God provides...

My prayer:

Today was full of surprises. I can't even say if they were good or bad surprises but I sit here tonight with my head spinning and filled with thoughts that are rushing by. This life is so uncertain sometimes. We truly are not promised tomorrow. 

Awesome God. You are my rock and my strong tower that I can hang onto in any storm and in this ever changing world. Thank you for being the one thing that never changes. Thank you for always being there for me. 

What God Said Tonight:

Your words and the smoke in the mirror will actually be what saves you. I have a standard principle that I will provide for you. I will not neglect it. 

I am yours and you are mine, forever. 

Spring of life...

My prayer:

Thank you for answered prayers today God. You are extending the life of a very good man and I am grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

There is the season of planting, the season of growing, the season of harvest and the season of rest. Each season happens in its own time. Your season is changing now. 

The grass of yesterday has turned into the bailed hay of today. Your tomorrow is of rest and preparation for the new Spring. 

I love you and will see you in the Spring of life. 

All miracles...

My prayer:

Surviving today was a testament of you in my life. There is no natural way I could have survived but you brought me through. I am greater, stronger, more capable, and more successful because you are in my life. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

Not every miracle comes with a flash, bang, and celebration. Sometimes the miracles are barely noticeable. They are so small that you think they did not really matter but without them, your life would be over. 

I love providing you miracles great and small because I see how they strengthen you and your faith. Take time to recognize them all no matter how big or how small. I love you.

Come and rest...

My prayer:

I am praying for your continued peace God. I sit here tonight, in peace, in contentment and I pray that it continues. 

Thank you for all you are doing in my life, in my friends and family's lives. You are working everything out and that is amazing and wonderful. But thank you most of all for your peace and love that are not dependent on the circumstances, they simply are. 

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Come and rest in my presence and my love. I have made a bed of peace for you to lie in. I will see your energy returned and your fire relit as we prepare for a final battle. 

I love you, I love you, I love you. Come and sit in my love. Let it heal you and make you whole. Let it calm your worried soul. 

I love you, I love you, I love you. I will see you through. 

Chasing after love...

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting for anything can make you anxious. Waiting for love can make you crazy. 

The love I have for you is ever present and all encompassing. The love of the world is limited and conditional. The love I have for you is a given. I have already given it to you. The love of the world is most often two steps out of reach. My love heals. My love makes you whole. 

I leave it to you to decide what love to chase after.

Don't be oblivious...

My prayer:

Another long day, but not a bad one. I am just kind of worn out. When I look at this day I kind of think, "meh". Nothing great but nothing terrible. With the world we live in, any day without something terrible is a pretty good day. 

Wow, that sounded really pessimistic. Maybe I am too tired to talk and I should stop and listen. I bet anything you have to say will be a million times better and more encouraging than me. 

Thanks for being you and thanks for being my friend.

What God Said Today:

Here and now are important because you have been planted. Some of my kids, I need mobile and some I need planted. You have had your seasons of mobility but your season now is being planted. We will travel the world again someday but today is about here and now. 

Do not close your eyes and ears to all that is going on around you. It is important and valuable. Some will inspire you and some will depress you. Some will require a response and some will require you to stay put. As always, wait and listen for my voice. I will guide you in this place an this time. 

Having said that, it is only true because you choose to give your life to me. If you make another choice, you can pick your place and time but you also open yourself up to everything that wants you destroyed. 

Growth...

My prayer:

Today ended up a lot more fun than I expected it to! Thanks for the exciting ending to a rather mundane day.  One of many favorite things about you is that you always find ways to bring little bubbles of joy into my life even in the tough times. You are such an amazing gift in my life. 

I was about to pray that we live out every day through eternity together, but you have already promised me that. SO, I will just thank you for your promise to live out every day together with me throughout eternity!

What God Said Tonight:

You are in a growth and harvest season. Your life is growing thick and green and is getting ready for harvest. 

All that you have learned and all that you have had healed has prepared you and grown you into a maturity that I can use in the Kingdom. Your brothers, your sisters, will reap of your experience and growth. Your maturity will be used to grow the lives of others. 

Keep growing. It is worth it.
