Look within...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for today. Thank you for your help, your healing, and your restoration. I pray as we head into this week that you guide my steps, guard my tongue, and help me to be the person you intended me to be. 

What God Said Tonight:

You do not have to try to be someone you are not. To be my child, you only have to be who you are. To find the best you, the you I intended for you, you only have to look deep within you. 

You do not need to look at the world around you. You do not need to look for role models to emulate. You only have to look deep within you. Beyond the hurts and pain this world has caused for you, look to the child who looked up at me and said, 'Yeah, having Jesus in my heart sounds pretty cool. Let's do it.' That is who you are looking to reconnect with. 

But let me say, the experiences of your life are not wasted. They are not things that should be ignored. They are things that you can heal from with my help. And, when you have healed, the strength you gain and the strength you can share is nearly worth the pain the got you there. 

I love you sweet child. This is a time for looking in and letting me heal the path. I love you, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

 

My prayer:

Another week where you showed you were bigger and better than any challenge thrown my way God. With you on my side, the deck is always stacked in my favor. Thank you. 

What God Said Tonight:

Quiet your mind, your soul, your spirit. This week is done and it is time to enter into the place of rest and restoration. Let my peace soothe you. Let my power strengthen you. Let my joy fill you. 

I have much planned for you and every minute of it is necessary. Every minute of it will restore you to more than you were before. I am with you and I love you, now and forever my child. 

Rest in my arms and do not let any worry invade your mind. Let the barriers of our sacred time keep those thoughts and worries from seeping in. Call out my name and let me fight your battle. 

I love you, now and forever. 

Blessings on the path...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thank you for favor all day. Your blessings and favor make this life a LOT easier. Life still throws it challenges at me but you always work them out and I am so grateful. 

I pray that your will is done in my life. There is nothing better or greater that I could hope for than your will. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

The path for my children is not always easy but it is always laid out in plain site and it always leads to a place of great blessing. 

I understand that it can be frightening. Sometimes I ask you to step where you cannot see the ground beneath you but I will always bless you and see you through. 

My path for you is not the only path. You have free will and can choose any path that you want. But my path will bring you the most joy, the greatest blessings, and the most fulfillment of every path you can consider. 

I love you my child. Stay on my path for you and you will not be sorry.

Loving others...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Everywhere I turn you are speaking on message to me. Love others.  I hear you. I will do all that I can. Help me to do better.

What God Said Tonight:

Loving others does not always come easily but it is in our nature. It is in your heart and soul as I am in your heart and soul. 

Loving others only requires that you look within you and find the love I have for you. You know that love is not earned and is more than you could feel you "deserve." That is the love you give to others. More than what they think they deserve. 

Love is not about deserving. Love is about healing, encouraging, and making people whole. Love is the thing that makes every past hurt and scar heal. Love well my child, as you are loved.

The path to love...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Thank for a week that was hard but rewarding. Thank you for making a way through every challenge. Thank you for showing me light at the end of the tunnel. I pray that you help me to use this time to help others in the future, or even right now. 

I love you. I trust you. I am all yours.

What God Said Tonight:

You found the path to love. In the middle of every challenge, you found the path of love. That is all I need you to do. It is in that love that every other blessing is born. For you and for those around you. 

I love you. That love is the base, the core of all other love in you and from you. Keep that coal, that core present and in front of your eyes and you will have all you need for any challenge.  

I love you now and forever.

Imagine...

 

My prayer:

Sweet and awesome Father. Thank you for all that you are teaching me. Thank you for reminding me to love first. That simple instruction has brought me through so many challenges this week. 

You are amazing and I am ridiculously grateful for you.

What God Said Tonight:

Do you ever wonder what life will be like when everything is made whole? I know that you do, sometimes, but that thinking needs to be a part of your everyday imagining. 

The time is not far off and I want those thoughts, those imaginings to help sustain you in the less than perfect times where brokenness seems to rule. I want you to remember that your destiny is to live a life of wholeness in a world that is whole. 

The truth of that time and that existence is truly beyond your imaginings, but start to imagine it anyway. You can think of it as a game. But start thinking, regularly, about how amazing that life will be. I will join you and help you with it. It can be our time. 

I love you.

Meaning of life...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father, I know I say this a lot but I am going to need your help tomorrow. I am going to need your help tonight. God, I am so grateful for the healing you are doing in me. I am grateful at how you are teaching me about listening to you and what you think of me more than the people around me. 

It is a hard lesson for me. 

I need your help to maintain the peace you have given me today. I need your help to live in a place of assurance of who I am in you. Thank you God for your help. 

What God Said Tonight:

Your life. Your time on this earth, is really about two things. Learning how to love me with all that you have got and learning how to love others. That is it. 

There are a million ways to do it. That's where the fun and creativity comes in. But that is it. 

If everything you are doing is pursuing one or both of those goals, you are in the right frame of mind. Focus on that, tonight, tomorrow. That is where you need to keep your thoughts. 

I love you my child. Live in that love.
