Obstacles...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thank you for your favor and guidance today. There were some tough moments but I leaned into you and you walked me through each one of them. I don't know the details of what tomorrow has for me but I know one thing, you will be there in it with me and that is all I need.

What God Said Tonight:

Red, green, yellow, blue, the color of a things does not really matter it is the substance of the thing that matters. 

You may see barriers in your work, in your personal life, even in your spiritual life. The details of the barrier does not matter. The only thing that matters is that you will overcome that barrier with me, through me, and as a result of your relationship wit me. 

I am called the great overcomer. I can overcome any obstacle for your sake. No mountain is high enough to block my blessing you. A barrier and a challenge is truly no more than an opportunity for me to show you I am God, in every situation. 

I love you now and forever my child. Go rest and let me take care of the obstacles tomorrow.

Nature and purpose...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. What a blessing these last few days have been. Thank you for this time of rest and peace. I pray for your help as I jump back into the fray tomorrow. I pray for your favor, your wisdom, and your guidance. Above everything else, I pray that your will is done. 

What God Said Tonight:

The nature of me, of you, is  not hidden. It is written in every word, every action, and every interaction that we have. Your nature is not something that can be hidden. It is not something that should be hidden. Whether your nature takes you success or failure, letting it be known, or more rightly said, recognizing that it is known, to everyone around you, only makes it easier for me to help you with it. 

I created all of my children for a purpose. That purpose does not require perfection. It does not require that every part of your nature be made perfect. That will happen through the salvation of my son, but it is not required for your purpose to be carried out. 

You are more known than you realized and you are more loved than you realize. Starting of course with me. Keeping forging ahead, putting one foot in front of another, and we will make the destination together.

Blessings and cursings...

 

My prayer:

A wonderful day full of blessings and work. Thank you God. I know I say it a lot. I wish I had better words, better ways to tell you how much I appreciate all that you do for me. How much I appreciate this life that you have given me. Everything I can say and do, seems like not enough. 

I pray that you hear my heart and know how much it all means to me and how much I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

A danger is not dangerous if you are not there when it is. A blessing is not a blessing if you are not in position to receive it. There are things in this world that only receive their meaning when they are received. They only fulfill their purpose when they are received. 

Blessings and cursings are some of those things. Receive the blessings. Reject the cursings. Position yourself in a place where blessings are abundant and avoid the places where cursings run rampant. 

These are not my commands but rather advice that will make you living easier. I love you my child, now and forever and I want the very best of blessings in your life.

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for your favor and guidance today. I am content and trusting you. I would love to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

It is a celebration in the making. It is a carnival that is yet to open. I love you and I have such great things for you. Very soon, when the timing is right, and it can be celebrated in full. Without reservation. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

Pauses between the steps...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I think I might be a little strange. For me, it is so much easier to trust you in times of change than it is when nothing seems to be changing. Movement, change, seems like a path, a journey and since I know you order my steps, I am confident that you are in control...most of the time. In times where nothing seems to change, that is when my trust can waiver.

Thank you for this season of change. Thank you for all that you are doing. I pray for help to trust, whether the change comes or not, that you are still in control and your plans for me are good.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not change or lack of change that is reflective of me moving. I can effect change through action and inaction. I can even keep you where you are through action and inaction. 

When you trust in the change you can see, you are trusting in circumstances, not truly in me. When you trust regardless of what you see, that is when you are truly trusting in my, in my sovereignty in your life. That is when the true peace comes and you can enjoy each step of the journey, even the pauses in between steps. 

I love you now and forever my child.

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.
