Stronger together...

My prayer:

I have to trust you God. You are my everything. You tell me that everything has a purpose and you are in control. I trust you and pray your will is done. That is all I know how to do.

What God Said Tonight:

A frayed rope is weak but not broken. If seen in time, it can be strengthened with other cords of rope. Often, the repaired rope is stronger than the original one. 

I am bringing to your damaged areas, those people who can make you stronger than you ever were before. The time for making it on your own is over. The time to link up with brothers and sisters in my name has come. 

I love you.

Repel the attack...

My prayer:

Thanks for our alone time together God. I really needed that. Thanks for catching my tears and guiding my steps. I do not know what tomorrow has for me but I am at a much greater place of peace tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

The roots and the vines of a tree feed the tree. The flowers and the buds of a tree are the fruit. The bark is the protection and the trunk is the base that all else is supported by. There is no part of the tree that is greater than any other but each part serves its purpose. 

Sometimes, when something attacks a tree, the sap and the bark work to expel the attack. That my daughter is you now. I have sent you in to repel the attack. 

It is not fun work but it is vital. Do not give up the fight. Do not avoid the fight. Trust me to strengthen you and keep at it. 

The attack must be repelled or the tree will fall. I love you and I am with you in this and in all things.

Come and rest...

My prayer:

There were a lot of little things to be grateful for today God. Thank you for every blessing and thank you for every thing you protected me from. I am ready for some rest time. Life is pretty exhausting right now. I need you more than ever.

What God Said Tonight:

Come and rest. 

There are things to do, to learn, to experience, but not right now. right now, lay your head on my chest and close your eyes. I will keep a watch out and keep you safe. I will make sure that you awaken in time for the next big thing. 

Just relax and rest in me. There is not a single thing for you to worry about or to do until I wake you. 

I love you sweet daughter. Sleep well and dream big.

Broken glass...

My prayer:

I am all talked out God. My listener is still working though. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Fractured. Like a mirror that is shattered. You look at life right now and that is how you see it. I have a different view. 

I see the makings of an amazing stained glass window. Those shards that look broken to you are the perfect size and shape for the picture I have planned. I will use your brokenness to create something beautiful that is a blessing to you and everyone around you. 

I did not break the glass but I will use it for your good. Trust me as I move around the pieces and put them back together. The new creation will be more beautiful than it was to begin with.

Trusting God in the chaos...

My prayer:

Whoever first said, "The older I get the less I know" was SO RIGHT!!! I don't know much God but I know enough to rely on you. In this crazy, constantly changing season, I am SO GRATEFUL that I have you to lean on. I would never make it without you.

What God Said Tonight:

Just breathe. I know it is a lot to take in right now but I have prepared you for this. 

Nothing, I mean nothing that is happening right now is a surprise for me. I knew from the beginning of time that this day, this moment, in all of the seemingly craziness, was going to happen at this time. 

I have a purpose and a plan even for this. I have not been caught unaware and I am not scrambling for the next steps. I am in control and I will see this entire, and I mean entire situation work for your good. I am on your side and I have great plans for you. 

Learning to trust me completely in the chaos is important for now and even more important for the future. 

I love you and I have got this.

Getting through it...

My prayer:

God, I pray for new perspective. I need to find the hope and the joy again. Right now, the only thing I am really looking forward to is eternity with you. Everything in between seems like unnecessary drudgery.

If this is part of the battle you talked about, help me to fight it. If this is just me looking at the wrong things, help me to see the right things. Whatever this is God, I ask for your help to get through it.

What God Said Tonight:

I am sending you love in waves tonight. Receive my love.. Let it wash over you. Let it wash away the pain and scars. Let it fill you with my light. 

I am with you. I have never left you. I will never leave you. 

You say that what you look forward to is eternity with me. Well that eternity has already started. You and me together forever my love. 

When it all gets too much this week, take a minute, close your eyes, and remember this shower of love. Remember you have me in your corner. Take just a minute to reach up and touch me. Let my love, my strength, my power, get you through. 

Now and forever my love.

A coming battle...

My prayer:

Thanks for the rest day God. It was good to not have to deal with much of anything. 

What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I walk where you will follow and I will be your guide. I am bringing together great forces for the next season. 

A battle is upon us and is coming so very soon. We win the battle but the fighting will be fierce. those who do not know me will literally die from fear. 

I have sheltered you and raised you. I have taught you and I have strengthened you. Have you not wondered why? You are needed in this battle. All that you have learned is needed in this battle. Most of all, you will need to follow my lead. There is safety in my wake. There is great peril outside of it. 

I love you. You are prepared.
