Focus...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I am enjoying this new season of increased work. I hope it doesn't last forever but it is good to feel needed again. 

I pray for your continued help, favor, and strength.

What God Said Tonight:

In everlasting life with me, no season is forever but you will forever be going through seasons. 

I have you here now for a purpose and for my plan. It will be for a while, but not forever. When you are weak I will strengthen you. When you are tired, I will give you rest. When you need new ideas, I will give them to you and when you don't know how you will get it all done, I will get it done with you. 

In this season, remember the lessons from years ago about trusting me and doing the one thing that is in front of you right now. I will take care of tomorrow. I will take care of the next step. You focus on what is right in front of you. I will guide the path. I will get it done. 

Walking with God...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for another wonderful day. I am really going to need your help this week. When I look at all that needs to happen, it really doesn't seem possible. But, how many times has that been true and you have worked it all out? More than I can count. 

So tonight, I refuse to worry about it and instead, I place it in your hands and ask for your help to work it all out. Nothing is too much for you God. Thank you for making the impossible possible for me every day.

What God Said Tonight:

Your life, your destiny, your path are in my hands, because you have asked me. Your simple act of asking is all it takes for me to step in and guide your life. It seems like it should be harder, that there should be more, nut there really isn't. 

Your salvation is free and comes through your claiming that gift. Your life, the direction and steps of your life, can be your own or you can turn them over to me. Your life is yours to decide to do with as you wish. 

I have given you life. I want to give you life more abundantly and that becomes possible when you let me, ask me to guide your steps. Walking out life with me is not hard. It only takes the desire and trust to ask me in and then let me work. 

All is well...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. I pray your protection over me, my home, my family, and my friends. I pray for your warrior angels to surround us. I pray that you keep all harm from finding us. Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

Shut it down. I am shutting it down right now. 

Fear has no right to be in the minds and spirits of my children. You live in the protected sphere of my Kingdom and I will not let anything harm you, including fear. I will chase it out and stand guard against its return. 

I love you my child and your safety, your peace, your well being, are my top priorities. All is well.

Lean back on God...

 

My prayer:

Half way through God. Thank you for bringing me half way through. I am exhausted tonight but I need to hear your voice. I need to wrap myself up in your love so I can rest and revive for tomorrow. I love you so much!

What God Said Tonight:

I have your space all warn and ready here. 

You feel like you are done tonight but you have so much more in reserve. You have me in reserve. 

Don't worry about tomorrow and how you will cope. Tomorrow will take care of itself. I am with you every step of the way and I will see you through. When you are at the end of your strength, lean back and rest on mine. It will never fail you. 

Good night my love. You will rise for a new day tomorrow.

Expectations...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I pray and ask for your help in this latest challenge. The funny thing is, I am so confident that you will help me through it, you have shown me over and over how you will bring me through anything, that I almost don't have to ask. I know, to the bottom of my soul, that you will help me through and that you will work it all out for my good.

That being said, I never want to get complacent. I never want to get entitled, thinking that I have somehow the right to expect your help. It is only because of Jesus that I even get to talk to you, let alone the blessings and favor you pour out on me.

So, I am here tonight asking for your help, with the full confidence that you will work it all out for my good. I guess that is the faith part. Waiting and believing with expectation.

What God Said Tonight:

Knowing that your arm will move when you want it to move doesn't mean you are complacent. Especially if you remember, once in a while to be thankful for how easily you can move your arm. 

It is the same with me. I don't need you to be amazed every time I bless you, every time I work things out for your good. You should expect that. It is a promise I made to you. If you didn't expect it, you would be saying I was a liar and I did not do what I promise to do. However, you are correct that the blessings in my Kingdom for my children can create an entitlement that can cause issues. 

Keep and protect your humble heart. It is your greatest defense against the haughty spirit. Keep your grateful heart. It is the greatest defense against hopelessness and depression. Keep your heart soft for it is the greatest defense against bitterness. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

Looking back...

 

My prayer:

Today was a bit of a flashback to what my life use to be and it made me more grateful than ever for what you have changed my life into. Thank you for the peace and sanctuary that you have created in my life. It is better than I ever could have imagined God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Looking back is not a problem as long as you don't stay there. Looking back is always meant to be a brief glance to recognize what is behind you. It is not meant to be a focal point. 

Keep your eyes forward and you will move forward. Keep your eyes looking back and you will crash. 

I love you sweet daughter. Look ahead to all the joy we have before us.

True peace...

 

My prayer:

You brought me through the fire today God, thank you. 

It is amazing to me how the day can start out with complete chaos and turmoil, then you come in and everything becomes calm. Sometimes you tell me what to say but so often, you just resolve it from the core and what seemed like a life changing conflict, becomes a distant memory.

Thank you for being the calm in any storm and for leading my words and my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Not all conflict is bad and not all peace is good. 

Peace, the peace that I bring is based on a core truth that i am in charge and will work all things for your good. That is a peace that will last. That is a peace that is true. 

Beware of the peace that comes from compromise. Beware of the peace that comes from withdrawal. That is not true peace and that peace will one day erupt into a greater confrontation than you could ever imagine. 

Don't be in such a hurry to find peace that you bury the cause of the conflict. Sometimes, letting the conflict play itself through, trusting me with the outcome, is the best path to healing, wholeness, and lasting peace. 

I will guide you in this and in all things. I am your Lord and I am with you and for you, forever.
