Being stretched...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. it has been pretty challenging this week but I am grateful that you have brought me through it all. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for helping me keep your peace during the chaos at work. Thank you for being my hope, now and always. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes you are stretched. While that is not comfortable it does enlarge you, your influence. 

Each time you are stretched, either by challenges or by the choices you make to challenge yourself, you grow. Each time you grow, your influence grows. Each time your influence grows, you get to reflect my love and my power to more people. Each time that happens, there is more opportunity for my children to return. 

So, what it comes down to is I won't keep you from being stretched. That is an inherent part of growth and is vitally important to my Kingdom. I won't let you be stretched to breaking. I won't let that stretching, that challenge be for no reason. But, I will let it happen. 

Trust in me to keep you safe and bring you through it. But don't disdain or discount the value of being stretched. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

Only just begun...

 

My prayer:

I am grateful for the life you have given me here Lord. I am yours now and forever. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Rest in me. Receive my strength. Receive my wisdom. Recieve my blessings. 

As my child you are entitled to so many things. You have only just begun to recognize the privileges of being mine. I have so much more to show you. 

I love you with all that I am and I will see you blessed beyond measure. 

Rest now and see what joy tomorrow brings. Or, more to the point, see what joy I bring tomorrow. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Bless those who don't know God, yet...

 

My prayer:

Thank you again for all of your help today God. I could not do what I do without you. 

I am so grateful for you in my life. I am eternally grateful for the salvation that you have given me so I can spend eternity with you. But I am also grateful that I don't have to wait for heaven before I get to know you and be with you. Living this life, in this crazy world, would not be possible for me, without you.

Thank you for all that you are and all that you do.

What God Said Tonight:

I have blessed you so you can and will be a blessing to others. 

Not everyone knows me. Not everyone can receive my blessings. They must know me and choose me to receive my blessings. However, you can bless them. You can take that which I bless you with and you can bless those around you. 

You can let them know that you are blessed by me. You can show them, through your life, the benefits of a life with me. It is that testimony of life and blessings that can show those who don't yet know me, why they want to know me. 

I don't need you to preach, but I need you to bless those around you. I need you to love those around you. That is what can win their hearts. 

I love you my child, now and forever.

Regardless...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God for doing the impossible, again. Thank you for time to recover this weekend. Thank you for being so amazing. I love you. I trust you. My life is yours.

What God Said Tonight:

We will walk into tomorrow together. As we always do. Regardless of the circumstances and what happens, remember I am with you and I am not leaving. Regardless of what demands tomorrow brings, I am with you and I am not leaving you. Regardless of anything, those two things do not change. I am with you and I am not leaving you. 

I will never stop fighting for you, protecting you. loving you. I am committed to you for eternity. 

My child, I can never tell you enough how I love you because it goes beyond your understanding. Receive that love tonight and walk into tomorrow confident in it.

Reflect God's glory...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for all you have done this week. Your protection and guidance and favor has been amazing. I have one more day where I need to do the impossible, which I know from experience with you, it is possible. I pray for your help to get it all done. On my own, I could never do it. With you, truly all things are possible. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help. I will destine you to succeed, not for your sake but for the sake of those you serve and love. 

I will show them how I am the God of impossible situations. I will show them that I can make a way where there is no way. I will reflect my glory in you and they will see. 

Will and choice...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for your reminders today. You are very good to me Holy Spirit. My mind and my memory are really not very good but with you, I look like a genius. 

As we head on this journey tomorrow, I pray God that your will is done. I pray that your peace go with me, remain in me, emanate from me, and return with me. I pray that you help me to see every opportunity to love and reflect your love. I pray that your will is done God, in all things.

What God Said Tonight:

A reminder is just a reminder. It is your will that determines if you follow through or not. It is your will that decides if it will listen to me or not. I gave you choice for very specific reasons. 

I love you and I gave you that ability to choose to love me, or not. 

Remember to choose, each day and as you heard last night, each day for as long as today is today. 

I love you. I am with you. I will never leave you. You will go in my peace and blessing. It will not return void. 

What matters...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I do not feel like I did a very good job today. I let the stress get to me. I took it out on people who did not deserve it. I was not a very good reflection of your love.

Thank you for showing me what I was doing and giving me the opportunity to apologize. Thank you for knowing how imperfect I am and for covering me with your grace. Thank you for loving me anyway. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am still here. I am with you. I never left you. 

This life you are living is not about being perfect. It is not about many of the things you worry about. This life is about loving.Being loved and loving others. It is the one thing that truly does matter. 

I love you. Receive that love tonight. It will fuel you and fill you tomorrow to love those around you, better.
