Reflection of God's love...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for working out the tough spots today. Thank you for the good news in the middle of the chaos. Thank you for bringing me through it all. 

Days like today remind me how unbelievably blessed I am to have you leading my life. I don't know how I ever would have gotten through the barrage of road blocks today if it wasn't for you. 

You are amazing and I am grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

Remember the insight of today. Remember the depth and purpose you discovered in the middle of it all. Remember how right it felt to show and give out my love when there was nothing good to point too. 

You have heard me say this so many times, and today you saw the fruit of it. 

When in doubt, love those around you. When there is a challenge too big to overcome, love those around you. When everything is going perfectly...love those around you. 

You be the reflection of my love and I will take care of everything else. 

Greatness...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Jesus. Thank you for all that you are doing for us. Thank you for being just what we need when we need it most. The glory is all your God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Now is the time of great experiences and achievements. But those achievements come in reaction to great challenges. 

Do not be afraid of the challenge. Do not be intimidated by it, no matter how big, The challenge is only there to provide the jumping off point, the excuse for the great glory and blessing. 

I will use every last bit of this challenge to bless you. I will turn it for your good. Do not be sad or worried or nervous about the challenge. Truly, rejoice in it. It is there for your good. 

Now and forever my child. I love you now and forever.

God's glory set free...

 

My prayer:

It was another intense day God. Thank you for bringing me through it. Thank you for giving me peace in the middle of the chaos. And thank you for turning 24 hours of work into 12. 

I love you like crazy.

What God Said Tonight:

Every day and every challenge is another chance for you to trust me and for me to show my glory in your life. It does not take a life filled with only good things to show my glory. It is in the hard times and in the challenges where I can most help, when my power and my love is most apparent. 

I never want hard things to come into  your life. But, when they do, I will always provide the opportunity for you to trust me in it and I will always provide the opportunity for me to turn it for your good. 

In your trust, in your faith, my glory is set free. 

I love you daughter, now and forever.

Restoration...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for answered prayer today God. What would have been a devastating loss, you turned into a short interruption. Thank you for how well you take care of me. Thank you for caring about the things I care about. Thank you for hearing me, even when my prayers may seem small.

I love you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A restoration is a reason to celebrate, no matter how big or how small. 

I am a God of restoration. I love to bring back those things that you love. Something that is lost and then found has more value to us than something that is never lost at all. 

I go after the one and I never come back empty handed. 

I love you, now and forever my child.

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.
