Take out the trash...

My prayer:

Ok, today was a pretty rough transition back to 'normal life'. I am exhausted and just about everything on me hurts. I do not like 'normal' God. 

I pray for your supernatural intervention in me. Renew my mind, my body and my spirit. I pray for wisdom God. If there is some cause of this that I can do something about, please let me know so I can change whatever needs to be changed. 

Please help Jesus. I don't know if this is harder to deal with just because last week was so wonderful or if it is hard to deal with because it is that bad. Regardless, I need you help and healing power. 

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

It is 'take out the trash' day. There are some things that you have discarded but you have not fully let go of. Take it to the curb and let me take it away. Once and for all it is time to let go. 

You are who I made you to be. You are a child of God. You are not someone who has to live damaged any more. You are renewed and restored in my name. You are strong and whole through my grace. Jump up with me. 

You are going to a new level. It is one that you couldn't reach with the heaviness of the old hurt. Now that you have let it go, you can soar with me. 

I love you.

Dream big...

My prayer:

Content, excited, tired, happy, not a bad mix. I know I keep saying it, but thank you God. I really needed this week. I hope and pray I can keep this renewed joy for awhile, or maybe forever. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have more blessings for you than you can receive. I have more joy than you can contain. I love you more than you can know. 

You see, as big as you can dream, I dream bigger for you. 

I love you. I am with you. I will bless you, all the days of your life.

In the midst of God's joy...

My prayer:

I have nothing to ask for tonight and everything to be thankful for. You are amazing and I am grateful!

What God Said Tonight:

The joy of me is your strength. When you can tap into my joy, when you let it inside of you, it makes you strong. It makes you invincible. Let my joy strengthen you, fill you, and light you up. You are made to live in the midst of my joy. 

I love you child.

The good and the bad...

My prayer:

I am so very grateful tonight God. Thank you for the change of scene, location with new things to do! It is great to have a new perspective for a minute. You pour out your blessings on me. THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

At any given moment, there is joy, pain, peace, strife, blessing, cursing, rain and sun somewhere in the world and somewhere in your life. The choice that is yours, the thing that is in your control, is which you will focus on. 

I will guide and direct you to all the things you need to do. I will take care of the rest. 

In the meantime, choose your focus wisely. If you want to experience the good, focus on the good. If you want to experience the bad, focus on the bad. I promise you, in every bad situation there is some good and in every good situation there is some bad. It is simply how this flawed world is. 

It won't always be that way. There is a time coming where joy and peace will reign. In the new heaven and the earth, it will not be the same. Until then, make your choice.

Don't fight alone...

My prayer:

I trust you God. I trust you to do what you have said you will do. I trust you to guide and direct my life. I trust you to heal us. I trust you to deliver us. I trust you to save us. 

You do not change and every promise you have made will be accomplished.  Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am t;he rock and the cornerstone. I do not burn in the fire. I am made stronger by fire. 

Your trials and your tribulations will not conquer you if you are leaning on me. Don't ever try to tackle them on your own. I did not make you to fight alone I created you to fight as my child, under my protection and my banner. 

Volcano...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am praying for peace and love and decency tonight. Remind us of who we are in you. Remind us how to love and not hate. Help us to find your peace in chaos. Help us to love each other like you love us. We clearly can't do this on our own. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

A boiling, active volcano is not actually dangerous until it erupts. The boiling and churning looks ominous but is not actually dangerous until it overflows. 

Don't be too concerned over the churning. Sometimes things need to churn and heat up to create action. 

I am with you. You do not need to fear. You are safe in me. 

What God wants...

My prayer:

I am grateful to be here with you tonight God. As I reflect on this day, I am left with just an intense gratefulness for you and for you in my life. I can't think of anything else to say. I don't want to bother you with any needs. I don't need any answers (a big shock, I know!). I just need you to know how grateful I am for you. 

I can hear the angels singing hallelujah God! How beautiful. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have jewels, I want you. 

I have gold, I want you. 

I have everything I could want but I only want you, my children. 

Come, live in and with me now and forever. You will not regret it.
