Choose your day...

 

My prayer:

These last two days could not have been more different from each other. Yesterday, filled with stress and tension. The whole day was such a struggle. Today, the circumstances were the same but I was filled with your peace all day and it was really beautiful. 

Thank you for reminding me to lean on you. Thank you for reminding me to keep my thoughts on you. It makes all the difference. You make all the difference.

What God Said Tonight:

I am the same today, tomorrow, and yesterday. The difference is in you. The great news is, because the difference is in you, you have the ability to choose what kind of day you will have. 

You can choose to focus on the circumstances and stress and have a day like yesterday or you can choose to focus on me and have a day like today. It really is within your power.

I am here. I am always helping you. I am always protecting you. Your experience of this life is primarily up to you and your choices. Choose me and you will never be sorry.

One more step...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I really tried to change my focus today when I knew things were going down a wrong road, but I did not do a very good job of it. I am going to need your help with this newest, or maybe it is my oldest, challenge. It is clear I can't do it on my own. I pray for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

Sweet daughter, I never ask you to do it on your own. I am your ever present help. 

I have brought this to your attention not to bring you shame but to bring you healing. I have brought it to the forefront so we can heal and resolve it, once and for all. 

I have come into your life to provide you with many things, including freedom from everything that is holding you back. Everything that is getting in the way of the joy and wholeness that I intended for your life. 

This is one more step in that journey. You do not need to take it alone. Lean on me, call out to me, just say my name in the moment of crisis and I will be there. I will help. I will guide you. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Foundational stones...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for this moment. Not worrying about tomorrow or yesterday, but just, thank you for this moment. It is a good one. Your peace is here. Your joy is here. You are here. What more could I want or need. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Every mountain you climb and every valley you walk through, I am with you. I have more plans for you. I have great adventures and great blessings for you. But in it all, these moments, these quiet moments together are what will be remembered. 

These are the foundational stones that make the rest of this amazing life possible. 

I love you now and forever my child. Your foundation in me is strong and will not be broken. 

This season of being, not doing, not striving, not achieving but just being, may be the easiest and the hardest season of all. Your number one job in this season is to love and be loved. That is all.

Not perfect...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Jesus, thank you for another wonderful day. Here at the end of it, I am exhausted and craving rest but hearing your voice is more important. I choose you God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Each day, one step closer to your destiny and the plans I have for you. 

You are not yet perfect but you are perfect in me. I will cover your imperfections and I will even use them to bless you and those around you. 

In your weakness, I am made strong and in your imperfection, I am shown to be perfect. 

Love, in this moment...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Jesus, I need your grace, mercy, healing and wholeness in me. I need the cleansing power of your blood and your sacrifice. I need your love.

What God Said Tonight:

My love is here for you and has never left you. All that I have and all that I am is my gift to you, now and forever.

You are within my love and my love is within you. It is moments like this where you can remember all of those promises and become aware of the gifts that are already yours. 

Know that my love for you is greater than any love you can imagine and in knowing it, take a minute to feel it. I am with you and I am always on your side. My love for you never dies. Live here in this moment, in this love and realize there is nothing that can take it way. 

Sometimes you are more aware of it ans sometimes less, but the love, that does not change. 

More joy...

 

My prayer: 

Awesome Father, savior, friend, than you for a perfect day. Every moment of today was a blessing, including this one. I can't wait to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you sweet daughter and you are welcome. Blessing you blesses me. Rest and get ready for more joy.

More tragedy...

 

My prayer:

I don't have words tonight God. More terror in the world today. I just don't have words. I pray that the cry of my heart be heard in heaven. I pray Holy Spirit that you pray the words that I don't have.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you. I am with them. I have not left you or this world. 

I will promise you that one day, this will make more sense and one day, you will see that it was worth the wait. 

Know that I am with those who are now with me in heaven and I am with those who are left here on earth. Know that I never left any one of them and I am no more than a word away. The tragedy of today can be tomorrow's tragedy as well, or it can be a launching pad for the next season and for my glory and healing to be present.

I do not bring the tragedy but I will make sure it has a purpose in this world. I will make sure to turn it for your good in the end. 

No one can steal your destiny. No one can steal those you love, not in the end. Those who have left, are safe here with me. When you come, you will see their joy and know that they have not suffered. 

I am yours and you are mine sweet child. Send me the broken and I will heal them. Send me the mourning and I will comfort them. I am your God and your salvation. Now and forever my child, now and forever.
