The best you...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I am kind of loving the person that you are turning me into.

As you heal these old hurts in me, I find myself doing things I never thought were possible. I find myself with more courage than I have ever had before. It is really opening all new worlds to me.

Thank you for healing me. Thank you for wholeness. You are amazing and I am grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

I see you stepping out into unknown waters and I am proud of you. I see you trusting me with untold secrets and I am proud of you.

You are coming into the you I always intended you to be. I have not finished. We have more to do. I have more to heal. I have great joy for you. I have great responsibility for you. I have great hope for you.

I love you and I will not leave you. I will be with you now and forever and I will be proud of you my child.

Equipped...

My prayer:

Thank you for all that you are teaching me right now God. I feel like there are things that I have always struggled with that are 'suddenly' changed in me.

I feel you healing old wounds. I feel you strengthening me. I feel you showing me the strength that is in vulnerability. I feel you showing me the strength that is in humility. I feel you showing me the strength that is in admitting weakness.

These are new and hard things for me God but I feel you changing me. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have told you these things for years. Now I have equipped you to experience them in every day life.

It is not easy. You will have to remind yourself of these lessons. These lessons are inconvenient and inconsistent with how the world works.

So, you will have to remind yourself of this moment and know that the way to growth is to follow me. The way to peace is to follow me. The way to all you need is found if you follow me.

This beautiful, complicated life...

My prayer:

I am kind of down tonight God with no good reason. I pray for your peace and joy to come over me tonight. Thank you for being so wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is more beautiful and more complicated than you may ever be able to understand. I can show you glimpses but to to see the whole picture would be overwhelming for you.

I have the full picture. I can see how the things that you think are so insignificant actually have great purpose. I can see how the thing that disappointed you had a greater purpose than you can imagine.

I promise, I will never disappoint you without a greater purpose. If I could, I would literally give you every thing you could ever want. I would shower you with blessings until you could not take any more. But, there are, right now, some circumstances, situations, needs, in both the physical and the spiritual world that sometimes mean that things don't turn out like you want them to.

Trust me that they are turning out the way they need to be and that I will bless you in the end.

God's love...

My prayer:

God I pray and ask for a greater level of your love in our lives. I pray for so much of your love in our lives that we stop hurting and being hurt by each other.

Your love heals. Your love strengthens. Your love makes us more than we were before. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

My love goes wherever it is welcome. I will flood you with love if you will let me. You are the apple of my eye. You are my created child.

I made you to love. My love was born inside of you and grows every time you let it. My love is not boastful and my love will not go where it is not welcome. But where you welcome me, I will come in like a rushing river with more love than you can take.

You are my precious child and my love is all yours.

Many roads to blessing...

My prayer:

Today was one of those days where nothing went according to plan but everything turned out well.

You do that for me a lot. You take a mishmash of things that are not working and make them into something that does work. I am barreling down a track that is going no where when you nudge me to the right and suddenly I am right where I need to be.

Thank you for your blessing, your guidance, and your love God. I would not want to live this life without them.

What God Said Tonight:

There are a lot of ways that I can ensure the best for you. I have created many roads to your blessing. I have benefits for you that I have not even deployed yet but will take you to new heights to soar.

I will take you with me.

Soaring...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I worship you. I lay down every worry, every thought and every desire while I stand in awe of you and all that you are. Or, all that I am aware of that you are.

That is the amazing and wonderful thing about you God. As much as I know you, as close as we get, there is always more with you.

You are beyond limits, beyond boundaries, beyond my imagination. THAT is exciting and wonderful. Knowing that I will spend the rest of eternity with you and that you will always have more to teach me, more to share with me, more to show me, is truly wonderful. I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

My Spirit rides the wind and sings in joy. I have you in my arms and together we will soar.

We will soar because I have destined you for greatness. We will soar because you were created for great things. We will soar because I have made you a royal priesthood. But we will also soar for the pure joy of it. We will soar to feel the wind in our hair. We will celebrate every victory and we support each other in every defeat.

I love you. Come soar with me.

The cure for jealousy...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Jealousy is such a destructive force. I don't normally have trouble with jealousy but once in awhile it comes up and when it does, it is so relentless. Even at the moment of feeling the jealousy I know that there is not good purpose for it. I know, even then, that it will do nothing but cause me misery. And yet, when it grabs a hold of me, it is really hard to get free.

God, I pray for a generous heart that automatically feels joy for the blessings on people around me. Help me to see and be satisfied with the blessings in my own life. God, disintegrate jealousy in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Jealousy is nothing more than coveting what is not yours. It is the epitome of pride to want to be better and more blessed than the people around you. It is a remnant of the pride of man in you that needs to be burned and cauterized out of you. It does you no good. It does the people around you no good. Hold still while I remove this cancer from you.

Receive the ultimate worthiness that I have placed in you.  You never have to compare yourself to others because I have made you perfect in Christ. The God of all creation loves you. Those are good credentials.
