Pruning...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for a wonderful day. I don't think life gets much better than this. Maybe it does but I can't imagine what that looks like. Thank you for blessing me with blessings I can't even imagine. Living life with you is AMAZING!

What God Said Tonight:

You did some pruning today. You know the value of pruning. Sometimes there are branches that are sucking the life out of a tree and need to be removed. Sometimes there are branches that have died and need to be removed. Sometimes the branches are just in the wrong place and need to be removed. 

The same is true for your life. When I remove things, people, circumstances, know that it is always for your good. Know that without them you will grow more and grow in the direction I have for you. 

Never worry about what you have lost, I promise it is always for greater gain. I love you my sweet child. Rest in the complete peace that I am always working for your good.

Glory...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I am trusting in your timing and your will. 

Sometimes, like now, when I can see you weaving together a plan for my life, I just have to sit back in awe and wonder. I love to watch you work things out. I love to watch you work. It is a beautiful thing. You take all these seemingly unrelated things and weave them together for my good. It is a truly amazing process to watch and be a part of. 

The testimonies you have given me over the years could write a million books. Can't wait to see how this next chapter comes out!

What God Said Tonight:

Your in awe of my glory which is right and good. 

I show my glory in pieces, in rays. My full glory would overwhelm. It would overpower you. But, as with Moses, I can show you parts of my glory. I can let my glory shine in your life. You are the mirror of that glory on the earth. 

I love you my child and I only want the very best for you. I am always working for you. 

No guilt, no conditions, no buts...

 

My prayer:

Today certainly had a lot of surprises God. Some good, most not so good. I am still trusting you though. I am still trusting your timing and your will to be accomplished in my life. There is great peace in knowing you are in charge of my life. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

Blood has been shed and has left the stain to be remembered. The sacrifice was real and required. 

Now that the blood has been spilled and paid for, please do not ever go back and try to pay for it on your own. I have provided forgiveness that obliterates the need for guilt. I have provided a way to eternal life that costs you no more than a decision. Receive that in its entirety. NO conditions, no buts, just a gift freely given from a Father to his children. 

Receive and trust in me. I love you now and forever.

Living life well...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God. Not just for all you have done but for all that you are. I am blessed because you are Lord of my life. I am even more blessed because of who you are. I get to live this life and eternity with an all powerful, all loving, God who wants and provides the very best for me. It simply does not get any better than that. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

There is no life that is not worth being lived well. I have plans for each of my children but they have to agree. They have you to agree to my will in their life. It is actually just that easy. Agree to my will and trust me to carry it out. 

It definitely sounds easy. But, I have lived on earth with you and I know it is not as easy as it sounds. I know there are many roadblocks and enemies that try to stand in the way of you getting to live the life I want for you. 

Please fight through the roadblocks. The life I have for you is so very worth it. I love you now and forever my child.

Frame and foundation...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I really have nothing to pray tonight. I am settled that you will provide for every need and that your will is going to be completed in my life. I am convinced that your will is better than any ideas or thoughts that I have for myself. 

So all that is left is to hear your voice. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Building a home is about much more than the decorations. It is the foundation, the frame, the bones of the home that make it last, that give it its true worth. You can easily change the cosmetics of a home but it is harder to change the frame and foundation. 

I have built in you a frame and foundation meant to last for eternity. We will change the decoration many more times. You will find your self in different environments and different opportunities. But the frame, the base, the foundation of who you are is established and will last.

I love you.

God's Kingdom...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father, thank you for another truly wonderful day. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I am completely confident that you will work it all out. 

I pray that your will is done, not only in my life but throughout the world. There are so many needs, so many people suffering tonight. There is not much I can do but you can make all the difference.

What God Said Tonight:

Let the heavens and earth sign praises for the glory of my Kingdom is so near. 

A thorn...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for such a wonderful day. Such peace and joy. 

It was only interrupted by the one thing that keeps hanging on year after year. I have prayed so many times. I have done all I know to do and I have stood. But it still comes back. Maybe this is my thorn. Maybe there is a reason for it. I don't know but I know I can't live with it without your help. 

Guide me, direct me, heal me sweet Lord. In the name of Yeshua I ask.

What God Said Tonight:

A thorn is meant to be removed. In most cases, the body itself will expel it. It is not meant to last forever. 

I know this thorn has been with you longer than you want. I know it is not what you would wish. It is for a purpose. It is something that you will have a great testimony to tell one day. 

I am here in the meantime. I will bring you through. I will hold you up. I love you and this is not meant to destroy you.
