God won't give up...

My prayer:

Problems with no answers in sight. Pain with only moments of relief. The only thing I know is you are here with me and you won't leave me here. You will find the answers. Maybe you will be the answer. You will be my healing. You will never leave me. That's what I know. 

 What God Said Tonight:

I'm here. I see you. I see what you are going through. I don't watch it from a distance. I am in you and you are in me and what you feel, what you go through, I go through. I don't judge you because I am in you. 

We are in this together and I won't give up. If you need to give up for a little while, don't worry, I will carry us. I won't give up. 

Your heart is in my hands and I am reforming it. I am making it new. I am taking all of the places where it has been sliced, bruised, beaten, and turned necrotic and I am renewing, healing, growing fresh new tissue so that you can love the way I make you to love. I am in you mending and making you whole. 

I won't give up. You will be whole. 

Under control...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I am not very proud of how I handled this week but I survived, and I guess that is something to celebrate. I am pretty sick of me tonight. What is on your mind? What do you want to talk about? I love your voice, your heart, your presence...everything that is you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am going to make you to lie in green pastures tonight. I am going to provide for you as you rest. 

I want you to free yourself of the grime of the week and rest while I take care of things for a bit. I don't need you to do anything but trust me and let go. Don't grab back on to it, just let go and leave it. 

I know there are many things right now that weigh heavy on your mind and your spirit. I know every one of them. I am working on every one of them. Trust me to work it out. 

Find your place in my peace and settle in for awhile. I love you and I have got it under control and in my will. 

Worry demon...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I pray and I ask for peace tonight. Stress and worry are taking up too much space in my life right now. 

I give it all up to you, knowing that you have all of the answers and you have a plan. God, I choose right now to release the worry and the fear. I choose right now to grab onto my faith and trust in you. 

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

The darkness, the unknown, the what ifs can be some of the most relentless demons in your life. They nip away at you until you are chewed to pieces. 

Come into my arms. Let me wrap myself around you and keep them off of you. You are my precious child and you are not meant to be fodder for demons. 

I will keep you safe. I will heal and restore you. And, of course, I will work everything out for your good. I love you daughter.

BAD day...

My prayer:

I feel like I kind of failed at life today God. I mean, in the end, everything worked out ok (because you always work it out in the end). But, throughout the day I let the stress get to me. I did not treat people very kindly. I could not seem to come up with solutions and got lost in the problems instead. All and all, pretty pitiful.

Thank you for working it all out anyway. Thank you for finding solutions when I couldn't. Please help me to do better tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

I have only one thing to point out to you about today. I would just say that when you ran into the problems, your response was to look inside yourself for the answers. It was only when you were completely overwhelmed that you turned to me. Your turning to me, was the turning point of the day. 

I will always help but I won't but in. If you want to try to figure it out yourself, I will let you. If you want my help, ask. When you are frustrated...ask sooner. 

I love you daughter and your day was not as bad as you think. You will see great things out of what you thought of as failures today. Your heart is in the right place but your mind got in the way today. Wash it off, shake it off and we will do better tomorrow. Love you to pieces!

You can do it...

My prayer:

Thank you God for big ideas and big dreams. Thank you for the courage to hold onto hope that life, this life can yet be more amazing, more impactful, more meaningful than I can imagine. Thank you for having bigger plans for me than what I can imagine for myself God. Thank you God for your big picture and all the souls saved because of it. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

You are capable of so much more than you think you are. You have yet to see even the edges of your limitations. 

I live in you and because of that, you can do anything. You can accomplish anything. With me on your side, you really have no limits. 

I see you in your perfected form and in it, I see all that you can do. 

Trust me when I push a little. It will be ok. You can do it. You will do it if you don't lose hope. Don't be afraid. I know you can do it. Trust me and my opinion, even when you don't see it in yourself.

Holy Spirit guidance...

My prayer:

Holy Spirit. Thank you for your guidance today. Thank you for letting me know what to do, when to do it and who to do it for today. 

I love days like today where I don't have any plans and you can truly guide each step. I would love to discover how to live that way all the time. I mean, I try to be open and listen for your voice and guidance all day; but sometimes the noise of work and the day to day responsibilities of life make it harder to hear you. 

God, help me to keep my ears, my eyes and my soul open to you 24/7 no matter what else is going on.

What God Said Tonight:

I will guide you always. I just have to use different methods depending on how well you are hearing me. 

When you are listening, I can give you a slight nudge and that is all you need. When you are busy, stressed, distracted, sometimes I have to drop a boulder in front of you to catch your attention. 

But, I will always guide you. 

You have invited me into your life, your heart and I plan to stay. I plan to hold up my end of our relationship. I will see you through every season and I will guide you always. 

Love you.

Intimacy with God...

My prayer:

Craving intimacy tonight God. Craving that closeness that I can only get from you. That place where I can't tell the difference between my own thoughts and your thoughts. That place where nothing matters but you and your next word. 

God I crave that time with you. I crave those moments when the world disappears and it is just you and me. 

Sweet Father. Let's close out the world tonight and spend time together. Let's close out all the voices, the demands, the troubles, just for a few minutes. I love you God so much. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am here. I am always here for you. I wait for you to take the time. I wait for you to call my name. I wait for you. 

Come, sit with me. Let's talk, sing, or just sit together. I love every minute we have together. I want it more than even you do. 

Let's stay here for awhile, together, quiet and fully aware of the oneness of Spirit. I love you daughter.
