Live now...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Here we are at the end of one year and the cusp of a new year. I am normally a lot more introspective at this time. However, this year, this season doesn't seem to have the same kind of milestones that so many others have. You have given me a year of peace and blessings. You have taken me through every challenge as it came. And, ALL glory goes to you. It was a wonderful year, not because of anything I did but because of all that you did. 

I pray God, in the year to come that your will is done. There is no better future than your will. 

What God Said Tonight:

I know traditionally this is a time to look back and look forward. This year, tonight, I ask that you leave both the past and the future to me and that you stay focused on now. 

I will heal all the hurts of the past. I will ordain your future. All that is left is for you to live this moment now. That will be the celebration of life and of our relationship. You, living your full life now. That will be my glory and my reflection to the world. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Pull you through...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. There are a million thoughts running through my mind tonight. Things I need help with. Things my friends and family need help with. Things that are wonderful and things that are lacking. Too many things to sort out into words but I pray that you hear my heart tonight God. Unscramble the racing thoughts and hear my heart. 

I love you now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

There is nothing on earth or in heaven that is not under my control. I have seen every possibility and I have chosen our path. I am not surprised by anything. I am not thrown off by changing circumstances. There are never more details than I can keep track of. 

When you feel this overwhelmed, it is almost always because you are trying to do my job. You are trying to take control vs. trust me. I know you do not intend to, but that is where you are at tonight. 

Let go and trust me. I promise I will not let you down. This time and this season has many things in it that you can not and will not be able to solve. Not on your own and not even with help. This is a season for my intervention. This is a time to trust me to work it out. This is a time where I am asking that you lean back and let me fully guide you. 

I will not steer you off track and I will not let you fall. Just take a deep breath and know that I am God. I will not let you down. Let me pull you through this season. The more you relax into it, the easier I can pull you thorough it. The more you resist and try to take charge, the longer and slower it will be to pull you through. 

I love you know and and forever my child.

Battle is won...

My prayer:

Happy Birthday Jesus!!! What a great day of celebrating you and the joy and peace that you have brought to our lives. I know tomorrow is really the day we celebrate but today was so perfect, I had to say Happy Birthday a little early. 

Thank you for the beautiful snow, the friends, the family, the peace and the love that filled this day. What a great reflection of you and the blessings you bring in my life.  I pray that all heaven and earth are celebrating you tonight!

What God Said Tonight:

I have hidden you in the forest in this time. I have let the fog obscure you and keep you safe. 

There are many things to come in the days ahead but I have found a place of peace and protection for my children. While some will have tribulations, my children are never alone and never without my peace or my hope. 

Live your life assured that you are mine and you are never alone. I died and rose again just to have the privilege to be with you for eternity. I love you that much and always have. 

We will celebrate in the morning and for eternity because the battle has been won. The rest is just the details. I love you sweet daughter.

Eternity...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God, it is almost your birthday celebration Jesus!! I am excited to celebrate with you. It has been a full but overall pretty wonderful year that you have given me here. Thank you for giving me peace that passed all understanding. Thank you for guiding me through the challenges. Thank you for filling me with joy and blessings I could not have imagined on my own. I love you with all that I am God.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you with all that I am, sweet daughter. Another year but as you live in my flow and in my will, you will begin to experience time more like I do. Time is not something that actually passes. 

There is the now, there is the past, and there is the future. All existing at any given moment. All real. All important. 

In the end, we have eternity together and that is what matters. An eternity in my presence makes everything else fall into perspective. 

I love you sweet daughter. We will celebrate every day.

God's rhythm...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for a wonderful day of rest God. I needed it. It is really clear to me that you created us to need regular rest to be at our best. Your Sabbath is such a gift and a blessing. I pray that all of your children get the privilege to participate in your Sabbath.

What God Said Tonight:

The natural grain of life, the natural rhythms, were created for a reason. I will see you at your best and most productive when you find those natural flows I created for you. 

There is a time for work and a time for rest. There is a time for sowing and a time for reaping. There is truly a time for everything and if you can follow the rhythms that I created for you and attend to each thing in its own time. You will see amazing success and balance in your life here on earth. 

Listen to my voice and I will show you the rhythms, each day.

Lighthouse...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for an amazing day God. Thank you for helping my friend. Your miraculous intervention, making the impossible possible never fails to put me in awe. We truly can trust you with every last thing in our lives. Thank you!!

What God Said Tonight:

A light shining brightly can be a warning or a beacon. 

My light is your beacon. It shows the direction to move forward but also highlights where the danger areas are. I am your lighthouse. I will guide and protect you all the days of your life if you will only keep your eyes on me. 

I love you now and forever my child. Rest in the peace and understanding of my love for you. I will not let you be without. 

Blessings and good ground...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for an wonderful weekend with rest and fun. I am so grateful for how you bless me and my family. Each day is another day filled with your blessings. There are challenges too for sure. But even in those, your will and your glory shines through. I don't know how I have gotten to this prolonged season of blessing but I am SO GRATEFUL for it. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

You know the parable that I gave about sowing seed on different types of ground? Well the same is true of blessing and healing and all of the good things from me. 

I am generous and the blessings from me never stop flowing. However, there is the receiving side that is needed too. Sometimes my blessings fall on hard ground, hardened hearts, and they cannot even recognize the blessing as it ricochets off of the hardened heart. Others receive the blessing but it does not take root and soon they are hungry for the next blessing. They go out seeking them in the most dangerous places. Or, when the blessing falls on good ground, it takes root, is recognized for what it is and it multiplies. 

Be aware of your ground. Is it ready to receive all that I have for you? The blessings will come. Prepare your ground to receive them.
