Resting...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father, thank you for this weekend and the joy and the rest you have given me. I pray, in this next week, that you help me find the peace and restoration that has been missing a bit. I pray above all things that your will is done. Guide me, direct me, help me to see what you have for my life. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

There is nothing t do this week that cannot wait. I have you slowed down, carefully, for a time of rest and that time is now. I will always speak to you. I will always guide you. But this week is about resting in my spirit. 

Through faith...

 

My prayer:

When I look to last week's prayer and see all that you have done in 7 days time...I am in awe. You are incredible. You can take a situation that seems hopeless and turn it around to where I can barely remember the struggle. I can barely remember why I was so worried. 

Thank you for always finding a way through for me God. Thank you for always having the answer. I love you and I love being your daughter.

What God Said Tonight:

Today is not the end of your struggles and challenges. This world will find new ways, or more likely old ways repeated, to try to tear you down. It is a natural result of being my child. 

I cannot keep those challenges from you but I can and will always provide you a way through them. You can count on that one thing. I will always guide you through them and we will always win in the end. 

I know you would often rather not go through it at all. To live a life in perfect peace with no strife. But that is not how this world is made. I can offer you that perfect peace but it is through faith in me. It is through faith that I will never leave you. It is through faith that I will always have the answer. It is through faith that I, that we, will always win. 

That is where you will find peace in this world. 

I love you my sweet daughter. Rest in your faith.

Next level...

 

My prayer:

Awesome healer. I find myself back in the same challenge, the same struggle, again. And again, I have no answers. What is this? Why does the pain keep returning? What should I do, not do? All I know to do is to leave it in your hands and listen for your voice. I pray for your help Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

Is this the same? Is this the same struggle and the same challenge or is this actually the next level and the next step in this journey that I have set for you. I hate that you are in pain but I do love that this has taught you the ultimate reflex that will protect and serve you in every situation. 

When this hits, you turn to me. You still try to figure it out but you first turn to me. It was not so long ago that you spent hours, days, weeks, months trying to figure it out and when all else failed you came to me. That has reversed and now, you first come to me. 

That is good. That is progress. That shows that we are not back where we began but we are at a new level and the knowledge and wisdom for this step are yet to be discovered. 

I love you my child, now and forever. Do not give up or give in. We will make it through together.

Restoration or brand new?

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father, thank you for the time to rest today. 

I pray God that your will is done in all things. I pray that your perfect will is accomplished today and forever. I pray that anything that is not within your will, not in alignment with your will, that it is stopped and not allowed to be, any more. I pray your will for my life, my family, my home, my town, my state, my country, my world and everything beyond this world. I pray your will is done. 

As a disciple of Christ, I pray. Thank you Lord

What God Said Tonight:

The place that use to be green and lush is now brown and barren. There are the remnants of the old grass, but there is nothing truly left of it. It is not even a shadow of what it was before. 

I am the God of restoration and I can restore this for you if you want it. Or, I can keep us moving forward to the new earth and the new heaven where so many things that worry you now don't even exist there. 

I have gone to prepare you a place and it is nearly ready, but not quite. 

Building with my Father...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. Happy Father's Day!!! To the one and only Holy Father of all mankind and to my Lord and Father, thank you for all that you do for me and with me. Thank you for your protection, your wisdom, your direction, your healing and your salvation. Thank you for choosing me and for loving me. You are everything to me Father and I love you more than I can express.

What God Said Tonight:

We are building a new life and a new world together my child. There is so much more to do and to see. We have only just begun. Let us walk into this future hand in hand and I will show you such great things. 

A well constructed building can last for centuries and beyond. A building constructed by me can last forever. Let's build the best world possible that will last for eternity. 

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

Hope...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for bringing me through the pain and the challenge. To have several days in a row now without the constant pain has been truly wonderful. Thank you for getting me through that season. I pray your will be done in all things my Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

There is little doubt that this life brings with it times of pain and hardship. I know what those seasons are like. There can be no other reaction to that pain but hope. Any other response brings more pain and more destruction. Hope is the one thing that can stand in the face of any circumstance as long as the core of the hope, the thing you have hope in, is bigger and stronger than the pain and hardship that you face. 

I am God almighty. There is no one and no thing greater than I am. There is no challenge that is greater than I am. There is no pain that is greater than I am. I am your hope, now and forever. I will see you through, every time. You are my children and I will not abandon you, now or ever. 

I love you more than you can ever know or understand. You are mine and I love you.

Battle call...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for today. I am almost afraid to say it or even think it but I feel like we might be coming through to the other side of this struggle and pain. I pray, if that is your will, that it is true. This has been a rough season. I pray that you help me to see and understand everything that you would want me to learn from this season. I don't ever want to go through this one again if I can help it. I love you Lord. Thank you for your help, your strength, your wisdom, and your will in my life. I am yours, now and forever God.

What God Said Tonight:

You are headed for the finish line and you are aimed directly at the center of the target. I have not left you and I have not ever expected you to endure this on your own. 

I am with you in every battle and every victory. I am your coach and your cheerleader. I will see you victorious every single time. Sometimes the battle call is to fight and sometimes it is to surrender, but whatever the call, keep your eyes and ears on me and I will lead you to the victory. 

I love you my child, now and forever.
