Each small step...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a good day God. Just a good solid day with nearly no drama. I pray that your peace and your will continue to rule in my life. I trust you and I love you now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Breathe in....breathe out, put one foot in front of the other. Do not worry about tomorrow or what comes after your next step. I have the future taken care of. Just take each step, slowly and with purpose, in the direction that I have guided you to and in time, you will look back and be able to see that the whole journey was planned, important, and has taken you to an entirely new level of glory and joy. 

I love you and you are on this journey for a purpose. You think you are moving too slowly, that each step is too little. But I promise each small step is building to a journey that will scale the highest mountain. One step at a time. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Challenges...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father, sweet Jesus, amazing Holy Spirit. Thank you for the healing and rest you have provided over the last couple of days. I am so grateful. 

I pray for your continued guidance and molding. Help me to be the person you created me to be. Help me to be a blessing to all those you have put in my life. Help me to be everything you want me to be and nothing that you do not want me to be.

I am yours.

What God Said Tonight:

The challenges you meet in life may be placed there with an intention to stop you but I will always turn them for your good. I will always use them to strengthen you, not break you. I will use those things, those attacks against you to make you stronger, more loving, more the person you were intended to be. 

I promise you, no challenge, no attack, not even a blessing will come into your life that I don't already have a plan for your good. 

I love you. 

Leave worry at His feet...

 

My prayer:

I am super grateful to be at the end of this week God. It was a tough one but you brought me through it and made me look great in the process. Thank you for being so amazing to me. 

When I look around the world tonight, there is a lot of struggle, pain, and crisis. I pray that you shelter your people, your children. I pray for safety, provision, peace, and joy. I pray that you keep each of us close to you and under your protection until the day we leave this world and join you, face to face. 

I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Come, sit with me awhile. The world can rest for just this moment while we sit together. I have plans and they will manifest tomorrow. I have joy, and it is yours. I have peace, it is at your core. 

I love you and I would really love to sit with you awhile. Trust me to work it out and rest your head on my shoulder for awhile... 

Ah, that is good. Breathe in and out nice and slowly. Leave every worry at my my feet. Don't pick them back up, I have got them now. Rest your head, your mind, your heart, your soul. Let every part of you recover and restore. 

I love you now and forever, my child.

Blessing...

 

My prayer:

You are so amazing God. The thing I was so worried about, the thing that I simply messed up and there was no way out of it, you have turned it completely around. You have made the impossible, possible yet again. It is beyond belief how good you are to us. 

Thank you so much for everything that you do for me God. Everything you do for us. I love being your kid.

What God Said Tonight:

I bless you because you are my child, because I love you, because I am blessed through blessing you. My blessings are a natural result of our relationship. 

I will see you succeed in all things I have put in your path. I love you my child. Rest well.

Ever present help...

My prayer:

Awesome God. As usual, I need your help. I need your healing. I need your favor. I need you to bring me out of something that is completely my fault. 

You always say, if we need help, just ask. I am asking. Not because I deserve anything but because I know you can take care of it all and you love me like crazy. 

Thank you God for your help. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help in times of trouble. I am your help, even when you don't know that you need help. 

The great part of this moment is you actually know that you need the help and you have turned to me. That makes everything easier. 

I love you child and I will take care of you and every situation that comes your way. I will guide your steps. And I will always love you.

A greater purpose...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for your favor. Thank you for giving me the strength to persevere in every situation that is thrown my way. I could do none of it without you but with you, literally anything is possible. I love you and I love living life with you.

What God Said Tonight:

I give you the experiences that I do for a reason, a purpose. There is nothing in your life that doesn't serve a bigger purpose than it has at face value. A greater truth is behind every moment. 

You will one day, see and be able to make more sense out of the series of events in your life. For now, know and trust that I am working for the greater purposes and I am always working for your good. 

I love you now and forever my child. You do not need to ever wonder or doubt that.

A little light...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the constant waves of terrible news tonight. Most often, I can find the peace and joy that you have for me and the weight of the world does not crush me. But once in a while, like tonight, it is all too much. I find myself having to avoid it, block it out, because it is too much if I let it in. 

Thousands of people, probably hundreds of thousands, being killed. Millions losing homes and family. Millions more afraid for their lives. Children, mothers, fathers, women, men...so many lives devastated. If I let it in, it is a dark weight that threatens to crush my heart. 

I pray God that you save your people. I pray that you save us from ourselves. I pray your will is done, on earth as it is in heaven. Anything that is happening that is not in your will, I pray that you bring an immediate stop to it. Everything that is in your will, please continue to move it forward, in your will and your time, and help me to find peace with it.

What God Said Tonight:

A little oil in a large barrel of water can ruin the water. I little darkness can ruin the light. But the same is true and more so when it is seen from the other direction. No amount of darkness can stand up to even the smallest light. 

The balance of pain and devastation seeped into your soul tonight and it is making you sick. I ask that you remind that darkness that you are light. You are the reflection of my light and where we are, no darkness can stand. It must flee. It is the core truth. Darkness cannot win against light. 

I will show you the flames, the small lights, throughout the dark situations. I will show you how even in this, my glory is being seen. I will and it is done. My heart is open to your prayer and your light will be one that beats back the dark, in every corner of the world.
