The Father...

My prayer:

Today was interesting and eventful! Everything turned out ok because you always make things work for my good but it kept me on my toes for sure!

As I sit here tonight, I am having a hard time slowing down my thoughts. There are so many things running through my mind, I am having a hard time quieting that all down so I can listen to you. 

God, I ask for peace in my mind and my spirit so I can get my mind off of the world and onto you. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

There really is nothing to worry about. I am in charge and I will not let you down. Be at peace in the full knowledge and understanding that I am your Father and I will always take care of you. 

In a world that runs at a thousand miles per hour, you can't keep up. But, I can. Trust me to guide you. Trust that I will warn you of danger. Trust that I will get you through every challenge that lands in your path. 

I will not let you go and I will not let you down, ever. I am yours and you are mine and I will take care of you always. 

Find peace in that. Find rest in that. Find joy and freedom in that. Rest well my child.

The best...

My prayer:

My mind wandered around a lot of odd thoughts today God. I ask that you help me discern if there are any lessons that you would like me to learn out of those thoughts or if they were just random. 

In particular the thoughts about living a satisfying life. When my life is less than what I want it to be, I have the comfort that this life is just the beginning and I am just visiting here. But I wonder if that assurance has allowed me to accept less than the best in this life and more importantly, less than what you want for me.

Thank you for the time to rest enough to allow my thoughts to wander!

What God Said Tonight:

I want the very best for you. I want seas of diamonds for you. I want gold streets and jeweled walls for you. I want unceasing joy for you. I want divine health and wholeness for you. I want love that is unsurpassed for you. 

Never doubt what I want for you. What ever is the very best, that is what I want for you. I have an eternity with you and I will see you have the best of everything. 

I will also see you struggle and in those times, I will give you the best of what you need to get through the struggle. Since you are in this world, I will see you get hurt and I will provide you the best, deepest and most complete healing for the hurt. 

I love you and as my child, you can expect the best for your life, now and forever.

Today...

My prayer:

I pray that your message and your love get out to the world even when we mess up the message. I pray that your purpose and your love get out to the world even when we get it wrong. 

As one of your imperfect kids, I have to know that you will make it right even when I get it wrong. Because I get it wrong a lot. 

What God Said Tonight:

A dream, a hope, a prayer for tomorrow is a feather on the wind. A prayer for today, for now, can have substance and strength. 

Let's look at this moment. Let's concern ourselves with this place in time. Tomorrow will always be there. I will take care of tomorrow. But, right now, right here, what is it that we need to do. Is there a hurt inside of you that needs healing? Is there a brokenness that needs mending. I am really good at that. 

Let's get you healed tonight. Let's see you made whole. 

I love you. Let me help you.

God's freedom...

What God Said Tonight:

I am pretty content tonight. No urgent needs, worries, requests. Just here to be with you and hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

A little faith and a lot of trust will get you through most anything. 

I am here, in you and in your life. That gives you freedom on many levels. It frees you from death. It frees you from worry. It frees you from guilt. The thing is, this freedom is available to you but you have to receive it. I won't force it on you. Your faith and belief in the freedom I provide has to be real and tangible in or life. When  it is, you can trust me and see the freedom I have for you loosed in your life and covering everything you do. 

My freedom is there for you. Do not cry and bang your fists on the floor in anguish. The fear, the depression, the lack of hope that the world lives with does not have to rule your life. You have me. Believe I will do what I have said I will do. Trust that I will be your God and take care of you and live in the freedom that I bought for you. 

I love you, now and forever.

New season...

My prayer:

A week ago today, I had just been released from the hospital. That puts life in perspective! 

Thank you God for health, strength, recovery, and your love. You are truly wonderful and I am truly grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

A new day, a new season, a new challenge, a new blessing. Your new is here. Your break from the ordinary is before you. Your rut buster has arrived. The time for the old has past and the time to move into the new is here. 

Don't get stuck or stagnant holding onto an old season when a new season has arrived. The old season is comfortable. It may have even been fun. But if you don't let go, you can never see what I have for you next. You can never know the new joy I have for you. You will get stale and even the old that you love will grow cold and rotten. 

Don't resist this change. It is truly for your good.

A perfect ballet...

My prayer:

I am pretty worn out tonight God. Today was a bit rough. But, it definitely could have been worse! 

I ask for rest tonight God and help facing tomorrow with that hope and expectation you have been talking about.

What God Said Tonight:

Everything is coming together for your good. You may not see it yet. You can, if you look carefully. However, even if you can't see it, hear me and trust me that it is happening, now. 

You will see great wonders and stand in awe. I have set it in motion and am standing by you as it comes together. 

I love you and this is beautiful. Try to see it with me. Try to see the perfect blending of circumstances and timing to meet all of your needs. It is like a ballet. A perfect ballet. 

Hope...

My prayer:

What a great day! Feeling strong and able to find joy throughout the day. Thank you for all of the reminders and opportunities to connect with people today. It was fun!

What God Said Tonight:

I will give you a picture or a phrase not to tease you and not to give you some kind of premonition. I give these things to you to feed your hope. 

Life cam be so hard. I know, I remember. Without hope, there is often no way to get through the day or even the hour. I am your hope and through me I will always find those flashes of hope to give you in the hard times and the good. 

Keep your eyes and ears open. Look for the light in the distance, the silver lining, the glimpse of what could be. I have placed hope all around you and within you. Seek it out and it will sustain you. 

I love you.
