Live from the heart...

My prayer:

Awesome God. My mind is a blank tonight. Shocking I know! Me with no thoughts, no questions and no words! Maybe tonight I need to just listen to you...

What God Said Tonight:

I have seen the desires of your heart and I have every intention of seeing them fulfilled. Out of the heart, the mouth speaks and your words are reflecting the healing changes in your heart.

A whole heart, a healed heart, finds joy in other people's happiness. A whole heart finds time to bless other people. A healthy heart can hear criticism and look for the truth in it. A whole heart never runs out of capacity to love.

Your heart, is healing and becoming whole. You will see great changes in you and the world around you when it is done.

Until then, live from your heart. Trust your heart. I have given it to you as a weather vane to detect the direction of the wind in your life.

I love you.

Circumstances...

My prayer:

Thank you for your favor and for bringing me through today. It was actually much less dramatic than I envisioned. I guess that is true of most things in life. The worry that I have over them far outweighs the reality of them.

What God Said Tonight:

All things work together for your good. You are my child and you are my love. My plans for you are not in question.

I am glad that you strive to learn from each situation. Know that I will always use the circumstances of life to help teach you and grow you.

But don't get confused in the source of the circumstance. Some things just happen. Are there reasons? Yes, but often they are so complicated and go so far back that knowing the reason would cause you more confusion than peace.

Knowing the source of the circumstance has nothing to do with how I can use the  circumstance. Always trust that I will turn it for your good and live in the peace that only I can bring.

Dirt...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for recovery today and the luxury of rest.

I ask for your favor tomorrow. I am walking into unfamiliar territory and without your favor, it could go very badly. I pray and ask that you go with me and work all things to my good, like you always do.

Thank you for being my Dad and taking care of me!

What God Said Tonight:

Dirt, in its own environment, is not a bad thing. It is not something you need to clean up.

When dirt is outside in its environment of the ground, it is perfectly appropriate. The only time you want to get rid of dirt is when it is outside of its environment. When the dirt get's in the house, when the dirt gets on your clothes, when the dirt is out of place, you need to get rid of it.

There are many things like that  in life. In the right environment, they are normal and natural and not something you want to get rid of of but in the wrong environment, you have to get them out.

Keep that in mind as you meet the challenges of this week. Don't waste time trying to move things and people out of environments that they were made for. It does them and you no good. Recognize the environment that best matches the person and help them find it.

I love you and I am with you, now and always.

Faith warriors...

My prayer:

I am content God and contentment feels awfully nice. Circumstances have not changed significantly but you have changed something in me and I am very grateful for that.

Thank you for the rest and the laughter today. Thanks for showing me solutions to problems before they even became problems.

I love you God and I am so continually grateful for you in me life.

What God Said Tonight:

Everybody sees the rain and everyone sees the sun. I have equipped you to weather the storm, no matter what it is.

I need strong children, strong soldiers and I have trained you to be one. I have a battle, a final battle coming and my army of faith warriors will be ready.

I will see you through.

Ingnition...

My prayer:

I am grateful and at peace God. Thank you. You have changed and healed things within me that I cannot fully describe but I can be intensely grateful. You are amazing and wonderful and I love you more than I can say.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a fire within you that has smoldered for years. Not going out but not flaming up to its full potential either. I am breathing on that coal. I am bringing it to full flame.

It is time to go.

Beauty and adventure...

My prayer:

Awesome and amazing God. Thank you for the last two days. Such a burden lifted. New hope, new fire, new energy.

Thank you for loving me back from where I was at. Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for always helping me. You are truly wonderful and I am very grateful for you in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

I have beauty you have not seen yet. I have adventures you have not dreamed yet. I am limitless and everlasting and as such, I will never run out of amazing and wonderful things to do and experience with each other.

I love you my munchkin. You are precious to me and I will never let you go. I will love you to the end of time and beyond. My love for you is more than you can imagine in your wildest imagination. My love for you is a basic part of who I am.

Wounds and scars...

My prayer:

Awesome healer. Please come in and heal my heart. God I pray for wholeness that leaves no purchase for the enemy. I pray for healing that completes me and allows me to love like you designed me to love. Love without reservation, without fear,without conditions.

Please God, heal me at my core.

What God Said Tonight:

I see the wounds. The old and the new ones. I am familiar with wounds. I have worn quite a few myself. The thing about wounds is they are not permanent. The scar may remain but the wound is destined to heal. Your scars are causing you as much trouble as your wounds right now.

I am coming to you for complete restoration. I am coming to make you whole. I will heal your wounds and I will remove your scars. The scars that have bound you up and kept you from trusting, I am removing those scars tonight. I am softening the skin and making it like new.

I have come to restore you. I will be your protection. You do not need the hardness to protect you now. I am here.
