Wholeness....

My prayer:

Sweet Father and wonderful Lord. Back to work tomorrow. This has been a wonderful break and rest. I will need your help to get back into the rhythm of the work week. I have really disconnected during this break.

God, I also need some wisdom and understanding. I am not sure how to even ask this. I guess I am just more aware every day that each of us have good things about who we are and what we do and bad things about who we are and what we do. 

I think I have learned to love folks, with all of the good and bad that comes with them. But, I don't think I am very good at trusting. I so often put up walls as soon as I see a side of someone that worries me. Part of me thinks that is smart but part of me sees that it isolates me from people. Because the fact is, none of us are all good (except for you Jesus).

Anyway, you always tell me I can bring you anything that is on my heart. This has been  bothering me lately and I don't know what to do or think about it. I ask for you wisdom and help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have often said the key to everything is love. That remains true. Your job is to love your fellow man, your brothers ans sisters. Your job is to love them. 

Trust can be a part of love but not always. You can't always trust people. You can always trust me. I will protect you. I will take care of you. I will work all things for your good. Your trust is in me. Not in the people around you necessarily. 

I know we have talked about this before but it is time for a new level of understanding.  A new level of healing. 

You have reason to not trust people in your past. You have reason to trust me. 

Place your trust in me and love those around you. The combination will be the wholeness that you seek.

Out of your heart...

My prayer:

What a fun day God ending with amazing prayer, worship and communion time with you and friends. Thank you for this day and everything you showed me, everything we got to do together. LOVE YOU!

I am excited about this next season and seeing what you want to do. I can't wait to be a part of it, whatever it is. I think I am getting glimpses and it looks really exciting!

What God Said Tonight:

Follow your heart. The dreams, the desires, the compassion within you is given directly from me. Trust it and follow your heart. 

When you are acting out of your heart, out of your love, you cannot go wrong. 

I love you sweet child.

In this together...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I am really enjoying this time of rest and at the same time feeling like I should be doing more. 

For every time there is a season, a time to reap, a time to sow...etc. How do I know if I am in the right season or if I am just being lazy? I don't ever want to miss what you have for me whether that is helping someone or being helped. 

God, I ask for your guidance. I ask that if I am out of season, or if the season is changing, you show me what to do and not to do. Help me to see the path you have for me. Correct my path if I have wandered off of your best for me. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am in you. I am your helper and your guide. 

I have many options for you every day, every moment. I have come that you can be set free. I don't wish for you to be my robot following my every command. I want us to walk through this life together making choices together, making plans together. I am in this with you. 

If I see you are on a path for destruction, I will warn you. Don't close off my voice when it is something you don't want to hear. It creates a wall. 

I want the best for you. You want the best for you. Let's do it. 

2015...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father, normally on New Year's Eve, you and I sit down and review the year together; but, for whatever reason, I am not in an introspective mood tonight. 

I am grateful for the healing and restoration you provided for me this year. I am VERY ready for the next season and to see what you want to do. 

I guess that is really it God. I am yours, now and forever, and I am up for whatever you want to do in 2015. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I cannot imagine a better place for you to be to receive all that I have for you. 

They say the sky is the limit but we are going well beyond the sky together. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever. Everything else comes from that truth and that love. 

Blessing...

My prayer:

I am filled to the brim with thankfulness and gratefulness tonight Lord. Thank you for the extravagant blessings of today. Thank you for the peace. Thank you for the friendship. You are so very good to me. I wish I had more ways to say thank you. Maybe I can try a few different languages...Merci, Gracias, Danke Shain, Spaciba, Konichiwa...I think that is all that I know. But, know how much I love and appreciate you sweet Lord!

What God Said Tonight:

I have opened the floodgates of heaven on your life., Get ready for more. I have chosen this season to pour out on you because you have poured out on others. I don't need you to do anything for me but I love when you bless people on my behalf. 

Blessing and being blessed are all part of a circle of circumstances. One begets the other and vice versa. I am getting ready to pour out on you a blessing that you cannot contain. Truly, it is already on the way. 

I love you. Peace be with you as love is in you.

Generosity...

My prayer:

Well today sure did not go like I thought it was going to but it sure was wonderful. 

Thank you God for directing my steps and opening opportunities for me to be a blessing. Thank you for friends who remind me what is important and what really doesn't matter. Thank you for the praise report of healing. 

Thank you for introducing me to Fred who has such a beautiful heart. He wasn't worried about his own situation (even though it looked pretty rough) but wanted to make sure that the young man he met earlier in the day was taken care of. 

God, there is something so beautiful about a generous heart that does not worry about themselves but gives to take care of others. Thank you for showing me that today.

What God Said Tonight:

It is generosity, grace, mercy that make an intolerable world tolerable. It is those things and love that make a world full of sin bearable. It is those things that take a world that is damned and lift it out of destruction into hope.

I came because I believe in generosity, grace, mercy and I am love.

These are the things that will win this world back from the edge of evil. These are the weapons you can go into battle with. These are the things that will build a future worth living for.

I love you sweet child.

Total peace...

My prayer:

I am at peace tonight God. Total peace. The only thing left that I need for today to be perfect is to hear what you have to say tonight. I love you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Life does not have to be as hard as you make it sometimes. Trust more, worry less and know that I have it under control. If you can do that, no circumstance will ever get you tied up in knots again.

I really am bigger than any problem you can have. Trust me to know the way through and to know the way out. I am always here. I am always on your side. I always win.

You know I love you. Remember it always.
