In place...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for your peace today. Thank you for showing me answers and helping me get things done. Thank you for the frequent reminders that you always work things out in the end. 

You are amazing and your reminders are my safety net right now. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

Every day, every experience, every interaction, has purpose. I don't waste your time with things that do not matter. I lead you and I guide you and I promise, every last thing in your life has a greater purpose. 

You will often not recognize that purpose until much later, but it has purpose. 

Trust me to guide you life and lead you exactly where I need you to be. Trust that those things that seem so insignificant to you now, are very significant in the overall big picture. 

You are like a grain of sand but you are key. Your life is key. If you were removed or if you were not in place, the structure would break down. I have you in place. 

I love you.

You be you...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am done with the whining. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for a whole day without having to live up to expectations, not even my own. 

I am going to do my best. I am going to trust you to know best. I am going to keep going because I know you and you always have something amazing for me on the other side of the rough times. 

LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Not every day is filled with roses and sunshine;but, everyday you have got me right there with you. I don't need you to be anything but you. I love you, just as you are, right where you are and I always will.

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.
