Alignment...

My prayer:

What a fun day God! Thank you for everything! It is going to take a bit to wind down from the excitement. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Did you recognize the peace in today? Did you recognize how everything had its own time and place? When that happens, you can be sure of my will is in control. 

When you question if you are in my will and you can't stop questioning. When you can't find peace in your spirit, that is a sign, most often that you are not flowing in my will. When your spirit is aligned with my Spirit and my will, there is peace. When it is not, there is not peace. 

It is how I can speak to you without words. It is how I can lead you without controlling you. I love you, now and forever.

God's battleground...

My prayer:

I am late but I am here. I have no idea how I survived today other than it had to be you carrying me through. Can we end this one with your sweet voice?

What God Said Tonight:

Things really are not always as they seem. It is something that is said a lot but that does not make it less true. 

There are so many aspects of life that you cannot directly observe. You sense the results of these changes, these upheavals, these battles, but you cannot see them. You sense that something is not right but you don't see anything out of place. 

You are my daughter and with that comes a sensitivity to the spiritual realm. Your peace comes from the spiritual realm. And, sometimes your lack of peace can come from there too. When life around you seems normal but you feel off balance, that is very often your sensitivity to the all that is going on behind the scenes. Do not discount the feeling but do not let yourself be too concerned either. 

The spiritual realm is my battleground and I will not be defeated. Not now, and not ever. My victories will be celebrated throughout time. I will fight these battles. I will win. Let your peace come from the assurance that I will always win in the end. 

I love you daughter. Go, rest.

Smooth rocks...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a day of complete rest! Nothing to worry about. Nothing to deal with. I really needed that. 

You are so good to me. Every year on this day when the US celebrates our freedom, I can't help but spend time thanking you for the freedom your love and sacrifice has given me. You are the source of my freedom. Without you, there is no me. 

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Even rocks change with time. A rock that is under water becomes smooth. A rock at the edge of water can become grooved and wavy. The water makes the change but where you are in relation to the water determines the results. 

I love you. When you are fully immersed in me, I can make you and your life smooth. My water will not harm you when you are immersed in me. When you are half in and half out, the world gets in the way of what I want to do in your life and it can leave you grooved and uneven. 

Immerse yourself in me and let me smooth out your ridges.

All your needs...

My prayer:

It is kind of crazy God. When I think I can't do anymore, you always do something, give me a second wind, give me a rest, somehow you just keep me going. I can't explain it but I have experienced it time and time again. 

It is one of the reasons that I don't say "no" to many opportunities. I know that if it is on my heart to do something, or is something that you have put in my path, you will give me what I need to do it, every time. 

Thank  you for being a God that I can count on every time.

What God Said Tonight:

Every time. Every day. Every where...I have heard that before. That is your morning prayer that my Will is done every where at all times. 

I am true to my word. I will give you everything you need. 

Sometimes people think I am just talking about money or provision when I say that. I am talking about so much more. 

If you need strength, I will give you strength. If you need healing, I will give you healing. If you need growth, I will grow you. 

I love you and I will fulfill ALL of your needs out of my riches in glory.

Ask anything...

My prayer:

I am trying really hard to look at this week as an opportunity for your glory God but the honest truth is I am dreading it. I am really going to need your help, every moment. Guide me, direct me, strengthen me please God. 

I am tired of the fight, which usually means I am trying to do it on my own and not relying on you enough. 

Sweet Father, I give it all to you. I am not tough enough for this battle but you are. Thank  you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I got it. I have got you. Is there anything I won't do for you? You are the apple of my eye and the core of my heart. I created you. I adore you. 

Ask anything, I will provide for you. Ask anything, I will heal you. Ask anything, I will shower favor on you. I love you. I love you. 

This week, I will show you that love in some really tangible ways. I will show you favor that is undeserved. I will show you power that is unbelievable. I will show you my love. 

Now and forever my love.

True contentment...

My prayer:

Today was perfect God. Thank you for every moment. I kind of don't want the day to end. Such peace and contentment. Your presence is so obvious tonight. I know you are always with me but sometimes I am more aware of you, like tonight, and it is really wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

Contentment is a state of your spirit. It does not originate in your mind or even in your heart. It is Spirit born and spirit lived. 

So many people chase contentment through changing their circumstances but that is not where you find it. So many people think, "If I could just meet the right person, get the right job, move to the right neighborhood...I would be content and happy." But the truth is, contentment comes from your spirit resting with mine. True contentment comes from faith and trust in me. 

Let you spirit dwell with me. Let my Spirit dwell with you. There you will find true contentment. I love you.

Temporary distractions...

My prayer:

We made it through this week God!!! I am sorry I have missed a few of these quiet times with you this week but thank you for letting me know you understand. 

For a lot of years I thought prayer and worship were an obligation I had to you. You had done everything for me and the least I could do was honor you with prayer and worship. And, I still think there is some truth in that; but, you have let me see it for the privilege that it is. You have shown me that your gifts and your love do not come at a cost. You are perfect.

Taking advantage of that privilege, I have to take a minute and thank you, praise you, for your healing power. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for healing my friend. Thank you for watching over my friend's medical procedure. You are a healing God and I am SO GRATEFUL!

What God Said Tonight:

Every day, every moment is a new chance to start again. There are no things that I can not make new. There is nothing that I can't turn for your good. 

With me, the 'hopeless' should not even exist as a word. With me there is always, always, always hope. 

I love you. Anything that has hurt you and anything that has come against you are only temporary distractions in a life blessed of God. I will see you victorious in all things.
