Big plans...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I could use a little perspective tonight. I have been so focused on getting everything done that I have lost track of the big picture and purpose of life.

I ask for you help to see things from your viewpoint instead of my very limited viewpoint. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a big plan for your life. I have a greater purpose for you than you realize.

I am working out the steps, but, I am not in a rush. I have all eternity with you my sweet child. We can take our time in this marathon and get it right.

In the meantime, you keep doing what you are doing but do it with the realization that everything you do, everything that happens is part of what I am working out for your good. Even the smallest of things have purpose. It is my job to line them all up to benefit you.

I only ask from you your trust. I hope for your love. I appreciate your obedience.

When life doesn't make sense...

My prayer:

Wiped out. This day took everything I had, and then a little more. I pray God for restoration tonight. Thank you for your divine health and healing in me. Thank you for your strength when mine wears out. Thank you for rest.

What God Said Tonight:

I was working hard on your behalf today. As much as you saw going on, there was so much more behind the scenes.

Don't ever forget that what you see is the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more reality that is outside of your sight. The spiritual battle that rages constantly is as real as the hair on your head. And its power reverberates into the natural world in unforeseen ways.

When life doesn't make sense, know that you don't have all the facts. I love you daughter and I am all yours.

Forgotten prayers...

My prayer:

Such amazing peace today God! Thank you!! It was not that things were peaceful. Things were crazy as ever today. But, all through the day I had your peace and it was wonderful.

I have told you lately how wonderful you are and how incredibly grateful I am for you? I can truly never tell you enough. I understand why the angels praise you all day, everyday for eternity. It is what you deserve. You are more wonderful than my words can say.

What God Said Tonight:

Your time has nearly come. There are things you have been waiting on that are so close.

That is part of the tension you have been feeling. You can sense that there is something right around the corner and you are right.

It is a matter of a little more time and then you will see. You will see what you have been waiting to see. You will have what you have wanted.

I have heard your prayers. Even the ones you prayed so long ago that you have forgotten them. I love you.

Courage...

My prayer:

God I ask for the deep down awareness that you will work everything out for my good. I pray for your peace. 

 

I am trying to trust you but I am experiencing fear. I am afraid of how things could turn out. I am afraid of this crazy and violent world we are living in. I am afraid of tomorrow. 

 

Experiencing fear is not something I normally have to deal with and when I do, I don't let anyone know about it. But, I need your help. I need your assurance. I need you tonight God.

What God Said Tonight:

Courage comes from moving forward in the face of fear. I am with you. I am always with you. Know that and walk anywhere with confidence.

Already in you...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am being faced with a lot of choices right now. I am remembering your advice from several nights ago about going with the choice that gives me peace, which is easier said than done. I also did not realize I would have a bunch of choices all at once. It is exciting and overwhelming all at once.

When it comes down to it God, my life is yours so whatever you want, that is what I want. Guide and direct me to the choices that are best for you.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

It is in you. The knowledge, the preparation, the choice, is already in you. Trust your instincts and follow your nose.

I am right here with you, now and forever.

Get quiet...

My prayer:

God, you are so awesome, wonderful, amazing and every other word that expresses greatness. I love that you are in my life. Thank you for perspective today. I am excited to hear what you have to say tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

There is a lot of noise in your life. Noise that sometimes drowns out what is important.

I ask that you take a bit more time to get quiet, away from the noise and the distractions. You can hear me better in the quiet. But even more, your soul needs the time to heal from the constant onslaught. Your soul needs times of quiet to restore.

I am yours and I am your peace. I will bring you peace in any environment. But, when you can, get quiet with me and restore your soul.

Partnering with God...

My prayer:

What a week God. Thanks for bringing me through it and giving me the strength and wisdom for each step and each decision. We just have one more day before Sabbath, and it shouldn't be too rough, especially with you on my side.

Sometimes, it feels like my life is an endurance game more than anything else. If I can just make it through this...day, week, month, season, year... Not always. Sometimes life is full of joy and peace. Sometimes it is exciting and wonderful. But, sometimes, like this week, I am happy to have survived.

Thanks for making me a survivor God.

What God Said Tonight:

I partner with you in this life. I don't force you to one thing or another. I don't make you do what I want, but I do care and want to help.

So, I partner with you to face every challenge. I partner with you to give you strength when you need it. I partner with you to see you succeed. And, I celebrate who you are.

Bring me a long and I will always help. I love you.
