Pity party...

My prayer:

I am feeling sorry for myself tonight God and I know that is a complete waste of time and effort. I ask for help to pull out of the spiral that comes with self pity. I ask for your help to see a different perspective on all of this.

What God Said Tonight:

I have seen and experienced everything that you have. I have  been betrayed and I have been used. I have trusted people who turned their back on me. I have been taken for granted and I have been ignored.

If I, Jesus Christ son of the living God experiences these things, why would you be exempt?

These experiences are not a reflection of who you are. The fact that you get rejected does not make you a rejectable person. The fact that you get used by someone does not make you used. You are not what is left after people chip away at you.

You are a child of the Most High God. You are a King's kid. You are a mighty woman of God who hears and knows my voice. You are a miracle walking. You are a voice in the middle of silence and a light in the middle of darkness. You are mine, now and forever and I will show you to the world.

That is who you are. These petty disappointments and revelations of some people around you are only meant to distract you from your true identity in me. Do not let yourself be led astray. Trust my lead and I will take you to the moon and back.

The flesh and the spirit...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I am grateful for the rest and the guidance you provided this weekend. Thank you for the chance to reconnect with friends and the opportunity to minister. All and all, this was a pretty great weekend. And yet somehow, I feel what is missing more than what I have tonight.

I know it is my fault. I know my perspective is wrong. But knowing that does not make me feel differently. God, I pray for your continued help.

What God Said Tonight:

The flesh is delicate and easily damaged. The flesh is temporary. The flesh is the package that you travel in while on this earth. It is not that important in the overall scheme of it all. But I understand that  to you, right now, it does not feel that way.

I remember what it was to walk in the flesh. I remember hunger and pain. I remember the sting of betrayal and the joy of affection. I remember the comfort of touch. All of those things find different meaning the flesh than they do in the spirit.

I encourage you to look to your spirit and to look to my Spirit in you to see the more eternal connections. The love that never fails. The bond that cannot be broken. I encourage you to keep your eyes focused on your eternity with me and not get too caught up in what your flesh wants today. You won’t miss out on anything that matters, in the long run.

It’s hard. I am not saying that it isn’t hard.

Trusting God in the chaos...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I pray for your peace tonight. Or maybe it is wisdom that I need? I am really not sure. I just know that I feel a little off. Something is not quite right but I can't tell you what it is.

If it is you trying to tell me something, please give me the wisdom to understand and the guidance of what to do. If it is not you, please flood me with your peace.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Things are not what they seem right now but I am still in charge. You can trust me to be your guide and your protection.

Things are in a state of flux. There is change on the wind and the change will work for our good, in the end. Trust me as your Father to keep my covering over you as the chaos seems to rain down.

I have got you and I won't let go. I love you now and forever and it will all be for the best in the end. I promise.

Listen to God...

My prayer:

I have no idea what to talk about tonight God. I am spent. I used up every last word and thought dealing with this day and this week.

I am of course entirely grateful that I did not have to face one challenge of this week alone. You were with me and working things out every step of the way. Even in the haze of mini-exhaustion, the reality of your favor in my life shines through and I am so thankful.

What God Said Tonight:

The person who is ready in the morning, the person who lives on the razor edge of life, that is the person who knows my voice and seeks after me daily, that is the person that I can do great things for. That is the person who I can shower with love and blessings.

I have spoken to you every moment since before your birth. Keep an ear open to me. Even in the loudest environment, you can hear me speak to you if you listen. I will always guide you right.

Covered...

My prayer:

Amazing God. Long day but a good one. Not much left in the energy tank but I need to hear your voice. I need to know what is on your mind. Your voice and your presence are truly like air to me. I cannot live without them. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

You struggle and you strive to live better to be better and that is ok, it is good. But sometimes, more often than not, all I want is for you to relax and trust me. All I want is for you to hear my voice and follow my lead.

I know that you are not what you want to be yet. I know that you have scars and you have issues. I also know that you are covered in my blood and if you trust me, I will heal every last one of your hurts. I will make you truly whole.

Those things are part of my job and part of my promise to you. I will let you know when there is something you need to tackle. The rest of the time, trust me to take care of it.

I love you, today. I will love you tomorrow. I promise.

Greater blessing...

My prayer:

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! Anytime you want to give me a day like today, where everything is working for my good...right now, I am all for it! :)

What God Said Tonight:

What you see today is the beginning sprout of what is to come. Today is a preview of the greater things I have for you. I have laid aside great treasure for you on earth and in heaven. I have a royal inheritance waiting for you.

I have been the executor and have been under order to hold some of the blessings until you were of age, until you were mature enough to handle them.

I believe we are there. I believe you are ready for a whole new level and season of blessing. I want to pour out my blessing and favor on you in a way that you have not seen before. I want to blanket you with my favor. I want you to have more than you can give away.

The fun part...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day of celebration and joy! Today was beautiful God.

Tomorrow, back to real life where I need you the most. I ask for you wisdom and favor. I ask for your peace to surround me. I ask that you make me a blessing in other people's lives.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you always .In the celebration and the tears. I am with you and I am strategizing for your future.

I have great things in store for you. Getting you to them is the fun part.
