God in my corner...

My prayer:

I am very grateful to see the end of this week so close. This week wore me down. I say that but in truth, you walked me through every crazy challenge and here we are whole a getting ready for a long weekend. 

Thank you for all of the answered prayers this week, both for myself and for so many others. Most of the prayers were those quick bullet prayers because I did not have time for much else but you showed up and took care of it all anyway. 

I need to ask for help in one more thing. I need help with this decision in front of me. Please show me what you would have me do and open the doors for me. This is a tough decision for me and I don't want to make it without you. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I will help you. I am already helping you but you cannot see it yet. I am always working on your behalf, it is just not always so easy to see. 

I love you and I will see you succeed in every adventure you go after. I love watching you go after your dreams. You are tenacious and I love that about you. 

Rest in the knowledge that you never have to face any challenge alone. I am always in your corner and sometimes in the ring with you. Love you!

Lives are at stake...

My prayer:

Thank you God for all of the things that you worked out today. It was hectic and frantic with me running a minute late all day, but you worked it all out. 

I don't know why it still amazes me so much that you are so good to me. I am really in awe. In particular, I am so grateful for how you meet my every need at work. If people just understood they would know that every success I have is completely because of you. 

Do I give you enough credit for that God? I think that sometimes I let people think it is something I am doing. I don't mean to, but I know I do. I am sorry God. I will try to be better about making sure everyone knows it is you and not me. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Right now there is a more pressing matter. Right now there are things on fire and ready to be fully destroyed. I have you in the wings waiting to put out the flame. 

The flame is destructive. It will rob people of their given rights to freedom. The fire is not from me but I will place you where you can diffuse it. 

Don't dilly dally, there are lives at stake. Don't worry about what to say, I will speak for you. Most of all, know and remember that I am God and I will not let this threat stand.

Now and forever...

My prayer:

Today was such a whirlwind Lord! I am exhausted but need to hear your voice before I go to sleep. I want to hear your words and your heart before I put this crazy day behind me.

What God Said Tonight:

You have never said the words to make me turn away. You have never done the deed that would make me walk away. You have never messed up so badly that I can't stay near you. You have never done these things and you never will. 

There is no act bad enough to keep me from you. There is no choice wrong enough to make me disown you. You have chosen me and that choice is for eternity. 

I love you and I will see you blessed, now and forever.

God's love...

My prayer:

Thank you for making everything go so smoothly today God! I was really kind of dreading it but you took care of everything. You take such amazing care of me. It is really almost unbelievable. Thank you for loving me and taking care of every need. I am SO BLESSED!

What God Said Tonight:

I have come for many things. To heal, to save, to redeem, but I came mostly to love. 

I am love, my whole purpose is to love. I will love you to the end of eternity. My love for you is not diminished by the circumstances. My love for you is all encompassing and everlasting.

My schedule...

My prayer:

What a great weekend God. I am not ready to head back to work and this week is PACKED with meetings.

I will need your help to not stress out and to respond with love and peace. I will need your peace residing in me to make it. I ask for your help. With you, this week can be amazing. On my own, this week will be a disaster.

Thank you for always sticking with me and thank you for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have plans for this week that go beyond your schedule. Do not get lost in thinking you know what the future brings. Your plans, your schedule are only a small part of the story yet to come.

I am here for you. I am here to guide you. I am here with you, always. Focus on me, let me guide you through, not your plans. Leave room to follow me.

Hardship...

My prayer:

Another wonderful and peaceful day God. Thank you for being so present.

I loved the time on the lake with you this morning. SO peaceful and beautiful. Your voice and your Spirit surrounding me.

There is no better place anywhere than in your presence. I love you with all that I know how to love, which is not enough, not what you deserve but all that I have.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't rest until you have run. Don't play until you have worked. And, don't die until you have lived.

No real joy is experienced until it is in the face of hardship. I know this to be true. The hardships in life are not meant to bring you down. They are meant to grow you up.

Everything in its season...

My prayer:

What a great day God. Thank you for every minute.

Thank you for making me a blessing and thank you for blessing me. Thank you for all of the work you helped me get done and thank you for the rest you gave me.

I guess the thing that was so great about today was it was balanced and you were in it.

What God Said Tonight:

There is a time and a season to everything. I know I have told you this many times before but it is when you truly understand that fact that you begin to live a balanced life and a life of peace.

The people who are always worried about what is going to happen next, never get to experience the joy in front of them.

Trust me to take care of tomorrow. Trust me to accomplish everything in its season and you will never need the crutch of worry again.

I love you. I am all yours.
