The tell...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God for a really beautiful day. 

It started a little rough. I really thought I heard your direction and instruction and then everything changed, and I wasn't so sure any more. When it comes down to it, in this and in every decision, all I want is your will to be done. What ever that will is. I will follow your will, your decision, but I want to be sure of what that is. 

This could be a horrible mistake if I choose the wrong course. It could negatively effect so many people if I get this wrong. Please speak super clearly to me God. Please don't let me get it wrong.

What God Said Tonight:

I haven't stopped talking. I haven't left you. You know that I will never leave you or forsake you. 

The message you heard last night, started with a lie, didn't it? You recognized it as a lie and said so, but then went on to listen to the other things said. The lie was the "tell." The lie was the indicator of who was speaking to you. 

There is a King of lies. He imitates my voice at times but he will always have a tell, something that lets you know it isn't me. Pay close attention to the tell and when you see it, know that all that follows is a lie. 

I love you now and forever my child. We will live through eternity together.

A good day...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for today. Thank you for the opportunity to help out some people. That always makes the day better. I am content God. I love being content. Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

A good day is like gold that never goes down in value. Treasure each good day and bring them out on the days that are not so good. Bring them out and remind yourself that there are good days. 

It is so easy, when life is hard, to forget that or even start to think you will never have a good day again. I will tell you, that is not true. My children, will always have another good day, waiting. 

I am showering you with good days. Keep them precious and protected. 

Pride is your enemy...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for where you have planted me God. It is likely not forever but right now, it is a healing balm to my soul. You are so good to me, so kind, so gentle, and so caring. Thank you sweet Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A blessing or a curse is no reflection on who you are or what you have done. I bless you because I love you and you are my own child. I bless you from my love. A blessing is not something earned and is not a reflection of your great deeds. 

I have so much for you, because you are my child. Don't get caught up in thinking your accomplishments earn you my blessing. That is simply not true. Your accomplishments are reflections of my working in you life. They are reflections of me in you. 

If you get too convinced that you are earning your blessing, pride gets in the way and will ruin the whole thing. Pride is your enemy my child. Do not let it in.

Gifts...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for this life God. As I step into a new week, I love that I can do it with the confidence that your favor goes before me. No matter the circumstance, you always take care of me. You are amazing and I love you more than I can tell you.

What God Said Tonight:

Peace, joy, favor, these are my gifts for you. I don't bother with the gifts that will rot away, not with you my child. My gifts for you are those that cannot be stolen and cannot be removed. They come from my love and will never fail. I love you dear child.

Decision...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I have a choice I need to make and I have no idea what the right choice is. It is not a choice that can be decided by reason or even experience. It is a choice that I need your guidance 100%. I pray for your clear direction. I pray that you show me as clearly as possible the choice that is in your will. I will follow. Whatever that will, that decision is. I will follow. But I need you to make this one for me. 

What God Said Tonight:

Decisions are not as final as you think they are sometimes. I have given you grace and that grace extends to your decisions. You will see my hand and my blessing in all that you do. 

But, you have asked for my help and I will not withhold help from you when you ask. I will show you the path of love in this situation. It may not be the obvious path but it is the path that will be in aligned with my love. 

I love you my daughter and I will show you the way.

Trusting God with your tomorrows...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I don't know what to talk about with you tonight. I have a million thoughts running through my head but none of them worth talking about. Sounds like a night for listening instead of talking. I love you!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Waking up to a new day is a privilege and an honor but it is one that you have experienced so many times, you come to expect it. It is similar with my favor on my children. It is amazing and unusual the favor that I pour out on my children, but you, after living every day in it, often fail to see the amazing privilege. 

I am not blaming or judging you in this. It is simply a reality. 

I ask, knowing this reality, that you take some time each day to think about all of the amazing things I have brought into your life and all of the things I have protected you from. Not for my sake but for your  own. 

When you take time to recognize each day, what I am doing for you, it is much easier to trust me with your tomorrows. 

I love you my child and I will pour out favor on you all the days of your life.

God's success...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for your favor on my life today. 

You make me successful and I am very grateful. It isn't me but your favor on me makes everything work. I bask in your glory God. I celebrate your success. I pray that everyone know that it is you in me, and not my "abilities" that creates success in my life. 

You make me look good God. I pray that I make you look good.

What God Said Tonight:

The success of my children is my success. 

You know the feeling, when your child or the person you are mentoring has a success, achieves something wonderful, your joy in that moment is so often greater than any success you receive personally. The success of your child is evidence that what is in you had value and is reproducible, which makes it even more valuable. 

Every success you have is evidence of who I am. Let the world see it. Do not hide it under a bushel. Let your light shine my daughter and know that the glory, the joy, is mine. 

I love you now and forever.
