Servant daughter

My prayer:
Holy Father. How are you tonight? I am tired, but in a good way. Today was great, again. I am so blessed to be able to just take time every once in awhile and relax, enjoy family, friends and this world you made us! Not everyone gets to do that. Thank you for providing for all of my needs God and a lot of my "wants." You are such a generous God. Always giving, always providing and asking so very little of me.

God I pray over services tomorrow where we get together to worship you and encourage each other. I pray that your will is accomplished in every service across the world. I pray for divine surprises tomorrow God. I pray that every last person that is meant to come together in your name is drawn or just plain invited to the service that will speak to their heart right where they are.

I ask God that as we better understand who you are, that you help us better understand who we are and how we can live this life for you. I pray that you give us the practical tools and strategies to live the life you have determined can be ours. I pray God that you guide me to where and how I should serve tomorrow. Help me to see the needs and fill the needs as they arise. Help me to have the strength, the anointing and/or the knowledge to help wherever you need me. I remain yours and at your service God.

What God said tonight:
You are my servant daughter. It hasn't always been that way, remember? Remember the days when you thought it was a pretty lousy scheme for the church to get free labor? Not so long ago really. But now, you are my true servant who I can trust to do whatever I need at any given moment. I don't trust lightly but you are prepared and in a position to do some things I need done.

Thank you for being my hands and feet. I need you and love you. Listen carefully to me tomorrow and every day that you can be in the right place, at the right time and with the right person to accomplish what I need to happen right now. Listen and hear my guiding voice.

You know that I will bless you in return. You know that I will bless and keep you all the days of your life. You are my precious daughter and all that I have is yours. I am thankful that you want to work with me to accomplish what needs to happen on this earth in this time. I need those workers. I need those people willing to put my needs before theirs, at least once in a awhile. You will be surprised at what we can accomplish with what seems like very little.

Go, sleep, rest, let me worry about tomorrow. It will be waiting for you.

I gave you the world...

My prayer:
Awesome Lord. Thank you for a fantastic day. Thank you for this amazing world you made. The mountains, the animals, the sky, the flowers and all of it is so beautiful. Thank you for family and friends. Thank you for fun and relaxation, for baseball and rodeos. God I am just so grateful for all that you have given me. Thank you for a couple of days to spend in your beautiful mountains.

I love you God and I love what you have made. You are such and incredible creator. You didn't have to make things so beautiful but you did. I pray God that you forgive us for when we don't take very good care of it. You gave us this amazing gift of the world and our lives in it and sometimes I take it for granted. Other times I simply abuse it out of laziness. I love you Lord God creator of everything. You are so amazing.

What God said tonight:
Sweet daughter, I love you. You are so precious to me. It is good to spend the days with you and the nights watching over you. You are carved in the palm of my hand and I will never leave you.

The creation of this world was for you. For you and your brothers and sisters. I love that you take time to appreciate it. It is so good. The earth, the sky the plants the animals all working together in a intricate pattern that is so complex and yet so simple.

I do need you to take care of it better. I told Adam to tend the garden, to take care of everything I created and the same is true today for you. I need you to take care of what I made for you. Treat it with the respect you would treat any precious gift.

When someone gives you something of great value that is meaningful to you, you protect it, take care of it, sometimes even insure it. Treat my gifts with the same level of attention and respect. Protect this world, care for it and do things that insure its future. It is here for you to enjoy and is yours to take care of or to lose. I love you so much, I gave you the world. Sleep well daughter and lets have another great day tomorrow!

Time to celebrate...

My prayer:
Mighty God. You really can turn it all around so quickly. What an amazing day! Thank you for your favor, for great friends, for great new ideas...You are so amazing and incredible and I am just basking in your glory tonight God.

I am so at peace and so completely satisfied in you tonight God. I love you so much. I worship you. You and all that you do continue to amaze me, astonish me and fill me with a joy that cannot be contained. Life with you is so GOOD! Even in the hard times, One day of hard times with you is so much better than a lifetime of the best times without you. You make this all worth it God! And, then, you just start popping out blessings on me out of no where! I love your surprises God! Thank you God!!!

What God said tonight:
It is time to celebrate again! Every season of struggle and hardship is followed with a season of thanksgiving and celebration. It is just the way it is. You are in your season of blessing and how you got here is simple. During the hard time, you gave it all up to me, you didn't hold back. That let me heal and restore you.

Remember this time for the next season of struggle. It will come and if you remember how we dealt with it this time, you will be a step up next time. I gave you a brain to learn with. Don't stop learning or thinking just because you are trusting me. Trust in me with all of you, your mind, your soul and your body.

Your heart is mine and I am so in love with you it is crazy. We will never be apart and every storm and every celebration is ours together. Every accomplishment and every failure is ours together. Remember me at all times so you never feel abandoned. I am with you always. Let's continue to celebrate! It is a season of growth and new ideas and birthing of dreams. Your dreams and others' dreams.

It is time to walk into the purpose you have been prepared for. There is no need to wait any longer. Your time is here. Come rest in me and be my bride. We have much left to do, but plenty of time to do it. You are my precious daughter and in you I am well pleased. You are covered by my son and through his sacrifice, I get to love on you and you on me without restriction. Receive all that I have for you. Don't hold back. I love you more than anyone has loved before. You are mine.

The purpose of life...

My prayer:
Incredible God, you are incredible! What a great small group again tonight. What amazing insights you gave us! What amazing insight you gave me God! I love this idea of combining what you have gifted me with and taught me about effective training together with ministry. I can so clearly see the type of active interaction that we had at the presentation last week, in a "church" type setting where we are training people how to live for you. Not preaching, but that interactive, polling, hands on exercise type of training that leaves people with new skill sets. This could be huge God! I LOVE IT and LOVE YOU for showing me!

I am excited about this one God! Keep showing me the details and show me the next step. I think this could be really powerful and important for your kingdom and you know I would love doing it. Wow, very cool God!

You are so incredible. You were right last night. I closed a door on thinking about "training" combined with ministry because it wasn't working out when I went the traditional route. But with this idea, let's open that door back up God! I am ready to jump in!!

Love you!!!

What God said tonight:
You make me smile. I love seeing you so enthusiastic. Thanks for paying attention.

This is a great time to begin new things. This is a great time to follow your passion. Your preparation has been long, or has seemed long to you, but it is worth it.

Can I tell you something? It's not hard to understand and walk in your purpose. It is actually the easiest thing in the world. You were made for it. What is hard is getting over the fear, getting over the fears. Fear of failure and fear of success. When you bust through that and step out into your purpose, it all comes together. I will never let you fall. I am your safety net and you can rely on me to always have your back.

The question tonight of, "If you knew that God would prosper you no matter what you chose to do, what would you attempt?" That is a really important question. When you get the answer, run with it because I have promised you that I will prosper you. I put dreams in you for a purpose greater than just seeing you fulfilled, although I love seeing you fulfilled. Your dreams are there for others and for what they can accomplish for others. You will live out your purpose so others can discover theirs. It is an ongoing chain. Everyone who discovers and lives out their purpose will do so in order that others will discover and live out their purpose and so on and so on. It is the point of this life.

Each path is different. There is a lot to do and I need people working and helping in so many areas. But the common thread is that it is all ordained and planned by me to work together for the good of those who love me and are called according to my purpose. When it is all working together, when you are all working together, it is an amazing tapestry that can move mountains.

I love you daughter. Maintain this enthusiasm. I will give you next steps. It will seem so simple and easy you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner, but now is the right time. I love you, did I mention that already? Probably, but I love you still. Sleep and rest for tomorrow, if you can!

Content...

My prayer:
Lord God of all creation. Father, teacher and saviour. Redeemer kinsman and healer. God you are so many things and I have only begun to understand you. It would take an eternity to truly comprehend all that you are. Luckily, we have and eternity together!

I love you God. Thank you for your patience with me. Thank you for always encouraging me. Thank you for understanding exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. I love you God and that love is enough. I am content in you. I rest in the love and promise that you are. I am confident that you will accomplish every last thing that you have planned in my life.

God I am your servant and happy to be serving you. Thank you for opportunities to serve. God, thank you for bringing one of my bosses to me today asking for prayer for her brother. You have already heard that prayer God and I thank you in advance for the praise report. What an honor that instead of getting in trouble at work for being so open about my love for you and my faith, one of my bosses actually comes to me for prayer! That is your favor!

Mighty God, we really are your church. Not the place we go on Sunday (or Saturday or Wednesday) but we, ourselves, are your living and active church. Very cool. I love you Father. What is on your mind tonight?

What God said tonight:
It is here and now. The time is here and now. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will always be there but right here and right now, there is a preciousness to this moment. It will never come again and is gone before we know it. Each moment is precious. Cherish each moment for the gift that it is. I know it doesn't always feel like a gift or at least it doesn't always feel like a good gift, but it is. Let's just rest and enjoy this moment together.

I miss you when you are all tied up in your issue or problem. It makes it hard for you to see or hear me sometimes. It is better when you are at peace and content. Then I don't have to shout but can relax with you and talk.

It was a great day in the kingdom. Lots of people made the decision to live with me forever and we are rejoicing and partying in heaven tonight. We are so overjoyed! There is nothing better than when one of my kids come home.

You are not as stressed, angry and confused as you have been. Thank you for letting go and trusting me. You won't regret it. I love you like sunshine. You are bright reflection of me and I thank you for shining wherever you go. I will always protect you. I will always make sure that when you are standing up for me, I will stand up for you.

Funny, I don't really want to talk more tonight, I just want to be with you. Can we just sit for awhile and be in each other's presence? Can we just be content to know we are together and nothing will ever change that. Rest your head girl and know that I am God and love you more than you can ever understand. Let my love wash over you tonight and abide with me. Live with me. Love me. And I will love and live with you. Receive the blessing of me tonight. Let it fall from heaven and cover you from head to toe.

I love you so much and want so much for you. Will you receive it? There are opportunities that I am trying to bring you right now but you not paying proper attention. I will prosper and direct you but follow my lead. Love, love, love you. Think about the closed doors in your life and ask, did I close them or did you? If it was you, feel free to open them back up if you want to. It is all up to you. Peace my daughter, rest well.

Disappointment...

My prayer:
Mighty God, awesome father, Lord of all creation, thank you for today. I praise you tonight out of a choice to do so, not in response to the day. Not in response to my emotions. My emotions are disappointment and confusion. I feel kind of numb not knowing what to think. But, I choose to trust you. I choose to love you. I choose you God as Lord of my life.

I believe that you have a great future for me. I believe that you will move in my life and change the circumstances on your time table. I am speaking this out of faith, choosing to do so. I don't feel it right now, but I know what you have said and I am making my choice. I refuse to let discouragement win. I refuse to give up on the dreams you have placed in my heart. I refuse to give up on the vision you gave me. I refuse to quit.

Thank you God for the determination to continue. Thank you for guiding me. Thank you for your continual encouragement to let me know that it is all worth it. Thank you for every opportunity to serve you and your people. I love you God and always will.

What God said tonight:
I love you back daughter. Your here for a purpose. Even in the disappointment, there is so much to be learned. You will come out of this on the other side with a new appreciation, a new ability, a needed strength that you will be able to share with others. You will be able to help others push through their disappointments.

Disappointments come to everyone. Delayed is not denied you know. Will you trust me when it doesn't happen when and how you expect it to? You have made a choice to do so tonight. Stick with that choice, it is the right one.

Regardless of how things look, I am still on your side. I am still your father. I am still your provider and you still have first son inheritance rights. You will walk into my promises. Timing is so important to you, but it really doesn't matter to me. I am in charge of time. I created the world in six days! I can do more in one second than you can do in a lifetime.

Tomorrow is not today. I will continue to work the plan for your life. You will continue on the path I have chosen for you, you are destined for great things. Continue to trust me girl. I know you are "speaking in faith" tonight. Let me make that faith become realized truth. I promise you will not regret your decision tonight and you will never regret trusting me. You are in my hands and I will not let you fall. Trust, for one more day, trust.

I know that you are still not feeling it. You are still feeling numb. That is because you have shut down a bit trying to protect yourself from being hurt. Normal reaction, but it isn't doing you any good. Let it out and let me heal you. Your decision is sound tonight but let me heal your heart.

You are so precious to me and it hurts me to see you hurt. But I can't help you unless you allow me to do it. Allow me into your heart to heal the disappointment. I am not like the ones who have let you down. This apparent disappointment is nothing more than a stepping stone to your next level. You are where you need to be.

Let me heal you right where you are. Let me wrap myself around your heart and heal you. Will you let me in? I promise I will be gentle but let me heal your heart tonight. Remember and rest knowing that my love for you is boundless. You will never reach the end of it. You will always be surrounded and in the midst of it. You were created so I could love you and you could love me. It is your primary purpose and you are getting better at it every day. Rest now. The morning will bring new joy with it.

God or the pizza...

My prayer:
Ok, God, I wasn't going to put this on the blog but when I started to talk to you about it, I felt like you said don't pull any punches on the blog. So, here I am and I am frustrated and angry tonight. I am trying to have a better attitude, but fact is, I believe you told me some things that were going to happen by a certain time and unless it happens in the next 12 hours, which it could, it isn't happening.

This happened once before when I believed you gave me a very specific word on something to happen by a certain time and it didn't. It was a huge blow to my faith. Not my faith in you really but in my faith in my ability to accurately hear from you. That is the thing that is really bothering me. Yes, I want what you said I could have but more so, I want to be sure I am hearing you accurately, especially since we are sharing this with so many people now. Now, if I don't hear you correctly, it doesn't just effect me.

So, I guess I am also a little scared. I need to understand this better. I need to know, did I hear you wrong. As Pastor Mark says, "Sometimes it's God and sometimes it's the pizza." So, was it the pizza? Was it just that I wanted this so much that my own desire for it made me think that it was you? Or, is it going to happen between now and 9AM tomorrow? Or, is it still going to happen but I got the timing wrong? I need some help on this one.

I thank you that you are all knowing. I recognize that you are not a man that you would lie. I believe that your word is truth. I believe that you are my saviour, Lord and God and that you provide everything that I need. Right now I need wisdom and understanding. In your word you have said if we lack wisdom we should ask and you will give it to us. So, I am asking God, give me wisdom.

What God said tonight:
Isn't it funny that after all of this time, after all we have been through, after all that I have shown you, you still doubt? I don't mean that as a criticism, it is just a common truth. There is something in people, in my children that no matter how amazing our time together is, something will always come to give you doubt.

Do you remember Elijah? Mighty prophet. He and I did some really amazing things together and yet you know that he would fall into deep depression and ask me to kill him.

No matter how much you see, how much you experience, you always need more. Ok, so here is the more, whether this thing happens tonight or not, am I still Lord of your life? Whether it happens or not, will you change how you see me and interact with me? Will it change our relationship? Will you trust me less? You may be more careful about discerning my voice, but is that a bad thing? No, it's a good thing because it brings you closer to me.

This thing that you want, it's here. You don't see it but it's here. You will look back on this time and laugh one day. It will all make sense in hindsight. Remember I told you that a time was coming that it would seem like it was all falling apart and that you would have to trust me in that time? Well, that time is here. You must trust me or you will drive yourself crazy.

Get back to that place of rest and trust and peace. Anything else is just going to make you crazy. I WILL GUIDE YOU ALWAYS. You have that on a big picture in your office, you look at it every day but I will also remind you if I need to.

I love you so much. Get this stuff off of your chest so we can deal with it. Don't ever let it build up. We can't afford to have anger, resentment, fear between us. We have to remain in continual covenant relationship, trusting and relying on each other to accomplish what comes next. Don't take this as criticism my daughter, but take it in the love and overwhelming care that I have for you. Tomorrow, in and of itself doesn't matter. What you do with it does.
