No mountain...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for perspective tonight God. I love you and I am grateful for all that you have done for me. I pray for your careful protection for all of your children.

What God Said Tonight:

No mountain high enough to keep me from you my child. I love you now and forever. 

Clean slate...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for bringing me through this day God. I was not super proud of how I handled it. I could have been kinder, more patient, more filled with your peace. I wasn't. 

I pray that the fruits of your Spirit grow in me so I am a better reflection of you.

What God Said Tonight:

A day, a week, a year, even a lifetime is nothing more than a fleeting dust cloud in the wind. 

Eternity is where you live my daughter. Eternity is the yardstick of your life. 

Today is past and tomorrow will soon be gone. Let me erase the shortfall of yesterday and today and start each day, each minute with a clean slate. It is one of he benefits you have as a child of mine. 

I love you. You will have good days and bad days. But I will love you in them all. Shake it off.

Running water...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I think you may have told me to do something today that would be very hard to do. I appreciate that you also said it is not time yet to do it. 

I pray and ask God that you guide me and help me to do what you have asked me to do. I want your will to be done, I want to do your will but to be very honest, I fear the ridicule if I do this thing. Prepare me and the situation if this is your will God. Let me know when it is the right time and help me to say what needs to be said in the right way to accomplish your purpose.

Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Not every task for my Kingdom has to be a big and planned out event. I have a plan in this and when it is time, it will be so natural that you will do it and not even realize you have done it. 

I have a purpose and plan on your life and I only tell you of this thing ahead of time so that when it is done and you are second guessing what you have done, you can look back to this moment and realize you were only carrying out my will. I have a message that needs to be said and you are the one to say it, when it is time. But don't stress about it. It will flow like running water from your spirit when the time is right. 

Hide...

 

My prayer:

Here at the end of this day, I am grateful to be safe and well and in your presence. You are my everything.

What God Said Tonight:

I have lifted you above and I have hid you away in this time. My children, hide in my arms. Hide in the palm of my hand. Gather to me and I will see you safe and well. 

I love you. You and your life, your needs, they are of the greatest importance to me. When it is rough, reach out to me. Don't wait until it gets "bad enough" Bring it to me so we can deal with it as a puppy and not a full grown dog. I love you. 

Community and relationship...

 

My prayer:

Today was an interesting mix of experiences God. Thank you for your favor. Thank you for the time to reconnect with some people. There were definitely challenges today as well, not all of which I faced well. But, thank you for your grace and mercy that fill in where I am lacking. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Each barley head is made up of many seeds. Each seed has many parts. I have created you to live in community, in relationship. 

You see it all throughout nature and you have yet more to discover about the depth of the relationship of things. You can drill down to the smallest bits of manner or scale up to the solar systems and universe and you will see the same patterns. Smaller things coming together to make larger things. Then those larger things coming together to make even larger things. 

I am your God and I am the Trinity. I am built upon community and relationship so you, made in our image, are definitely built on relationship. Know that your part, no matter how small, is a part of the bigger plan. And that plan is part of a bigger still plan. And so on and so on. 

I love you my child. 

Joy eternal...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I am working very hard to find the joy in the midst of everything else and I am getting better at it but it is not always easy. 

I pray for your help to direct my thoughts toward you and toward hope and joy. You have provided me with so many blessings and so much joy. I refuse to let the enemy steal that from me with his ridiculous lies. 

Guide and direct me Lord. I pray, as always that your will is done.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you. Your joy is my joy. Heaven rejoices at the blessings of a believer. 

Your struggles are temporary. Your joy is eternal. 

I love you now and forever and you will not walk this journey alone. A good Father sees his children prosper. I am your good Father.

WIth God...

 

My prayer:

A beautiful day God. Thank you for every minute. Now, I get to spend time with you, it does not get better than this.

What God Said Tonight:

A moment, a day, an hour in my presence will give you the strength for everything else. 

I am with you always. You are not always with me. Turn your thoughts toward me, lean into me, speak to me, and I am there. I love you and the power of my love will fuel your life, when you take the time and the effort to turn to me. 

In the midst of every other demand on your time and attention, do not forget to turn to me. I will give you all that you need.
