Ever present help...

My prayer:

I ask for your help tomorrow God. It could be rough but I know with your help, it will all go wonderfully. 

Thank you for always making me succeed. Every success is a testimony of what the All Mighty God can do. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help. I will not leave you nor forsake you. I have loved you from before the time that you were formed in your mother's womb and I will love you for all eternity. 

You hare my child and as such, you are a royal priesthood that is destined to succeed. Every battle is won for the glory of God. 

Peace...

My prayer:

What a wonderful sense of peace you have given me tonight God. Not a peace from everything being wonderful but just a genuine peace and contentment. Thank you for that. These moments of peace are truly wonderful and a great rest from the craziness of everyday life. 

I know you have said in the past that this peace is there for us at any time. I have not learned how to live in this peace all of the time but I am grateful for the moments of it and I have hope that I will learn to stay in this place more and more. 

What God Said Tonight:

As the morning mist rises from the field of spring flowers, the beauty can take your breath away. The feeling of the cool mist on your face is like a kiss to start your day. 

Spring is so very close and the time for growing, playing, and celebration that comes with it. 

Everything is in place and ready for this next season. You will find many days of peace in it. Not that it will be uneventful. There will be a lot to experience, but at the base of it all, will be my peace. Your foundation will be my peace. 

I love you daughter and rest well.

Childlike joy...

My prayer:

Today came and went so fast, I feel like I blinked and it was gone. There was time for you to show your glory and kindness though. Thank you for all that you did today God. I give you all glory and honor. You are my reason for living and I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Remember the little girl from this morning? She had a light in her and a joy that is seldom seen anymore. 

I delight in children. They are often so close to the original creation before sin and the world got involved. 

Cherish the children. Look into their eyes and see the joy that I intended for everyone. 

One day soon. We will have that joy again and it will be forever. The new beginning is on its way. While we wait, let me love your hurt and scars away. 

Beautiful, broken...

My prayer:

Ok, so you were not joking when you said you would take care of everything today! WOW! '

The meeting I was so worried about, you made turn out better than I could imagine. Then later, when I thought I had made such major mistake at work and all evidence showed that I did not do what I should have done, somehow, you made that ok and suddenly it was clear that I had done everything I was supposed to! Then, to top it all off, you surprise me with one of the most amazing sushi dinners I have ever had (with the same group I was worried about meeting with earlier in the day). 

YOU ARE AMAZING and living as your kid is a lot of FUN!!!! Thank you Daddy! Feeling wonderfully spoiled tonight!

What God Said Tonight:

Some of he beautiful things are made out of other things that are broken. Consider stained glass. You take glass that is broken, shattered, and combine it with other broken glass to make a new and more beautiful design than the glass had in it's original unbroken state. 

Sometimes, the things we think are broken are merely being prepared to become more than they were before. More beautiful, stronger, everything. 

God's tomorrow....

My prayer:

It was nice to get back into the real world today God. Thank you for health and strength. 

I will need some more help tomorrow. There are challenges awaiting me tomorrow that I know I can't handle on my own. I am grateful that I know I never have to and that you are always with me and you are my ever present help. 

Thank you in advance for what you are going to do God. You are amazing.

What God Said Tonight:

You know the part of the prayer, "give us this day our daily bread?" There is great wisdom in that. 

Let me take care of tomorrow. You keep focused on now. 

I love you daughter and everything is under control and on the right path. Just keep up.

Move out and move on...

My prayer:

Hallelujah! You have restored my health God! Thank you! What a difference today. Thank you for health and strength. 

What God Said Tonight:

Furnaces are stoked and the engines are ready. The time to move is now. The time to go is here. 

I love you and I will guide you as always, but take the first step. It is time to move out and move on. 

I love you.

Another perspective...

My prayer:

I can not think of a thing that is worth talking about tonight God. All this rest has left me without a lot of thoughts or things to talk about. I am always ready to listen though. Is there anything you want to talk about tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Perspective can really change your experience of something. But even when you can't find a way to look at things from a different perspective, just knowing that there is a different perspective is sometimes enough. 

Know that this battle you are in looks one way to you but, there is another perspective. There is a perspective that is logical and shows the purpose behind the battle. 

I don't expect you to be able to see that perspective right now. You will one day. But right now, just know that it exists. That what you see and what you experience really is only one small part of the bigger story. 

I love you and I will see you through this battle.
