The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.
My prayer:
Amazing God. You are Jehovah Jireh, my provider. You are Jehovah Nissi, my victory. you are Jehovah Rapha my healer. You are Jehovah Shalom my peace. You are everything God. You are all knowing and all powerful.
I sometimes still get confused as to why you need us. I know you have told me but when I look at all that you are and see how little of anything I am, why would you need or want me for anything?
God, help me to be a better person. Help me to be more of who you want me to be. Help me to love better. Help me to be more responsive to your will. Help me God to be all that you want me to be. I love you God and I am willing and you are able.
What God Said Tonight:
I think you need to go back and read last night's response because you are still struggling with that self worth thing. I love you just as you are. I have covered you in my blood that your imperfections are completely covered. I love you so much I wanted to provide a foolproof way to make sure you are redeemed and we can be together forever.
The answer to most any question you have for me is that I love you. Why do I need you and want your service and help? Because I love you. Whey do I tell you to pray over everything and pray without ceasing? Because I love you and when you are praying we are getting to interact one-on-one. Why do I tell you not to do some things? Because I love you and those things will hurt you. Why do I keep this world turning despite the pain and the things that have gone wrong? Because I love you and I want every single person to have the chance to love me and receive my love.
Next time you have a bunch of questions running through your head, try putting the answer "Because I love you" after it and see if it makes sense. I bet it will.
I love you so much I can never fully expresses it to you. I sacrifice for you daily and I do it willingly because of my love for you. Rest and know that we will have plenty more to do together in this life. You are not experiencing endings but you are experiencing new beginnings. Go with it and see what we will do next. I love you daughter...there I go again! Loving you.
My prayer:
Awesome God. All day I have been filled with doubts. I don't want to whine about it but I think I need to bring it to you. I am doubting myself and my capabilities. I am doubting whether I can do what I believe you have asked me to do. I am doubting the anointing on my life. I am doubting it all.
I know this will pass. I have been here enough times to know that these phases don't last. But, tonight, in the middle of it, I just feel rotten. I know that none of it is me anyway. It is all you working through me. But, what if you stop working through me? What if I mess up and you can't work through me anymore? This life is worth nothing to me if I can't serve you and accomplish what you have for me. And, that is where I am tonight. Feeling like I don't have the right stuff to do what you want me to do and since I don't, life doesn't feel worth the trouble.
I am sorry for the drama. I know I have no right to complain. You have done so much for me God. I am truly grateful for all that you have done and do in my life. I am grateful for who you are. I am sorry I have let the doubts get the better of me today. I know that you have already said I am the head and not he tail, that you will make me succeed, that I am a priest and a king. I know that you have said that I can do all things through you. God, I am trying to encourage myself and look at how you see me. I am not doing a very good job of believing it tonight. Help please.
What God Said Tonight:
It is transition time again. You always get unsure of yourself in transitions. It is normal but it is not necessary. Stop worrying about what you can and cannot do. Start remembering what I can do.
In this next season after the transition, you will have to lean on me even more. I will be asking you to do many things that are beyond your ability to do them. You will need to turn to me for every one of them. I have gifted you with many talents and you have used them all for my Kingdom. I cannot tell you how much that has meant to me. Now, it is time for the next level. Now it is time for you to trust me to do what I have promised. Now it is time for you to rely on me for every step and every accomplishment.
I have some very specific ideas about how we are to move forward and I will guide and direct you through it all. Your job right now is to let go of the notion that you have to do it all. You only have to show up and I will take care of every other step as it is needed. As I have so many times in your past, when you need a new skill, I will give it to you. When you need people to help, I will bring them around you. When you need strength I will give you mine.
Trust in me, not in yourself. You will let you down. Not because you want to but because you are limited. I am not. I love you daughter. Watch during the next couple of weeks and note all of the changes. Know that I have equipped you for it all. Peace I give to you tonight.
My prayer:
Beautiful God! SO, we just did this once and the whole thing got erased before I could post it. I guess you didn't want that one posted...Your will be done! What do you want to say tonight? I am here.
What God Said Tonight:
It is not that I didn't want to to say the things that I said to you before or that there was anything wrong with them. They were just for you tonight.
Sometimes, I want your undivided attention to tell you something that you don't have to share. We don't do that very much anymore. You share so much which is fantastic and what I want you to do but I miss our private time sometimes.
I need some one-on-one time now and then. Let's spend this Sabbath together, doing things you like to do and things we like to do together. But mostly, lets spend it together one-on-one. I love corporate worship. I love when my people gather together but now and then, I want you one-on-one.
I love you daughter. Rest now and we will be together for ever.
My prayer:
My awesome God. Falling asleep sitting up again God. I gave all I had today, which wasn't a lot to start with. I am grateful that you brought me through this day. I am grateful for your favor. I am grateful for your healing. I am grateful for you. And, all I want now, more than sleep and more than anything else. I want to hear your voice. I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?
What God Said Tonight:
My Spirit is on you and in it you are strong. My Spirit lives in you and guides you, gives you favor with others, shows you the truth, gives you strength when you have none.
There is a light in you, a reflection of my Holy Spirit that draws people and they don't even know why. There is a power in you that draws people and they don't even know why. They are drawn to my Spirit, alive in you.
My power is addictive. Once you experience it, you always want more. That is why I never worry about the prodigal son. I know he will be back. Every time. You can't turn your back on me and my power once you have experienced it.
That is why it is so important that everyone has an opportunity to experience me and my power. Everyone needs to have the chance to choose me. It is so important and possibly the most important thing that there is. Help people experience me through your life Provide opportunities for people to experience me. Make it possible for everyone to have the opportunity to know me.
I will continue to draw them to you through light and my power. I will bring them. Be ready when they come. reflect me, share my power, help them to experience that power. That is your main objective and the primary thing I need you focused on right now.
I love you daughter. Rest well.
My prayer:
My God. I am not sure how to say what I am feeling tonight God. I am so completely, deeply, and beyond explanation grateful for you God. You are so beautiful to me. You are my everything. You make everything worthwhile. You are my reason for getting up in the morning and my last thought before I go to bed.
You are the one who teaches me all that I need to know. You are the one that blesses me beyond what I can imagine. You are the one who heals me. You are the reason for my very existence. How do fully convey my gratitude in simple words. I don't have words big enough to describe who you are and what you mean to me. My attempts are inadequate but hear my heart and know how much I truly love you My God. I am completely yours. I am here for you and for what ever you need. I am honored and grateful to be called yours. What is on your mind tonight my precious Father?
What God Said Tonight:
I am here for you always and your words may be too little but your heart is more than enough. I love you too. Our love was destined from the dawn of time. It is epic. There are no words in your language for the love that we have.
You know how some times your prayers don't have actual words? You know how sometimes your prayer is nothing more than a groan. Those sounds, those messages from the heart can mean more and convey more than simple words ever can.
I love you daughter and I will find multiple ways to show you. I will continue to bless you. I will continue to guide you, protect you, and heal you so that you remember who I am and my love for you.
Love is not something you show once and expect that they will remember. Love is something that has to be renewed daily. I will renew my love and expression of it for you daily. Can you do the same for me? Can you remember to express your love for me every day?
Each time, each day that we do, that will bring us even closer together. We have so much yet to do and I want to do it in complete concert. I want us to act as one. I want there to be no distance between us.
I love you and I am dedicated to making sure that we are together forever, growing closer every day. I am dedicated to this, are you? It has to be a two way street. Love is our multiplier. Love me, love your people around you. Love well and you will be loved. Good night my dear. Sleep well in my love for you.
My prayer:
All powerful and mighty God. Our good intentions, goal setting, and hard work are not enough God. Even our fellowship is not enough. Fact is, without your power, active and present in our lives, this life is just too hard.
God, tonight my thoughts are stayed with so many friends that are really struggling. Divorce, sickness, bankruptcy, and more. These are your kids God and they are trying to do all of the right things. But, it is not enough.
God we need a supernatural move of your power in their lives. God, I pray and ask that you show up and change their circumstances. I pray that you make a way out for them. I pray God that you send your warrior angels to fight the fight for them. I pray God that you heal every hurt, provide for them out of your riches in glory and restore what has been taken from them. I ask these things according to your promises to us. I praise and thank you God for hearing this prayer and praise you in advance for what you are about to do. Thank you Jesus! amen.
What God Said Tonight:
What you see as tragedy is nothing more than opportunities for me to show my power in peoples lives. I have promised to care for you and for all of my children and I do not go back on my promises.
For those who are wiling, my power is available. For those who are willing to see the miraculous, I have miracles. For those who are willing to experience the unmatchable power of the all mighty powerful God of all creation, I am here and my power is active and alive.
Your belief and your willingness is the only thing that can put a barrier on what I can do. When you refuse it, when you think, "oh that just can't happen!" Those are the times when my power is held back. When you can truly say in every situation that all things are possible through me, that is when you are going to see the windows of heaven open and see that as it is in heaven, it is here on earth.
You will see the miraculous every day. Your eyes will be opened to all of the amazement around you . You will see with new eyes and hear with new ears. You will be aware of me in ways that you have only heard about in the past.
But you must be willing. You must be wiling to suspend your disbelief and prejudice and allow yourself to believe that everything is possible. I love you and I want you to have everything I have for you. Open your heart and your mind so you can receive it.
My prayer:
Incredible Father God! What a great day! A day full of good news. A day full of dreams fulfilled!! God you have given me dreams bigger than what I could have thought of on my own and then you go right ahead and fulfill them in my life.
Living for you is such an incredible experience! No it is not all easy but it is always worth it, just like you promise.
God I am grateful for everything you do and everything you are. I am in awe of your power and your love. I am in awe of you God. I am so lucky that I get to worship you forever. I love you with everything that I am.
What God Said Tonight:
I will be water when you are thirsty, food when you are hungry, shelter when you are cold, comfort when you are afraid. I will be everything you need when ever you need it. I will prepare you for every event, blessing or struggle.
I will protect you and keep you precious and set apart. I will protect you from the enemy and the weapons that are formed against you. I will not allow any agenda in your life except for the one that we have agreed upon. I will teach you and guide you. I will help you when you need help. I will forgive you when you need forgiveness. I will heal you when you are sick.
I will because I am. I will be everything for you because I am.
I will never leave you. I will never turn my back on you. I will never leave you to fend for yourself. I will always have your back and I will always be with you now and forever. I love you with a never ending love that is too deep to be measured and to wide to be traveled across. I am your God and your Father and I love you. I am yours.
