Fear and faith...

My prayer:

Awesome God, thank you for the insight. It has made all of the difference. Now, I just have to hold onto that truth and trust you to take care of the details. 

You are so amazing. I am truly in awe of you and all that you do. Watching you work in our lives is like a beautiful symphony, every instrument and every note coming together to make beautiful music.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Fear is not a static thing. It is always growing or shrinking. It constantly responds to the level of your faith. Fear is not from me. Faith is from me. 

Faith is how you communicate with me. Faith is how you show your love for me. Fear is a weapon and a tool to chip away at your faith. 

You can think of it as a two sided scale, like the ones they use to use to measure gold. On one side is your faith and on the other is fear. The less fear you have, the more your faith raises up and vice a versa. 

It is the time now to completely wipe away that fear. Brush it off of the scale all together. This is a season of faith fulfilled and fear does not belong here. 

I love you wee child. Now and forever.

New paths...

My prayer:

Thank you for a beautiful day God. All I really want tonight is to hear your voice. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

New lanes, new paths are harder to walk than the old path you are use to but they take you new places. The path I have you on is not one that a lot have walked but it is one I have made especially for you. The journey and the destination are hand picked for you. 

Keep taking one step at a time and see what I will do. 

I love you sweet daughter.

Giving and receiving...

My prayer:

This journey of ever growing trust is not easy God but I believe it is worth the effort. Your blessings are unbelievable but they require trust that is not always easy to maintain. 

I pray God for your continued help, peace, and strength to walk this path that you have chosen for us. Thank you for giving us such amazing blessings. You are the BEST FATHER!

What God Said Tonight:

A journey worth taking involves work to get there. Remember not too long ago I spoke to you about sacrifice. It is still true. 

Giving and getting are intimately tied together. Give and you shall receive. 

I have the path carved out and there are times in the path that will require giving, sacrifice. As always, the initial step to give may be challenging Once you have given, it will be freeing and easy. 

I love you and this path is one of great joy. Joy in the giving and in the receiving.

Good work...

My prayer:

Thank you for your protection God. That was a rough drive home! 

I pray for the many people and their families that did not make it home or were injured. Life can be so fleeting God. One moment we are driving down the road and the next, we aren't and then there are the ones left behind. That pain can be even deeper. 

Wow, I did not mean to get so dark tonight God. I guess life is so wonderful right now, I don't want it to end.

What God Said Tonight:

I have not brought you this far to leave it all behind. I have a purpose on your life and that purpose is not complete, it has barely begun. We have a lot left to do yet. Get ready, the work has just begun. 

But, don't worry, it is good work. It is work that will fill you up and not drain you. It is work that flows in your purpose and your gifts. I have seen to it and it is coming together for you right now. 

Your next steps will be critical and will be natural. There is no going back and there is no giving up. You and me are in this together to the end and beyond. I love you.

Dream come true...

My prayer:

Awesome God! This really is a dream come true! Thank you for your generosity and for the miracles you have poured on my life. I sit here tonight, more blessed than I could ever truly imagine. Last year was a rough ride but if it is what prepared me for this, then HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! I am so grateful God.

Thank you for every obstacle that you took out of the way. Thank you for every last detail that you will work out. You are my everything God.

What God Said Tonight:

No one sees the end from the beginning, but I do. No one understands the purpose behind each event. So many ask "why" and the reasons are so very complex. I can try to teach you. I will do my best to reveal it. But in the end, if you trust me, let me move everything forward in right timing, you will experience joy, peace, and happiness in this life and the next. 

I love you and my only desire is to be your blessing. I love you both so much.

A stroll with God...

My prayer:

I am excited and scared all at the same time God. Definitely more excited than scared at this point but I will need you more than ever during the next several days. It still seems a bit impossible but you have taken care of every detail of this journey so far. I have no reason to believe you won't continue to do that.

I pray God that you guide our every step, every decision, every action, and even every thought. God, I fully surrender over to you. 

This entire journey could not have happened without your blessing and intervention. Thank you again for the dream and for fulfilling the dream. You are my everything!

What God Said Tonight:

Sweet child, reach out your hand to me. Hold my hand as we walk on together. The next part of the journey is no more than a stroll if you walk with your hand in mine. 

Feel the sunshine on your face and see the path that is laid before you. There is nothing to fear. I am with you. Come and take this stroll with me.

Little light...

My prayer:

I am out of words tonight God. Sounds like a good opportunity to listen instead. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

I have built my testimony in you. You will shine for the world to see that a life lived with me in it is amazing. 

I love you my little light.
