God is excited...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the gift of music. Thank you for the gift of amazing people. Thank you for your gift of patience and mercy. Thank you for your gift of healing. Thank you God for sustaining me through the tough times and the tough days. Thank you for reminding me that it won't always be this tough and that you have great plans for me. 

Ending this week in gratefulness. Not so much grateful for the week but entirely grateful for you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am excited! I can see what is next! I know where we are going! And that is exciting! 

We are going into to times and places and opportunities that will leave you with your mouth hanging open in awe. You will look back and think "How did I get here?" But the path has been clear and you have followed each step. 

I am yours and you are mine forever. And, that is enough. Everything comes from that simple truth. Go rest and let me love you a bit more tonight.

Trust...

My prayer:

God, I ask for wisdom, guidance, discernment, and strength. Lead and guide me into your chosen path for my life. I am willing, I am faithful, I am yours.

What God Said Tonight:

And I am yours. We have come to a point in our relationship that I can trust you and you can trust me. 

I will not let you down. I will not let you stumble and fall. I will not lead you into anything that will bring you pain and harm. I am your Father and your savior and I will always take you into new levels of my power and my glory. 

You are where you need to be. Your path is laid and you are following it. It will curve to the left and to the right but the way will be very clear to you. 

Trust me. Trust yourself. We will walk this path together.

Growing good...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. Today, nothing went as planned but everything worked out in the end. Good thing you are in charge! No one but the God of the Universe could have kept up with all the curve balls that today had for me. 

Thank you for working all things for my good. Thank you for blessing me more than I deserve. Thank you for being with me and in me, 24/7!

What God Said Tonight:

I don't need to say much to you tonight but I want to spend some time with you. I want to hold you close and help you recover from the day. I want to love you and heal all the wounds from the world. I want to keep you close, safe and loved. 

I am yours and you are mine and we are in this thing together, forever. 

I love you and I am not looking for the bad in you with the intention of changing you. I am rejoicing in the good in you! The good will grow and that will take care of the rest. I will build you from the foundation of good in you until there is no room for anything else. 

The VERY brief joy of success...

My prayer:

Sometimes I work really hard to achieve something and then when I do, it is great for a minute or two but then it just doesn't really matter any more. Is that just me God? Am I the only one who gets bored so easily and has to move on to a new challenge? 

I guess it doesn't really matter if it is just me or not, fact is it is how I am made. It's kind of exhausting. I think it would be better if I could enjoy successes a bit longer and not feel so driven to the new thing. I don't know, it is late and I am babbling at this point. 

Thank you for making me successful God. Thank you for mending the two toughest relationships in my life. Thank you for guiding me and helping me. Thank you for changing me from the inside out to be a little more like you. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am the God of all creation. I created the universe. Losing is not a part of my plan or of who I am. I only "lose" when I choose to for a purpose. When I chose to give up my life for you, I chose to lose for a minute so that I could buy back your soul for you, so I could buy back your life. But that was a choice and it was a choice for a purpose. 

You are my daughter. You are a King's kid. Because of your heritage in me, you are destined to succeed. 

It is not surprising that the joy of the success does not last long for you. If it did, we would not have been able to do all that we have. Stop worrying about what you are not and rejoice in what you are. You are perfectly and wonderfully made in every way. I created you for this time and this place. I created you in the exact form that I needed you. I made no mistakes. I love you!

Spring...

My prayer:

Opportunity vs. temptation...sometimes it is hard to tell the difference. God, I pray for your wisdom, your will, and your patience working in me. I don't want to jump ahead of your timing but you know, on my own, I get so impatient. I see the opening and I want to jump on through. God, this stuff right now is too important. Please don't let me mess it up.

What God Said Tonight:

My princess, Spring is almost here. The flowers are budding but not yet in full bloom. The promise is here and you see it, smell it, sense it but it is just out of reach. 

The Springtime comes when it is time for it to come. Nothing you do or don't do will change that timing. Your only job is to stay  in position and trust me to bring you the new season in the perfect timing that is mine. 

I have a plan. You see it coming. I will let you know if I need you to act. Until then, rest and know that I am in charge. 

I am letting you see the next season because I know you are mature enough to see it without jumping ahead. Watch as I bring you the Spring.

Don't run away...

My prayer:

God, sometimes I look at the world around me and think it is just too much. Too much hate, too much pain, too much need, too much fighting against each other. This world has developed into a scary place and sometimes, a lot of times, I really want to find an island somewhere, grab a couple friends and family and go live in peace. Let the world deal with itself and live life with some people I love. That sounds pretty perfect.

But, even as I am saying that, I can see all of the things that could go wrong with it. Perfect is seldom perfect even with the best of plans.

Not sure where I am headed with these thoughts tonight God, but thanks for listening.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you protected and secure. My security plan is better than the most remote island. Nothing formed against you to hurt you will ever actually hurt you. Nothing can come against you and succeed because you are mine. Every attempt will be met with great power. 

I have you safe so you can reach and love my people. I know you want to go away sometimes. I understand it. But I have need of you. I have plans for you. 

I will give you peace in the middle of any storm. I will keep a hedge of protection around you in all that you do. I will give you favor. But, I need you to live your life among my people. I need you to talk to them and to listen to them. I need you to love them. I need you to show them my love. 

Don't withdraw to your cave despite the strong compulsion to do so. Stay here in my arms and I will give you all that you need. 

God in me...

My prayer:

What a fantastic day God!! Started with a beautiful trail run that kicked my butt. Followed by sushi, new shoes, frozen yogurt, a movie, a nap...then a great time at church tonight with people I love. Sometimes these simple days are the BEST.

Thank you for being with me all day and sharing the fun! Thank you for the luxury of a whole day where I did not have to 'work' at anything, just rest. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am not in a box, I am in you. As long as you get out and live your life, you will take me with you. 

I am in you. When you look for me, don't look around you. Don't look to other people. Look for me in you. I dwell in you and I will help you. 

I am not wandering around and I am not lost. I am firmly in you and I will never leave. I love you ferociously and I will see you protected, whole and prospering forever. 

Restoration...

My prayer:

You are the God of restoration! Thank you God for the restoration you brought me tonight. You gave me years back that had been stolen!! Thank you for the restoration in my family!!! Thank you God that you are the redeemer and the restorer and you make me WHOLE!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have given you a taste of restoration but I have so much more. You have lived without for so long that you have forgotten what it is like to have all that you deserve 

I am going to show you. I am going to provide for you. I am going to see you living the life that I have for you as a Royal Prince and Prophet and Priest. 

I have determined that my children will be blessed. I said it and that is the last word on it. I love you.

Know God's love...

My prayer:

I am boring myself tonight God. How about I listen to you instead. You are never boring. One of the many things I love about you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have waited for this time together. I have waited to tell you and I have set the table for us to be here tonight. I have prepared the time and he place. 

I have much to tell you but first, lay your head on my chest where I can love you. First, let me remind you of how precious you are to me. First let my love heal, cover, and fill every empty spot in you. I have much for us to do but it can all wait until you can know my love for you is powerful, real and better than anything else you will ever experience. 

I have so much love for you and so much of what I want for you is not even possible until you have my love more firmly established in you. 

That is the key of what these last several months have been about. All that I have been teaching you really comes down to that. Know my love in a practical way that changes you. Know my love so that you can love. Know my love so you are whole. Know my love so you can trust me no matter what. 

I love everything about you, absolutely everything now and forever.

Worry...

My prayer:

What a wild ride today was God! Happy to be safe and home with you. 

It seems silly to keep saying it but Thank YOU for your favor on my life!! Each day, you have more wonderfulness for me. Each day, you get me through the hard parts. Each day, I get to say "I made it!" thanks to you working in my life. 

I am more grateful for you than I can ever say.

What God Said Tonight:

I have never worried. Ever. I have no place for worry in me. Worry does not come from me. Worry serves no purpose. 

I have anger and I have joy. I have peace and I have sadness. But I never have worry. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I know the end from the beginning. I never have to worry about how things will turn out. 

I have your back. Your success and you are more important to me than anything else. 

If you believe that, if you believe that I will take care of you. If you believe I am who I say I am and I know what I say I know. If you believe that I am working all things together for your good. If you believe, worry cannot exist in you. 

If worry is tormenting you, check your beliefs. Rest in my peace, now and forever.

Tough times...

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you so much for what you have done in my brother's life!! You are awesome and your favor is wonderful!! 

God, I have some friends that are really going through tough times. Truth is, most of us are going through tough times of one kind or another. I pray God that you send us hope tonight. I ask that you show us the good future you have for us. Remind us God of all of the times that you have taken care of us in the past and give us complete confidence that you will take care of us now.

Your promises never change, you love never changes. What you did for us yesterday you will do for us again. You will rescue us. You will take us to new fields of glory in you. You are our strong tower and in you we will trust. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I am happy to come along side of you and walk you through the trouble. Or, if you let me, I can move inside of you and change you in the midst of the trouble. The change in you will last a lifetime. The change in the situation will only last a moment. 

I will love you no matter what. I will save you no matter what. I will prosper you, no matter what. 

Stretch yourself...

My prayer:

What an interesting day God! Thank you for resolving the 2 year conflict today. Thank you for the new opportunities. Thank you for where you have me right now. It is not perfect but it is exciting!!!

I love you like crazy God and can't wait to hear your voice tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

I see value in you that you do not yet see yourself. I see potential in you that you have yet to imagine. 

I am here to challenge you to grow to the next level of your experience so that you can achieve the phenomenal. 

I don't need you to achieve for me. I don't need you to impress me. But I want to show, through you, my power and my ability to see the miraculous done on earth. 

It is time to stop playing and stop accepting that what you have known is the best that it can be. That is not true. I have infinitely more for you. Stretch yourself that you can reach what I have for you.

Talking to God...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the activity of prayer. I love to pray for people, I love to be prayed for, I love to pray. There is such an intimacy in prayer. Intimacy with you and intimacy with those I am praying with. There is a spiritual connection that happens when two or more of us approach you in prayer that is indescribable and wonderful. 

Then, because you are you and you are so wonderful, you show up and comfort, heal, and change the situations when we ask. It is crazy when I think about it. Not only do you invite me to talk to you, the Most High God of the Universe!!! But also, you listen and take care of the burdens that we bring you. Doesn't get much better than that.

It is pretty amazing when I take a minute to think about it. Thank you SO MUCH!

What God Said Tonight:

When I created you, I had in mind that you would be my friends. My children yes, but also my friends. In the sacrifice of Jesus, you became those friends who I could talk to and who could talk to me. I said that I no longer counted you a slaves but as friends. 

We would not be very good friends if we could not talk to each other. And there is nothing more that I want than your love and friendship. It means the world to me. Love you!

Perfect...

My prayer:

We made it God!!! Friday night and I get to be here with you. That is a successful end to a crazy week! 

God, thank you for everything you did this week. Thank you for being so wonderful. Thank you for talking to me, helping me, guiding me, loving me and making me succeed. You are tremendously amazing and I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am the light in the darkness that will guide you through every situation. There is no confusion in me. There is no need to worry or to wonder with me. 

When I tell you to do something you can do it with complete confidence that it is the best path for you. I have plans for you and they are all good. I have some perfect plans for you. It is my desire that you live in perfect peace, perfect health, perfect love. I am perfecting you even as we speak. 

Your day will come when you will ask, how did I get here and where do I go from here. That day will be evidence that you have completed another layer of your maturity. 

The good news is I always have greater levels of understanding and intimacy for you. Start to get your story out, your testimony. Tell people so they can see and know there is hope. 

In our quest to do great things, no not forget the poor, diseased servant who served you so well.

The road of perfect purpose...

My prayer:

Wonderful Lord. I am in awe tonight to look back and see how it is I came to be where I am today. This next thing that you have prepared, which is so clearly from you. No one else could have arranged so many divergent things and people over so many years to come together for a single purpose. 

God sized dreams are exciting and scary! 

Thank you for preparing me. Thank you for providing the opportunities. Thank you God for being in charge this whole time, working together everything, even the things I thought were so disappointing when they happened and making it into something bigger and better than I could have ever imagined on my own. 

What God Said Tonight:

Hang in there. There is not too much farther to travel to the road of your perfect purpose. 

Know that when you get there, it won't all be easy. You will work and you will fight but you will do it all for me and I will be your ever present help. 

I have positioned you. I have protected you. I will promote. you. You will see your dream of serving me lived out in a way you never could have imagined. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever.

Changed by love...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Make me a better person. God, I want to add value to everything and everyone around me. I don't want to be a drain or a subtraction in anyone's life. 

Fill me with your love that it overflows out of me. I know when I let stress get the upper hand, that the stress will flow out of me onto others. I want that to be true of your goodness, grace and love. Let you and all your goodness outshine the lack in me. 

Help me to love from the core of me. Go deep into me and wash out any bitterness, hurt or lack. Anything that gets in the way you flowing through me. 

I ask this for my sake, for the sake of those around me and most of all for your Kingdom's sake. We have got to get better at loving each other here on earth. It is getting pretty scary.

What God Said Tonight:

When you look at the world, you see crowds of people. You see disasters. You see wars and rumors of wars. And all of those things are happening. But I see Jimmy and Joseph. I see Serina and Sara. I see Yaniv and Yolanda. 

I see each of my people, my kids, individually. I see their struggles. I see their challenges. I see their hurts. I see also, their futures. I know that they will get to their promised land. I know that they will get to the place of loving those around them as themselves. I know that they will get to the place of their purpose. I don't have to see them in it today to know that it is in them. I don't have to see it in you today to know it is in you. 

I will continue to change you from the inside out. That is what I do. I will continue to grow you and help you. I will always continue to love you. 

My love is the key, truly. When you truly experience my love, everything is changed. There is no limit to my love. No matter how much you feel it, no matter how much you know, I will always love you more than that. You will never reach the end of my love. 

Movement...

My prayer:

Wonderful God of peace. I am content in you tonight God. I am simply content. That is not a state that I get into too often but it sure feels nice. No striving, no questioning, no worrying, no grasping, just content knowing that you are you and you love me and we are here, right now. 

I love you God. Thank you for contentment.

What God Said Tonight:

Today you are content which is good but it is not a time for rest. It is a time to stand up and move. It is a time to step forward, step out and see the Kingdom of God that is at hand. 

In your contentment, know that you will have much to do in this time. Listen for me, my voice, my guidance and I will take you down each vital path. This is a season of movement and you should be ready and prepared to move with me. 

Love you now and forever.

Truth in love...

My prayer:

My God, I pray that truth is revealed. Help me to know truth. Help me to share truth. Help me to center my life on the truth of you.

What God Said Tonight:

The truth is not as mysterious as you might think. I do not hide the truth from you. You know the scripture very well by now, I call you friends, not slaves. I have shared with you all of my plans which is something done with friends. I have not hidden anything from you. 

However, I know there are many voices on this earth. I know the world has many messages, and it can be difficult to separate the truth from the waste. I will help you sift the truth. 

Know that the one true test is love. Does the thing you are questioning reflect love? Then it is probably truth. 

Now, you just have to understand what love is. We will work more on that next. 

More...

My prayer:

Awesome God. It is very late, just got home and I have work tomorrow morning. I thought about skipping this time together for tonight. I mean, you have been talking so clearly to me all day and it has been a day that has been blessed in your presence. But, it just didn't feel right going to bed without hearing from you specifically, without taking the time to shut up and listen to you. i am here and can't wait to hear your voice tonight...

What God Said Tonight:

I have more to tell you. I always have more. I never run out, of anything. 

I never run out of love. I never run out of patience. I never run out of healing. I never run out of forgiveness. I am the God of more than enough so I never run out. 

No matter how much you need, I have more. No matter how much you learn, I have more to teach. No matter how blessed you are, I have more blessings for you. 

I am your everything and I love you more than you will ever know. And, I always have more for you.

Release the past...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day and a wonderful night God. 

Thank you for rest today. Thank you for the amazing news of restoration today. Thank you for a fantastic service tonight. Thank you for hope. Thank you for never giving up on me. 

You in me, in my life is more important to me than anything else.You make everything else work. I LOVE YOU.

What God Said Tonight:

It is time to release the things that hold you back and reach forward to the the future and promises I have for you. Your past will only keep you bound. 

Sometimes, your past can be the tool, the stepping stone you need to to move forward. Right now, your past  is like a ball and chain on your ankle, holding you to where you are when I want you to move forward. Release it, let it go, and move into the promise I have for you. 

I love you too my sweet child and I will see you walking in victory again.

Restore...

My prayer:

Good friends and wonderful worship...tonight was good God! I am glad this week is done and I get to have a Sabbath with you. What do you want to do tomorrow? How should we spend our day together? I am all yours!

What God Said Tonight:

We will spend tomorrow beside the cool, slow waters. Tomorrow will be a day of rest and contemplation for you. I will restore your soul I will give you drink to refresh your spirit. I will strengthen you with my joy. 

Tomorrow is about healing from the battle and restoring you to wholeness. I will receive your worship and I will be glorified in it, but let me worry about that. Let me worry about spreading the good news message tomorrow. 

You are in my arms and I will see you restored.

Growth struggle...

My prayer:

I am fighting to focus on the positive God. It is harder than usual and I am not even sure why. You continue to bless me and pour out favor on my life and I remain so grateful. 

Maybe I need a change of scenery? Maybe that will give me a fresh perspective? Maybe I need to stop being so focused on me and take care of some other people. 

I am not sure of the answer, I am not even sure of the problem. But I am sure that things are not quite right and I need your help. Guide me, show me, help me God to live the life you have for me. I am all yours.

What God Said Tonight:

I am. 

You are living life and life is not always perfect joy. You have read so many times of how you will have trials and tribulations. You have seen in your own past that your times of the greatest growth come out of times of struggle. I know the struggle is not fun but it is necessary. 

I have great plans and for you to be ready, you have to grow more in me, fast. The fastest way to help you grow the character you need is through a struggle. Be grateful that this struggle is not one you have to meet on your own. Lean on me, lean on those close to you. 

You will see so very soon the necessity of this season. You will look back with your hindsight and understand. For now know that I will not see you in pain any longer than is necessary. Know that I will always rescue you. Know that my love for you is so enormous that it cannot be measured, ever. 

I am.

Keep your balance...

My prayer:

Doubt and insecurity in myself. Confidence and peace in you. 

I am choosing, right now, to focus on my confidence and peace in you. God, I believe that you are Lord. I believe that you have my best interests in mind. I believe you will work everything out. I believe you have good plans for me. I believe you have a purpose for my life that is greater than what I have known so far. I believe and have confidence in you.

That is what I choose to focus on because the alternative leads to discouragement, depression and death. Focusing on you leads to life, joy and peace. Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I have everything so perfectly planned out. I know you can't see it but I am glad you can trust me. I have thins timed so perfectly. I know you can't predict it but I am glad you trust me. 

What you can see is me working in your life. You can see how I have woven your life together. Look at those things as  a reminder, a memorial, to give you confidence for the future. 

Keep your eyes stayed on me. Not because I need the attention, although I love when we are so close. But keep your eyes on me because when you look at anything else, you will panic and fall. 

Life is precarious right now. We are on the edge of greatness, of great things, and if you do not keep your balance you will fall and miss it. 

The best way to keep your balance is to keep your eyes stayed on me. Let me be your center. Let me be your stabilizing focal point. I will see your through, I promise.

Abstract art life...

My prayer:

Thank you God for healing me! 

Today was a whole lot better and while there is still a lot to figure out, I am reminded today that all things are possible with you. I am reminded that you have a an answer to every problem. I am reminded that you have placed at this time and in this place for a reason and a purpose and you will not leave me here. 

LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Your life is an abstract art painting right now. You see hints of what it means but you do not yet see the full picture. You see beautiful colors and you see outlines of what you think you understand but there is so much more to know. 

Step back a minute and stop worrying about analyzing it all. Instead, take a moment to just experience it. You might find that you like it. 

The chaos is not true chaos. It is art. It is a depiction of something that cannot be expressed in words or in pictures. Your life is growing beyond the ability to describe. You are on the edge of a life with true purpose. Trust me to lead you in it.

Don't get lost in the darkness...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I know my time would be best spent finding the few bright spots of today but I just don't have the energy. Today I hurt, physically, emotionally, just hurt. And now, I am tired. 

I know that tomorrow will be better. I know that my hope is in you and you have a good future for me. And, I promise, I will be able to focus on that, tomorrow. 

Tonight, I just need relief and rest and your voice...

What God Said Tonight:

I will comfort you but I will not baby you. 

You will get up tomorrow and face the day. You will have strength beyond your capability. You will have peace in the middle of the storm. You will have joy in the midst of mourning. You will have it all because you have me. 

Your healing is here. Your rest is here. Because I am here. Everything you need and everything you ever will need is in me and I will provide. Come to me and I will pour out a blessing you cannot contain. 

You know that it is always darkest before the dawn. Your dawn is on the way. Do not get lost in the darkness. Do not take up residence in the darkness. Allow yourself some needed rest but then, get up and stand strong with me by your side and in you. 

I love you daughter and I hate that you hurt. I will remove your pain as your find comfort in me. Rest your head here, with me and I will comfort you, for tonight. I will help you up tomorrow and I will stand with you in the face of every challenge. 

Preparation...

My prayer:

Thank you God for guidance, next steps, understanding, and rest today. 

I loved hanging with you on the mountain top. It has been too long since we have been able to do that. We had to trudge through a lot of mud and ice to get there but sometimes, a tough path makes the destination more rewarding. Fact is, anywhere with you is a good place to be. 

Keep talking God and I will keep listening. Things seem to work better that way.

What God Said Tonight:

I will wrap you in the softest lambs wool blankets. I will keep you safe and warm in all seasons. I will guide you and teach you. I will love you, now and always. 

A season is coming where you will need my strength more than ever. A season where you will need to depend on me out of habit. 

That time is nearly here and you are nearly prepared. I will not let the season come until the preparation is done. 

Frustration struggle...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. You know my heart tonight and you know my frustrations. Help me to have a new viewpoint? Or, help me to see the real issue underneath my frustration. God, spelling it all out here would give it more power than it deserves; but, as always, I need your help. 

I am completely dependent on you and I love being in this place. This is a place of victory and joy. Than you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You are right to discern that your frustration lays somewhere other than your expression of it. You are frustrated at a deeper level of personal struggle. 

I am here to struggle through it with you. Or if you want, I can release you from the struggle right now. Do you want that? Or, do you gain something from the struggle? Your struggle makes you stronger. If I release you right now, tonight, you will be free, for a time. You will face it again and you will face the same challenge. 

The way to move through it is to gain strength through me with me in you. That strength takes you through it so that the next time you run into this challenge, you are strong enough to walk directly though it with no concern. 

I love you and I will take you on whichever route you want to go. I only need your choice. I think you are ready to face this thing. I think you are ready to press through, gaining strength so that next time you shake it off like the snake at the fire. But, if you do not feel you are ready, I will release you now. 

Your choice. Make it wisely. 

The lost child...

My prayer:

Pretty drained tonight God. Today was a challenge for sure. You brought me through, like always. I love living life with you God! Ready to sit in your presence and listen.

What God Said Tonight:

I lost a child, a lamb along the way. One that I wanted and had claimed as my own has wandered away and I must find them. They cannot survive on their own. 

I am calling their name but they have not heard me. I will not give up on them. I will not leave them. I will continue to follow them and call to them until they hear me. 

Listen carefully, do you hear me calling your name? I want you home, I want you in my arms, I want you with me now and forever. 

I grieve over the lost child. I rejoice over the lost child come home. I don't care where you have been I don't care what you have done. I just want you home 

Good news...

My prayer:

Thank you God!!! I had so many things that I thought were going to be hard today and you made everything easy! My favorite part of today was watching two of your kids get a new level of freedom in you through your grace. 

It is SO WONDERFUL God when we start to really understand the grace you have for us. It is hard for us. It is so foreign to believe that no matter what we do, you will not stop loving us, you will not stop forgiving us, you will not stop blessing us because of who you are and what you did for us. We didn't do anything to deserve your love and we can't do anything to lose your love. Period, end of story.

Once I understood that, I was free to invite you into every dark corner of my life and let you start to change me from the inside out. That is freedom. That is salvation. That is the GOOD NEWS!

Love you so much. Thank you for being you and doing things the way you do.

What God Said Tonight:

Well done. I don't judge you on your actions, good or bad but I recognize obedience in you. I recognize faithfulness in you. I recognize your heart to do my will and share my grace.

There is no greater call than to share my grace and love with other people. There is no higher standing than a witness to the good news that all law is fulfilled and all grace abounds for those who believe in me.

Kick off evil...

My prayer:

Wonderful day again God. You are blessing me abundantly and I know I don't deserve but I do love it! Thank you for covering me with your sacrifice that I can be worthy of you. Thank you for not looking at what I do but looking at your righteousness that covers me. Thank you for changing me from the inside out so I can bless others like you bless me.

God, we have the new Bible study tomorrow night. I am excited but a little nervous. I ask that you bring everyone that you want to be there. I pray that you are in charge. I pray that you anoint the time so people hear directly from you. Let this Bible study be a place where people can see directly how you and your Word can apply to them personally. Let this Bible study be a place that helps each of us get closer to you and know you better.

Thanks God and amen!

What God Said Tonight:

I will kick evil off you as it tries to attach to you. I will wrap my arms around you to keep you safe. I will enfold you in my light that the darkness cannot take you. I will keep you safe from all harm. 

I love you and you are mine now and forever. I will not tolerate any violence or evil to come against you. I will not tolerate it. 

You are meant for great things and I have set you aside. I have consecrated you  and I will not have you diminished. I love you my child.

Water...

My prayer:

I have nothing worth talking about running through my mind tonight God. How about I just listen to you instead? Love you so much!

What God Said Tonight:

Water is such a good picture of my presence. 

Water refreshes and refuels. Water is an absolute necessity for life. Water flows through and over things and always gets to it's designation. Water is never lost or diminished. It changes form, but it is always present. Water can move a mountain of tear out a forest. Water can soothe and restore. Water can heal and can support you. Water is essential for life but has the power to kill. 

I love you daughter and I love when you seek to know me better. We have so much eternity to live together and it is so easy when you know me. I love you.

Rejoice at the root...

My prayer:

God you are my blessing and your favor is on my life and I am SO GRATEFUL!!!!! What an amazing day of blessings and favor! I am so grateful that you are on my side and that you work everything for my good. It is amazing and wonderful and, if I was not living it, I probably wouldn't believe it. 

Thank you for the favor with our new client today. Thank you for healing my friend's mom. Thank you for amazing weather. Thank you for helping two wonderful friends have new levels of confidence in you today. Thank you for the amazing, breakthrough, wonderful, world changing news tonight! Can't wait to see what you do tomorrow.

LOVE YOU! PRAISE YOU!! ALL GLORY TO YOU GOD!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Days like today are like flowers blooming. The plant has been there all along. The roots growing in the ground, the stem coming up and the leaves spreading out. But it is not until the flowers come out that you truly see the plant and rejoice in its presence. 

I am taking you into a new level where you rejoice at the root, knowing the flower is to follow. I am taking you to a new level that you will be able to truly rejoice at the beginning of a thing, at the preparation stage and you won't have to wait for the result. 

I love you and I will see you mature. Not for my sake but for your sake. I want you to live a life a of joy and contentment and this is a key part of that life. 

Love you my sweet daughter. Sleep well.

Disappointment...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I want to lift up people who are hurting from disappointment tonight. We try to live a life of hope but sometimes, things don't work out the way we think they will and that can hurt like crazy.

God I pray that for every disappointment, you bring a new and bigger dream. I pray that every hurt be turned for their good. I ask that you comfort them in the disappointment and heal the hurt.

Leaving it in your hands, trusting with confidence in your love for us.

What God Said Tonight:

Some things must die before the season of new beginnings can come. No one likes the death but it marks a turning point for your future. 

The pain, is temporary. The disappointment is fleeting and without true substance. 

I am your hope. I will bring you into new beginnings that will provide seven fold the blessing you were expecting from this disappointment. I love you and will walk you through to the new season. 

Rest in me. 

You are now free from the past, from the bondage of the dream that was never meant to be yours. Move forward knowing that I will guide you.

Open doors...

My prayer:

How many things have I missed out on in life because I thought I was not ready? I hear people say that all the time God. You open a door in their life and they say, I am just not ready for that. The problem with that is, the door doesn't usually wait for them to be ready. It usually closes long before. I think that is where a lot of our regrets in life come from.

God I ask that you help me to step through every door you open for me, whether I think I am ready or not. I know that you prepare me for everything so if you bring it, I must be ready, even when I think I am not. God give me abilities beyond my nature to meet the needs of every open door.

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Not every open door is from me. You must seek me, the Holy Spirit to guide you to the right doors. 

Not every decision you make is going to turn out the way you planned. But I can use anything to do anything. So, call out to me, seek me. I will guide you to the open doors that will result in good things for you and the Kingdom. I will point you away from the doors leading to ruin. 

I will guide you, I will prepare you, and I will work it all out. 

Love you too, more than you can ever know.

Pressing, pushing...

My prayer:

Amazing worship time tonight God! I am becoming more and more aware of your presence in me and in your other kids and it is amazing. You are amazing. You in us makes us amazing. I am sensing a theme here...AMAZING!!! 

Love you so much God. I am really looking forward to Sabbath with you tomorrow. A whole day to hang out with you. I can't think of anything better, unless it was hanging out with you on a beach somewhere warm! Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

Everything gets worn down eventually. Even rock. Given enough time and enough pressure, enough water, enough wind, a rock will be ground down to sand eventually. 

I see you pushing, I see you seeking, I see you pressing forward into your promise and you may feel like it is not making a difference, but each prayer, each time you step out in faith, each time you believe and trust me, a little more of the resistance is worn away and broken down. 

Your  prayers are effective but the progress cannot yet be measured. 

One day, not long from now, you will press and it will break through, it will break open and you will be on the other side. Don't stop pushing. The next push could be the one that breaks though. I will do my part. I ask you to press. 

My protector...

My prayer:

Thank you for your amazing protection today God!!! It was truly incredible and I have the pictures to prove it!!

You are wonderful and how you take care of me is phenomenal. LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

What God Said Tonight:

The sun is setting on this season and in the brief darkness before the dawn, there are not more dangers than in the light but they are harder for you to see, harder for you to avoid. 

I will guide your steps so you do not dash your foot upon the stone. I will be your protector and your champion. I will see you safe and unharmed. 

The dawn is coming soon and until then, I will guide you through the rocks.

Get ready to shine...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I am feeling a bit on edge, off center, discombobulated tonight and I am not sure why. Today was not what I was expecting, but it was pretty good. Got to encourage some people, got to get some potentially great news, got everything done at work that needed to get done...all and all, not a bad day. But, something is definitely off tonight and I don't know what it is. 

God, I thank you that you are always in charge and even though I am feeling off, I can know that you still have everything in hand and under control. God, my confidence in you allows me to have peace in any storm, any fire, any trial and any attack. I believe in you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have not left. I have such great plans that are unfolding even as we speak. My time is now. Your time is now. You will see great and mighty things and you will give me the glory. You will do things you cannot imagine. 

My promise on your life has never changed; but, sometimes, with a dream this big, it takes some time to put it into place. 

I have been blocked I have been rerouted. I have been working to get this to you for a long time. But, in the end, we win. Always. In the end, I will see the vision manifest. In the end we will see great and unthought of miracles. 

I have saved you for this time. Get ready to shine.

Season of trust...

My prayer:

Nothing left of me tonight God. Sounds like the perfect set up for you to be you...

What God Said Tonight:

I am glad to have this time with you. This season is a strange one. Like the weather, this season is unprecedented.

It seems as though very little is changing. It seems as though the winter will never end, but I am doing so many things behind the scenes. I am accomplishing much in the spirit world. You cannot see everything right now but trust that I setting tings in place for you.

This is a season of trust, faith, and patience but it is all worth it in the end. I promise. I love you and I am always on your side. 

I believe...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I believe in you. I believe you will do everything that you said you would do. I believe you are everything that you have said that you are. I believe that you will work all things to my good. I believe that there is no greater power on heaven or earth than you. I believe you love me more than I will ever know. I believe you heal me. I believe that you sacrificed so that I can and am saved. I believe that you will come through for me every time. I believe in you.

What God Said Tonight:

I believe your faith has made you well daughter. I love you.

Feelings...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I don't know what to talk about tonight. Not that I don't have a million thoughts running through my head, because I do. I just don't know how they all fit together to even put them to words, let alone organize them into anything that makes sense. 

God, I ask that you search my heart tonight. Find in your search anything you want to change and go ahead and change it. Find anything that you find worthy and keep it. Find any hurts and heal them. 

Thank you for your presence in my heart God. You presence makes it more than it would ever be on its own and capable of love that I could never achieve on my own. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am here and I  bring you peace. You are feeling anxious because you are being stretched and growing. You are feeling discouraged because you don't see your future the way that I do. You are feeling joy because I am in you. 

Your feelings matter. I know you have not believed that for a very long time but your feelings matter. I gave them to you. I value them. I value you. Your feelings are the richness in your life that makes each day worth living. 

Your feelings are not always accurate in that they do not always follow facts, logic or reason, but they are not meant to. You have your mind, your logic and reason to fulfill their own purpose. Your feelings are meant to color and enrich your experience of things. 

Do not be afraid or shy away from your feelings. Allow them to flow in you and you will find more joy than you can know or understand right now. I am in you and I feel what you feel. I know what you think. And I love you, all of you, now and forever.

God's help and guidance...

My prayer:

I don't know what to say tonight God. It isn't that I don't have needs/wants/petitions because you know I do. But, I am almost afraid to ask for what I want. I don't trust my own desires and instincts right now. 

I guess God, I would ask that you, who knows what is best and knows the end from the beginning, that guide me to the right choices, change my heart from any choices or wants taht will end in less than your best. Holy Spirit, my guide, my help, show me what to do and help me to do it, everyday please.

I love you so much God and I am so grateful that I get to come to you with everything!

What God Said Tonight:

I know what is right and best for you and I will guide you. I will also help you out when you get it wrong. 

My love for you never stops, no matter what. My help for you never goes away. You don't always hear it and you don't always follow it but my help is always there for you. 

You are in a season of change and about to step into the true miraculous experience of living with me in you, in everyday. There comes a lot of change with that kind of future, that kind of dream. 

I will always tell people to use what you have at hand first. When looking for your next step, look at what I have placed around you. It will very often point you in the right direction. But, when it doesn't or when you don't follow the path, don't worry so much about it. 

I love you.

Let God's love...

My prayer:

I love Friday nights with you God. We have made it through the week and I have Sabbath to look forward to. The worries of the week seem to slide off in your presence and your peace.

Thank you for always being here for me. Thank you for always taking care of me. Thank you for always blessing me. Thank you for always loving me. 

Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

Sink down into my lap my daughter. Lay your head on my shoulder. Let me love you tonight. Let me wrap my arms around you tonight. Let me convince you that I will never leave you and that I will always protect you from every evil. 

My whole purpose is to love you. That is my goal. That is my focus. I will love you all the days of your life and well beyond. I will love you through eternity. 

Let my love carry you tonight. Let it comfort you tonight. Let it surround you tonight, filling every cut, every hole, every deficit, making you whole, complete and fully satisfied in me. 

I am all yours, now and forever my love. 

You choose...

My prayer:

Following you God is the easiest and hardest thing in the world! On the one hand, I just need to follow your flow, your open doors, your opportunities and you make everything that I touch be blessed. On the other hand, When I look at all of the possibilities for my next step and I am trying to take the one that you want me to, it can be crazy hard.

God, I can only do what I think is best, and sometimes I can only do what I can do. I pray that you take it all and work it to my good and the good of those around me. I love you and my heart is good even if sometimes my execution is not.

What God Said Tonight:

I don't have just one right path for you. I have many paths, all of which can work toward the good of the Kingdom and for your good. I am not picky, You can choose any of them. 

All have great benefits and all have great challenges. All will lead you to your destination in me because I am in you now, I will stay in you and we will arrive at the final destination together, at the feet of the Father, you covered in my holiness. 

All that happens between now and then is really up to you. I can't wait to see what you choose. I will bless it. I will help you. We have some great adventures to live out on the way to the final destiny. You pick which ones. 

You and me forever...

My prayer:

Awesome and mighty God. I have that feeling of imminent anticipation again. Like something is just about to happen but not quite yet. 

It is exciting, nerve wracking, and exhilarating but I am ready to go over the cliff and see the new thing! I am ready to fall head first into the new thing. I am ready to sink down in it and revel in it! I am SO READY!! 

Thank you God for always having a hope and a new thing for me! Life would be meaningless and so boring without you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am here, in you, around you. I am your cover and your peace. I am your hope and your promise. I am your future. 

There is never a need to be anxious or to worry because everything we do, for the rest of eternity we will do together and therefore, it will all work to your good. As long as we stick together, you have nothing to worry about. And, since I will never leave you, looks like we are sticking together forever. 

I will walk with you into the new thing. I will carry you through the hard things. I will dance with you in the good things. You and me forever.

God's anger...

My prayer:

Wonderful Lord. As you know, I have been reading the gospels a lot lately and I am puzzled by something. Well, maybe puzzled is the wrong word but I am noticing something I have not noticed in the past. Jesus, was tough. I grew up with this image of Jesus as being this sweet, loving, kind and gentle man. And, I see those aspects of him in the gospels; however, I also see that he, that you, were angry A LOT. 

I see that Jesus never backed down from a confrontation. At most, he would cease to answer. And, how many times did they try to stone you? I think I have counted up to five so far. 

I think maybe the image that I have had of Jesus has been a bit off. I have always thought of Jesus as the sweet side of you God and the Father as the tough side. Now it does not seem so clear cut. 

Love you God, all of you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have many more aspects of me to show you. I am infinite, all powerful, all knowing, and Lord of the universe. It is not possible for you to know all of me even in one hundred lifetimes. But we do have eternity together so you will have time. 

My nature is to love. My reaction can sometimes seem harsh. But the harshness is only a result of seeing others put in danger or harmed. I will always get angry and fight back when someone tries to hurt one of my kids. Whether that is through physical pain, spiritual pain or emotional pain, I will defend you now and forever in every circumstance. 

My anger, my wrath is never for you . I have you covered in my righteousness and therefore you are loved. I will protect you to the ends of he earth and beyond. Nothing evil shall come near you and nothing shall harm you. That is a promise. 

Hope always...

My prayer:

Wonderful God. I know you say that joy comes in the morning but today started pretty rough and got better and better as the day went on. Joy came in the evening today. Morning or evening, I don't care, as long as it comes! 

So much of life is hard. It would be unbearable without your joy. 

Thank you for friends, thank you for inspiration, thank you for laughter. Love you so much!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have one thing for you that will never run out. Well I have many things for you that will never run out. But the one thing, that you will know every day for all eternity is hope. I always have more hope for you. 

In the brightest of days or the darkest of nights, I have hope for you. 

I will always show you the sun on the horizon if you will just look up. When you are going through the hard times, it is easy to look down, to look at the problem. I ask you to look up and you will see I have hope waiting for you. 

I ALWAYS have a way out for you. I will never leave you in the pit, in the fire. I will always bring you out. 

I love you so much. I really do. 

God in charge...

My prayer:

Mighty God. There are so many things that are outside of my control. So many things I want to help with but feel entirely ineffectual in being able to help. There are so many situations and people who need your help, now. 

I love your peace in the storm. I love that you take care of us. But sometimes, like now, we need the situation to change. Hearts need to be healed, people need your protection, people need your protection, and we all need your love to be blatantly evident in our lives. God you know the specifics and the people I am talking about tonight.

God, I am sorry to jump right into the needs tonight. I do  love you. I do appreciate you. I do worship you God as the only one true God, my savior, my everything. All of those things are true, But the needs are true too. Please help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have the whole world in my hands. Not just the world itself but every last detail within the world. I can intervene in any situation that you release my will into. 

I am not shy and I am not timid. When it is time for the storm to cease, I will call it to cease and it will. When the time comes for deliverance, I will send the deliverer and make a way out where there seemed to be no way. I will heal bodies, minds, souls, spirits, of anyone who believes. I will fix the problem. 

Believe it, trust me, see me work it out. I love you daughter.

Love anyway...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I have been fighting depression all day and truth is I am losing the battle. My life is blessed and wonderful. I have no right to be feeling like this. You have been so generous to me, I should be on my knees thanking you but I am simply not there tonight. 

God, I am sorry that I can't do what I know I should. But, this is where I am at tonight. A mess. Thank you for loving me anyway.

What God Said Tonight:

My sweet daughter. What has brought  you to this place? What has you feeling like you are less than you should be? 

You are trying to live up to expectations that are not from me. I have no expectations of you other than to be who you are and to love. 

You were hearing my voice tonight. When in doubt, love anyway. When you are afraid that you are doing the wrong thing, love anyway. When you are afraid you are taking the wrong path, love anyway. When you see that your life is less than what you want it to be, love anyway. 

I really have the one job for you, love anyway. I will, I PROMISE, I WILL take care of everything else. I WILL. You just go ahead and love anyway.

God, no waiting...

My prayer:

Thank you God! So many things to thank you for today. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for time with great friends. Thank you for rest. Thank you for time to study and worship. 

God, I pray and ask for an even greater experience of your presence in me. I have some holes that need to be filled. I have some lack that needs your wholeness and completeness. Fill me tonight. Fill me to overflow with you. 

Thank you for being you and being in my life. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am Spirit and peace in your storm. I am joy in your mourning. I am health in your sickness. Everything that I am is for you, specifically. Each one of my children has a special designation of me. 

You are etched in the palm of my hand and I am etched upon your heart. I am the mark that will never be washed away. I am the mark that saves you. 

Feel my caress and know my love tonight. I am completely enamored of you. You are the focus of my heart. I will love you through the end of time and I will never let you go. I am always with you. You are never alone. 

You never have to wait for me to have time for you. You never have to wonder if I am too busy for you. I always have time for you and I am never too busy. You are my priority, now and forever.

God's grand adventure...

My prayer:

Too tired to think God but not too tired to listen. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

The life you imagine that you are about to live out, the worries you have for the future, are not real. They are false images that have been given to you by your enemy to keep you from experiencing all that I have for you. 

Trust in me, follow me, seek me and I will take you on a grand adventure. It will be exciting but it does not need to be dangerous. Trust in me and I will take you to see great wonders. 

I am ready to go. Do not let fear stop you from coming along.
