God's pride...

My prayer:

I don't really have anything to talk about tonight God but I love to listen. Speak to me?

What God Said Tonight:

It has been hardly a moment since I first found you. I created you. I knew you in your mother's womb, but it was not until I found you and you invited me into your heart that you could know me so I could really know you. 

It was just a breath in time and since then, I have loved every moment we have had together. You have grown and healed. You have become strong and then vulnerable. You have rebelled and you have submitted. 

I have more of a journey for you and me. I have an eternity for us. 

I take no pride in my glory but I take great pride in my children. You are mine and I am yours forever. Nothing will uproot us and nothing will bring us down. We will withstand every storm and we will be victorious. 

God is greater...

My prayer:

Two days and counting to the big trip! I can't wait to see what you are going to do. The possibilities are endless. I pray your will be done.

What God Said Tonight:

Be prepared. You will look out over my people and you will feel a love for them you have never known before. 

The need is great, but I am greater. The pain is real but so is my healing. 

I love you and you are perfectly positioned. No plans are needed. Lean on me.

Preparing...

My prayer:

It is funny. I am at peace but also really excited tonight. I am not sure I have ever experienced both of those things at the same time before. 

I have such peace that must be coming from you because it makes no sense otherwise. And, at the same time, I am so excited about this trip you have planned for us. I can't wait to see what you are going to do! Normally, when I get this excited, I am jittery and anxious but I feel nothing but peace. I like this! 

Love you Daddy and thank you for hearing my prayers for your healing in my friend. I can't wait to hear the praise report!

What God Said Tonight:

Trust yourself and treat yourself. This has been a long time coming. 

You have been preparing for a month. I have been preparing for an eternity. 

God's plan...

My prayer:

Thanks for getting me through this day. It was long, cold, and wet but there were some good moments too. I asked this morning to help me to see the joy in this day. Thank you for the moments of joy and the underlying peace that blanketed the day. You sure are wonderful!

What God Said Tonight:

Mapping your way to your future is not a bad thing but don't get so stuck in your plan that you miss my plan. I will give you the desires of your heart but keep in mind that the blessings I have for you are greater than you can contain or understand. 

Keep you mind and your spirit open to see all that I have for you instead of the small portion that you can imagine right now. My love is beyond your comprehension and my grace covers it all. 

I love you. Be open to all I have for you.

No barriers...

My prayer:

It is good to be here with you tonight. A long day. God, I want to hear your voice and your words. Speak to my spirit and my heart. Let me feel your presence.

Thank you Jesus for giving me the right to ask.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes you are outside the window looking in and sometimes you are inside, being watched. Either way, the window keeps you separated. 

With me, there is no window, no barrier, nothing to keep me from you or you from me My blood removed all barriers. My sacrifice paid every price. 

I love you. 

Clean off my heart...

My prayer:

Thank you for the opportunity to be a blessing today! It felt great to be able to bless someone for no reason except they were there. She was so surprised! What a great way to end the day.

What God Said Tonight:

Opportunities are abundant. Your eyes are not always open to them. 

Your heart is distracted and covered with years of leftover junk that has been plastered on. There were reasons for each layer but they serve you no purpose now. Now they are just rotting layers of pain that keep you from connecting and loving your fellow man. 

Let me clean off your heart and make it new again. Let me remove the layers of pain that life has put on you until I reveal the young and perfect heart again. 

I love you and I will heal you to love. 

Love is the key...

My prayer:

Awesome God. My prayer tonight is to ask that you teach me how to love people like you do. Too often, I let my own issues and impatience get in the way and I miss out on the love all around me. Help me to love better. Fill me with your love.

What God Said Tonight:

Love is a gift and love is a presence. 

My love, the never ending unconditional love, is rare and precious. My love will change the world and save humanity. My love has the power to revolutionize a people. My love sacrifices and gives. My love comforts and heals. 

I love you and through that love, you can learn to love those around you. You are not me but you can learn from me. 

Remember my love when you are frustrated. Remember my patience with you when you run out of patience with others. Follow my lead and you will find yourself loving like never before. 

In this world and the next, love is the key.
