I won't bring them to you. I will bless you, time and time again.
