New earth, new heaven...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I really do love you. Not just because you loved me first, even though you did and not just because of the wonderful things you do for me, even though you do. I love you because of who you are and what I feel like when you are around. I love your presence. There is nothing better and nothing sweeter than your presence. 

What God Said Tonight:

Today is nothing more than a step in the process of reshaping this world into the original plan. There were wars and rumors of wars today. There were great tragedies and great joy. Today was unremarkable other than it has brought you one step closer to a life lived in a new earth and a new heaven. 

I have such a place picked out for you. We have been building your palace and making your crown. None of it is done yet but it will be ready for you in time. I can't wait to show it to you. You are really going  to love them.  

You are my sweet child and my  love for you will never die and never diminish. 

Seeds...

My prayer:

Thank you for another reminder that I may think I know how a day will go but that you always have surprises for me! I really enjoyed today's surprises. You took what seemed like it what was going to be a grueling day and made it kind of fun. 

I love having you in charge of my life!

What God Said Tonight:

You never really know what you are going to get by looking at the seed. Sometimes the smallest seeds will yield the biggest plants, and visa-versa. 

The beginning of a thing is often not reflective of the end. Those small, almost unnoticeable beginnings in your life can turn into life changing and world shaking events. 

I love you. Trust me with the seeds of your life and I will see them grow into glory.

Hope that lasts...

My prayer:

A day with new hope Lord! Thank you! 

What God Said Tonight:

You have hope because you have waited on me. You have hope because you have trusted me. You have hope because you see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

If your hope was only based on seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, it could not be trusted. The only hope that lasts is the hope that is rooted in your faith in me. 

It is not that way for everyone. People who do not follow me can find hope in a mud puddle, a star formation, really anything. But, in me, you have hope that is realized. You have hope that actually becomes your new truth. 

I love you and I will always be your hope.

Spirit war...

My prayer:

I have a lot of random thoughts running through my mind tonight God. Some are peaceful, content thoughts and some are definitely not. They don't seem to have any real direction but I am not sure I would call it confusion. Just kind of on a mind wander tonight.

Usually, that means I need to be quiet and listen. What you have to say is always a lot more interesting than any random thought running through my head. 

Ears open, mouth shut. :)

What God Said Tonight:

There is a war that has been raging in the spirit world for many years now. It is escalating. It is coming to a head. Soon, the victor will reign. Soon the carnage will be over. 

The fall out of this war is all around you. The casualties are people you know and love. No one likes the carnage of war but there are times when nothing else can rid the world of evil and tyranny. I have to rid the world of this evil once and for all. This war is step one. 

The disquiet in your soul, the feeling that things are not right, the sense that violence is around the corner, those thoughts are not your imagination. Those thoughts are your spirit sensing the battle around you. I tell you this now not because I need you to do anything but to help you to know the root of the issue. I tell you this now because it is close to finish. 

I love you and I am fighting for you every day. 

Fear...

My prayer:

Thank you for today God. A day full of fun, hope and friends. Life might not be perfect but days like today remind me that it is still worth it. 

Now, in the quiet of the evening, I am at peace here with you and waiting on your words and your voice to make my night complete.

What God Said Tonight:

I have not given you a spirit of fear. I know why fear has wiggled in. I know the circumstances that have kicked a hoke in your side and left you vulnerable. 

But, I am your God. You need not fear. I have a plan, I have a way out for you. I have your healing. It is at hand. It is not possible for me to show you all of what is in the way of this manifestation but know that I am working it out. 

Go, sleep in the peace that I am working it out, for you, for your good. 

I love your heart to serve, your inquisitive mind, your need to figure it all out. I will show you the whole picture one day, I promise. Right now, that is not possible. Trust in me and throw the fear out the window. It really has no business being in you, child of God.

Struggles...

My prayer:

There are some struggles I can understand. I may not like going through them, but I can understand why they are there. I can understand how good can come out of them. Somehow, that makes it easier than the struggles that just go on and on and nothing seems to make it better. Those are the ones that seem so senseless and are so hard to get through. 

God give me strength, peace, direction and if you are willing, give me understanding of this struggle. And, as soon as you are ready, please give me relief and complete healing.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

NO struggle is ever wasted. The long ones, in particular, are the ones that teach you things about yourself and about me. They are the ones that have you seeking me at midnight and searching out deeper truths. 

I don't mean to make light of it. The pain is very real. The suffering is not something I would ever choose for you. But, in this world, you will have trials, tribulation, suffering. I am working on changing that. Soon there will be a new heaven and a new earth where those truths no longer apply. But, for as long as we are in this world, you will have my help, my strength, my peace and my deliverance. 

Even when you think I have forgotten your suffering, I won't let you down. I feel every hurt and every struggle as deeply as you. I took them on for you. I will never forget and I will never turn my back on you. See how I work it all for your good. Always and forever my love.

More blessed...

My prayer:

Today sure turned out better than I was expecting it to. THANK YOU JESUS! As you know, I was kind of dreading it and spent a fair amount of time this morning asking for your help. And you really showed up God. Not in the way I expected, but as always in a way that was even better. 

That is one of the joys of living this life with you. Just when I think all is lost, you show up and show me new life and new hope from a totally unexpected direction! Thank you thank you thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

A house is a palace to a man who is living on the street. Much of life and the experience of life is related to your perception. 

I have great things for you. Things that others will look at and say, "Wow! Look how blessed she is!!!" But, for you, it will be just the next step in the process and it will be harder to see the true magnificence of it. 

Once in a while, take a step back from your life and from yourself and imagine what it looks like to others. I bet you will find that you are more blessed than you ever realized. 

I love you.
