Preparing for heaven...

My prayer:

Hallelujah! We made it God! Thank you for fun and friends tonight to cap off a tough week.

Thank you for joy in the midst of crazy. Thank you for wonderful people to live this life with. Thank you for always being there for me and always giving me whatever I need to get through any situation.

You are amazing and your blessings are ridiculously AWESOME!

What God Said Tonight:

I have much. I am the provider and the  creator. I never run out. I have everlasting joy, I have never ending patience. I have joy that is abdundant. I have enough for everyone, forever.

I love you so much and it is with every bit of who I am that I want you to see all that I have for you. I want you to live a crazy and ridiculously blessed life so when you come to live with me forever in heavenly realms, you will not be surprised.

I really do expect that your life here on earth to be as it will be in heaven. I have opened that door for you. I have provided a way for you to know the blessings of heaven in this life.

Open your mind, your spirit to receive and see all that I have for you. It goes beyond what you have imagined.

Giving...

My prayer:

Thank you for bringing me through another challenging day God. Thank you for blessing my friend with the new job and raise. That was REALLY good timing on your part! You always get that timing thing just right.

I love you and can't wait to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

I give you my voice tonight but more, I give you my peace. I give you my love. I give you everything you need.

It is my greatest pleasure to give. Giving is an expression of my love.

It is why I love it so much when you give. When you are generous, it shows my love in you, to those around you.

There is no greater blessing than to give in the right time to the right person.

I love you daughter. Let's find someone to give to again tomorrow!

WItness...

My prayer:

To witness, to remember, it can be so very difficult but it seems essential. If I become numb to the evil in this world, doesn't that mean it will increase? And yet, sometimes that evil is so hideous, even to witness and remember can feel like its own deep wound.

God, I ask that you heal our wounds. You are our healer. Only you can heal these wounds.

What God Said Tonight:

I have called you to witness my resurrection and the salvation of the world through my son. I have called you to be witness to my power and love in this world.

I have given you a compassionate heart that seeks out those who are hurting and desires to see them made whole. I will heal, I will make whole and I will give you the strength to be my witness in the midst.

I love you. Wash yourself in my love tonight and let it heal you.

God's future...

My prayer:

I don't know what to talk about tonight God.

Thanks for listening to all of the prayers throughout the day today. Thank you for always being there for us.

But, now, I think I just want to listen. I want to know what you are thinking about and what is important to you. What do you want God?

What God Said Tonight:

It is not hard to know what I want. To know what I am thinking about. I have only one goal, restoration of my children to me.

I started something a long time ago. It was good. Then, it was corrupted.

Now, through the new plan and our new covenant, it, our relationship, our universe can and will be stronger and better than ever.

You will see a day where my son reigns as King and there will be peace, everywhere. Not just peace within you but peace among you. There will be no need. Everyone will have everything they need. There will be no pain, no sickness, no sorrow. There will be no death.

I have such a clear picture of how wonderful it will be. And, everything I do is to get us to that time, that place, that existence.

I love you so much and the journey to get there is just as important as the destination. But, in this case, especially, the destination is really, very important too.

I love you sweet child. Rest knowing that I am working everything for your good.

Belief...

My prayer:

Mighty and wonderful God. Laying down everything tonight at your feet. Holding nothing back. Knowing you will take care of me and my life. Thank you for always knowing what is best for me. 

What God Said Tonight:

Sweet daughter. Your surrender is beautiful. Your trust makes me wholly content. 

I am always on your side. When you submit it all to me, I have more latitude to effect change. 

I am in you and I am with you. I will never leave you. Your life is completely covered and redeemed by me. It is no longer about what you do, it is about who you believe in. Your belief in me, who I am and what I have done, that is all that matters now and forever. 

I love you. Your next steps are going to be fun.

Tangled roots...

My prayer:

Grateful for what I have. Confused about what I want. Content that my needs are met. Love you Abba!

What God Said Tonight:

Thanks for the summary update my child. While the simplicity of it is beautiful, the truth of what I see is a bit messier.

Your roots, the core of you and what makes up you, is in a tangled mess. Give your mess to me and I will arrange it. I will make order in chaos. I will bring peace where there is none. I am all yours and I will make this situation right if you give it to me.

Turning struggle into blessing...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God, I am so grateful that this week is in my rear view mirror! There were times when I was not sure I was going to make it to Sabbath and I am so tired, I can't even really put two thoughts together.


However, when I look at my week compared to the week that many of my friends had, I realize that mine was not so bad. There are a lot of people dealing with much tougher things than I am right now.

Thank you for getting us all through.

What God Said Tonight:

I have ways to use anything and everything for your good. I can turn things around so that the very thing that you thought was going to destroy you actually becomes your biggest blessing.

You see me do it all the time.

So, when you have a week like this, full of struggle and hard work, start to get excited. It just means I have more material to work with. More things that I can turn around to bless you.

Rejoice in me and watch me bless you.
