Higher level...

My prayer:

Another wonderful day full of great friends, inspiration and relaxed joy. Let's keep these going God! It is great to be able to just enjoy everyday life. 

I thank you for the jump start of inspiration this weekend. I pray for your continued guidance and help to see what the nest steps are. I am excited to see what you have waiting for me.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes, the thing you think is a wall that is blocking your future is actually just a humongous step up. Maybe that "wall " you are staring at is actually a ledge to a higher level. 

Let me lift you up to walk on a new level, a higher purpose, a greater journey. Stop worrying about knocking the wall down and let me lift you up. 

I love you and we are in this together. I will see you achieve all that I have planned for you.

Offence...

My prayer: 

I really love how you always give me exactly what I need when I need it God. Today was full of rest and encouragement. There was the snow too which wasn't so great, but it kept me from wanting to run around doing errands and stuff so it was good in the end!

You are truly wonderful. Your love and care is better than anything in the world or in heaven. Thank you for loving me!

What God Said Tonight:

Each day is anew opportunity to recognize your true self in me. Life is a series of experiences that can lead you closer to me and your true self if you allow it. 

The biggest barrier will be offence and the pain related to offence. If you can find a way to live free of offence, I can show you truly great things. I can show you the true, whole and amazing person you were created to be. And you can be a tremendous, gigantic, wonderful blessing to those around you. 

Walk with my Spirit in you and PLEASE, when offence comes at you, remember it for the weapon it is. Remember that it is a land mine that is trying to take you off of the path to your true self. It is a decoy to get your eyes off of what counts. Let no offence stay in you. It is simply not worth the cost. 

I love you, now and forever.

Waves...

My prayer:

Friday night, nearly May and we have a bit of a blizzard roaring outside. I love when life is unpredictable! 

I don't know what tomorrow will bring God but I know I will face it with you and that is enough. Anywhere with you is better than anywhere without you. 

My thoughts are kind of all over the place tonight God. Flitting around and not settling on any one thing. I feel unsettled. Maybe it is just the odd weather? I am not sure but I think I would be better off listening to what you have to say instead of blathering on with nonsense words and thoughts.

What God Said Tonight:

When it rains it pours. It is a saying but it is true. The happenings of your life, the themes, come at you in waves. Just about the time you think you have handled one, another once comes right behind it. 

The only way you mange the waves is to ride on them. If you sink into them, you will drown. You have to ride on top. The way to get on top is to reach for me. I will lift you up. 

Don't wish for the storms to leave your life. They often bring just what you need. They bring the moisture for the next season. But yo can and should ask for my help to rise above. From up here, the storm does not look so bad. 

I love you and I am with you now and forever.

Stop and listen...

My prayer:

My brain is done for today God. I can't think of a thing worth talking about. But, my ears are always open to hear you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have a lot to say but the time for saying it is running low. It is crossroads time. Time to make choices. Your  choices determine your future. 

Your future is with me. 

Never forget to stop and listen for my voice during the day. 

Wholeness...

My prayer:

A better day thanks to you God. Do we ever get to a point where we are satisfied, no matter the circumstances? Can I ever get to a point where I am so solid in your presence in me that the world, satan, and general nastiness can't reach me? To get to a point where I can say, "I call it all joy." That would be amazing. 

I pray God that you help me to be more aware of your presence in me. Let me feel you, see you, touch you, whatever you will allow God. Your presence in me makes me worthwhile.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

A place of wholeness. Wholeness of body, mind and spirit. That is what you seek and that is what you will have. 

I came to make my people whole. 

I came so that you could live. 

I came for you. 

The frustration of waiting...

My prayer:

I am not proud of myself today God. I let anger and frustration get the better of me. I got angry with people I care about. I let stupid things get me frustrated. 

I made apologies God but I need your grace and mercy to cover me and help me to do better tomorrow. 

Thank you Jesus for covering my sin.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on me is never fun, You know to wait, but how long?

There is a little stretch more. Nothing more than you can handle. I am here and with you in this, now and always.

This week...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your help to see the purpose in this week coming up. Help me to see the opportunities to be a blessing. Help me to see your direction and you plan. 

God, I pray that this not be just an ordinary week. Let this week be extraordinary. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Waves of trouble, pain, joy, blessings they rush in and they rush back out. Yet you still stand firm rooted in me. Your standing, your roots are what keep you from being swept away. 

I won't let go. You are mine and I am yours forever. 

We will walk the path of mercy and grace together. We will see people healed. We will see people saved. We will see the new heaven and the new earth. It may not all happen this week but parts of all of it will happen this week. 

I love you and I am with you.
