What can I do...

My prayer:

We MADE it God! Today was not easy, but with your help, we made it through and it seemed to all go well. 

I must sound like a broken record sometimes but, thank you. You are so good to me and you truly destine me to succeed. I am very grateful and wish I had new and better words to thank you with. Words really are not enough. 

What more can I do to let you know how much I appreciate you? What can I do for the God of all creation to let you know how much I love you?

What God Said Tonight:

You love me, you appreciate me through many ways, My most favorite is when you show love to "the least of these". When you show love to someone who can do nothing for you. When you show love to the unloveable. 

That is a greater blessing to me than all the money in the world. The way you treat others shows me your love. 

Remember when you interact with my children you are interacting with me. I am in them. See me in them and love them more than they deserve. That is what you can do.

Stop hiding...

My prayer:

Watching you take care of your children is a true privilege God. 

Thank you for supplying the needs of at least two friends who needed you so much yesterday and today. I love watching you work. I love your miracles, large and small. I love how time and time again, our faith in you is proven to be right. 

You are amazing and a wonderful Father!

What God Said Tonight:

Your watching from behind a wall, afraid of what will happen if you come out. The world is a frightening place but with me on your side, with me as your covering, you do not need to fear a single thing. 

Don't hide. Stop hiding.  The world can't get at you no matter where you are because I am protecting you. You might as well come out and experience all that I have for you.

Grow where you are planted...

My prayer:

Today was pretty wonderful. Thank you for every minute. Thank you for the insight and the time to rest. Thank you for the sunshine and the cooling breeze. Thank you for amazing people. Thank you for today.

We jump back into a crazy work week tomorrow where I will need your amazing favor to be successful. I ask for your favor. There are a lot of great opportunities this week and with you favor, I can't wait to see how it all comes out.

I love you God. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

When you are working in the environment you were made for, amazing things happen. When you work outside of the environment you were made for, everything is a struggle. 

I have made you and I have made you to thrive. I have planted you in good ground where you can grow. That does not mean that I won't want to transplant you one day. That does not mean that you won't outgrow your current situation. I fully expect you to. But, while I have you here, grow, flourish and see what I can do. 

I love you.

God's Blessings...

My prayer:

Wow God! Today was a whirlwind of change! Exciting and exhausting. Very little of today turned out the way I thought it would but it all turned out ok. Thank you for your guidance. Thank you for your provision. Thank you for working out so many details to make today possible. I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

The true blessing of today was your trust in me. The true blessing of today was to watch you seek so diligently for my voice and then to follow it.

I will bless you everyday of the rest of your life. It is much easier to bless you when you are listening and following me. 

I am like a good parent. What good parent rewards their child for doing something that will cause them harm? Neither can I reward you when you are doing something I know will harm you. However, I can lavish you with blessings when you are right there with me. 

I love you and I will find any excuse to bless you.

Rest and peace...

My prayer:

Long day, long night. A lot to process from today. It appears that we are entering a season of big transitions. I am ready, as long as you are in charge of all of the changes. Right now, my head is spinning and I am just ready for some rest. Can you turn off the world for me for just a bit?

What God Said Tonight:

I can give you rest. I can give you a place of safety and peace, here in my arms. I can give you peace in the middle of chaos. I can give you rest in the middle of striving. 

I love you daughter. Come ad rest in my peace.

God's solution...

My prayer:

I am seeking, seeking and seeking on this one issue God and I am not finding any answers. Or, I guess the more accurate way to say it is the only answer I am finding is "No, not this one." I need your help and direction or I need to know that I should stop seeking. I am ok with whatever your direction is, but please make it clear. This constant running after options that don't pan out is exhausting!

What God Said Tonight:

It is done already. Your timing is a bit off. You want to see the final answer now and now is not the time. Stay open, keep your eyes open, but you don't need to stress out. 

I have a plan and it is in place. I have the solution for you already established. You can't see it yet but that does not mean it is not there. 

Trust me and I will guide you to the answer. I have perfect timing.

Holes and emptiness...

My prayer:

Something is missing God. I don't know what it is but I know that it is missing. I feel less than whole. I pray for wholeness through Christ. I pray for you help to fill the void, whatever it is. I pray for you help.

What God Said Tonight:

Holes are nothing more than indications of where you need to grow, where you need to be blessed next. 

Holes, in the life of a believer, are never permanent. They are temporary discomforts that help focus you in on the next level of challenge and blessing. 

Seek out the missing piece. Seek out the emptiness. In it you will find your next level of blessing. 

I love you.
