Let God's love...

My prayer:

I love Friday nights with you God. We have made it through the week and I have Sabbath to look forward to. The worries of the week seem to slide off in your presence and your peace.

Thank you for always being here for me. Thank you for always taking care of me. Thank you for always blessing me. Thank you for always loving me. 

Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

Sink down into my lap my daughter. Lay your head on my shoulder. Let me love you tonight. Let me wrap my arms around you tonight. Let me convince you that I will never leave you and that I will always protect you from every evil. 

My whole purpose is to love you. That is my goal. That is my focus. I will love you all the days of your life and well beyond. I will love you through eternity. 

Let my love carry you tonight. Let it comfort you tonight. Let it surround you tonight, filling every cut, every hole, every deficit, making you whole, complete and fully satisfied in me. 

I am all yours, now and forever my love. 

You choose...

My prayer:

Following you God is the easiest and hardest thing in the world! On the one hand, I just need to follow your flow, your open doors, your opportunities and you make everything that I touch be blessed. On the other hand, When I look at all of the possibilities for my next step and I am trying to take the one that you want me to, it can be crazy hard.

God, I can only do what I think is best, and sometimes I can only do what I can do. I pray that you take it all and work it to my good and the good of those around me. I love you and my heart is good even if sometimes my execution is not.

What God Said Tonight:

I don't have just one right path for you. I have many paths, all of which can work toward the good of the Kingdom and for your good. I am not picky, You can choose any of them. 

All have great benefits and all have great challenges. All will lead you to your destination in me because I am in you now, I will stay in you and we will arrive at the final destination together, at the feet of the Father, you covered in my holiness. 

All that happens between now and then is really up to you. I can't wait to see what you choose. I will bless it. I will help you. We have some great adventures to live out on the way to the final destiny. You pick which ones. 

You and me forever...

My prayer:

Awesome and mighty God. I have that feeling of imminent anticipation again. Like something is just about to happen but not quite yet. 

It is exciting, nerve wracking, and exhilarating but I am ready to go over the cliff and see the new thing! I am ready to fall head first into the new thing. I am ready to sink down in it and revel in it! I am SO READY!! 

Thank you God for always having a hope and a new thing for me! Life would be meaningless and so boring without you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here, in you, around you. I am your cover and your peace. I am your hope and your promise. I am your future. 

There is never a need to be anxious or to worry because everything we do, for the rest of eternity we will do together and therefore, it will all work to your good. As long as we stick together, you have nothing to worry about. And, since I will never leave you, looks like we are sticking together forever. 

I will walk with you into the new thing. I will carry you through the hard things. I will dance with you in the good things. You and me forever.

God's anger...

My prayer:

Wonderful Lord. As you know, I have been reading the gospels a lot lately and I am puzzled by something. Well, maybe puzzled is the wrong word but I am noticing something I have not noticed in the past. Jesus, was tough. I grew up with this image of Jesus as being this sweet, loving, kind and gentle man. And, I see those aspects of him in the gospels; however, I also see that he, that you, were angry A LOT. 

I see that Jesus never backed down from a confrontation. At most, he would cease to answer. And, how many times did they try to stone you? I think I have counted up to five so far. 

I think maybe the image that I have had of Jesus has been a bit off. I have always thought of Jesus as the sweet side of you God and the Father as the tough side. Now it does not seem so clear cut. 

Love you God, all of you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have many more aspects of me to show you. I am infinite, all powerful, all knowing, and Lord of the universe. It is not possible for you to know all of me even in one hundred lifetimes. But we do have eternity together so you will have time. 

My nature is to love. My reaction can sometimes seem harsh. But the harshness is only a result of seeing others put in danger or harmed. I will always get angry and fight back when someone tries to hurt one of my kids. Whether that is through physical pain, spiritual pain or emotional pain, I will defend you now and forever in every circumstance. 

My anger, my wrath is never for you . I have you covered in my righteousness and therefore you are loved. I will protect you to the ends of he earth and beyond. Nothing evil shall come near you and nothing shall harm you. That is a promise. 

Hope always...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. I know you say that joy comes in the morning but today started pretty rough and got better and better as the day went on. Joy came in the evening today. Morning or evening, I don't care, as long as it comes! 

So much of life is hard. It would be unbearable without your joy. 

Thank you for friends, thank you for inspiration, thank you for laughter. Love you so much!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have one thing for you that will never run out. Well I have many things for you that will never run out. But the one thing, that you will know every day for all eternity is hope. I always have more hope for you. 

In the brightest of days or the darkest of nights, I have hope for you. 

I will always show you the sun on the horizon if you will just look up. When you are going through the hard times, it is easy to look down, to look at the problem. I ask you to look up and you will see I have hope waiting for you. 

I ALWAYS have a way out for you. I will never leave you in the pit, in the fire. I will always bring you out. 

I love you so much. I really do. 

God in charge...

My prayer:

Mighty God. There are so many things that are outside of my control. So many things I want to help with but feel entirely ineffectual in being able to help. There are so many situations and people who need your help, now. 

I love your peace in the storm. I love that you take care of us. But sometimes, like now, we need the situation to change. Hearts need to be healed, people need your protection, people need your protection, and we all need your love to be blatantly evident in our lives. God you know the specifics and the people I am talking about tonight.

God, I am sorry to jump right into the needs tonight. I do  love you. I do appreciate you. I do worship you God as the only one true God, my savior, my everything. All of those things are true, But the needs are true too. Please help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have the whole world in my hands. Not just the world itself but every last detail within the world. I can intervene in any situation that you release my will into. 

I am not shy and I am not timid. When it is time for the storm to cease, I will call it to cease and it will. When the time comes for deliverance, I will send the deliverer and make a way out where there seemed to be no way. I will heal bodies, minds, souls, spirits, of anyone who believes. I will fix the problem. 

Believe it, trust me, see me work it out. I love you daughter.

Love anyway...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I have been fighting depression all day and truth is I am losing the battle. My life is blessed and wonderful. I have no right to be feeling like this. You have been so generous to me, I should be on my knees thanking you but I am simply not there tonight. 

God, I am sorry that I can't do what I know I should. But, this is where I am at tonight. A mess. Thank you for loving me anyway.

What God Said Tonight:

My sweet daughter. What has brought  you to this place? What has you feeling like you are less than you should be? 

You are trying to live up to expectations that are not from me. I have no expectations of you other than to be who you are and to love. 

You were hearing my voice tonight. When in doubt, love anyway. When you are afraid that you are doing the wrong thing, love anyway. When you are afraid you are taking the wrong path, love anyway. When you see that your life is less than what you want it to be, love anyway. 

I really have the one job for you, love anyway. I will, I PROMISE, I WILL take care of everything else. I WILL. You just go ahead and love anyway.
