Sovereign reign...

 

My prayer:

Mighty God. I have always thought if was my duty to take responsibility, for everything. I have always felt the pressure to make things right. You have been trying to teach me that it is not my job to make things right, that you are the only one who can truly make things right and tomorrow puts that to the test. 

I pray God that your will is done. That everything be put right. That you be glorified. 

I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

The sun shines on everyone. The rain comes in its season. There is nothing that surprises me in the seasons of your life and of this world. 

I have sovereign reign in your life because you have chosen me. I have sovereign rein in all my believers, all my children. 

Dark times with hope...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God, for everything.

What God Said Tonight:

A life spent wishing for something else is a life wasted. A life firmly rooted in purpose and faith is a life that leaves legacy, leaves a heritage for generations to come. 

I have my will and I am sovereign. You have your will and you are free to do with it as you please. When you choose my will and my purpose for your life, I can show you great things. 

I can also promise you will see dark times. That is true whether you follow me or not. At least when you follow me you have the hope and promise that I will bring you out in the end. It really is that simple. It rains on the just and the unjust, but when you have been redeemed by me, I can give you an umbrella and lead you to shelter. 

I have many great days for you. My love will never leave you.

God's sacrifice...

 

My prayer: 

Here we go into Holy Week Lord. The week where we get to remember and celebrate the sacrifice you made for us so that we could know you and have everlasting life with you. Each day of this life has its own challenges and blessings but through everything, you are my Lord, my protector, my teacher, and my savior. Thank you for all that you have done and do for me Lord. I celebrate you this week and always.

What God Said Tonight:

A sacrifice made in love does not feel like a loss. It feels like a gain. 

My sacrifice was to provide a path for you to know me. To provide a path for you and I to have a relationship for eternity. I needed to make that sacrifice so we could have what we have now. 

I will never be sorry for what I gave and I will always celebrate my children and what we have as a result. I love you and it was worth it. You were worth it my child. 

Be blessed this week and always.

Chosen...

 

My prayer:

What a RIDICULOUSLY difficult week Lord! And yet, you brought me through it all. You gave me peace. You gave me direction. You kept me from making things worse. Then, you worked everything out. 

Thank you for your peace, your hope, your direction, you healing, and most of all your love. I simply could not live this life without you. You are my everything God.

What God Said Tonight:

A voice in the dark is more welcome than a voice in the light of day. 

I am your hope in darkness I am your strength when you are weak. I am your calm in chaos. I am your wisdom in confusion. 

I love you more than you will know and it truly is my great pleasure to walk with you in this life. I have chosen you from the beginning of time and nothing that has occurred or will occur is a surprise to me. 

I know the end from the beginning and I chose you. I know the good, the bad, and the ugly and I chose you. I chose to redeem you my child. I chose to be your Lord and guide you through the pitfalls in this life. I chose to love you, no matter what. 

I love you and you must never forget that.

Coal or diamonds...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. Thank you for the rest this weekend. Life has been overwhelming and you gave me two days of peace, quiet and rest. What a gift! What a blessing. 

As we head into a new week, my prayer does not change. I pray your will is done. I pray for your help to be the best reflection of you I can be. I pray for your help to love others the way you have told me to. I pray for open eyes to see your truth around me, your discernment, and your direction for me life.

I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Diamonds among the coal. they are made of the exact same stuff but they appear so different. 

Coal is rough and dark, but very useful. It can heat your home in winter. It can power engines. Diamonds are SO beautiful, but they do not have a lot of uses outside of their beauty. 

My children are much the same. Some serve their purpose in the background doing the work to fuel the Kingdom. Others are out front, showing the world the Kingdom. Both are useful. And, to me, both are deeply beautiful. 

Whether you are coal or diamonds, you are precious to me. I love you now and forever my child.

Your path...

 

My prayer:

So much has happened this week God, it feels like a month has passed when it has only been seven days. You are so amazing. Thank you for everything you did this week. Thank you for the miracles. Thank you for the peace. Thank you for the strength. Thank you, above everything, that your will was accomplished.

I am so grateful and I can't wait to see what this next week brings!

What God Said Tonight:

Walking this path of life is only easy when you know where you are going. 

Your path is not straight and it is not wide but it is your path and I have forged ahead to show you the way. I have a plan and a purpose for your life and your eternity. It may not seem apparent right now. It may seem like you are in the back woods and inching along, but that is only because your path is unique for you. Anyone can take the highway. Your path is singular. 

I love you and I will lead you, all the days of your life.

The end and the beginning...

 

My prayer: 

Awesome Father. I know I say this a lot but I am really going to need your help this week. This world and this life keeps throwing new challenges my way and outside of leaning fully on you, I have no idea how to handle them all. I am betting that is the point. Full dependence on you. The good news is, that will not be hard because I know without a doubt, I cannot handle this on my own. I trust you God. I love you God. I leave my life fully in your hands.

What God Said Tonight:

The death of one thing, the end of one thing, is almost always the beginning of something new. I have put an end to something this week that needed to be finished. I will open up a whole new world of opportunity. The end is not to be feared but to be celebrated, especially when it is the end of pain and suffering. 

I love you my child. I am with you. I will not let you down.
