God's eternal presence...

My prayer:

Soaking in your presence tonight God and it is so good! Through the good times and the bad, through the favor and the struggle, your presence is always amazing. 

God, it is my most fervent prayer that I NEVER have to experience a time where I cannot be in your presence. You have said that there is nothing that can ever separate us and and I count on that God. I need your presence more than I need air.  

I don't really need to talk tonight. Just want to be with you. Happy as always to listen though...

What God Said Tonight:

My presence is in you, around you, a part of you. You can never be without my presence because it resides in  you. You are my temple and you are where I dwell. I am in you and you are in me and we are inseparable. 

My covenant with you is that I will never leave you. My covenant with you is that I will always take care of you. My covenant with you is that I will always save and redeem you. My covenant with you is forever. 

I have waited a very long time for this time with you. And now, we are here and you do not have to worry, now that I have found you, I will never let you go. 

You and me forever, remember?

Peace...

My prayer:

FRIDAY!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!! We made it!! It was a wonderful and exhausting week and I am grateful to be here with you at the end of it. Thank you for your wisdom and discernment that you have given me this week. I think you helped a lot of people. 

I am crazy in love with you God. Everything about you. Most of all, I love simply being with you. Which is good since I get to be with you forever. Let me hear you tonight God. Tell me what is on your mind or what I need to know tonight. 

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I bring you peace. I bring you peace in the storm and I bring you peace when it is done. I bring you the peace that knows that my love will always prevail. I give you the peace that is recognized by the spirit in you as being truth. 

I bring you the peace you need to see clearly and make good decisions. Much of making good decisions is having the peace to be able to think clearly. I give you that peace tonight. 

I give you peace that does not make sense. I give you peace that you can bring it wherever you go. You are my catalyst for peace. Take my peace with you no matter where you go. There is going to be so much more battling, contention, and viciousness, in the physical and spiritual realms in the coming days. I need you to be strong and be at peace as it comes. 

You are my army and I love you. I will take care of you always,

Perception of waiting...

My prayer:

Another wonderful day God. I am LOVING this season you have me in!! Can't wait to see what is next. 

You know that I am believing for some really big things right now. You know that I am in agreement with more than two others on these big things. You have given us the vision, you have heard our prayer of agreement, it is all in your hands God. Once realized, this could do SO MUCH for your Kingdom God...which of course you know because it all came from you in the first place.

If there is anything more we should be doing, tell us, our answer is yes. In the meantime, I will try to wait with hope. 

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I don't make you wait for no reason. I know you hate the waiting part but you are slowly getting better at it. 

There is always a purpose in the waiting. Sometimes that purpose is related to you, sometimes to someone else, sometimes, to the situation, but there is always a reason. And, once the promise is fulfilled, the waiting never seems so bad. Looking back, waiting never seems as hard or as horrible as it does while you are waiting, right? So, that means that the struggle of waiting is more a perception than a reality. 

Try to think of waiting as a time of excitement. Enjoy the anticipation. Imagining what something will be like is often more fun than actually experiencing it so enjoy imagining it. Enjoy the tingly anticipation feeling of something just about to happen. 

If you can think of waiting as a fun/good time, you will have an easier time of it. And truth is, as long as you are in this world, you will always be waiting on something, so you might as well enjoy it. 

Love you!

Opposition...

My prayer:

What a great day God! You gave me good news, followed by good news, followed by some more good news, then capped it all off with some great news! I am loving watching you do your thing and take care of everything. I love that I get to be a part of it. You are amazing and I get to ride the wave of your awesomeness. LOVE IT AND LOVE YOU! Thank you for listening when I need you, which is all the time. 

What God Said Tonight:

We are in a time where darkness is working very hard to take over. I will be your light in the darkness. We are living in a time where adversity is more common than peace. I will be your peace in adversity. 

This is a season that will try to take you out but I will be there to oppose everything that opposes you. I will fight your battle and I will see you victorious. 

I love you and I will not fail you.

The God of right now...

My prayer:

Wow! You were busy today God! Thank you for showing up and taking care of so much adversity in your kids' lives today. It was one praise report after another. You provided, you healed, you directed, you loved...I guess you were just being you, but I am so grateful that you did all that you did.

You also provided a new potential opportunity in my life today God. Part of me is excited about it and part is a bit scared. I ask that you lead and guide me in this. If this is not your plan for me, please shut the door. If it is, please fling the door wide open. I will follow you anywhere God.

What God Said Tonight:

I am. I am everything that you need and I am. Not I was and not I will be, but I am. Always. I am. 

I am the God of right now. I am here for you right now. I will show up in your life right now and take care of what you need now. Yes, I am the beginning and the end and I know the end from the beginning I am omnipresent and therefore I am in all places at all times. But for you, what you need to know is I am God now. 

I have promises on your life and they are for right now. I have opportunities for you and they are for right now. Not next year, not in five years, not when you come to heaven. but right now. 

Do I have plans for you down the road? Of course. But right now, I want you to focus on what I have for you now in this time, in this season for what we are doing now. I will worry about the rest. I will take care of it, 

Your job is to live, now, with me. Leave all of the rest up to me. 

Your purpose...

My prayer:

Lord God, I have been praying for everyone else all night and I am out of words. Probably good. Your words are always better than mine. How about I listen instead of talk tonight? Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

My agenda is your agenda my daughter. I want the same things you want. We are connected at the spirit and our hearts, our will is aligned. 

When you want to know what I want for you, look deep into yourself and you will see my will in your life. I have planted it within you as a seed. I planted it there long before you were born. Your purpose predates your existence. Your purpose was created out of a need. You were created to fulfill that purpose and to be loved by me. 

You are what I hoped for and now, you are here, living this life out with me, struggling some but often triumphant. I am so proud of you. Understand that. 

Adversity as opportunity...

My prayer:

Amazing God. The attacks and the battles have been almost constant this week for me and for so many people that I love. But, every time, every situation, you have shown up and taken care of it. You have protected, you have provided, you have loved, you have found a way when we could not see a way. 

So, I get to make a choice. I can either be angry, worried, afraid by the attacks. Or, I can rejoice in the multitude of opportunities that he enemy has provided for you to show how wonderful you are. When I look at it like that, not only do I get to focus on all the good that you did, but I get to see how it all backfired against the enemy. And, I have to admit, I get a little joy out of that. What the enemy intended for evil, you turn to our good. Ha! So there devil, in your face!

I love you like crazy God and have never been more grateful for you in my life than I am right now. 

What God Said Tonight:

You are catching on to a principle, that if you really get it, will change your life forever. It will change your life for good. 

Once you truly start to see adversity as opportunity, once you see every problem as one more chance to show the world my glory, you will not dread the trouble of tomorrow. You will not worry about the next battle. You will not fear. 

There is nothing in this life that I am not big enough to handle and there is nothing that I won't do to care for my children. I love you and I will bless you when circumstances are positive and I will bless you when everything is coming against you. I will do it out of my never ending love for you. Now and forever.
