Impact...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day God. Cold, wet and snowy but wonderful! 

Looks like we have several really cold days ahead and that always puts me in remembrance of the many people without homes. It breaks my heart and reminds me again how blessed I am. Thank you for my warm and safe home. 

God, I ask that you open my eyes to the opportunities to help. I pray that you provide for them, keep them safe and warm. 

I ask these things in Jesus name.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your shelter in the storm. I have provided and will continue to provide. I will not see my children begging for bread. 

I see you and your heart. When you give to the least, when you give to those who cannot do for themselves, you are giving to me. When you offer a blanket to someone who is cold, you are offering it to me. When you pray for someone who is sick, you are praying for me. I receive each kindness and act of generosity. I see each and every one. 

Your kindness, your generosity always has an impact. You don't always get to see it. you don't always realize the impact you have. One day you will. One day I can show you the lives you have touched. 

For now, be alert to opportunities to be kind and generous. Look for opportunities to bless. You will be blessed in return, I promise. 

Christmas love...

My prayer:

Happy Birthday Jesus! I sure did enjoy your birthday celebration this year! Thank you for peace, joy and a beautiful Christmas snow. I love you so much. For all you do and all that you are, I celebrate you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I loved the day and I loved seeing you love each other. 

I have said it many times before but the world will know my children by their love. You can only love like a child of God, when I am in you. You can only love without judgement and without resentment if you have the grace and mercy of the most high God within you. 

Let your love shine and show the world who you are and who I am. 

I love you. Today was wonderful!

Can't get enough...

My prayer:

God, born of a human woman. I guess we are not the only people who have that story. But we are the only people who can say that baby grew up and sacrificed His life so we can be saved from ourselves. And, you are the only one who can say He was resurrected from the dead after defeating death and satan.

That is a history that cannot be matched.

Because of you I have life, now and forever. Because of you, I am washed clean of all sin. Because of you, I am redeemed and my relationship with Father God is restored. Because of you, I am healed and whole. Because of you, I have hope no matter what the circumstance. Because of you, I am loved.

THANK YOU JESUS!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have you carved in the palm of my hand. I have you wrapped in my heart. I have you safe within my arms. 

I came to earth for many reasons. One was to know you better. To live with you. To walk among you. I cherished that time with you. 

When I left. When I no longer walked on earth, I sent my Holy Spirit so that you would never have to know life without me again. I sent my Holy Spirit so you and I could always be together. Walking together, talking together, experiencing life together. 

I am in you and you are in me, forever. 

Truth is, I can't get enough of you. You, my children are so amazing, I don't ever want to leave. Not only do I promise never to leave you, I don't want to ever leave you. I love you so very much.

Family of God...

My prayer:

I don't have a lot to talk about tonight God. Mainly I am grateful to be here, now, with you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am alive and well in the hearts of my children tonight. I am the core of their salvation and their love. I am the center of their purpose. I am a part of my children and they are a part of me. 

My children number more than you can count. I love them all. Some have yet to learn to love me. 

I bask in the sound and fragrance of your prayers tonight. I receive them as a sweet fragrance. I hear the prayer of your heart. I hear the prayer of my Spirit in you. I hear you. As, I know you hear me. 

Let's go into this celebration as the family that we are. Let us forget the things that come between us and focus on the thing that ties us together. You, all of you, are mine and I am yours. That is what I want you to remember, especially over the next couple of days. 

I love you, so very much.

Peaceful heart...

My prayer:

It is getting close to your birthday, or at least when we celebrate your birthday! I hope you like what I got you this year. It sure was fun picking it out! 

I do have some requests tonight God. I have several friends who are going through some really tough times right now. You know the situations. You know the struggles. I pray that your will is done in every one of those situations. I pray that you give them peace and hope. I pray that you surround them with your love and walk them through these valleys.

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I will send them peace like the ocean. The ocean, its tides, it rhythms can be the most peaceful place in the world. However, it is also extremely powerful. The same waves that gently rock you to sleep can also destroy. 

My peace and my power are like that too. I will be your peace and provide a safe place for you to rest. At the same time, in that peace is the power to destroy those things that are coming against you. 

Tragedy cannot triumph when you have a truly peaceful heart. 

Rhythms of peace...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day of rest and Sabbath with you God! Thank you for the rest, the peace and the joy in today. I loved hanging out with you!

What God Said Tonight:

The world and times are moving very quickly now. It is so very important that you take time each week to slow down and feel the rhythms of peace. 

I am here. I will stabilize you. I will give you peace. You have to be in a position to receive it. Don't ever forget the importance of a day of rest with me. 

I love you daughter. I enjoyed the day with you but I always do. You are precious to me and I am with you now and forever.

Never alone...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have done just about everything I can think of to put off our conversation tonight. Not because I don't want to talk with you. I simply have no idea what to say. Today was an insane mix of emotions, thoughts, events and I don't know what to say about any of it.

I am devastated that my friend has had such a loss. I am comforted by the community and love surrounding him. I am reminded of the sanctity and beauty of life. I am SO GRATEFUL that you have provided a way for me to be saved and live forever with you. 

With so many conflicting thoughts and emotions, I am left feeling oddly numb but as if the smallest thing could set me off. Numb but fragile. I guess that is the best way to say it. 

So, there it is. That is where I am at. I don't much like it here but I don't even know what to pray for. I feel like this is important, an important experience, so I don't want to pray for you to take it from me. But, I also don't want to stay here very long because it is really uncomfortable. 

God, I pray your will be done, knowing you only want the best for me.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your calm in the storm and your comfort in times of pain. I am your healer and I am your protector. 

You are right to believe that this time is important. I appreciate your courage to face the difficult time knowing it will work for your good in the end. You did not always have that level of faith. 

I have one promise for you. You are never alone. I will never leave you, no matter what. Let's get through this together.
