Better tomorrow...

My prayer:

Not my best day God. I did not handle the stress of today very well. I did not lean on you like I should. I did not do any of the things I know to do. And, I paid for it.

Thank you God for second chances. Thank you for washing me clean of my sin. Thank you for giving me the hope of a better tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

I have yet to see the perfect person who is not in need of the grace and mercy I offer through my sacrifice. That is why I died for you.

I freely take on your sin, your sickness and in return, I give you forgiveness and everlasting life. I give you healing. I give you wisdom. I give you all that you need, each day.

I love you daughter. rest and know that you will do better tomorrow.

Vision...

My prayer:

Awesome God! I am still flying high from watching you do your thing yesterday! Seeing you heal so many people at such a core/deep level, it was so amazing, beautiful, incredible, awe inspiring!

Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Thank you for giving us the courage to step out, in several ways. Thank you God for loving us so much that you heal us from the deep pain that we can barely admit to ourselves.

You are incredible!

What God Said Tonight:

Your voice, your words do not create reality. They shape your perception of reality; but, only I create reality.

Only I create. The devil warps my creations but he cannot create.

I have created you in my own image. I have created this world for you, my children. I have created opportunities for you in this world to see greatness and to live out your destiny.

I give you tonight clear vision to see reality as I have created it. Not distorted by the world or by our enemy. Not even distorted by your words and your experiences. But truth and reality as I have created it. Your new vision will help you and those around you.

I love you, now and forever.

Opportunities...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Today was a wonderful Sabbath. Lots of rest and relaxation with you.

I so want to serve your people tomorrow God and I am so worried I won't be able to. This storm is pretty crazy. It makes me wonder and worry that this might be another door you are shutting. And yet, if you are not in it tomorrow, if you don't want me to be there, then there is no point at all in me going. I only want to go if you are there changing lives. If you are not in it, I don't want to be either.

But, I am not sure I can take another closed door. I am ready to go, to move, to do again. I dread the thought of still being in a waiting season.

All that being said, your will be done God. That is all that really matters. And if your will is being done, I will deal with it. Regardless of what your will is.

What God Said Tonight:

At what point did you decide that I was a God of lost opportunities? I am your future. I am your life. I am everything you will ever need.

I will not see you begging for bread, physical or spiritual bread. I am yours and I have given you all of me. My opportunities for you are limitless.

Your preparation is not so much about waiting as it is about strengthening you. I can't take you into all the things I want to until I know you are strong enough and well enough to handle it. I love you too much to see you destroyed by the things of this world. I love you too much to see you tortured by your enemy.

I provide you more opportunities than you are realizing, right now. Around every corner is a new chance  to love, to heal, to be my hands and feet.

I love you daughter and I will never stop opening doors for you.

Dreams...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have spent a lot of time today thinking about dreams. Dreams that have come true and those that haven't.

It seems like when I was younger, I had no doubt that the things I dreamed of would come to pass. It was not even a consideration that they would not. It was only a matter of time.

Well, now that a fair amount of time has passed, I don't know that I have that same blind faith. But maybe I am more realistic?

The truth is that not every dream will become reality. Otherwise, they would not be dreams. They would be prophecies, reflections of the future. But, part of the excitement of a dream is not knowing. Will it come to pass or not? And, when it does, WOOHOOO! And when it doesn't, if we are lucky, we find a new dream.

Knowing when to stop believing in an old dream and start finding a new dream, now that is the real challenge.

I love you Father. Thank you for always dreaming with me.

What God Said Tonight:

Dreams are gifts. Dreams are what you can point to to get you through the tough times. Dreams are things that you can work toward, giving your life a sense of purpose and direction.

Never give up on your dreams. Sure, change your dreams. Dream new dreams. But, don't ever give up. Old dreams that seem dead have a funny way of resurrecting at the oddest times. I am the God of resurrection.

So, for those old dreams that have not come true, put them on a shelf and dream some new dreams. But don't throw them away. I have time and room for all of your dreams, in time.

I love you sweet daughter and I love your dreams.

Plans...

My prayer:

Awesome God, your will be done. Always.

What God Said Tonight:

You are important to my plan and my purpose. You have been chosen for a very specific reason. Your usefulness to my Kingdom is not fully realized...yet.

But, I love you and I created you for a defined purpose. Your willingness to turn over your life to me will be the key to unlocking all that I have for you.

Your plans, are often quite good. You should not shy away from making plans. But always be ready and open for when I want to take you another direction. It is always for your good and the good of the Kingdom.

I love you and I have need of you. Your very DNA has within it the purpose I have for you.

Come here. Let me hold you for a minute. Get ready to be launched.

Moving in with God...

My prayer:

Awesome healing God. I am not sure I am up for much tonight.

Thank you for healing me. Last night and today were rough but I am feeling much better, just worn out. I am so grateful for your never ending healing power!

Before I pass out and hopefully sleep soundly, I need, I want to hear your voice. What were you up to today other than healing me?

What God Said Tonight:

Healing is what I do. It is a part of the gift that I paid for you. I want to see you fully restored, physically, spiritually, in every way.

I paid the price so that you could be the person I intended for you to be, before the sin of this world got a hold of you. I made the garden for you and now, it is all about getting you back there. Back to a place of perfect peace and love. Back to a place where my Father, your Father, can stroll with you during the day.

But don't get me wrong. It is not about going back. It is moving forward into a future that has all the joy of the first Eden with all of the maturity, growth and the relationship that we have together now. It is a place of perfect peace. Nothing missing and nothing lacking.

I have gone to prepare that place for you. I have bought and paid for it. I can't wait to move you in. I love you. Go and rest.

Real love...

My prayer:

I love you so much. It has been awhile since I have told you how much I love you. I tell you a lot how much I appreciate you but sometimes I forget to tell you how much I love you for who you are.

Your presence is the sweetest and most lovely experience in my entire life. Your voice is the most comforting sound in the universe. Your love is the most healing power ever.

You are God all mighty, the great and mighty creator, lover of my soul, redeemer, teacher, savior, and friend. I love you more than I can ever say. My ability to express my love for you is never enough.

What God Said Tonight:

Higher than the highest tower and deeper than the deepest ocean. My love for you knows no barriers and no bounds.

I have pursued you through eternity just to know you.

You will never be without my love. You are forever mine and I am yours. Love, real love, never dies.
