Sprouting a tree...

My prayer:

I pray for peace, and joy, and love, and understanding God. I pray for a kinder world. I pray that your Kingdom comes, as soon as is possible. I want to live in the world you intended for us, not the world we polluted. And, when we do, please help us not to mess it all up again.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You know how sometimes you will sprout a tree in a pot first, to help it get a good start and to help it grow strong before you plant it in its final destination. That is the best I can do to describe your season right now. 

I have been growing you in isolation so that when you are planted in your destination, you are strong enough to withstand the wind, the weather, the attacks against you. 

A well grown tree can withstand any storm. One who is planted too soon will be ripped out by the roots and die. I have you in for the long tern my child. 

I love you, now and forever.

Wash over you...

My prayer:

Thanks for such a light and carefree day God. I can't remember the last time I had one of those. I may not know what tomorrow will bring but tonight, I have a smile on my face and no worries in my head. That feels really good. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Let me wash over you. Let me take every care away. Let my current carry you in my will. Let me wash over you. 

Soak in me and let me make you holy. Let me make you pure. Rest in the water. Lay back like you did at the Dead Sea and let me keep you buoyed. 

I am air to your lings and water to your soul. I will never leave you. 

Rest in thankfulness...

My prayer:

Today was really wonderful God. I love Thanksgiving., A whole day to be thankful, great food, great people, there is nothing not to love. Thank you for everything God. You are everything to me.

What God Said Tonight:

Rest in me. No worries, no demands on you or your time. Just rest and trust that I will take care of everything. 

Nothing is impossible...

My prayer:

Each day raises the bar and somehow, each day, you make me succeed anyway. Thank you for doing the impossible again today. I am just hanging on to your coattails (prayer shawl tails. I love you. I am grateful. Let's see what tomorrow brings. 

What God Said Tonight:

Nothing is impossible. I did not just say that to say it. It is true. All things are possible through me. 

When you live you life in the full realization of who I am and that I am in you, the impossible just becomes one more way to show my glory. Recognize the impossible as a barrier to the world and as a blessing and opportunity to you. 

You have the power to overcome anything. You have my power in you to achieve the impossible. 

I love you now and forever.

Easiest and hardest...

My prayer:

My mind is racing tonight God but no one thought is slowing down enough to talk about it. I pray for peace and I pray, above everything else, that your will is done. 

What God Said Tonight:

Walking in my will for your life is the easiest and the hardest thing you will ever do. I never intended it to be hard. It is designed to work with how you were made. But this world has a tendency of breaking in you the very thing I created you to be. 

So, when you seek my will and walk in my will for your life, I have to build up and heal that core of you that I put in you from the beginning. 

Healing hurts. But, in the end, I promise it is worth it. There is no better feeling in the world than walking in my perfect will for your life. There is no greater joy. My healing will be perfected in you. My will shall be perfected in you. You are mine and I am yours, forever.

Rest now...

My prayer:

I love you Lord. I don't need anything tonight but to hear from you. 

What God Said Tonight:

Rest my daughter. The day is done and the labor is complete. There is nothing left for you to do but rest. 

Tomorrow will have its own challenges and things to do but tonight is only for rest. Breathe in my peace and breathe out the stress of today. Keep breathing and let me fill you. 

I love you. Now and forever.

Nothing too big...

My prayer:

I poured out everything I have today. Nothing left in me. Fill me up God.

What God Said Tonight:

A broken window may not shatter all at once but once breached, it will eventually break and crumble. 

You have two choices. Either keep yourself protected and live your life between two bullet proof sheets or you can let the crack happen, sweep up the pieces of glass, and find a new use for them. 

Your life is not static and tomorrow does not ahve to be like today. Tomorrow can be a whole new world. A kaleidoscope of your past experiences with a view toward the future. Nothing is too big to dream. Nothing is to big to hope for.
