Diamond...

My prayer:

Another amazing day God. I am so blessed by you. Now, my life has not been perfect, that we all know, but you are blessing me like crazy right now and I can't help but get excited and thank you for it! Thank you for everything today God. It was awesome, all of it.

What God Said Tonight:

A diamond does not look so beautiful in its original and natural state. Someone has to come along, cut, polish, and shape it. When done correctly, the beauty of that diamond shines through like nothing else. 

But it is beauty you have to find, you have to work for it. It doesn't just make itself known. 

Your life is like that too. There has always been great beauty within your life but it has taken years of shaping, and cutting, and polishing to let that beauty shine. 

I love you. shine on.

More for you...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I never knew. I never knew that you had this life in mind for me. I never knew I would love it so much. I didn't know this was possible. I really thought my life was over but instead, it was just beginning. It sounds trite, but it is true.

Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself. Thank you for turning everything for my good. Thank you for being my God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have more for you. I will always have more for you. 

We have an eternity together. Your life, your seasons never end. You have everlasting life in me and with that comes a continual renewal. A continual fresh start. 

This life, this season is a good one. The next is even better. I love you.

Right time...

My prayer:

Thank you Father for providing everything and doing it in such perfect but unexpected ways. You are amazing and I am so grateful I get to live life with you.

What God Said Tonight:

Every good thing is only truly good when it comes at the right time. A flower out of season will die. 

I have brought you good things but I have brought them at the right time. When I ask you to wait, it is not because I don't want to bless you. I am not punishing you. It is always because I know that there is a timing and a season to everything. 

Trusting my timing is  a hard thing to learn but if you can, you will experience great joy and blessings for the rest of your life, the rest of your existence. I love you and I will see you blessed in the right time. 

Rest season...

My prayer:

Thank you God for this time off from work. I pray in these next several days that you help me remember what is important and what isn't. I pray for rest, recreation, and rejuvenation. More than anything, I pray that we do it all together. Everything is better with you in the middle of it. 

What God Said Tonight:

Rest is important. Time to refill and refuel is needed. I created you in that way, times for work, times for play, and times for rest. 

Your life is about seasons. Sometimes a season lasts for months or years and other times a season may last a day or a week. Even other times, a season may last an hour. 

In this season, find your rest, find your center, and let the world and its troubles be on my shoulders. Trust me with every worry and every concern. Take this time and enjoy. I love you and I want to see you in joy.

Seek...

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful and peaceful day God. I don't really need anything tonight, I just want to be in your presence. I just want to hang out with you in the beauty and quiet that you have provide. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Our time together is precious. It is abundant but that doesn't make it less precious. 

Our time, our love, can never be too much but it can never be enough either. I will always want to spend time with you. You never need to ask. 

Seek me and you will find me. That is because I am always right beside you, behind you, in front of you, waiting for you to look my direction. To seek me. I am not hard to find but you do have to look. 

I love you sweet daughter and lets spend some time enjoying that tonight. Let spend some time enjoying the love. 

SIlver lining...

My prayer:

Well, you were not kidding when you said their would be attacks on my peace! What a roller coaster these last couple of days have been. I pray for discernment and understanding God. I pray for wisdom and direction. I pray, above EVERYTHING else, your will is done.

Thank you for being my Father, my Protector, my Saviour, and my God.

What God Said Tonight:

Every day, every moment, every person is an opportunity to know me and my kingdom. Recognize the value in every experience that it can draw you closer to me. 

In joy, we celebrate together. In trouble, you lean on me and learn to trust me. I am always the silver lining in every situation. 

Do not dread the "bad" times. Do not worry about what is coming next. Know that every experience, I will turn for your good. You are my child and I will bring value out of every moment of your life. 

I love you. Now and forever my child.

Remember peace...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I am grateful for balance and peace. I am grateful that I have finally come to a place in my life where I understand that my worth is not from what I do or don't do but from my heritage in you. I am grateful for this sanctuary that you have given me that I have had the time and the space to finally realize this. 

Help me to hang on to it. Help me to teach it to others or at least model the benefits for them so they want to find this with you. 

We talked about it for so many years. You taught me so many times. But it has taken every year, every lesson, every moment to get me to this place.

Thank you.

I likely have more work to do. As wonderful as this is, I would bet that there are still areas where I need to forgive, to let go, to receive wholeness. But knowing that does not take away from the joy of this peace, right here tonight.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you. I love you. I am yours, now and forever. 

Never forget this moment. Make a memorial, paint a picture, save this writing but do whatever you need to do so you remember this moment. 

There will be attacks on this peace. There will be those who will try to take it from you. It is not theirs to take but they will try. The enemy hates this peace. It is born in pure love and he hates that. 

When the attacks come, remember this moment. Remember this peace. Remember this confidence of who you are and how you got here. 

I love you my sweet daughter.
