Surrender...

My prayer:

So many things whirling around in my head tonight God. Said a bittersweet good bye today. Bitter because they were in my life so briefly. Sweet because I know they are on the path that you have determined for them. It also seems like I am super sensitive to people who are hurting right now. That is good because I can ask them about it and pray with them. It is hard because when I realize how many people are really hurting, well, I hate it. So many things, two sides of one coin, good and bad. Makes life pretty confusing.

We are walking into what seems to be a super busy week God. I ask that your will and your timing be accomplished throughout the week. I pray for your supernatural energy to get it all done. I ask for your continued favor throughout the week. God, make me a blessing in the midst of it all. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

There is a common theme to your thoughts tonight my daughter. It is surrender. Surrender it all to me and you will not carry the burden any more. Surrender the people, the hurt, the problems to me. Surrender your schedule to me. Surrender you life to me and you will gain it. 

That is the thing about righteous surrender. When you surrender it all to me, it frees you to experience life with a joy and freedom that is unexplainable. I so want to take care of you, of all of my children. And I can, when you let me drive. 

I love you and I will not see you fail but if you want the fullness of the life I have for you, give up to me. Let go and I promise you will not regret it, ever.

Bless people, daily...

My prayer:

Another wonderful day God but in a totally different way. I think this has been my most favorite Thanksgiving weekend ever! Great to be able to be on the streets and blessing people today. We gave away SO MANY clothes! It was awesome. And everyone was open to prayer and to talking about you. Clearly you brought each person that you wanted to be there. 

Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Thank you for the amazing ministry team you brought together. Thank you for protecting us wherever we go. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

It is pretty easy to protect and provide for you when you are doing exactly what I have told you to do :). I know "obedience" has taken on all kinds of negative connotations; but, the fact is, there is protection and provision and purpose in obedience to my will. You will go farther than you ever thought you could and do more than ever knew that you would just by agreeing to do what I have planned for you. 

Today was wonderful. We were celebrating in heaven with the souls that were touched and saved. Find ways each day to bless people. It is a worthwhile way to spend your time. I love you.

Shalom...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for a wonderful day. I am here, blissfully relaxed and simply ready to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Finding your peace in me can be the most valuable thing you will ever learn. When you find your peace in me, you will never again be subject to that roller coaster existence that follows the circumstances and events that life brings. 

You know that you truly trust me when you can face your worst fear come true and remain calm and at peace. 

My peace, which passes all understanding seems so strange to people. It is not  a peace that is born of  logic or born of reaction. It is a peace that is born of love. Born of the love of the most High God. 

I bring you peace. From this place of peace, you can live a life of joy that is not dependent on your circumstances. It is a truly great way to live. Shalom my sweet girl.

Thanksgiving...

My prayer:

Awesome God. A wonderful Thanksgiving day God. I feel like I should say something profound about all the wonderful things you have done in my life, all of the wonderful experiences, all of the wonderful people; because I am grateful beyond words for all of it. But, it feels a little forced to do that just because it is Thanksgiving. Hopefully, I have gotten better and thanking you daily? 

The fact is that I am nothing without you. The fact is that my entire life, everything that is good in me is a direct result of you in my life. The fact is I live blessed and highly favored because of you. And, I am SO GRATEFUL for it all! 

Living this life is crazy hard sometimes and I can't imagine making it through without you. So, on this Thanksgiving, even though it is expected know that it is genuine, I say Thank YOU! :)

What God Said Tonight:

Thanksgiving is a key. You know how I say "Enter my gates with thanksgiving?" That isn't just a suggestion. Being thankful, being grateful, will open doors in your life. 

When you are thankful, you are given more opportunities than when you are not. People and opportunities who were closed off to you become open to you with a heart of thanksgiving. 

Then, you get a place at the table with praise. You enter my courts with praise. Praise gives you the purpose for being there. Praise creates an atmosphere,

I love you daughter. Be thankful at all times and you will find that life opens up to you.

Money...

My prayer:

Too tired to think tonight God. It was a wonderful day though. Your blessing and favor are so amazing. I had people giving me free things all day for no reason...well, you are the reason. I love you God and want to use every last bit of energy I have on hearing your voice.

What God Said Today:

You are welcome for the gifts today my daughter. 

I think you are beginning to sense that this is a season for you to share all that I have taught you about Kingdom finances and how I see your provision. I will give you more and more opportunities to teach and to demonstrate my blessing and favor. 

You have more to learn too. But in your learning you will teach. A time has come that my people need to have the finances to weather the storms. Money is not everything but it is a reality for now. 

I will make sure my children have what they need but they need to understand the laws, the principles around how money works with me. Don't be afraid to share what I have taught you. You will bless more people than you can imagine. 

Free...

My prayer:

Amazing God. You are so incredible. The changes you have made in me are so amazing. Your power to change things, people, circumstances is truly remarkable. Nothing is impossible and there is never any reason to be hopeless as long as we have you in our lives. No matter what it looks like, there is always a way for it to turn out good with you in the mix. I LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have come to set my people free. Once and for all. My people will no longer live in bondage of any thing. 

Tonight, right now, I am setting you free. You are free to be everything that you were intended to be. You are free to live the life I had planned for you. No circumstance, no pain, no sin, can get in the way because you are redeemed in me and I have set you free. 

Do not get fooled into thinking you are still in bondage. Don't be like the animal that is so accustomed to being caged that he doesn't even push on the door to try to get out. You are free. No bars can hold you. You are free!

Missing U...

My prayer:

I am missing some old friends tonight God. I understand that sometimes people are in our lives for a season, sometimes a lifetime and sometimes only a moment. But, every once in awhile, I find myself missing the ones that have moved on. You have filled my life with such amazing people over the years. They leave a hole when they are gone. Feeling those holes tonight God. Fill my holes?

What God Said Tonight:

I could tell you again why people come and why people go in your life but that is not what you need tonight. 

Instead, I am gong to wrap my arms around you and let you feel my love. I am going to let you feel the love that never fails. I am going to keep you surrounded by the true love of your father and your creator. 

I am going show you how my love will sustain you no matter what you face. My love is enough. I will fill the holes and I will comfort the pain. I will bring new people and new excitement to each day. 

And, I am still taking care of those that you miss. No one is ever absent from my love and my care. 

Now, relax in my love. lie back and let me love you tonight. My  love will heal. My love will comfort. My love will conquer all.
