Freedom to...

My prayer:

What a great day God. Thank you for every minute. 

Thank you for freedom. Living the free life that you provide for me is pretty wonderful. When I was young I thought freedom came from being an adult. But, as I became an adult, I realized I had even less freedom. It wasn't until I truly began to understand your grace over my life that I began to experience freedom. 

I pray that everyone of your people gets to have the joy of your freedom in their life. No more guilt and no more shackles. 

I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

A freedom from something feels good for a moment. Freedom to something feels good forever. 

I give you freedom to. I give you the freedom to love me and be loved by me, no matter what. I give you the freedom to know that whatever happens in life, I have and will take care of you. You have the freedom to share this love and this freedom with everyone you meet. 

I love you.

Drink him in...

My prayer:

Thank you for the moments of joy today God. They were welcome little oasis.

My prayers tonight are for the usual, provision, protection, health, and peace for me, my family, my friends, and all of your kids throughout the world. Not very original but I feel like I need to get back to basics tonight. And, in that vein, I pray above all things that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

 It is not important to hear my words tonight. It is important to spend time together in the presence of my Holy Spirit. Drink him in. You need that refreshment. I love you.

Hidden treasures...

My prayer:

I have a lot on my mind tonight God but I am really not in the mood to talk about it. You have heard my prayers and it is up to me to patient and wait on you. I am doing my best. 

I love you and I trust you.

What God Said Tonight:

Find the small celebrations. 

You have gotten out of the habit of looking for the silver lining, the blessings in the mess. I promise, I always put some for you there, no matter how tough the circumstances are. I leave them like little hidden treasures to be sought out. Remember to look for them. They are for you and they will help you through even the toughest season. 

I love you. I will bless you all the days of your life. Remember to look for them.

Wait for God...

My prayer:

Thank you for the guidance today. You saved me a lot of hassle. 

Sweet Father, there is so much wrong in this world, I honestly don't know how to pray about it. Every time I turn around, something horrible is happening. Natural disasters, people hurting others, and some truly unspeakable acts. 

I know you always say that this time will not last one second longer than it has to and I believe you but it is hard to imagine things getting worse or living with all of this for much longer. 

We need you more than ever God. Rescue us.

What God Said Tonight:

What I have to say, you don't want to hear. I need you to wait. 

I know it seems bad and it is but I will shelter you. I will keep you safe in the storm. But the storm must come. There is purpose in the storm. 

I need choices made and sometimes you have to push people to make a choice. The time is short but find a way to wait for me. Lean on my strength, my peace and my protection. I will see you through this. But we have to go through it. 

I love you, now and forever.

Easy peasy...

My prayer:

Two days of pure fun and great people. Thank you God. I really needed that. 

As I go into this next week I ask for your continued guidance and wisdom. It feels like a really important time right now and I will need you to help me know how best to handle everything. 

I love you and I love that you are always there to help me.

What God Said Tonight:

There are things lining up, even as you pray here tonight. 

I don't want you to worry or stress about it. You are trusting me and that is all you need to do. Truly, that is all you need to do. I have everything else under control. 

The plans I have for you are not only good but they are perfect and happening just how I have planned. No worry, no stress, no wondering, I have got you and this step is going to be the easiest of your life. It is true. 

I love you.

Peace...

My prayer:

I am so grateful this week is over. I pray for rest and restoration. I leave everything in your hands God.

What God Said Tonight:

A river runs softly down the valley and a bird takes to flight over the meadow. There can be great peace in the middle of any situation if stay your eyes on me. Don't look away, don't look up, don't look down. I will bring you peace.

Hang in there...

My prayer:

I am trying to keep a good attitude God but it is hard. I am trying to remember what you have said that you will work all things for my good. I believe it and I am grateful. It is still hard to get through days like today with a smile. 

I pray for rest and restoration tonight God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have worked to see you positioned for this time. Don't give up before you see the destination and the goal realized. 

It will be worth it I promise. Just hang in a bit longer. I will reveal the truth.
