The blessing of the storm...

My prayer:

Ok God. A little improvement and a plan to move forward. That is a lot more than what I had yesterday. 

Thank you for always working things out. We are not yet through the storm but I see a path out. I see an outcome that doesn't break my heart. Thank you awesome Father!

What God Said Tonight:

The growth, the green, the richness that comes after a storm is some of the most fertile and lush growth there is. 

Don't forget to recognize the storm for the blessing it is. If you can see it that way, your life becomes much more filled with joy. 

Withstand the storm...

My prayer:

Well, the last 48 hours have been unexpected to say the least. Emergency rooms, pain medications, frustration, and instead of relief, more pain.

God of all creation, Father, Savior, we need help. We need answers. We need healing. We need you. I continue to pray and lift up my mom. This pain must go. Regardless of the cause, it must go. It has robbed her of independence, of health, of joy. I only know one who comes to kill, steal and destroy. He is our enemy and he has no right to be in her or in her life. 

I bind any evil, I bind the devil that is trying to harm her, in the name of Jesus Christ who gives me the authority to do so. I pray Holy Spirit that you completely fill her so there is no room for evil to return. I ask it all as your child, awesome God. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

The storm is raging but you are not lost. The rain is coming down in sheets but you are not alone. I am your cover and I am your hope. 

Withstand the storm. Do not buckle. Do not waiver. I am with you. Cry out, but I am already here. Your prayers are not in vain. I have heard. I am working. I am sending the help. 

You have seen how I have worked everything out so you could be where you need to be this week. Right down to the timing. I am in this. I will see you through. I will show you the answers and the revelation. 

I am here. 

Rest in your knowledge of who I am and what I do. Rest in your love for me and my love for you. Rest and know that I will make the way and show you the way, when it is time.

Blessings...

My prayer:

Thank you for answered prayers today God. 

I try not to ask too much from you. I don't ever want our relationship to be one where all I do is take and all you do is give. I love you way too much for that. 

But there are times, like today, where nothing but your intervention will do. I am so grateful on those days that you hear me and you always take care of it. I am insanely blessed with you in my life. 

What God Said Tonight:

The mist is lifting and the land is green with life. The overgrowth is so deep you can't even walk through it. 

Bathe in the lushness of the life I have given you. Don't hold back from receiving every gift I have for you. 

Remember to be grateful. Not for my sake but for yours. When you forget to be thankful, you get in your head that you did it not me. Once you start thinking that way, it is all down hill. But, be grateful in my blessings and I promise I have more than you can handle. 

I love you my child and all my Kingdom is yours as long as you like and as long as you need.

Seasons of change...

My prayer:

God, I ask for help tomorrow with all of the known and unknown challenges I will face. Help me to be a blessing. Help me to handle everything in love. Help me to help others. 

Thank you for your presence in me. Let it be more evident tomorrow than it was today.

What God Said Tonight:

Your season of growth is nearly finished. You have grown beyond expectation and you are ready for the harvest season. You are ready to reap what you have sown. You are ready to be released into your next season. 

Seasons of change are exciting and uncomfortable. Don't be surprised by either. I am with you and you are moving in a straight path with me and toward me. I love child.

A greater beauty...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day God. I got to work off the edge of the stress of the week, hang out with good friends, treat myself a little...what a great break! Awesome God, I can't imagine how I would be able to live this life without you. You are my calm in the storm, my strength in times of weakness, my joy all the time! With you, life is bearable and often wonderful. Thank  you for being in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

The world and your life is made up of so many different pieces and people. You don't understand the true complexity involved in being you. I will show you some day just how interconnected you are with the world and all of your brothers and sisters. 

Your life is like an enormous quilt made of many different colors and fabrics, all with their own beauty but with a greater beauty when put together. I love you.

God is more...

My prayer:

Never before have I felt so completely alienated from the world around me God. I have always been a little different. But the last couple of days, the verse where you say I am not of this world...I know what that means more clearly than ever. 

Awesome God, give me the ability to live filled with your grace in this less than perfect world. Give the ability to continue to wait for you to come and give us a new world. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am more than an image in your mind, a voice in your head. I am the great and mighty God of the universe, As such, I can move mountains for you. 

Never back off of your hopes and your prayers. Remember I can do exceedingly, abundantly and above all that you could hope for. 

Don't feed the monster...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today there was turmoil, uncertainty, hatred, joy, hope, hopelessness, calls for peace, calls for unity, calls for protest and division among friends and family. Sitting here tonight all I can do is remember your promises to work everything for our good. All I can pray is that your will be done. All I can hope is that there is a greater purpose behind this season.

Thank you for being my hope God.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't feed the monster. Don't feed the enemy. He preys on your fear. He gobbles up your doubt. It is like air to his lungs. Don't give it to him. 

Hold your head high in your confidence in me. Stand tall and show the world that you do not fear because I am with you. Your witness in this season can be very powerful. Become part of the good to come from the mess. Don't be the mess.  

Love you!
