Wake up...

 

My prayer:

Today was pretty confusing God. Not bad, just confusing. I remain surrendered to your will. I remain in awe of all that you do for me. I pray for your continued guidance, wisdom, and help.

What God Said Tonight:

Waking up is not hard. It happens when you are done with your sleep. 

It is true with wisdom as well. You can be "asleep" to an idea or a truth and one day, you wake up and realize what the actual truth is. 

Do not resist that new truth when you wake up to it. I promise, it is me who is waking you. Do not waste time in pride defending wheat you believed to be true before you awoke. There is no purpose or joy in that. Recognize you have woken to a new reality, a new truth, and move forward in that truth. 

I love you. Follow me.

God's will...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father, I think you may be showing me a path forward, a way through this mess. I pray that if it is your will that you open every door and guide us through every step. I pray if it is not your will that you close it down and make it plain. 

For right now, I am grateful for the hope for a different path forward. I am grateful for something to be passionate about that could make a difference. 

I am yours God. Show me your will.

What God Said Tonight:

There is no obstacle that can withstand my will to overcome it. I am the God of all and I will see my will accomplished. 

You, my child, are a part of that will. Your trust and your faith has made a way for you. Your salvation was the key that opened the door and your faith is the engine that propels you forward on your path. 

I will guide you. I will lead you. I will see you in your fulfillment, your completeness. 

I love you and great things are on their way. Great things are in the works. I am yours and you are mine forever.

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.
