The good news...

 

My prayer:

I love all you are teaching me right now God. I wish I was a better student. I wish I didn't need you to show me over and over a better way to live. But it is like Paul said, I find myself doing the very thing I hate. 

I pray for your continued healing and help to shape me into the person you would have me to be.

What God Said Tonight:

The ravages of sin truly take their toll my child. Your sin, yes, and the sins of those around you. They create deep wounds that take time and treatment to heal. 

The good news is I bring not only forgiveness of those sins but also healing from the wounds. I am your complete package and I will provide you with all that you need. 

Each day is a step and each day there is more to learn. I will guide you through. 

Victory...

 

My prayer:

You bless me like crazy God and you always come through for me. THANK YOU for this most recent example of that. I can never thank you enough. You are a continual blessing in my life and I love you more than I can ever say.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you my child. It is never any more or less than that. I love you now and forever and I will never let you down. Your trust in me will never be wasted or proven wrong. 

It is true, I have told you, I have taught you about the dangers of saying never and for you, that is true. But I know the beginning and the end and I can say with confidence, I will never let you down. 

We will celebrate this victory together and we will rejoice for many years to come. 

Child of my heart...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God, sweet Jesus, saviour. It is the night before we celebrate your resurrection. The night before the whole world changed. The night before you defeated death for our sake. There is no way to adequately recognize the significance of what you did for us. I remain in awe of your love for us and your sacrifice. I remain in awe of you.

What God Said Tonight:

A representation, a celebration, is never meant to equal the original event. A birthday is a celebration of your birth but never equals the joy experienced on the day of your birth. 

There is no pressure and no expectation of this celebration. It is enough that we spend the day together. It is enough that we remember together the culmination of our love. 

You are the child of my heart and I love you more than I loved life. 

No surprise...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for covering me today God. There were many times today that things could have easily gone a different direction and ended very badly but in each case, you covered me, you bailed me out, you turned things around for my good. You are amazing, thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

Never be surprised by my grace in your life. It is there for you always. I have covered you in the blanket of my salvation and that covers all matter of sin. 

I know your heart. I know your intentions. I am forever on your side. 

A team of one does not get very far but a team of two, or three can achieve anything. I love you.

Break down the walls...

 

My prayer:

Mighty and awesome God. The privilege you give us to come to you, just as we are, covered in the blood of Christ is pretty unbelievable. I have known you most of my life and I can take it for granted sometimes. You are always with me and that makes it easy to forget what a privilege that is.

For some reason, tonight, it is clear to me, it is new again and I am so grateful. Thank you Jesus, Father, Holy Spirit. There is no gift like you presence. Thank you for letting me be here with you.

What God Said Tonight:

A lot of things happen and they build upon each other until you suddenly have a wall, when all you started out with were a couple of bricks. 

I am here to break down those walls. I will break them to pieces because they are keeping you from all that I have for you. They were built over many years but I will bust them apart, into dust, in one moment. It will be as though they were never there. 

I have a life of freedom planned for you and there is no place for walls in that life. I love you my child. Be free in me.

God will wait...

 

My prayer:

I really do my best to follow your lead God. I know I get it wrong sometimes but I promise, I am trying. 

I pray that you heal my heart, make me whole, so I don't hurt others out of my own hurt. You have healed so much in me God, and I am so grateful for your healing. But, I know there is more. I know it when I overact and get angry. I know it when I feel bitterness well up in me. I know it every time I fail to put you first. If I was healed and whole, those things would not be an issue.

I love you Father. I love you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A week, a day, a month or a year, these timeframes are not important. I am the God of eternity and I will wait forever for you. 

I will wait as long as I need to to give you the time and space to find your healing and your wholeness. It is before you but you may need time to receive it all. 

I am yours and you are mine and there is no space ebtween us. This is already done.  

Turning it around...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for bringing me through today. You always give me enough. Enough energy, strength, wisdom, strategy, and faith to get through what I need to get through. Today was not a day where I had an abundance of those things, but I had enough and that was all I needed. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A cursing that was meant for you, a cursing that targeted you, is being turned into a blessing. Its intention was to take you out but I am turning it around and will see it bless you. 

No weapon formed against you can prosper. You know that. Now, the rest of the world will know. You can't curse my kids. The children of God will always be blessed. 

I love you now and forever my child. It is nearly finished.
