Blessings and cursings...

My prayer:

I can't stop praising you. I can't stop being grateful for what you have done in my life. Yes there are still struggles and there are still challenges in life but every time something comes up, all I have to do is look around at the amazing life you have given me and how you have blessed me and I can't do anything but praise you.

I have sung songs like that for years, "Just can't stop praisin' you!" but I don't think I ever really knew what it meant until now. 

THANK YOU FATHER GOD!

What God Said Tonight:

Never have you seen what you are about to see. There are blessings and cursings that are all within the plan but are going to be hard to believe. 

I will bless my people. You will be set aside. In such a time as this, you will be protected. But you will have to trust me. 

There will be storms and whirlwinds that are taking out everything around you. As the debris flies, look to me and know that I am God. 

Know that I will care for you. Know that I will protect you. You can always count on my protection and my love. I will not leave you. Keep our trust and your eyes focused on me and we will see the other side together.

Isolation...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. You are my teacher and my guide. I am so grateful for all that you do. You have given me a fresh appreciation and zeal for life. 

What God Said Tonight:

A tree in a forest has beauty and purpose on its own but becomes all the more beautiful and all the more purposeful when it is with the other trees in the forest. To be clear, it cannot be a forest without the other trees. 

I love you my daughter and I have made you and formed you. But you must understand, to be all that I have called you to be, you must be among those that I have also formed and intended to grow with you. You in isolation will never be all that you can be. 

I made you for relationship, and that is not just intended to be a relationship with me. I love you now and forever. Be with those I have called you to.

Live today...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for every breath in this life you have given me. I pray for wisdom, health, and favor. You are my source for everything God. I love you with all that I am.

What God Said Tonight:

A long time past, there was a family who could do noting but wander, looking for the dream they had lost when they were young. They looked everywhere, never spending more than a night or two in any one place. They never found their lost dream but their lives were full of joy, family, and adventure. 

Your experience of life is not about where you are or even what you are striving for. It is about recognizing the value of this moment, with these people, in this time. I know it has become cliche but live in the moment. 

Yesterday truly is gone and forgotten and tomorrow will take care of itself. Live today and wring out every last drip of joy and life. I love you. I have forgiven your past and I will take care of your future. Live today.

A time is coming...

My prayer:

Thank you God for discernment and favor. Help me to be the person you intended me to be. Restore me God.

What God Said Tonight:

A time is coming where everything that seems so important today is left in the dust. A time where the irritations seem like only vague memories and the pain is nothing more than a faint scar. 

A time is coming where the true worth of life and eternity will be seen and recognized fully. 

There is much to strip away to find that place and that time. There is much that I will heal so that you might see it. 

I am your healer. I am your savior. I am yours, now and forever.

Timing...

My prayer:

I sit in peace in your presence tonight God. Let me hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

A day, a night, a week, a month, timing in this world is not like my timing. Timing in this world moves in one direction and while it seems to go faster or slower, it really just moves forward one step at at time. What I want you to hear is timing and time, in my Kingdom has to do with purpose much more than it does the passing of moments. 

I exist in all time, the beginning and the end. What that gives me the luxury of doing is choosing the precise time for each event, each blessing, each lesson, so that it has the most beneficial response. I can do that. 

What you need to then do is wait out the moments for that precise, and perfect time to arrive so that you can experience what I have for you. 

I understand it is not easy. The waiting is never easy. Moments can seem to take eons to pass. But in truth, in the end, I will make it worth it to you. I will show you overflow blessings. I will wrap you in the glory from my Spirit. 

You are not alone, in the blessing and in the waiting, you are not alone. I will see you through, every time. 

Work to do...

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for today. Thank you for who you are growing me to be. Thank you for the peace and serenity that allows me to be the person you intended me to be. Thank you for health and for protection. Thank you for wisdom. Thank you for favor. You have blessed me so abundantly, there is not enough time or space to thank you for it all.

What God Said Tonight:

Working for a goal is satisfying if you reach the goal. Working for the satisfaction of doing well and doing good leaves you feeling fulfilled every day. 

I have work for you while you are still living here. It is work that is important but wont feel like work as it will be as easy as breathing. It will have great purpose and great value. It will leave you feeling fulfilled, every day. 

I have work for you to do but never think that it is drudgery or sacrifice. Those days are done. I have paid your debt so you can live free and in my glory. 

I love you.

Given not earned...

My prayer:

I am blessed and thankful Lord. I truly thank you for my life God. Not just in a casual, thank you for giving me life in general, but THANK YOU for giving me THIS life, the one I am living right now. Thank you for giving me the desires of my heart God. You are amazing and I love you SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

A cost is always owed but it is not always owed by you. 

When a present is given, someone pays for the gift, but it is not the one who receives it. The Kingdom of God is like a present. It is paid for but you did not buy it. It is offered but you cannot just take it. 

I have chosen you my child to be a part of my Kingdom. I paid the price that you could come. I paid the price that you might live in health. I paid the price for your salvation. You are my child and I have paid for you to have all the best of this world and the next. 

I don't expect you to pay for it. For you to offer or to think you could pay for it is almost insulting. You do not get blessed because you have done something right. Your blessings are not a result of your good behavior. Your blessings, paid for by me, are a gift given by me from my love for you. 

I love you and I want you to have the best life. I have told you some things you can do that will help you have the best life. But, doing those things does not earn you a blessing. Doing those tings does not pay for your salvation. It is paid for, it is finished. 

I love you sweet child and the best thing you can do for me now is to enjoy all that I have given you, all that I have paid for so you can have it.
