A good day...

My prayer:

Thanks for last night God. Things looked a lot better today. Thanks for helping me to be a bit of a blessing to a few people today.

I ask for your continued help tomorrow. It promises to be a wild and busy day. Help me to maintain your peace and be a blessing.

How was your day?

What God Said Tonight:

My day was good. But then my days are always  good. It is not hard to have a good day when you can see everything in the day from every perspective and angle.

I don't just see the 'good' and the 'bad' in the events of the day. I see the underlying purpose to everything. I see how I work it out for your good. I see the victory before the battle begins. I know who wins. So, my day is always good.

You know me. You know that I will always make you to succeed. If you really believed that, you would never have a bad day again. Try it out.

Come here...

My prayer:

Today was rotten and I am grouchy.

I know that I should find a way to have a better attitude but I have not. I know that there are millions of people who had a worse day than I have and that should give me perspective, but it isn't.

I probably shouldn't post this prayer God, and maybe I won't. I don't want to discourage anyone but this is where I am at tonight and I can't seem to help myself. So, I ask for your help. I pray your healing over my body, my mind and my spirit. God, please make me whole.

What God Said Tonight:

Come here.

I don't need you to be strong tonight. I don't need you to learn anything tonight. I don't need you to be or do anything tonight.

Just, come here. Let me love you. Let me heal you.

It really is gong to be ok.

Transition...

My prayer:

Holy Spirit, I need to feel your presence tonight. I need to know you are here, with me and in me. I need a greater level of intimacy with you. Help me to be more aware of you in me. Let your Spirit push out anything in me that is not in full agreement and submission to your will.

What God Said Tonight:

What is it your need daughter? I am in you and with you always. I am speaking to you always. I am guiding you always. I am loving you always. What is missing for you?  Tell me and it is yours. I am here to fulfill all of your needs. I am here for you.

It will take some time, this transition will take time before it feels natural. But that does not mean I am not with you.

You are going to hear me in new ways. You are going to feel me in new ways. You are going to see me in new ways. And, it will all be wonderful.

Trust me. Trust the change. We are in it together, like always.

Something wonderful...

My prayer,

Awesome God! I think I finally can see the beginning of something new! I am almost afraid to get too excited but it sure seems like we are building something new and wonderful for your Kingdom.

Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for your direction and wisdom.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE THIS ADVENTURE TAKES US!

What God Said Tonight:

I have planted a garden for you. All you have been able to see is the dirt but I have always known the good seed that I planted. I have always seen what it will look like when all has grown. I have never taken my eyes off of what can and will be.

Today's troubles are nothing in the shadow of tomorrow's victories.

You have seen, just in your own life, how this is true. Over and over I have brought you through the difficult times to bring you to something wonderful.

This time of waiting and healing is no different. I needed you to heal. I needed you to be whole. I still need you healed and whole. But now, we can move into the new season where in your health and wholeness you can minister at a new level, reach people at a deeper level and love with full abandon.

I love you sweet daughter and I am excied too!

Life is like baking...

My prayer:

Ok, we made it. Friday night! There were definitely times this week that I was not sure that I would be here, with you, in one piece on Friday night but I made it!

Thank you for giving me strength I did not have. Thank you for giving me peace when I was stressed. Thank you for giving me patience when I needed it. And, thank you for giving me the humility to ask for forgiveness, that I needed.

Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

Life is a bit like baking. You work really hard to carefully measure and include all of the right ingredients. you time things out the best that you can. And, even when you get everything right, it sometimes comes out very different from what you planned.

The thing is, the opposite is true too. Sometimes when you get everything wrong, it can all come together into something really wonderful.

I am the one who gets to decide your future and the favor on your life. I get to take whatever life throws at you and however you respond and turn it all for your good. I get to determine your success.

Follow my lead and you will always see the win in the end.

Don't give up...

My prayer:

I am too tired to talk tonight God but never too tired to listen. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

 Don't give up. I have so much more for you in this life than what you have seen.

When the going gets rough, remember that this will not last. Remember that I am with you. Remember that there is no battle, no obstacle, no enemy who is greater than I am and I will not see you defeated.

Wake up tomorrow with a renewed sense of purpose. You will see so many more great things in your lifetime I love you.

Death, life, loss and gain...

My prayer:

It seems like I was surrounded with people who very recently lost someone close to them. Some had the assurance that their loved ones were with you in heaven. Some did not. All of them were hurting.

God I pray for your comfort, peace and healing to wrap around my friends suffering loss tonight. I pray that your love envelop and heal them. I pray for your restoration in their lives. I thank you that with you, we have a hope that survives death.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is precious. It is valuable beyond measure. As my child, you have an eternity  with me. We have forever together. When we look back, in the later days, we will cherish this time together while you are alive on earth.

That being said,what I have for you after this life is over, is pretty amazing as well. Those you  have lost, who have gone before you, don't worry about them. I am taking great care of them. I am shepherding them through this place called eternal life.

I love you sweet daughter. Feel my restoration power in your life.
