Find joy...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I know I say this almost every time we talk, but thank you. Thank you for your help. Thank you for your protection. Thank you for your blessings. And most of all, thank you for your love. 

Today was a little crazy but you made a way through it all and here we are, sitting out under the starlit sky together. I love you now and forever God. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

You can find joy in anything if you look hard enough. It is somehow easier to see the pain and the turmoil. You don't have to look for that at all. It is right there in your face screaming for attention. But joy, blessings and peace are often quieter folk who are always with you, but sometimes you have to seek them out. 

Sometimes you have to look between the challenges and see the joy. It is there, I promise. Continue to look for it. Continue to find it. It is there as a blessing to you and life is worth living with it. 

I love you daughter, now and forever.

Gift of worship...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for all of your help today. Life would be impossible without you. 

I pray for your continued guidance, direction, grace, mercy and most of all love. You are my everything God and I am yours now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a lot to tell you but each thought and each word builds upon the last one. It is not as though I will talk to you tonight and tomorrow it is done. 

I will talk to you every day for eternity. I will hear and listen to you even longer. 

I love you and your voice is music in my ears. Your worship is a sweet fragrance. Your gifts of worship matter. They matter to me. 

I love you now and forever.

Breathe...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for another blessed day. I have really worked this week at incorporating what you have said and it has been good. Flowing on your wave, being present in the moment, and generally trusting you. Life is so much easier and better when I follow you instead of thinking I can make my own way. Thank you for your guidance, your healing, and most of all, your love.

What God Said Tonight:

Breathe. I am with you now and forever. I will never leave you. I am the God of the universe, creator of everything. There is nothing that I cannot do. And, I am on your side. 

I love you and I will see you through every circumstance of this life. 

Breathe and know that I am God. Breathe and trust that I love you more than you can imagine. Breathe and see what I will do for you. 

I love you. Hear that now, I     LOVE    YOU. Now, believe it. 

Everything else is easy when you know and believe these simple things.

The wave...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for your help today Lord. I was worried about the transition back to "normal" but you made it very smooth. Thank you for taking care of my team while I was gone. Thank you for your continued blessing and favor on my life. I cannot imagine being more blessed.

You are my Lord God Almighty and I am yours, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Life, usually, is not about sharp angles and hard lines. Life is usually more of a wave that you ride. 

You can work on living a life that is more fluid. You can sometimes spend so much time putting things in boxes and they don't need to be there. 

You are my child and my Spirit goes with you wherever you are. There is a fluidity in your life, if you will allow it, that will show who you are and who I am in every situation. Not just "ministry" situations and not just at church. But always and in all things. 

I strongly desire to be in every aspect of your life. I want to be that wave that takes you from moment to moment with a smooth ease that is beautiful and effortless. Allow me to smooth out the edges and the sharp corners and let's see what that kind of life is like. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Navigator...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for today. Thank you for your guidance. Thank you for your peace. I am grateful for all that you are and all that you do in my life. I remain in awe of you.

What God Said Tonight:

Today was less about what happened and more about what did not happen. My direction is sometimes taking you toward something and other times, it is taking you away from something. I needed you set aside today, in peace, comfort and safety. 

Sometimes, as you know, I need you in the heat of the battle where I also protect you and give you peace. However, other times, like today, I need you to be kept apart and sanctified in the midst of what is happening in this world. 

One day, we will live in the new world with the new heaven and days like today won't be necessary. I won't need to guide you from things and keep you apart. In those coming days, we will live free, in joy, peace and fulfillment. It will be glorious. 

Until that time, hear my voice and let me lead you to and away from the things in this world. I will be with you always, your navigator, your guide. 

I love you sweet child.

Only you...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for another wonderful day God. Your blessings and your love are amazing. I know I say it a lot but it is always true. I pray for your healing power in me tonight God. You know the struggles and I pray for your help and healing. 

I know that every blessing and every good thing is because of you Lord. I know that this incredible life I get to live is only because of you. All glory to you God. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

I remember this day. It was a day of joy and celebration for most. But for some it was a day of sadness and grief. Each day has its own blessings and struggles. I am with  you in all of them. 

I am bring in the blessings and I help you through the struggles. I am laughing with you in your joy and I am cradling you in your tears. 

Circumstances do not determine my presence in your life. Only you can determine that. Only you can choose for me to be in your life with you or watching your life from the outside. 

I love you know and forever my child. 

Oasis to oasis...

My prayer:

Thank you for getting me through this week God. I couldn't have done it without you. It seems like I am saying that a lot these days, but it is true. I don't know how anyone makes it in this world today without you. I wouldn't want to even try.

Thank you for being my strength, my guide, and my salvation. I love you with all that I am.

What God Said Tonight:

You live from oasis to oasis, blessing to blessing, in a desert world. I will always guide you to the next blessing. I have them laid out strategically for you on your path in life. 

I love blessing you. I have knitted in you a tapestry of blessing so that your natural response is to bless those around you. You reflect my blessing and it shines on those around you. They may have never known me, but they see me through your blessing and they get to choose a life with me. 

I don't need big productions in your life but I do need you to reflect my blessing. It makes a difference and it brings people to me that might otherwise be lost. That is what matters. 

I love you now and forever my child.
