God's sheep...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God for these last few days. With how rough last week was, I wasn't sure how to bounce back but all I had to do was trust you. You are my healer, my redeemer, and my strength. I am all yours God, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

My sheep are gathering together. They are bringing it in tight in preparation and in defense. 

My sheep know my voice and I have called them to me. They come together tonight to the safety of my land. I am the great Shepard and I will not let any of my sheep, not even one, down. 

I love you my child now and forever.

Ask for help...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your wisdom and understanding. There are these new challenges that I don't know the way through them. 

Amazing Father, show me what I should do or say. In general I pray that you show me the way through, like you always do. I pray for your help. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am here and I am always ready to help. I am your ever present help. 

I do need you to ask. 

Today, when you ran into that wall and did not know what to say or do, you relied on your own wisdom and strength, and that was not enough. Next time, rely on me and my strength and wisdom. Call out to me and I will help. Make it your instinct, your first thought, to reach out for my help and I will, always.

Troubles of today...

 

My prayer:

I have been praying all day God. Thank you for hearing my prayers. 

In times like these, all I can really pray is for your will to be done. I don't know enough about the greater forces involved to pray anything but for your will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

What God Said Tonight:

I have come to bring light and hope to the world. It may be heard to see that right now for many. 

The pains that this world is going through and must go through are hard to see. They are hard to witness. But, they are a passing trouble and pain. They will not last. 

Eternity is ours and it is good. It is free of war, and pain, and death. It is filled with love and joy and light. In that great eternity, the troubles of today will seem small. 

I am with you and I love you now and forever my child.

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.
