Today's purpose...

My prayer:

Awesome God. At the end of this day, I don't have much to show for it. But, I am grateful to end it here with you. Let me hear your voice and feel your Spirit. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Each day has its own purpose. Sometimes there is much to do and accomplish. Some days, the only accomplishment is to sit back and let the day pass. 

I love you, I am guiding you, and I will not let you down. 

Rest when it is time to rest. Move when it is time to move. Stay in rhythm with my will and my plan and each day will fulfill its purpose in your life.

Your true self...

My prayer:

I found myself giving advice today God that I think was actually more for me than for the other person.

I pray God that you help us each to recognize the value of who you made us to be. I want to stop seeing others and wishing to be more like them. I want to look at who you intend me to be and be the best me I can be. I pray for help finding this focus and making the most out of all that you have put into me God.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am shaping you. I am the potter and you are the clay. Your form, your function, and your purpose have been divinely inspired and produced. 

Your true self is all you can be. You may try to be other things, other people, but it will fail. I have a plan for your life and since you have given yourself to me, my plan will be realized in your life. 

Rest and ride in what feels natural, what you have peace about and you will find yourself growing in the path I have designed for you. My plans are not burdensome. They are not heavy or hard. They are intimidating at times, but once you step in, they are not hard to accomplish. 

I love you and I have made a way for you. 

The light of the world...

My prayer:

Awesome God. It is back to "normal" life tomorrow. I pray for the wisdom, strength, and renewed understanding to stick with me. I don't want to go back to going through the motions. I want to retain the amazement and joy that you have shown me. 

Help me God to see the joy and the light in each moment. 

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

There is light all around you and coming from within you. I am the light of the world and I am in you. That light is meant to illuminate all the joy that is around you. 

Look at life through my light and you will see the joy that you seek. 

I love you now and forever.

Preparing for tomorrow...

My prayer:

I am pretty tired of thinking and talking about me God. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

No person, great or small, knows what the next minute will bring. 

You live life trying to predict and prepare but the truth is, life will happen regardless of your preparation. How much better to trust me for your preparation. I know what tomorrow brings. I am already there.

Follow your passion and trust me to prepare you for what is next. I love you and I will see your heart's desires given to you. 

Wars and rumors of wars...

My prayer:

I have been confronted all day with the hostility of the world we are living in. When I look at what is going on in the world it seems like we have forgotten how to love each other. However, when I look in my life and the recent outpouring of love I received when I ran into a tough season, it seems like love is abundant. 

It is hard for me to understand the difference. Is it an artifact of the media and the excessive access to information through the internet? Do I live in a blessed bubble of love because of you? I would like to make sense of it if that is possible. If I can find the logic, it is less frightening. 

God, will you give me wisdom and understanding on this?

What God Said Tonight:

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. I mentioned this to you before and it is here. 

Some of what you hear about is real and some of it is rumors but all of it is a sign of the times we are in. In these times, there is great tragedies but there are also great blessings. 

I will provide for my children, not only sustenance but I will provide joy and love. I will provide everything you need to get through the hard times so you can arrive in paradise whole. 

I love you now and forever my child. I will provide.

Renewed you...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Life feels new, fresh, like anything is possible. God I hope and I pray that this lasts. Seeing life like this with nothing but possibilities is amazing and wonderful. I can't wait to see what you want to do next. My life 2.0!

What God Said Tonight:

New eyes to see, new ears to hear, a new heart to love. I have made all things new and all things are possible. 

The person you were in the past has served her purpose. I have a new season and a new purpose for you. In this season, I will need the renewed you. 

I will always give you what you need when you need it. Your life is not just a sum of all you have experienced. Your life is multiplication of my blessings in you to go throughout the world finding new places to live and to dwell. 

I love you. You are prepared.

Surgical Miracle...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I do not have the words to describe all that you have done in my life in the last several days but it cannot go undocumented any longer. You took an impossible situation and did the impossible. 

No body believed I could get through this without the major surgery but you had a different plan. Instead of a broken sternum and 2 months recovery, I have one incision, you took me home the day after the surgery and here I am, a few days later, well on the way to full recovery. 

I thank you for the doctors, especially the surgeon who refused to give up even though it was impossible. I thank you for favor throughout everything. Above all, I thank you for having a better plan. You are my healer and I am so grateful for you! Thank you for your miracle in my life!

What God Said Tonight:

I always have a better plan for you my child. I always have the best plans for you. 

You are my special child who I adore. I have formed you in your mother's womb and I have shepherded you though this life. I will never stop. You can count on me now and forever. No matter the circumstances I will come through for you. 

Be blessed. Live life with the gusto and assurance that I am in it with you and I will not let you down. We have so much more to do and now we have some more time to do it. I love you my child.
