Lost...

My prayer:

You know the old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut."? This is me shutting my mouth. But I open my ears and my spirit to hear you God. You make everything worth it. Let me hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

I see where your eyes are looking and it is no wonder that you are lost. When you are only looking in yourself, you cannot see where you are going.

Change your view to look at those around you. Change your plans to help those around you. Change your effort from fulfilling your own need and fulfill someone else's needs.

Look around you and see what I have for you. See the future that you are walking into. See the blessings I have for you. You won't find any of that looking at yourself. You will only find it when you look around you, out side of you and toward those I have placed in your life.

Hand off to God....

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am tired of trying to figure out this life. Sometimes it makes sense. Other times it doesn't. Sometimes there seems like there is a greater purpose for me being here and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it seems like I am a help to other people, a blessing and sometimes it doesn't.

I think, at least for tonight, I am going to stop thinking and just trust you. I give up. I can't figure it all out.

But I do believe, with all of my heart, mind and spirit, that you have it all figured out and that you love me. I do believe that you make it all work for my good in the end. So, at least for tonight, I am going to stop studying, questioning, wondering, and I am going to just rest in the truth that you have it all under control.

What God Said Tonight:

Good. I have got you.

Your job is not to figure it all out. Your job is to love and to trust.

Your mind, your curious and analytical mind is something I gave to you and it takes you quite far. But, when you hit the end of your understanding, I am always there. I can take it from there. Hand it off to me and I will finish it.

I love you , now and forever.

New season...

My prayer:

Your healing power is amazing! Thank you Jesus for healing my knee!

I love and appreciate all of the gifts and promises and blessings you have given us. One of my favorites, just after salvation, is healing.

You are the only true healer. We can treat illness and injury but you heal. Thank you God for being my healer!

What God Said Tonight:

The season is changing. Can you feel it? Do you see it? The evidence is all around you.

The atmosphere is different. The lighting is different. The air itself is  different.

The new season is nearly upon us. It is a season of joy great joy and great challenge. I have rested you and healed you. I have restored and rebuilt you. Now comes the time to use all that I have put in you.

I love you and I will do great things with and through you.

Heart worship...

My prayer:

I am so grateful for today and every awesome thing you put in it for me. Thank you for the favor, thank you for the healing, thank you for the encouragement, thank you for time with amazing friends.

i hope you don't get tired of me thanking you. Sometimes it feels a bit repetitive but I don't have better words to tell you how much you mean to me and how much I appreciate all that you are and all that you do.

Are there other ways I can show you? Are there other things I can do or say that will let you know how amazing you are to me?

What God Said Tonight:

I receive your praise, your worship as a sweet fragrance. The form it takes is not important to me. That it comes from your heart, that is what is important to me.

I don't need thanks given out of obligation. I don't need false worship done from a need to fit in. I need and want your heart.

I love when you pour out your heart to me, in words, in music, in groans and moanings. I love when you pour out your heart because it is real and it is truth and it is from you, my sweet and precious child.

I love you. Share your heart with me and it is enough. It is more than enough.

Expect to be blessed...

My prayer:

What amazing favor you showed me today God! Thank you!! I needed a "win" day and you sure gave me one. You are so very good to me. I am grateful to be yours.

What God Said Tonight:

I have more for you. I have more for you than you can receive.

I want you to expect my favor. Not in a spoiled or entitled way but in an excited and expectant way.

I want you to understand who you are in me. I want you to understand that there is no limit to what I will do for you.

Expect my blessing on your life because it is already yours. Expect my healing on your life because I already paid for it. Expect my grace and mercy to follow you because I have said that they would.

I love you sweet child. Expect to be blessed.

God's bias...

My prayer:

Today beat me up and beat me down a bit God. I pray for rest and restoration tonight. I pray for wisdom to handle things better tomorrow. Help me to be more like you.

What God Said Tonight:

Today is over and only important in that it sets you up for tomorrow.

I am your God and I will see you prosper no matter the circumstances around you. Remember to love those aorund you and I will take care of the rest.

I am your God. I am yours. I am always on your side. I will turn all things for your good. I am biased in your favor and always will be. I am the reason you  are favored and that will never end.

Let go...

My prayer:

Dear God. I feel like I beat my head against a wall all day and got no where. That is usually a very good sign that I am trying to control things that are outside of my control.

I pray God for your help to recognize the things that I do not, or should not have control over. I pray for your help to then let those things go.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Let go. You have such a tight grip on a life that you are not even enjoying half of the time. Let go of what you have and open your hands to receive what I have for you.

Don't be afraid of the open empty hand. I will always fill it. And you know that I will not give you a stone when you ask for bread. I will give you all that you need and all that your heart in me desires.

You will see great things. But before you have room to grab hold of what I have for you, you must let go of what you have right now. I promise it is worth it.
