God, my guide...

My prayer:

Awesome God. This week was messed up. I thought I was doing pretty good with maintaining a good attitude, trusting you through it, but tonight was the straw that broke the camel's back (so to speak). And yet, even in this latest thing, I can so easily imagine how you could be using this to protect me from much greater trouble.

I really do trust you but I am a bit beat down and worn out from it all this week. I ask for you help, with me and with each situation.

What God Said Tonight:

I am your guide in the small and the great things. I won't always steer you away from something, just because it is hard. I can use even the most foolish things of this world.

I need some of those hard things to break off the even harder things that get attached to you.

Be open to where I want to guide you next and don't get distracted by the big obstacles in the road.

Until I get it right...

My prayer:

I am working as hard as I know how to learn what you are trying to teach me Father. I know it must be important but it is not easy.

I can see how, if I learn this, life will be easier and better. But, getting from here to there seems nearly impossible. On the other hand, you are the God of the impossible, so nearly possible is child's play!

Keep teaching me God. Don't give up on me.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not in me to give up on you.

Remember how I told the man that he had to forgive his enemy 70 times 7? Well, if I have told my children they must forgive 490 times, how much more will I forgive?

My forgiveness has no limit. My grace covers everything. That means, you have unlimited chances with me.

We are in this together for eternity. There is plenty of time to get it wrong...until you get it right. Love you!

Lean back...

My prayer:

God, thank you for challenges that keep life interesting.

I pray for wisdom on how to deal with each of them. I pray for strength to endure them. I pray for grace for when I mess up.

What God Said Tonight:

I have long told you that nothing is wasted in your life. Successes and failures all have their place and they will result in your favor, in time.

When that wall of challenges looks to big to conquer, lean back and feel me behind you. Lean back and know that I am bigger and more powerful than anything that is coming against you. Lean back, close your eyes and trust me to guide you through it.

I love you.

No matter what love...

My prayer:

Thank you for rest today.

I pray for your power and your grace, your peace and your healing be more present than ever in the lives of my family, my friends, everyone you have connected me with.

I am grateful for your love of us.

What God Said Tonight:

I am teaching you new levels of surrender and new levels of trust.

I need you to understand that I am here. I am always here. And, no matter what you do or don't do, I am going to take care of you and yours.

My love for you is not dependent on you making good choices and doing the right thing. My love is not actually dependent on you, at all. My love is a reflection of who I am and cannot be changed as I cannot be changed.

I love you, no matter what. I will help you no matter what. I will be with you, no matter what. I will teach you, guide you, help you to make better choices because that will give you a happier life. I will mature you because that will bring you closer to me. But, I do those things out of my love for you not  in order that I can love you.

Soak in my love.

A choice is coming...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have spent way too much time being miserable, angry and self absorbed in the last several days. I am pretty sick of it.

I thank you for all that you have done in the middle of this mess. I thank you for your love. I thank you that you are always with me. I thank you for keeping things from getting worse than they were. I thank you for bringing me out. We are not quite all the way through this mess, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for your light God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have come to offer you a choice. A choice that can change the course of your life.

One path takes you straight ahead into the future that you are headed towards. The other, is not so clear. It may take you to great adventures and it may not work out. I will always be with you. I will never let you fall but this choice has greater danger and unknowns.

I don't need you to answer now but know the choice is coming and it is coming soon. Be ready to make the  choice. Once it is here, it will not last for long. I love you.

Sin in the sickness...

My prayer:

I HATE SICKNESS!!! It does not belong in your children God. You, Jesus, took it all for us. And it makes me really angry when sickness seems to forget that and gets inside of us.

God, I believe it is your will for us to live in divine health. I believe that any sickness that comes on to us has already been healed by the stripes you took for us. I believe that you are the miracle healing God. I believe it all to very the depth of my soul.

God, I pray that you manifest in me what I know to be true. Dear God make me whole.

What God Said Tonight:

Sickness and death make me furious too. They were never meant to be a part of your existence. I showed Adam and Eve how to prolong life. I showed them favor with their offspring. I continued to grow the family and would have shown them the tree of life for eternal life if we had not had the setback with sin.

Sin is the root of all sickness. Not always your sin, but there is always sin in the sickness. Don't let that sin taint you.

Call out for God...

My prayer:

Dear God, have mercy on me. Help me please.

What God Said Tonight:

I have millions of children but I know you each my name. I have the hairs on your head counted.

When you are in pain, when you are sick, I am with you. I am bringing your healing.

I am not wandering off somewhere because the times got tough. When have you ever known me to run from a confrontation?
