Waves...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. You really did take care of everything like it is was no problem at all just as you said you would! Thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without you.

I am so grateful to be yours.

What God Said Tonight:

Waves. Your life is being lived in waves right now but as you learn to ride the wave, as you learn to trust me to keep you on top of the wave, everything becomes much easier. 

When you stand on the shore and take the waves straight on, they will wear you down and eventually knock you down. 

You are not to stand on the shore and let the waves beat you down. Your place is with me, riding the waves and using those same waves to propel you forward. 

I love you my daughter.

A great day...

 

My prayer:

I pray for your help tonight God. You always tell me when I need help, just ask for it. I am asking. There is more than I can do, more than I can handle on my own. It is only with you stepping in that I make it through this successfully.

Thank you God for destining me to succeed and for being my ever present help. You are amazing.

What God Said Tonight:

A great day. A day that gives you more than you can handle and you don't panic, you don't drive yourself into the ground. You step back and you ask for help. You have come a long way my child. 

I am your ever present help and I will destine you to succeed. I love you and I will walk you through this. 

It is not what it seems. It seems big and overwhelming but it is not. It is nothing more than a bump that you will quickly run over. 

I love you, I am with you. You can rest in the peace that I am yours and you are mine.

Remember...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the opportunity to be an encouragement to a friend today. I love how you always take me through the exact thing that I need to be able to help others around me. Nothing is wasted with you. 

God, I ask that you show me how to have more grace toward others. I find myself being frustrated and angry because others can't see what is so plain to me and that frustration and anger makes things worse, not better. How can I get angry about people getting angry? I don't know, but I find a way. 

I pray for your grace to live in me God. Help me to see people as you see them. Help me to love them like you love them.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A marble in a sand pile is obvious. A marble in a pile of marbles is hard to single out. I have made you different for a purpose and you stand out. 

I have shown you things that make many other things seem obvious. That is not something that everyone has seen. I have shown you so you can help, not judge. I have shown you so you can support and love, not find fault and get angry. 

Remember the gifts I give you are for a purpose. One purpose is my love for you but there is always a second purpose and that second purpose is not directly for you. 

Remember who you are. You are my child. Remember why you are here. You are here to spread my love and my word. Remember that you will one day soon be with me in heaven and every trial and struggle will seem like nothing in the constant presence of my glory. 

I love you. 

I am with you...

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for your guidance today. Thank you for the amazing worship and the great message. I have been thinking about that message all day and that aspect of what am I afraid of. 

I guess at this point in my life, I am afraid of losing this amazing you life you have given me. I am not afraid of dying but you have blessed me so much with this home in this place with amazing family. I am afraid that something will happen to ruin it. I am afraid of living outside of your will and the consequences that can bring. Those are the two biggies. 

Those fears, now revealed, I give to you God. I pray for your peace in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Fear that stops you, that paralyzes you is a fear that should be vanquished. Fear that motivates you is a fear that should be understood. 

I am with you, now and always. Your life, will change, but I will be with you when it does. Your choices may not always be what I would choose for you but I will be with you in it. 

The part of the message I needed you most to hear today is that in every situation, I am good and I am with you. In the glory and in the struggle. I am with you and we can rejoice in that. 

I love you my sweet child. Rest and see tomorrow with me.

Changes...

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for your guidance and thank you for your peace. I feel like I have learned so much from you this week. I pray that I can hold onto the knowledge and not slip back into old comfortable ways.

I pray for help to live in the new knowledge you have given me.

What God Said Tonight:

A new night, a new day. No change is ever really expected but everything is always changing. It is a paradox that you can know that everything is always changing but be reluctant to accept the change that is in front of you right now. 

I love you and the changes I bring you are always for your good. I will see you through them and on the other side, there is a life that is one day better than yesterday. 

I love you sweet child. Rest in my love.

The core...

My prayer:

What an interesting week God. Thank you for bringing me through so much and giving me the experience and empathy to help others going through similar things. That is something you have done my entire life. There really is nothing that is wasted. You turn everything for my good and then you use it to help others. That makes for a pretty good life. 

I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

There is a core that is building. A solid, strong, calm core that is building and growing everyday. This core will be the foundation of the future. This core will be the platform that the next season is built on. 

You are a part of this core and this core is being built in you. Each of my children have this core being built within them and when they come together, the combined core that is formed will be strong enough to hold up the world. 

I love you, now and forever.

Orchids and weeds...

My prayer:

Today was not easy but I did feel your peace throughout it all. I pray for your continued guidance and favor God. This world can be a tough place to live. I am grateful I don't have to live here without you.

What God Said Tonight:

A weed can grow anywhere, even in places you don't want it. An orchid needs very specific conditions to grow and to thrive. Which is more valuable?

It depends on what you need. If you need just the beauty than the orchid is valuable and rare. If you need something that will thrive with little to no attention, than the weed is your best bet. 

I love orchids but I love weeds too. Everything has a place and a purpose in the Kingdom of God.
