The slow move...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't know how to put my thoughts into words tonight. I think it is the same prayer as last night. I am ready for more, ready to move on, I just don't know how.

I know you said last night that it didn't really matter as long as we do it together and I fully agree that it has to be together with you or I don't want it. But I am sick of being stuck.

It use to be that when I got stuck, it was because you had told me to do something that I had not done. Is there something I am missing? Have you already told me the next step and I didn't listen? If so, can you tell me again?

What God Said Tonight:

There is no room for the runners anymore. The course is too treacherous. In this season, you have to step carefully, move forward slowly. You have to look where you are placing your foot to make sure you are not stepping in a sink hole. 

There have been days and seasons where I would encourage you to step out and run. In those seasons, the coast was clear and I knew you would be safe. Things are not like that now. Things are much more treacherous now. 

Slow and steady wins this race. Just because you are moving slow does not mean that you are not moving. The point of moving slow is moving with careful precision. 

I have a plan. I am guiding you. Try to find comfort in the safety of the slow move instead of impatience. 

I love you.

Follow your joy...

My prayer:

Today was pretty wonderful. Thank you for every minute. 

I need to ask you for something specific tonight God. I need you to reveal to me what is next. I feel you encouraging me to move forward into the next season and phase but I don't know what to do. I don't see the open door that I am accustomed to when you are ready to for me to move forward. I don't even know what I really want. I feel like the time is now but I don't know what to do about it.

Dear Father, guide me, give me wisdom, help me to know where to go, what to do. I am willing to follow your will. I just don't know what it is right now.

What God Said Tonight:

Your future is with me. That is the only thing you really have to know. 

Follow your joy, follow your peace but know that wherever you are and whatever you do, I am with you. And that means miracles can and will happen. That means that wherever you are and whatever you do, I am in it with you and I will see it work for your good.

Follow your joy. Each day, choose the things that bring you joy. Not just happiness but that deep fulfilled feeling of joy. It feeds your heart and soul. But, always, take me with you. Let me bless it. Let me bless you. 

I love you.

100% assurance...

My prayer:

In all of my imperfection, I worship your perfection. In my sin, I worship your holiness and righteousness. In my inadequacy, I worship your mastery. 

I worship you God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever flowing fountain that never runs out. I am all you will ever need. As long as we are together, you will always have, know and be everything that you need. And, we will always be together. You can count on it, 100%. Now and forever.

I love you more than you will ever know. You are my sweet embrace and you are in the core of my heart. I love you beyond reason and beyond imagining. 

Let my love carry you through this and every season from now on. 

Blessing and fear...

My prayer:

Sweet Father, you are my everything. You make life worth living. You have removed the fear of death. You cover and forgive my sins. You love me no matter what.

It really sounds too good to be true when I lay it all out but you prove it all to me every day. 

I am overwhelmed with a grateful heart for you tonight God. You are so wonderful!

What God Said Tonight:

I have favor shining on you right now. Nothing you do can fail right now. Step out and see if I won't make you succeed. 

A season of blessing is upon you. The size of your blessing is only limited by the rock of fear that you allow in your way. Walk past the fear. It is only trying to keep you from your blessing. 

Manna...

My prayer:

I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Life has been pretty unpredictable lately. 

I am very grateful that you have led me through each challenge, attack, trouble. Sometimes, when I think about what could happen or what could have happened, I start to freak out a bit. But then I remember how every time in my life when I had to deal with something hard, you always prepared me, took care of me, and led me through it. 

You have shown me that you will not leave me and you will always help me. There is no reason to think you won't continue. 

What a great peace and freedom that comes from that!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here, now and always. Tomorrow will take care of itself. You have enough for today. 

I am your manna right now. 

Take in all that you need of me each day but don't skimp.

Love right here...

My prayer:

Life is kicking my butt these days. I get to the end of the day and I am completely spent. I am grateful that I get to the end of the day before I am wiped out but it doesn't leave much for our night time talks. 

So, i don't have much left in me but I can always listen and I crave your voice. Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

I will love you right where you are. I will love you just as you are. I don't need a lot of trimmings. I don't need a lot of fuss. I will love you right now, even with your failings. Even with your sin. I will love you. 

Stranger in a strange world...

My prayer:
Seeking truth. Seeking wisdom. Seeking guidance...seeking you God. 

I have this feeling that there is something just outside of me reach, outside of my vision, that is about to fall on me. It is a sense that something is very not right. I have no idea what it is and that makes it more nerve wracking. 

Is this just my imagination or is your Holy Spirit trying to help me? 

Seeking truth. Seeking wisdom. Seeking guidance...seeking you God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Everything is off. Nothing is right. At least, not the way I originally planned. 

You are a stranger in a strange world and that world will always seem strange to you. I only worry when the world stops seeming strange to you. That is when you have assimilated to a point where your purpose and your origin are lost. 

I have you strategically placed. I guide your life. You will always have everything you need to handle anything that comes your way. You have the God of all creation on our side. There will be things in your life that surprise you. Good surprises and not good surprises. But none of them are surprises to me. None of them are beyond my ability to respond. And, you have me in you so none of them are beyond your ability to respond. 

Stick with me and we can and will handle anything that comes your way. Don't worry one more second about the future. I have already been there and everything works out for your good. I love you.
