Taken for granted...

My prayer:

I feel like I have run out of things to talk about lately God. Things are reasonably good. Each day with some joy and some challenges. But, really, nothing that rises to the level of bothering you about. Maybe this is just one of those stable periods and if it is, I should just be grateful for it. 

But, I worry that, if I am running out of things to say to you, does that mean that we are not as close as we should be or as we used to be? Am I less connected with you than I was? 

That, more than anything, is my greatest fear. A separation from you, no matter how small or how partial, is my greatest fear. 

What God Said Tonight:

You know the answer before I even start to speak. To be closer to me, seek me out. If you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me. Seek me, search me, study my word. 

There is no magic. It is like any relationship. Spend time with me. Talk with me. Love me. You will find the intimacy you think you have lost. 

The truth is, you have not lost anything. The intimacy we have always had is right here. But, those things that are always present are the first things that you tend to take for granted. Maybe you have taken our intimacy for granted. That has left you in this place. 

So, stop. Now that you see it, stop taking it for granted and remember how precious our relationship is. I cherish it. I know you do too. I love you.

Enough...

My prayer:

I only ask for one thing tonight God. Let me hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Enough. It is enough. You don't have to try any harder. You don't have to do any more. It is enough. 

Everyone just relax a minute, Allow me to repair and heal you. Allow me to love and comfort you. 

Stop trying to fix it all yourself. I never intended that. 

I love you. Stop, rest, and let me show you. 

Coming back...

My prayer:

Thank you for all of the protection today God! I am exhausted but I am home safe and there were several times today where I was not sure that would happen. What a great protector you are!

What God Said Tonight:

You don't have much longer to wait, I am on my way. Restoration is near and we won't go to sleep hungry. 

No matter what you see, I am near. No matter what your fear, I am still on my way. The second coming is not a fantasy. I am on my way back and the time will be here before you know it. 

I love you and I will see you soon.

A bump in the road...

My prayer:

Today was pretty rotten God. I try to find the positive in every day but the only positive thing about today is it is over. Everything was so hard today! Things that normally are no problem, even little things, went wrong and took 10 times the effort and 10 times the time to get done. Uggghhhh!

I pray and ask for rest and restoration, knowing that every day is a new day with you and that my hope is in you.

What God Said Tonight:

Take a deep breath. Things are not as bad as they seem. Today was a bump in the road, not a permanent destination. 

Sometimes the battle gets a bit rough and the flotsam spills over into the physical world. But remember, the battle is not yours. Rest and trust in me to defeat our enemy. Hold on a bit more. 

I need you to to remember one thing. As hard as everything was today, in the end, you got it done. in the end, it is taken care of. In the end, we win. In the midst of the struggle, remember we always win in the end. 

I love you. Hang tough daughter.

God's plans...

My prayer:

Today was wonderful but went by much too fast. 

Every prayer I have tonight is for someone else. Thank you for hearing all of the prayers, healing, comfort, restoration, and creative miracles are all needed.

You are amazing and my provider. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Walking out into the unknown is scary and takes faith. Your future is not lost, it is just not obvious to you. 

I have a plan, or really plans, in play. Step forward, step out, trust me. I will take you where you need to go. 

I am your truth, your guide, your teacher, your savior, your Father, and your love. I will see you in the future I have specially designed for you.

Old dreams...

My prayer:

At peace, at home, and with you. Life is good! I love you and I don't need anything but to hear your voice tonight. 

What God Said Tonight:

It is never too late to let your dream out to breathe. A dream is a gift and the possibilities never die. 

Air out some old dreams. Let them see the light of day. Remind yourself of the hope you had before life made you hide it. 

I love you and I want to breathe life into some old dreams tonight.

You are free...

My prayer:

I worship you, my God. I praise your Holy name. I live in a constant place of gratitude because you are in me. I love you Father.

What God Said Tonight:

You are free to run around and find me. You are free to know the God who made you. 

You are free from all that would hold you back. You are free from all that tried to harm you. 

You are free. You are free. You are free. 

I love you.
