My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for a wonderful weekend full of joy and snow and reasons to relax. I pray and ask for your direction and guidance as I go into the work week again. Teach me what I need to know and tell me where I need to go. I love you God and I trust you. I pray your will be done.

What God Said Tonight:

Rest and know that my plan is yet in motion. I have not forgotten you and I have not forsaken you. In the midst of all that is happening, my thoughts and my plans are still for you. 

I will lead you into green pastures. I will love you throughout eternity. My love will heal you and those around you. My love will strengthen you. My love will guide you. 

Follow my love. Follow my peace and you will walk into a mighty promised land.

Thoughts...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for help over my thoughts. My mind can race and dwell on things that I know are not right, not good, not anything that is helpful to me or anyone else. I can feel it happening but I so often seem to have little ability to stop it. I ask for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

A thought is nothing. It has no substance, but it has great power. A thought is the initiation of nearly everything. Thoughts are powerful, but not all powerful. 

I have dominion over the world and I can have dominion over your thoughts but only if you want me to. Only if you ask. I love you now and forever.

When you give me dominion over your thoughts I will fill you such great love. You will see others through the lens of my love. That is what it means to have the thoughts of me. My thoughts, all of them, are 100% steeped in love. 

Self identity...

 

My prayer:

Well, life certainly is not boring these days God. You have blessed me so abundantly in so many ways. I sometimes wonder if the struggles and attacks are really that bad or if they just seem bad because everything else is so good. I honestly don't know. But, I do know that you are in charge, you love me, and you will guide my steps. That is really all I need to know.

What God Said Tonight:

You are bathed in purple robes of royalty. You are set on a high platform and you are honored. You are the high priest's son and you will not be defeated. 

All of these things are true for you, not because of anything you have done but just because of who you are and who I am. It is not something to be proud of but it is something to be confident in. 

Never seek the approval of those around you. It will lead you into dark places. Never try to prove your worth, it is already proven. 

I am your God and I have established you, now and forever.

Vanity...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Another wonderful day. Thank you for every blessing and the peace of today. I am walking back into the battle tomorrow but I am calmly confident with you in front, beside, and behind me. Thank you for everything.

I ask for forgiveness and help with vanity. It snuck up on me a couple times today. It is really ugly and I know you don't like it. Thank you in advance for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

A lot can be said for taking the time to identify and name the thing that has ahold of you. Things like vanity and pride, anger and wrath, they are related but not exactly the same so identifying them is half the battle of overcoming them. 

I am your strength and yor power against every affliction that comes after you. I have healed your body and I have healed your heart. I can and will heal this too. 

I love you daughter and we are not done yet.

Odds stacked against you...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for bringing me through another week God. You are amazing and how you bless me is incredible. The world tries to break me, almost every day but you block the blows. Thank you God for being my protector. Thank you for every guardian angel who has been assigned my duty. They deserve overtime benefits! Love you God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

No weapon formed against you will prosper. It is a promise I have over your life. 

I will see you victorious even in the situations where everything is stacked against you. Those are my favorite battles. When there is no way you can win, I get to step in and make you win anyway. That is fun. 

I love you sweet daughter. We will win again tomorrow.

Be present, be patient...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I am not sure what to pray about tonight. You are amazing and you have promised that you are taking care of everything, including me. My job is to wait and trust. 

It seems like I am doing an ok job of that right now. It is taking a lot more to get me rattled. That either means I am trusting more or I am just going numb. I think it is the first one, trusting more. But sometimes, I get it wrong and don't even realize it until much later. 

Maybe that should be my prayer tonight. Show me where I am getting it wrong and help me to get it right. Not just in trusting vs. getting numb, but really in everything. Is that even possible? Well, with you, all things are possible.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting gives you tie to think, to reflect and that is a good thing. Self reflection, working to improve yourself, these are all good. 

But the truth is, right now, I just need you to be present, be patient, and trust me. I will guide your steps. I will show you which paths to take. I will open doors and I will give you favor. 

I love you sweet daughter. Follow me.

Constant change...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your help and favor. I pray that you help me to keep my eyes fixed on you. I know that you have a plan, although I have no idea what it is. 

I bind the spirit of offense off of me. God, I know that pride is my enemy right now and I pray for your help to set it aside.

Thank you Father for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on the next season is not something to avoid or to dread. Truthfully, most of your life is waiting on the next season. You spend very little time in a place of stability. 

In this world in particular, change is constant and it is in the change that you should hang on to my peace. I am the God of all, including change. Recognize that change is constant and your anxiety over when the next season is coming will dramatically decrease. 

I love you. I have you in the palm of my hand. I will help you now and forever my child.
