Small victories...

My prayer:

Today was interesting for sure God. A lot more challenges than I was expecting but it ended awfully nice. Thanks for being with me in all of it. You are my strength in the challenge and my joy in the celebration. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Flowers are beautiful but they do not last very long. A mountain is beautiful and it lasts for centuries and centuries. Which is more important? Which is more beautiful? The worth of a thing is not defined by how long it lasts. Rejoice in the brief moments of happiness. 

Rejoice in the small victories. There will be big victories, long lasting victories too. But those don't come around all the time. Don't miss the value of the small moment of joy. 

I love you. Rest in my love.

Help...

My prayer:

I need your help, your healing, your guidance God.

What God Said Tonight:

Your help is here. I am here. There is nothing too big for me. Sleep and know that I have already taken care of this latest attack. 

I have a plan. Stay connected and focused on me. 

I will see you healed and whole. 

I love you.

God did not bring the storm...

My prayer:

You are amazing and wonderful. Thank you for your healing power God! Thank you for your protection! 

You take such wonderful care of me.

What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Storms, the big ones, the ones that disrupt your life and cause damage. Those storms are not from me. 

I am there with you in the storm. I will protect you and keep you. I will restore what the storm takes from you. But I did not bring the storm. I did not send the storm. I can even use the storm for your good. But, I did not bring it. 

It is important to me that you understand that. It is important for our relationship. I never want  you to confuse who the enemy is. My intentions for you are always for good. Cling to me in the storm but please know, I did not bring it. 

I love you.

Life is...

My prayer:

Today was quite a mixed bag. Thank you for protecting me from myself. That fall could have really been bad but all I have is a scraped knee (not like that is a first for me)! Thank you also for letting me meet the great family from Australia on a year long trip here in the US. That was a lot of fun! Oh, and then there was the start of the day with that amazing hour of worship! That was fantastic!

I guess, when I look over the day, it was a pretty great day. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

You measure life based on the good vs. the bad but that is not what life is for. Life, the good and the bad, is the first step in an eternity. 

Life is the chance to work it all out, to get to know me, to choose eternity with me. Life is the chance to learn faith and trust in me. Life is also the joy of breathing, falling in love, seeing things for the very first time. There is joy and pain in life and it is all important. 

Learn to appreciate all aspects of life because it is all preparing you for the next season. I love you, now and forever.

Glory...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day God. Basking in your presence tonight. There really is nothing better. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

A day for fulfilled prayers. Today, there was an open heaven and my will poured out on all humanity. Not every prayer was fulfilled but a prayer from everyone who prayed was fulfilled. 

I am all mighty God and in these last days, I will let my glory shine for those with eyes to see. Have I got your attention? 

It is time to gather in the flock. The war is coming.

Blessings that last...

My prayer:

Thanks for the opportunity to be a blessing today God. I love when I get to be a part of making someone a little happier, a little stronger, a little more encouraged. That is a good day. 

What God Said Tonight:

Isn't it fun! I love blessing people. I love seeing their lives light up. It is my favorite thing to do. 

When I can't, when it is not in their best interest or when some other purpose keeps me from being able to bless someone, it literally is painful to me. 

Trust me, I will bless you all that I can as soon as I can. I can't resist! But, I will never bless you when that blessing will cause you more harm than good. 

It is why I have told you the lottery is not for you. If you look at most people who have won, you think it would make all their problems disappear. The real truth is, it magnifies their problems and most end up in a worse place than where they were before the lottery win. 

I love you and my blessings will last. My blessings will cause you joy and not harm. I love you now and forever.

Endurance...

My prayer:

I know so many people who are at the end of their rope right now God. Why is life so hard? Does it really have to be so hard? When are you coming back?

I pray for your strength and power to fall on us all God. Give the ability to make it through this season. We can't do it on our own.

What God Said Tonight:

Strength and power are not what is needed in this time. This time is for endurance. 

It is not fun. It is hard. It makes you feel like you won't make it. But with all endurance, when you hold on longer than you think you can, you come out of it stronger. You come out of it with new abilities and new confidence. 

This season is hard but this season is preparing you for the strength that will make you victorious in the next season. 

I will not leave you. You will not endure on your own. I am with you, now and forever. Nothing in this season will break you. Keep your eyes on me. Trust me. It is for a purpose, an essential purpose. 

I love you.
