A night off...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Lord. I am sure I have plenty to talk about but my mind is blank tonight. Maybe tonight I should really just focus on listening and hearing what you have to say. 

What God Said Tonight:

I love you daughter. Not every moment needs to be profound. Not every word needs a purpose. 

Rest tonight and enjoy a moment of no pressure, no needs, no problems to solve. Let me take on the world and the worries and you take a night off. 

I love you and I never intended for you to carry the load you do. You need to off load to me much more than you do. I love you and let me carry the load.

Did you love today...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a beautiful day God. There are times when I am in the amazing nature that you have created and I just have to look around with my mouth hanging open. There are no words I know of that can accurately describe what you have created. 

I know we have messed it up and I can't wait for the day when you bring the new heaven and the new earth. But until then, I will continue to fully enjoy the rich beauty of the nature we have left.

What God Said Tonight:

Did you love today? Did you give out love? Did you receive love? If so, that is what I consider a good day. 

I watch for the love in your life. I watch for every time you show love and every time you receive love. It is what I most care about. 

Your soul is saved. That is already set in the book of life. Now, I want you to have as much love and you can hold in your life. That is what will make the difference for you and everyone around you. 

Lean on God...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Lord. Today was rough and it wasn't until tonight that I realized, I didn't really ask for your help. No wonder it was so hard! I can think of one moment where I asked for help with a specific situation, but that was it. 

How is it that I can forget? How can I forget to ask for your help? I know from many years of experience that you always help when I ask. I know you turn impossible situations into perfectly solved answers. I know this, but when it was hard today, I just wallowed in my anger and irritation instead of asking for your help.

Forgive me God. You have taught me so well and I simply got it all wrong today. I pray and ask for your help to do better tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

A day of struggle may not have been enjoyable but it reminded you of what life, your life, can be if you are not completely dependent on me. 

I tell you this not because I don't trust you and not because you do not have free will. I tell you this because you do have free will. You are free to choose any course at any time. 

I fervently hope you choose my path for you. I fervently hope you choose to lean on me. Not for my sake but for yours. 

I can best love you when you are leaning on me. I can best help you when you are leaning on me. And, I can best bless you when you are leaning on me. 

Come on over and lean on me tonight.

Peace and calm...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for this blessed life you have given me. It is not always easy but it is always blessed. I loved today. Beautiful weather, the space to relax and turn off my brain for a little while. I needed that. 

Living life with you is pretty amazing. The way you take care of everything and work it all out, someone who doesn't know you wouldn't believe it. Thank you for choosing me and saving me. Life would be pretty miserable without you.

What God Said Tonight:

Calm waters, calm seas, this is a time of peace and of calm in your life. It won't last forever, it may not even last to tomorrow, but while it is here, take the time to relax into it. Take the time to really let that peace and that calm soak into your very being. 

There will be times in the future where you will need that bank of calm. You will need to reach back into it. So, take some time and soak it all up now. 

It is as important as air to your well being. 

I love you now and forever my child. Remember that always.

Build your life...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for making a way for my friend tonight God. That was such an ugly situation and at the last minute, like you so often do, you made a way for a peaceful way through it. Thank you for loving her and taking care of her. I remain eternally grateful for you in our lives.

What God Said Tonight:

A house made of wood is sturdy and may last for a few hundred years but house made of stone can last for thousands of years. Build your life with stone, the solid stone of my will and my promises, and it will last you through eternity. 

There is nowhere you can go that I will not go with you. There is no experience you can have that I will not walk through it with you. I am yours and you are mine forever, my child and my brother. I will be for you, forever.

Provision and protector...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for the blessings of today. There were too many to count. I am grateful for this life and this season you have me in. It is beautiful. Can't wait to see what you have for tomorrow.

What God Said Tonight:

A life lived well is its own blessing. 

I will always having blessings and joy in your life. You do have to look for them sometimes. Don't let the worry, the stress, the attacks, overshadow the blessings and joy. They do not have the power to harm you, if you keep you mind and spirit focused on me. 

I am your provision and will provide you with the blessings. I am also your protector and we keep you from harm. 

I love you my child. Keep your focus on me, on the blessings, and live each day in the full embrace of my love.

Lean into God...

 

My prayer:

I had to lean hard on you today God. Thank you for being strong enough to take whatever I give. Thank you for giving me peace when things looked at their worst. Thank you for bringing things to at least a temporary stopping point so I can rest from it all a bit. Thank you for blessing you gave me tonight. That was a truly spectacular sunset!

You are amazing and you take such good care of me. Thank you Father.

What God Said Tonight:

Let the flow of my will run through your life. Lean back on me and let me take you to your next season and to your destiny. 

Every season has its time. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. I have you heading to the end of one season and the beginning of another. But don't be concerned, don't worry about striving for what is next. Lean back into me and I will take you there. 

It is an easy transition if you lean into me. I have great and marvelous things for you my daughter. Never doubt that. I love you now and forever.
