Light in darkness...

My prayer:

Today really lasted a long time God. I am ready to say goodbye to it and hope for a bit of a better tomorrow. 

God, I pray and ask for your help in finding the good in tomorrow. In finding the opportunities to be a blessing. I ask that you help me see and find the joy in tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

You are feeling in the dark tonight but look and you will see that I have given you sight even in the dark. I have given you light to see, no matter what your environment. 

I am the light of the world and I will give you the ability to see the truth in the midst of lies every time. 

Focus on me, listen to my voice, follow my light and see the truth. 

I love you and I will not leave you to stumble in the dark.

Hang on...

My prayer:

I am feeling so blessed God! What a great weekend. Thank you for all of the amazing people you have put in my life and thank you for the fresh appreciation of your blessings in my life! I can't wait to see what is next...

What God Said Tonight:

You know I often use the analogy of a river when I talk about my will in your life. Right now, it is more like a water spout. I am pulling you up through the water and waiting for you at the surface is someone that will help guide you to the next path. I have them waiting for you and they will not leave. Just hang on while I pull you up. 

Your time is nearly here. Just hang on and don't let go.

Walls disintegrating....

My prayer:

Feeling so wonderfully loved God. I am not sure how to handle it. Sometimes in life I feel very alone. Sometimes it feels like you and me in our own little world. Then a day like today comes along and I realize how many amazing people care about me and took the time to tell me. I will treasure this day for a very long time. 

What if we could learn to make the people in our lives feel this kind of love every day? Wouldn't that be amazing! 

God help me to do a better job of letting the people in my life know how much they mean to me and how much I love them. Help me to make them feel as special as they made me feel today.

What God Said Tonight:

I have watched you over the years grow and change. I have seen you let go of great hurt and I have seen you embrace great blessings. I have seen you fight back and I have seen you turn the other cheek. I have seen you love and I have seen you resist love. 

I see the walls around your heart. They no longer serve their original function of protection. Now, they just get in the way of what I have for you. They are already crumbling but I want you to get ready because I am about to knock them down completely. 

It is time for you heart to see the light of day. It is time for the wall to disintegrate. It may feel a little odd at first but I will be with you and I will keep you safe. Trust me and let yourself love and be loved as I intended for you. 

I love you more than my life. You are mine and I am yours forever.

Ripples...

My prayer:

Just when I think I have life figured out, at least a little, you always throw me a curve God. Thank you for always coming up with something new for me God. Life with you is truly never boring! Love you Daddy.

What God Said Tonight:

You have yet to understand and see the impact of me in your life. You have yet to see the impact of me in you and you in this world. I will one day show you the full impact, the full picture. For now, I will show you snapshots but know that they are the tip of the iceberg. 

What you don't yet see is that as my daughter, I use every word, every action, every thought of yours to help further my Kingdom and my people. You don't see it but I can tell you the ripples of you, the ripples of me living in you, move out from you and affect everyone they touch.  

That is why I walk so much abut relationships. I made you to be in relationship. I made you to be close to people so my presence and my power can move through you. 

God's everlasting and ever present love...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am not sure what to talk about tonight. I think I am just content. It happens so seldom, it is hard for me to recognize. But tonight, no drama, no desperate need, no overwhelming joy, just a quiet sigh and a general feeling that things are OK. 

Thanks for this God. It is nice. I love you and want to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

A quiet rain, a warm home and time alone with you. That sounds perfect. 

I am with you now and always. I am with you in the high drama and desperate need. I am with you in times of joy and I am with you in these still, quiet moments of contentment. 

I am the God of all things. 

I am your friend and constant companion. I don't turn away when things are hard and I don't turn away when things are quiet. You cannot scare me off and you cannot make me lose interest in you. I love you, now and forever.  I always will. Please don't ever forget that.

God's fuel...

What God Said Tonight:

Each of us, each of you have a specific purpose. You spend so much of your life seeking it out and yet you so seldom see the full extent of the purpose I have put in you. 

There is purpose in every aspect of your life. Yes, there is purpose in your successes. But there is also great purpose in your failures. There is great purpose in the times of rest. Their is great purpose in every thought, word and action that you have and make. 

I have a greater purpose and I have a master plan. Value your part in it and don't underestimate your impact, even when you think you have failed or when you have failed. 

All I need is fuel. Your life is my fuel to start the Holy Spirit fire that will ignite the earth. 

Love you.

Oppression...

My prayer:

My spirit is at peace tonight God. My mind, not so much. But, my spirit is at peace. 

Thank you for all that you are doing in me and in my life right now. I can't say it is comfortable but I can already see it is worth it. Thank you for new challenges. Thank you for new opportunities. Thank you for guiding me down another path. 

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am bringing to your life a freshness and a freedom. The opportunities you are seeing are a result of an oppression that is lifted. You endured in the oppression. You sought me. You learned much. But now, it is time for freedom from the oppreesion, the weight is lifted. 

Live free and see what can be, now. Love you!
