Life is hard...

My prayer:

What an amazing gift you gave me tonight God! Thank you for that amazing encouragement and confirmation. It was so unexpected. I wasn't even looking for it but you plopped it down right in front of me. You are so good, kind, and generous! You give me what I need even when I don't realize I need it. You are a GOOD GOOD GOD!

What God Said Tonight:

It is not up to you to change the world. I am already working on that. It is up to you to love people through it. 

Somewhere, some people got an idea that having me in your life simplifies life. I am here to say that is unequivocally not true. 

Life is hard for everyone. No one gets a free ride, no matter what. As long as there is sin earth, death has a stronghold.

I don't make your life easy but I do make your life worth it. I will give you joy and peace in the middle of the chaos. I will see you safe all the days of your life. 

Purpose...

My prayer:

Today was a great day God but for some reason tonight I am feeling discouraged and purposeless. Maybe it is just the Sunday night blues. Monday is not looking real attractive right now. But who knows what tomorrow will bring. You might have some great surprises. You sure had a lot of them last week. 

I pray and ask for your direction, you guidance and your fire in me God.

What God Said Tonight:

Purpose. Your purpose on this earth is pretty straightforward. You are to reflect me and my love. Where you work, what you do is really secondary to that. 

Focus all your effort on reflecting my love and being the physical representation of my love here on earth. Do that and all the rest will fall into place. 

Study my love. Receive my love. Then, give it away, to everyone. Especially to those who don't know me. Spread my love and you will be in your perfect purpose. 

Holy warrior...

My prayer:

Thank you for your healing power God. Thank you particularly for healing me tonight. 

Thank you for the insight on what has been happening. I feel like I understand the one aspect but it seems like there is a lot more. The massive influx of cancer for example. It is everywhere I turn right now. I pray for wisdom and I pray for your healing to overwhelm the influx. 

I love you. You are my healer.

What God Said Tonight:

You have been in the dessert for a long time. There is something coming that is casting a shadow. The shadow is ominous but it can't hurt you. 

I am your protection. I am your weapon. I will fight against the attacks on you and your life, your family and your friends. A Holy warrior wave is on it's way. The time to fight is near. 

I won't need your help but I will need your trust. 

I love you sweet daughter.

In heaven...

My prayer:

Sweet and amazing Father. I am enjoying your  presence tonight. I am enjoying your peace. I am enjoying your love. There is really nothing better than sitting in your presence and love. Everything else fades away. The worries, the pain, the needs, none of it matters when I can sit in the presence of the Most High God. 

We are headed into Father's Day weekend and I would ask you to give my Dad an extra hug. This will be the first Father Day that he is in heaven with you. Keep him close and loved.

What God Said Tonight:

I have love and comfort for you on earth. How much more do you think there is in heaven? Heaven is a place where blessing and miracles are a standard part of every day. When you pray, "on earth as it is in heaven" you are releasing that love, blessing and healing her on earth. 

I love you. I love your Dad. I got him.

Chaos blow out...

My prayer:

Another day of surprises God but today, I honestly did not let it worry me at all. I had that crazy peace that you provide. I had that deep assurance that no matter what was going on, you are on my side and you will take care of me in the middle of it. 

Thank you for all of the guidance the last couple of days too! I apologize for not listening a few times but I got the hang of it after a while!

What would I do without you?

What God Said Tonight:

This is not the end. It is a beginning. It is a new day. It is a door. 

You see the chaos and you think the end is here. The chaos is blowing in the new day. The old must be blown out to make room for the new. Your life is, and always has been, full. I can't wedge in more without blowing some things out. 

I love you and I am with you, now and forever. My plan for you is glorious and so beautiful! 

At the mercy of strangers...

My prayer:

I do not know where we are headed God. Each day unfolds a little differently than I expect. It is exciting but a bit frightening as well. Where is all of this going to end up? 

I would like to make a courageous move that I look back on and I am proud of. Or, if I choose to stay where I am at, I would hope that there is greater success and purpose than what I have seen. What I fear is that I will not have the courage to make a move and I end up in a worse situation that I have no control over. You know how I hate any shadow of being a victim. I really can't stand it. 

God, I know you have everything under control. Just because I don't know the answers, does not mean that you don't. I pray your perfect will is done in my life and in this situation.

What God Said Tonight:

That is just not going to happen. You are my child and I am in charge of your life. I will not allow you to be penniless and at the mercy of any stranger walking by. I have supported and provided for you all of these years. Why would I stop?

It is my great pleasure to see you prosper, to watch you grow. This is another season coming to an end. Trust me to work it all for your God. 

Every doubt, every hope...

My prayer:

Today was sure different from what I expected. Not really good or bad, just different. Sitting here at the end of the day just generally drained. 

I have nothing interesting to say. Nothing interesting to ask. But, I can listen. You always have something good to say.

What God Said Tonight:

There is little left to do. There is little left to say. 

The season is changing and so many things will soon be clear. You have struggled to understand the purpose and the meaning behind this season of waiting. You have struggled with the assurance that it is in my will and my timing. 

All of it, every doubt, every hope will be explained and made clear. I never act without a reason and I never move without a cause. 

i am yours now and forever.
