Community...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for a wonderful couple of days to disconnect from the stress. I enjoyed every minute. I pray for your help to take your peace and love into this next week, whatever it might bring.

What God Said Tonight:

It takes many to make the one and one is made of the many. A cell, on its own is not terribly impressive but put together thousands of cells and you have a human being. Put together thousands of human beings and you have a movement that can change the world. Put together several movements and who knows what can be accomplished. 

I made you for community not only because I love you, which I do. But I made you for community because there is power and greatness in the many that make the one. 

Come together and create more than you could on your own. Put me at the head and there is no telling what we can do. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Pockets of goodness...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today had more challenges and bad news than I could imagine and it just kept coming. But through it all, you were there, guiding directing, giving me peace and in the end, you worked it all out. 

That is what is so amazing about living this life with you God. No matter what happens, I can lean on you and you work it out. I can't wait to see what eternity with you in heaven is like but until then, living this life with you is pretty wonderful.

Thank you God.

What God Said Tonight:

It is rarely the case where there is no good to find. Even in some of the worst circumstances, when you look, there are small nuggets of goodness to be found. That was not true today but you created them anyway. 

Your focus on loving those around you and lifting them up created pockets of joy for you and those around. It is what I have taught you and you did it well today. 

Continue to be my reflection of joy, of love. Continue to create those pockets of goodness for the world. It is needed and it is a reflection of me that stays with people. 

I love you sweet daughter. 

Shaken...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Holy Spirit, my helper. Today was difficult and I did not handle it very well. I realize, just now that I did not ask for your help today, no wonder it was rough. How is it, after all of this time, I can still forget to ask for your help?

I pray for your help tonight God. I pray for your help tomorrow. I pray for your help, now and forever. There is nothing I can do that is worthwhile without you. 

What God Said Tonight:

Your house is built upon the rock but sometimes, those rocks are smaller and can shift. Some of your rocks are built from your experiences and in the right circumstance they shift and where you thought you were stable, you now are a little shaken. 

It is nothing to worry about. It is just a resettling of the rocks into a more stable base. These small earthquakes that move things around a little may be frightening at the time, but in the end, everything is more firmly fitted together so the next time the shaking comes, you will not be moved. 

I love you and I am here for you, in both the shaking and the stability. 

Blast...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for the reminder today that even when I go through the hard times, it is a time to celebrate because it is one more opportunity for you to shine and show off your glory. I pray God that your glory be seen this week. I pray for help to keep that thought in the forefront of my mind, no matter what I face.

What God Said Tonight:

A light and a fire is coming. Not a fire that brings destruction but a fire that brings light to the situation and pushes out everything that is getting in the way. I have a blast coming in your life that will clear out the debris and leave you in a clean and light path for the future. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Rest in God...

 

My prayer:

Abba, the only good thing about this day is that it is over. Ok, that is a bit dramatic. Thank you for bringing me through all of the mess and challenges today. Thank you for your continued teaching me about relying on others. Thank you for your continued favor in the midst of the mess that is life right now. 

I love you and I am ready to spend some time in your arms tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Rest, here now, with me, just rest. Breathe in, breathe out. I have got you. 

I won't let you go, now or ever. I won't let you face any challenge alone and I will never let you be defeated. I am with you now and forever and it is time for you to rest in me. 

I will take care of this latest thing.

Seat of blessing...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Jesus. Thank you for being so amazing and always being there for me. Today was rough but I knew you were with me through it all and really, that is all I need to know. 

I pray your will is done. I pray for your help. I am yours.

What God Said Tonight:

The life you are living right now is not exactly what you think . There is much going on behind the scenes, so to speak. There is much going on in the spirit realm. There is much going on that is preparing a future for you that I have spent many years designing. 

I love you and I have amazing things for you. Do not get discouraged with the small steps of today. Even when those steps seem to be taking you backwards. 

I promise to you, there is a plan in motion and every experience of today, will be turned for your good in the long run. I have great blessings in store for you, more than you can imagine. 

I have done this because of how I love you. I have done this because of who I am. I don't need you to do or accomplish anything right now. It is in my hands and I will take you where you need to go to sit in my seat of blessing for you.

Home...

 

My prayer:

Sweet savior, awesome Father. Thank you for the rest and restoration of these last couple of days. I pray for your help going back into the week ahead. Guide me, direct me, and help me to be the reflection of you and your love that you intend me to be. I am yours, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

There are houses built every day. Big houses, small houses. Houses with walls and houses in canvas. The house is not important but the home is everything. A place where the family lives life together, loves, builds, and shares. That is what gives life its meaning and its joy. I live in homes. I don't waste time with houses. 

It comes back to the heart and the truth that is always present. Everything with meaning is based in love. The core and root of everything that matters is love. Do not ever lose sight of that truth. 

When you are stressed, love. When you are sad, love. When you are afraid, love. When you are filled with joy...well then you are already loving. 

You are my child and my love, now and forever.
