Muscle memory...

 

My prayer:

Awesome Father. My thoughts are fairly jumbled tonight. I have so many questions, so few answers, and yet, somehow, I still have your peace. I look at the world and think the only rational response is panic. I look at you and know the only rational response is peace and trust. 

I trust you Lord, with everything. I pray your will is done, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Muscle memory. You have been learning a lot about it lately. 

Faith, in many ways, is like a muscle. Trust is like a muscle. Finding the peace in knowing that I will take care of you, always, is like a muscle. The more you use it the easier it is. 

When you first put your trust in me, especially in the midst of chaos or that situation that is completely impossible, it feels odd, even wrong. But them, I show up,  take care of everything in a way that you could never imagine and next time, it is a little easier to trust. It is a little easier to have the faith to know that I will never leave you and I will always take care of you. 

Keep building that muscle memory of faith and trust in me. Each time, it will be easier. 

Grapes and wine...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. I really don't have anything to talk about tonight. Thank you for the peace and rest. I pray that your will is done, in all things. I love you Lord.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a harvest of new grapes. They are ready to be picked and stored. They will be best if they are aged and fermented. 

Grapes, fresh off of the vine are good. They are juicy and sweet and satisfying. However, they don't last. In time, they lose their freshness. But if preserved correctly, they become something more, something better than they were when they were fresh. They become something that stands the test of time and will continue to improve with age. 

You, my daughter, were wonderful when you were fresh but I have you in a fermenting stage right now. And, what you will be when you come through this season will be better than what you were and will stand the test of time. 

Do not worry about what you are doing today. Today, I am keeping you separate to ferment. When you are ready, when it is time, you will shine.

Desire healing...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I feel like I have spent the entire week praying for healing. Healing for friends, family, my dog, a lot of prayer for healing. 

It is one of the things that I love so much about you. You are Jehovah Rapha, our healer. You bought our healing with the stripes that you took for our sake. I love that saving us from hell and death was not enough. Making it possible for us to know you personally, was not enough. You made sure, in the sacrifice, that we could have your healing power while we are still living on earth. 

That is amazing love God and I am so grateful. Thank you for your healing power in our lives. physical, emotional, spiritual healing. Without your healing, this life would be so much more painful. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Healing is a gift that is given but not always received. I love you and it is my full desire to see you healed and whole. I can provide the gift but I cannot make you receive it. 

Sometimes, I provide that gift of healing in different ways, ways that I think you can and will receive it. I know the pain of this world. 

I know the pain of sickness and death. I know and remember it as if it was yesterday. I love you and it is my desire that you not experience those things. I do not want you sick or in pain. I want you whole, well, and in joy. That is my desire. What is yours?

A new book...

 

My prayer:

A new year and a new outlook. I always love the changing over of the year God. It always seems like a time of hope and potential. 

Thank you for all that you did in 2024. What an amazing year of discovery and healing. 

I pray that your will is fully accomplished in 2025. There is nothing better than your will. 

What God Said Tonight: 

I have you in my arms and in the shadow of my wings, as always my daughter. 

This coming year has nothing in it that I don't know about or have not already planned for. 

Like starting a new book, you know that things will happen, but you are yet to discover what those things are and how you will feel about them. 

Lean on me, trust me. I will bring you through every triumph and every struggle, as I always have. I love you my daughter.

Seeing and believing...

 

My prayer:

I am thinking tonight God about what an amazing privilege it is that we get to pray to you, to lay our needs before you, and that you listen. 

There is no reason for you to listen. You are the ruler of the Universe. You could very rightly think, why should I listen to any human. But instead, you loved us so much that you came to earth in the form of a man and gave up your life so that we could know you and we could pray to you and you could hear us. 

It is pretty inconceivable that you love us that much and that giving us a way to live with you forever was so important to you. I wonder if that is part of why some people have such a hard time accepting it. A hard time believing you did that for us. 

Most of us question, at least at times, if we are truly lovable at all. To believe that you loved us so much you would sacrifice your life to save us, that is pretty crazy. But when we do believe it, when we get to live life with you in it, there is nothing better in the world. 

I may not be able to understand how you could love me that much to do what you did but I can believe it. I can celebrate it and you every day of my life. I love you Lord, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not easy for an ant to know the view of the eagle. But that does not mean that the view of the eagle is any more or less real than the view of the ant. Both have their place and their worth. An ant can see things on earth by virtue of his position, that the eagle cannot see. And vice versa, the eagle can see many things the ant cannot see. 

I came to earth to experience life as human to see what you see. And I died so you could be saved and see the world, life and eternity as I see it. 

I love you my child and will share the vision of what I see for as long as you want to look. 

A Christmas light...

 

My prayer:

We are getting really close to celebrating your birthday! I am very excited! I know this time is not so wonderful for everyone. I think that is really satan trying to steal our joy. He throws chaos. lies, and materialism at us and waits to see if it ruins our joy. 

My prayer this year God is for you to block all of those weapons that he is trying to use against your children. I pray that this year, your children are able to focus on the celebration and the joy of the birth of our savior who gave everything for us.

You are my everything Lord and I love you more than I can say.

What God Said Tonight:

A light in the darkness. That is truly a symbol of what the celebration of Christmas, of the Savior of the world is. It is the celebration of a light that came to the world in the middle of darkness. 

I have come to light up the world. To show the people that there is a life of joy and love and light that can be theirs, if they want it. As I shine my light on the world, look around. See what is possible. See what a world without darkness can be. If you want that as much as I do, follow me. Accept me. Tell yourself and the world that you belong to me. That is the first step and from there on, we can walk in the light together through eternity. 

I love you my child. You are a reflector of my light and I will be with you always. 

Every need met...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God, I have no idea what to pray tonight. Maybe tonight is more about listening than it is about talking?

What God Said Tonight:

Healing is yours. Salvation is  yours. They joy of the Lord is yours. Peace that goes beyond the ability to understand it, is yours. You have everything you need and more. 

In recognizing that, in recognizing my promises over your life, there is no need to worry or wonder because there is no need. I will fulfill all of your needs through my riches in glory. 

My promises are true. My promises are truth itself. Receive them and you will never need for anything again. I love you my daughter, now and forever.
