Truth...

My prayer:

I spend a lot of time and effort trying to figure out life. I spend even more time and effort trying to figure out you. What do you want? What makes you happy? What makes you angry? How can I best live a life for you? I ache for the answers. 

Sometimes, I believe I have them. Sometimes, life and you make sense. More often, I wonder if I really know anything. 

If I were a different person, it probably wouldn't matter so much. I know a lot of people who don't understand why I get so worked up about things. A lot of people who say, why can't you just relax and see what happens? I don't know specifically why other than it is not how I am made.

I started asking questions as soon as I could talk. And despite the many years of questions, I still have more questions than I do answers.

My point of telling you this tonight? I don't know. Maybe just to explain why I am always asking...something. Maybe to just generally ask that you give me or help me to find answers and truth. 

God, I want to live a life based on truth. I would rather know and live in truth than in the best of fantasies. To do that, I need to know what the truth is. You are the only one who definitively knows the truth. Please continue to share it with me.

What God Said Tonight:

Truth is a light that makes things clear. Lies make things more confusing. Truth leads to more truth and lies lead to more lies. 

Look for those truths that illuminate the facts around them. You can trust in those truths. If the truth makes the facts around them more confusing...it is likely not the truth. 

I have given you discernment. Discernment grows with practice. The more you use it the better it gets. Use your discernment to seek out the truth of things. Look for the light. I know you and I will show you, now and forever.

Joy...

My prayer:

I am not really in a talking mood tonight God but I am in a listening mood. Is there anything you want to say? I am here. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I can do all things. I can make the impossible possible. I can make a way when there is not way. I can split a sea and I can make it rain frogs. I can deliver and I can condemn. 

My nature is to love, to heal, to help. 

My response is never panic or fear. There is nothing to fear when you understand my power and that I am fully on your side. Why panic, why worry if you know you have the most high God, the healer, the most powerful, the redeemer, backing you on every move, every struggle. 

With me, all joy is possible. Without me, no true, lasting joy is possible. 

Survived...

My prayer:

I am not sure how to explain the last 48 hours God other than to say THANK YOU! I have experienced such a dramatic shift in the spirit realm and in my emotions. The ridiculous heaviness, depression, darkness has lifted dramatically. Thank you God for rescuing me. Thank you for prayer warriors praying for me. Thank you for relief! 

When I look back to what you told me two nights ago regarding the Monster...it all makes sense now. You are my rescue God!

What God Said Tonight:

I bring to you, peace of mind. The mission is unchanged. The goal is the same. The journey was interrupted. 

You had a chasm open in your path and it tried to swallow you. But, no weapon formed against you can be successful. Others can wield their weapons against you but I will make sure they do not harm you.

You have been attacked and you have survived the attack. Survivors are always stronger than those who were never attacked in the first place. 

Revel and glory in the strength provided to you by your enemy. Be grateful for the opportunity to become strong in me. 

I love you all and we are in this together. Together we will rise and together we will triumph.

The monster...

My prayer:

God, I have more problems than answers tonight. Stupid things are going wrong and I can't fix them. I need your help, I need you. Please bring your help, your joy. I need you.

What God Said Tonight:

This monster that is in your life is not as big as it seems. It is not as permanent as it seems. I have one kick in it and I am about to shove it out of your life. Kick it into oblivion. 

You are being stretched. You are being tested. Lean on me and I will see you through. I will ensure your victory through me. 

You are not alone. You are my child. I love you.

Trust and faith...

My prayer:

Not feeling very strong tonight God. I am not feeling very hopeful. I am just not feeling it. I am grateful that you have taught me that my feelings can't always be trusted. I am grateful that you have shown me that you can do some of the most miraculous things when it looks like nothing is going to work out. 

I pray for my friends who have fallen in a hole that there does not seem any way out of. I pray your miracle working power in their lives. They know you. They love you. They trust you God. I ask that you show up and turn this mess into a miracle that can be shouted from the roof tops. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Tonight is a night for trust and for faith. You don't have to feel it but you need to believe it. You don't have to go get it but you have to receive it. I have freely given.

Now...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thanks for good friends and fun today. It was a good day. 

God, I pray and ask for purpose tomorrow. I pray that I can be a true blessing in someone's life. I pray that you profoundly touch someone through me. I pray that I can be your hands and feet here on earth. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I find joy in the truly simple things in life. I find joy in the sun shining off of a drop of dew. I find joy in the first blade of grass in Spring. I find joy in you, my child, when you sincerely want to help. 

Tomorrow is a canvas waiting to be painted and we will paint it together. Tonight is more tangible. Tonight you can choose to be a blessing right where you are. 

Living for tomorrow will never fully satisfy you. Find the opportunity in now and act on it.

Shine a light...

My prayer:

A lot of random thoughts running through my head tonight God but none really worth talking about. Thank you for the rest time today. Thank you for showing me different perspectives. You are my awesome God and I am so glad I don't have to live this life without you! 

What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I have shone a light on some things to help those who have not found my  salvation yet. I need to give them every chance. I have children who are lost and deceived by this world and I will give them every last chance that I can. 

But, the time is coming and it is not too far away where everyone will have to make a choice and the choice  is for eternity. Make no mistake about it. When that time c comes, I want to be sure everyone understands fully the choice they are making, It is all I can do without violating the free will I have given them. 

All of that to help you to see why so many terrible things are so public right now. I have opened the eyes and the ears of people so they can be prepared to make a choice. It is not that there is more evil or more tragedy. It is that I am shining my light on it so it does not go unnoticed. 

The enemy has been hiding in the shadows long enough. It is time he face his followers in the light of day. 

I love you my child and I will keep you from harm.
