This moment:

 

My prayer:

What a wonderful day God. Thank you for the fun, the work, the beauty, the rest, and the laughter. Thank you for the break from the struggle and the worry. You are amazing and I love that I get to live this life with you.

What God Said Tonight:

Leaving the past behind and the future ahead is a good way to live your life. This moment is what you have. 

I am in all times at all times but you get this moment. Enjoy it. Let this moment be enough. 

The past is gone and I am taking care of tomorrow so live this moment and soak up every blessing I have in it for you.

Worry into daydreams...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am doing my best to follow your instructions. It is harder than it should be. You have blessed me so abundantly, it should be really easy to focus on that and leave the worries up to you. It should be, but it isn't.

I want to. I make every effort and then one idle moment and I am right back running different scenarios through my head. Even just now, talking about it and my mind starts racing.

It looks like I am going to need some more help God. Thank you for the frequent reminders today to stop and focus on you. That was really helpful. I can use all the help I can get with this one.

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Stay right here with me. 

When your mind begins to race, when your thoughts go down that path, switch the story. Start to remember all I have done for you and start to imagine all I will do for you. Imagine all of the wonderful options we have for your future. 

I will bless you. That is a promise. So, if you find yourself worrying, turn it into a daydream. Turn it into and excuse to dream of all that I could do for you. 

It will help, I promise. I love you now and forever my child.

God's job...

 

My prayer:

Today was rough God. Thank you for giving me your peace throughout it all. A year ago, if I had a day like this, I would have lost it and probably said and done some things that I was not proud of.

I pray for guidance and direction through this latest challenge. You are my guide and my teacher and I am very grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you sheltered in my hand. I have you protected and blessed. 

Spend more time looking at and seeing the blessings I have showered you with and less time at the latest attack. I will take care of the attacks. I promise. I will not see you destroyed by the enemy. You really can focus on the blessings right now. I will take care of everything else. 

We have come to a point in time, a point in our relationship where your job is to rest and trust. My job is everything else. 

I love you. Let me do my job.

Confidence...

 

My prayer:

What a great day God. Thank you for the luxury of resting, worshiping, and playing. You are such a good God and you are so good to me. I pray for your guidance and help as we step into another week. Who knows what this week will bring. I only know that you will help me through whatever comes. 

What God Said Tonight:

A week, a day, a month, a year. No matter the time frame, no matter the circumstances, I am forever on your side. 

Your confidence is strong in me. The world may be as unstable as a boat deck in a hurricane but you are mine and I will not let you be swamped. I will not let you drown. 

I reassure you so often because I know how hard it can be when all you hear is the reasons to fear. I will continue to tell you and show you all of the reasons you can hope. All of the reasons you can count on me. All o the reasons you can know that there is a great and mighty future for you. 

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

Fire...

 

My prayer:

I am so excited to see what you are doing in our lives God! You are asking us to trust you in some crazy ways but you are blessing us in even crazier ways! 

Thank you for being so amazing and thank you for letting me get to witness your greatness!

What God Said Tonight:

Not every fire is sent to destroy. Some fires are meant to clean out the old and make way for the new. My Holy Spirit fire is moving across the world. 

There will be more to see and more to be a part of. A time is coming when all old things will fall away and all things will be made new. 

I love you and your blessings have just begun.

Unique path...

 

My prayer:

Day by day. That is where I am at right now God. Just taking each step, day by day, and trusting that you are taking care of the destination. I cannot imagine trying to get through this season without you. I am very grateful that I don't have to. 

Thank you for your blessing, salvation, peace and healing God.

What God Said Tonight:

No man, woman, or child has ever walked in the shoes you are walking right now. Your path is unique. I have a separate path for each of my children and it is as unique to them as their fingerprints are. 

To follow your path, you must trust in me for guidance. I am the only one who knows where the path goes and where it ends up. I will be your trail guide and I will never leave you behind. You are my treasured child. 

The worries of today will honestly mean so little in the future glory. I know it seems very intense and overwhelming right now but like so many troubled seasons, when you are through it, it will seem like dust blowing away in the wind. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Being shaken...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't have any new prayers. I trust you and ask nothing more and nothing less than your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

What God Said Tonight:

See me. See me in the grace that surrounds you. See me in the beauty. See me in truth that remains the bedrock. 

Everything else will be shaken down. But what will be left are me and my people. The time has come for the great harvest and the culling of the fields. I will leave no one behind but it is time to pack everyone up for the next season. 

I love you.
