Overwhelming...

 

My prayer:

Facing a new week and a new opportunity to trust you. I am not sure what you have planned but I know that it is good. I pray for the patience to wait for your plan to unfold. I want things to move forward, to change so much that I am worried I might try to force it. 

The good news is, I know from experience that if I do try to force it, it will just fail and leave room for you to do what you planned in the first place. 

That is truly all I want God, your will to be done in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

I have plans and plans within plans. There is such intricacy and detail that I cannot begin to explain it but I promise, it is for your good. I promise that your plan is a vital part within the larger plan. I promise I have not forgotten you. 

The things that seem so large and overwhelming today will not take up so much space tomorrow. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever my child, my love.

Follow peace...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your guidance and most of all, your will in my life. Was today an open door, or the beginning of one? Or was it just a distraction? 

Lead me down the path you want me to be on. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Peace. Follow peace. Where you find peace, you will find my will. 

I have made a way clear and it will give you great peace. Walk in that peace and you will find yourself in the destiny I have for you in this next season. 

I love you my child.

Practice grace...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for today. Thank you for your reminders that you are in charge of my life. 

There is so much to fear and worry about, it can be so overwhelming and it just seems to build more and more every day. But everytime it seems like it is too much, you take me aside, remind me who I am and who you are and your peace fills me. 

Now, maybe more than any other time in my life, I am SO GRATEFUL to be your child. Thank you for saving me and redeeming me God. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for everything.

What God Said Tonight:

Now is not the time to be too focused on right and wrong. You are going to get a lot of things wrong in this season. You will not be able to help it. 

This is a season to practice grace. Practice grace with others and practice grace with yourself. As my child, as a reflection of me, that is what I ask of you in this season. 

When you see someone making a wrong choice or acting poorly, now is not the time to point a finger and judge. Now is the time to give them grace. To turn the other cheek. To forgive, again and again. Now is the time to recognize that your own thoughts and actions, while purely motivated, may be entirely incorrect and, your response needs to be to treat yourself with that same grace and forgiveness. 

I have redeemed the world. I have sacrificed for just a time as this. Your focus and full commitment in this time needs to be to grace. I love you sweet child. Rest well tonight.

Purpose and calling...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for today awesome God. You just peppered the day with beautiful little blessings. It made it much easier to get through the hassles that today brought. 

Thank you also for all that you are teaching me right now. I believe I will be a better person on the other side of this. Not perfect, but better. 

I love you God. Thank you for caring enough about me to teach me, to change me.

What God Said Tonight:

I have spoken to your heart. I have molded you like clay. I have refined you like gold. 

Would I spend this much time on you if I did not have a purpose on your life? Every child of mine has a purpose and a calling and yours is not over, it is barely begun. 

I love you and trust me, tomorrow will bring brand new things to your life. Let each of them be a celebration because they are my will for your life. Welcome them, every one of then. They will lead you to the next season where life and joy have no measure.

Safe...

 

My prayer:

I pray for your protection tonight God. Place your hedge of protection around us. Keep your guardian angels on guard. Keep us safe, protection, and whole. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

You need not live in fear, of anything. I am God almighty and I am your Father. 

I will guide you and protect you. I will lead you away from danger and I will fight to see you protected. I am your hedge of protection. I am your God. Nothing that threatens you shall get near enough to harm you. Nothing that is against you will prosper. 

I love you and I will keep you safe. 

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.
