Surgical healing...

My prayer:

Hi God. You know when Paul wrote about how he found himself doing the very thing he hated...well I can relate. I feel like I kind of failed at life today. I was not the person you made me to be. I did not respond in love. I guess it wasn't all day but in some key moments, I am not proud of my behavior.

God, I apologize for getting it so wrong today. With your help, I will do better tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

A tree has many branches. Not all of them are meant to remain. When you trim a tree, if done correctly, the tree grows larger and becomes healthier.

Days like today, moments like today's moments, help us to see what needs to be trimmed away. I can and will remove the pain that caused the aberration today. You will see great differences tomorrow.

You will find a way to love in the exact situation that left you for a loop today. I will increase your capacity to love. I will heal the harm that decreased it in the first place. It is time for a little surgical healing.

I love you.

True love...

My prayer:

I am mainly grateful tonight that you love me no matter what.

You love me when I get something right and you love me when I get something wrong. You love me when I do good and you still love me when I mess up.

Your love, so big, so amazing, so healing and it is free, completely unearned. I mean, that is CRAZY WONDERFUL! Thank you for loving me no matter what.

What God Said Tonight:

True love is not reliant on conditions and it is not reliant on circumstances. True love, the love I have for you, is complete on its own. True love is a reflection of the heart of the one loving.

Since I am love, my true love reflected on you is complete and without error or lack. I love you in every sense of the word.

I pour my love upon you like a victory bucket at a game. I pour my love on you like a barrel of olive oil tipped over you head. My love will permeate every corner and wrinkle of you life. Soon, you will be filled.

The Father's love...

My prayer:

I cannot let today pass without giving honor, praise and thanks to the greatest Father that ever was or ever will be. You care, kindness, teaching, guidance, protection and love surpasses my wildest dreams. I am so grateful for you in my life and I am beyond grateful that you will always be with me. Words are never enough but I love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

I love you too. You are my joy and the object of my affection. You are the apple of my eye. You are all that I have ever hoped for.

I love you my child, now and forever.

Special favor...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Another day where you took care of everything. In the middle of chaos, you worked everything out perfectly. Living with you as the head of my life is pretty amazing. Thank you for being so wonderful and for taking care of me. What is on your mind tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Special favor. You have gained special favor with me and with men. It is through the sonship that you gained when my son died for you. You became the newly chosen people. You became royalty. You became the priesthood.

I make sure you succeed because as my child, you must succeed. Your success is evidence of my value as a Father.

I love you. I love to bless you. I love to set you in the place of favor.  Your humble heart does well in that place.

Show off God...

My prayer:

Today was a mishmash of good and annoying experiences. I choose to stay focused on the good things, it sure feels better. Now, I am just spent. Mind body and spirit are all saying, we are done!

What God Said Tonight:

I have divine appointments in your life and today was chocked full of them. Remember that every interaction you have is an opportunity to show people my heart.  From the great old friend to the woman who annoyed you at the grocery store, each one is a chance to show me off.

Don't get weary...

My prayer:

Thank you God for your unusual favor and timing today! The train was running late for everyone else, but showed up just when I walked up to the station. So many little things like that today God where you blessed me in the middle of what was a mess for everyone else.

I bet there is a message in that!

I love you God. Thank you for always taking such great care of me.

What God Said Tonight:

I have steps ordered and set aside for you. I have a path picked out that is just for you. You who like to travel the less traveled path will find that my path for your life is as unique as you could possibly hope.

I have not abandoned you. You may feel like your path has stalled out but I have your best interest in mind, even in the waiting.

Don't get weary in your well doing. Don't get weary in your hope. I haven't given up on your dream.

Victory...

My prayer:

Today you gave me some incredible news of your miraculous healing which was AMAZING. Thank you so much for healing my friend from lung cancer! Within a month we went from the doctors saying "stage 4, get your things in order" to a clean CAT scan with no signs of a tumor! YOU ARE AMAZING GOD!

And, surrounding that amazing news was a day filled with nastiness, hassle, strife and stress. I was really getting down about it earlier but as I sit here tonight and think about it, all that other crud was likely just satan trying to distract me from your amazing miracle. What you did was so GOOD, he had to throw whatever BAD he could find at me so I would be tempted to forget your goodness. That sounds like him.

God, I apologize if I let satan take one second of my worship of you. I apologize that I let him steal the praise report, even for a moment. Today was an amazing day when I got to hear that someone I love is going to live a full and healthy life free of lung cancer. Nothing else matters.

What God Said Tonight:

I heard you complaining today but I heard your praise. I saw you frustrated today but I also saw you reaching to me for help.

Satan can throw whatever he wants to at you. You stay focused on me and I will bring you through.

I never expect you to be perfect. I never expect you to not get down, depressed, stressed, angry...on the contrary. I made you. I made you with the capacity for all of those reactions. I made you to fully experience life. I made you filled with joy.

So, while you struggle against the enemy, as long as you turn toward me and not away from me, he can never win.

You are mine and I hear your voice, no matter what is going on. Call me and I will be there with you. Call on me and I will change the atmosphere and the situation. I love you.
