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.

Another chance....

My prayer:
Well, today wasn't anything like I thought it would be. I really could have died today God. Thank you for protecting me.  Thank you for pulling me out of the undertow of the surf. Thank you for arranging it so Mom didn't go in with me. If she had been there, I would have been too worried about getting her out and we both would have drowned.  Your ocean is beautiful but powerful.  Kind of like you! 


It is kind of weird God. I know that I was in real danger today and yet, I wasn't afraid and just now in reviewing the day, I almost forgot that it had happened! Is there something wrong with me? Do I not value life enough? Maybe but I don't think that is it.  I think that I am so ready to live with you in heaven that whenever you want me there, I am ready to go.  I hate to lose other people to death, mainly for the selfish reason that I miss them. But when it comes to me, I know where I am headed and so, if you want me to live another one hundred years, great! If you want to bring me home tonight, great! 


I love you God and any day with you is a good day.  Thank you for being with me today and every day!


What God Said Tonight:
Too much emphasis is put on life and death. For you, there is no death.  There is no end.  You will live with me forever, period.  I have more for you to do where you are and as long as that is true, I will keep you safe and whole and make sure you have everything you need to do everything I have asked you to do.  When it is done, your day to day experience will change but you will still be living with and for me.  Your core, what you value and your purpose will never change.  These are eternal. 


Nothing really ever dies.  Everything and everyone will either live an eternity with me of will live without me.  You know that one day, those who live without me will come to an end.  There will be a final death for them. I will weep, I am already weeping for them.  If there were another way, I would do it.  If there were a way to........ but it doesn't work that way.  


I am sorry for the pause in thought there, sometimes the terror and sadness overwhelm even me.  That will be a truly bad day, when they come to their end.  I can't let one person who is meant to be with me end up there.  That is why I am waiting. That is why so many things that you have been waiting for haven't happened.  I have to give them one more chance.  Just one more.  I promise I won't wait one moment longer than I have to but they have to have another chance.  


I love you  daughter and I am always with you.  I will always protect you.  Your life is safe in my hands.  Rest tonight.

I love being with you...

My prayer:
Mighty and incredible God who has everything under control.  What a day of favor and blessing again! On time flights, room to spread out on the flights, everything so smooth, a beautiful place with a beautiful beach and nothing but time to relax and enjoy it. 


I continue to be amazed by how good you are to me. You spoil me, but don't stop! I have become accustomed to your favor on my life. Not that I have become complacent about it.  I am eternally grateful. But I am not sure I could go back to living without it.  I know I don't want to. Life is way too good with your favor. I don't ever want to live outside of your favor again. 


Maybe that makes me greedy?  It isn't that I want it and I don't want anyone else to have it.  I want EVERYONE to live with your crazy favor on their lives. How wonderful would this world be if we all will living with your favor pouring out over our lives? Would it be too much for us? Would we abuse it? Would we get complacent?  If the norm was to have your crazy favor on our lives, would we just expect even more? 


Maybe that is why we go through seasons of blessing and seasons of growth or testing? I don't know, I am just kind of babbling now God.  I am so relaxed and grateful to you. I could probably keep going all night.  But that would be awfully boring.


What is on your mind? That is the good stuff!  LOVE YOU SO MUCH GOD!!!


What God Said Tonight:  
Sweet daughter, don't you know by now that I love to listen to you.  You are never boring to me.  I love that you take time for me everyday. It seems like a small thing but so many struggle.  


I ache for more time with you.  I want to spend every moment with you.  I want to share everything with you.  I love to bless you. I love even more to be with you and be a part of  what you are doing.  I love being there when you laugh and I love being there to catch your tears.  I love to be there when you are struggling to keep a cap on that temper.  I love being there when you see great success.  I love being there when you are dancing and I love being there when you rest.  


Do you sense a theme here? No matter where you are and what you are doing, I love being with you.  Don't shut me out.  That hurts more than you can know. Whether it is in your joy or in your pain, don't shut me out.  I will never force myself in your life but I am always on the edge of my seat ready to jump at the chance to be with you. It means that much to me. I love you to pieces and these next several days are just for you.

I am here...

My prayer:
Awesome God, thank you for peace. Thank you for rest.  Thank you God for always being there to let me know that it is going to be all right and that you are in charge.  I love you God. 


I have a lot of people that are weighing heavy on my heart tonight.  People who are having a hard time feeling your love.  People who are having a hard time understanding you and your will for their lives.  People who are having a hard time seeing you working in your life and people who are so busy fighting the truth that they know is true but is too hard for them to live.  Living that truth means they have to give things up and they don't want to.  They can't see that what they gain is always more and better than what they give up.  


Awesome God, I give each of these people to you and I pray that you help them.  I pray that you flood them with you love, make your will obvious, open their eyes to the purpose and plan that you are working out in their life.  Help them God to see the truth and that your truth is better than anything else. God, these are truly great people and they need your help.  


You tell us you are our ever present help.  You tell us you will never leave us.  You tell us that you love us, that you have a purpose and plan for our lives.  You tell us that you will guide us always.  God I pray that all of those promises be active and present in their lives.  


I love you so much God.  Thank you for your promises.  Thank you for your grace and your mercy.  Thank you for your forgiveness.  And, thank you for being big enough to handle ANY problem.


What God Said Tonight:
What peace I have is yours.  The peace of knowing that the all powerful, all knowing creator of the universe is on your side and is working everything out perfectly for you.  The peace to know that no matter where you are, what you have done, what you will do in the future, I am right there waiting for you to call on me.  


I am here when you don't feel me.  I am here even when you don't know me.  I am ever present.  I am always here.  I am always on alert waiting for you to call on me, to ask me to help.  I am here.  


When someone is blind and standing next to a tree, they can't see the tree and they do not know the tree is there until they run into it.  But just because they don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.  The reality of my presence does not require that you recognize it.  I am here whether you know it or believe it or not.  I am here.  If you search for me, you will bump into me.  Then you will know for sure.  But your knowing it doesn't make it more true.  


I am. 


I love you daughter.  Rest knowing that I have heard you and I will help.  Rest knowing that their hearts are more precious to me than you can imagine.  I am here for you always.

Perfect...

My prayer:
Awesome and amazing God. Today was rough. I was my own worst enemy all day. My attitude was out of whack. I didn't turn to you like I should have. I didn't really pray before things like I should have. Because of all of that, today was so much tougher than it needed to be.  


God, forgive me of getting most everything wrong today.  Forgive me for not doing the right that you have taught me and letting myself fall into old and destructive habits.  Forgive me for allowing myself to get offended.  Forgive me for not being the woman of God you have made me.


Father, please help me to do better tomorrow.  Help me to be the person you have made me to be. Help me to be a better example of who you are. In Jesus name I ask, amen.


What God Said Tonight:
Watch that you don't get lost in the guilt and self judgement.  You did not do your best today.  That is true.  You will do better tomorrow.  That is true.  You are forgiven tonight.  That is true.  Now, let's move on.  You are kind of tied up in a circle right now and it is time to break out of it and move on.  


I love you daughter. You are so very precious to me. You are my rubies and you are my gold.  You are worth more to me than all wealth of the world.  You are worth more to me than I can express. You are perfect in my sight, covered in the blood of your sacrifice.  Don't forget how wonderful I have made you.  


Don't get lost in this "setback." Move forward now and don't waste a minute more.  Rest knowing that I love you and you are perfect to me tonight.

Love band-aid...

My prayer:
Kind, loving, and precious God. You are so very sweet. You are also tough and all powerful but you are so sweet. Sometimes the gentle presence of you is almost more than I can bear. Your presence and your love is so completely beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes. 


I know I don't deserve it. I know i don't deserve you, but, that just makes it all more precious and more beautiful. God there is nothing like your presence.  There is nothing like your love.  I am in total awe of you.  


I hope you don't get tired of me telling you how great you are. I want more words to tell you, I want more talent to show you, I want you to hear my heart crying out my complete love for you! 


God your presence is like a warm blanket tonight.  I feel you wrapped around me.  It is warm and kind of tingly.  The physical presence of you in my life is more miraculous than I can describe.  


Holy Spirit, when you touch my spirit and my heart, I explode with pure joy. Jesus, when we hang out and talk about what it is like to be human, I know that I have a friend that will never turn his back on me.  Father, when I feel your covering, like I do tonight, I know that there is nothing that ever can truly harm me.  I know that you will protect me throughout eternity.  I know that I am safe in your presence.  


Thank you precious God for being everything I need.  I love you with everything that I am.


What God Said Tonight:
I love you and I am so glad that you know it.  You haven't always known.  You haven't always trusted that love.  I am so glad that we are finally at a point where you can begin to understand the love that I have for you.  


There is power in love.  There is healing in love.  There is truth in love. Love is patient, kind, never jealous and always giving.  


I love you with a purity that you cannot know outside of me.  I love you with a passion and a power that you cannot receive from anyone else.  I have a capacity for love that is not possible outside of me.  To know this great love, to experience this complete love, to have this true love in your life, you have to know me.  


I sometimes find it hard to believe that some people don't want my love.  Some people want it but are afraid it is not true.  Some people want it but think they don't deserve it.  But some people have been so hurt and torn to pieces that they truly don't want my love. 


Please remember that every person you meet has been hurt.  In one way or another, to one degree or another, every person you meet has been hurt.  Don't add to the hurt. Love them anyway. The smallest gesture of love can heal years of pain.  The smallest patch of love can provide the the opening I need to show them pure, healing, and powerful love.  Let your love be the band-aid that allows the wound to heal enough to let me in. 


I love you my sweet band-aid.  You are so very precious to me.  I will love you forever. I will protect you forever.  I will be your friend forever.  I will, forever.

What do you want...

My prayer:
Awesome, powerful God. Thank you for all that you are and all that you did today. 


Thank you again for protecting M and her family from the tornado! What a beautiful miracle that was God!! You lifted that tornado up off the ground and over their car keeping them safe...whoa! You are truly awesome God and life with you is so much better than life without you ever was.  


I love you God and I better turn things over to you before I fall asleep in this chair. I love to hear you God.


What God Said Tonight:
What do you need daughter? You haven't asked me for much in a long time.  You have not because you ask not.  Those are my words that you often use in jest but they are true none the less. 


What do you want daughter? What do you need? I hear your requests for everyone else but what about you? Don't forget to ask me for you sometimes.  I love that you so often come just to talk and spend time with me. I love that, but bring me your worries and your needs too.  Don't expect that I already know them.  I do, but there is power and activation through prayer.  Your prayer makes it possible for me to act in a situation. Your prayer opens the door.  Your prayer reaches into heaven and creates a tunnel that I can act through to change the circumstance.  


It is not always you that needs to be changed, sometimes it is the circumstance.  Pray to me about the circumstance and create an avenue for me to act.  


I love you so much. This is the beginning of a new journey together but this one we will have more help than we have ever had before. So many helping hands you will be amazed.  Go and rest now.

The mixing process...

My prayer:
Awesome and amazing God who saved me, loves me, guides me. God, twice in the last three days I have had people tell me there is no evidence that you exist.  Funny thing, I haven't even felt the need to argue.  It would be like trying to convince someone that my mom exists. All I have told them is that I know you exist because of my relationship with you.  I know you exist because I know you.  I know you exist because my life is radically changed with you in it. And that is it really.  You are because you are.  


Does that mean my life is perfect?  Does that mean I am perfect? NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOO! But it means that I know you are perfect.  It means that I know you are working out everything in my life.  It means that I have a hope for a future.  I have hope that tomorrow, every tomorrow, can and will be better than today.


God, thank you for hope. Thank you for "proving" to me how real you are.  God I pray that you continue to show people just how real you are so they can get on board before it is too late.  I love you so much God.  Thank you for expaining things to me today.  Thank you for being my everything.


What God Said Tonight:
Wait until you see tomorrow!  All of the things that worried you today, all of the things that seemed so wrong today, are mixing together for something so amazing you will not believe it.  


The mixing process is messy.  It's like when you bake a cake, well, when someone bakes a cake.  The messiest part is the mixing.  If you do it too fast, you can splatter the batter all over the place and ruin it.  If you mix it too slow, you will not get the right consistency and you will ruin it.  But done carefully at the right speed for the right amount of time and you have perfect batter that once it is put through the fire, makes a delicious cake.  


We are baking a cake in your life and right now, we are in the mixing period.  It doesn't look like much right now but wait for it all to come together.  Next is the season of the fire.  That is where it all is changed from a goopy mess to something beautiful. 


This cake is worth it even though it doesn't look like it now.  Be patient in the process and you will see great things.  I love you so much daughter. Stick in there with me and we will see a new victory.  I love you and I am with you always.  Let's go at this next week together.  There is a lot more to do, but I will be with you.  Rest now daughter and you will be ready.
