Shoes...

My prayer:

Thanks for today God. Filled with love and laughter. I would like to have more of those.

But, I have worn myself out completely again and can barely keep my eyes open. Can you speak to me so my last thoughts of the day are your voice?

What God Said Tonight:

Walking in your own shoes can get weary. Walk a bit in someone else's shoes for awhile. It will not only give you compassion for them, it will also give you great appreciation for your own life.

I have given each person all that they need for a full life here on earth. Each of my children have what they need within them. Search it out and you will find it.

The death of worry...

My prayer:

So many details racing through my mind tonight. I am having a difficult time turning the thoughts off.

You are my safe harbor God. You are my protection and covering. You make all things work out for my good.

I choose to lay every worry down in front of you, knowing that you will guide, direct and take care of me. I give them all to you God. Show me what I should do when I should do it.

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I have received your worry and I will shoulder them all. I will not nurse them. I do not intend to allow them to grow.

I intend to see them drown in the sea of my peace. I intend to see them die in the presence of the one who has authority over the world and heaven.

Rest in God...

My prayer:

I am physically tired and tired of listening to my own thoughts. God, let me hear your voice. Tell me anything you want to talk about. Get me out of my own head for a minute.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Shhh. Relax into me. I am here. I am yours.

Let me rock you and sing you to sleep tonight. Rest in my loving arms. Rest in my protection. Rest in the assurance that I have everything under control.

Rest sweet child. I have got you.

Wrong and right...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I pray for your peace and wisdom. I pray for your guidance and help.

I get the definite impression that there are things that are not right God. I pray that you make them right. Change whatever needs to be changed in me. Show me what to do or not do. I pray your will is done on earth as it is in heaven. In this situation as it is in heaven.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I have much yet to show you.

Some things need to be unsettled for a period of time. Some things need to be "wrong" for a period of time in order to encourage the right into place.

My will is sometimes hard to understand until it is done. My will can sometimes seem disruptive. I can't promise you smooth sailing.

I can promise you that I will never leave you. I can promise you that I can give you peace in the middle of any battle. I can promise you that everything works out for your good in the end.

You are my child and I am always on your side.

Love and compassion...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for a spirit of love and compassion to blanket the body of Christ tonight.

Fill us with a capacity to love each other, no matter what. Fill us with compassion for the struggles that those around us are dealing with.

Help us to care as much about each others' needs as we do about our own.

In Jesus name I ask it.

What God Said Tonight:

I have anointed you for peace and for joy. I have anointed you to share my word and my love.
I have filled you with my Spirit to help and guide you.

I have loved you like no other.

When you receive all that I have already given you, you will see the love that you desire. It is truly all around you.

The power of love...

My prayer:

Thank you for today God and all that you did. Thank you for your everpresent presence. Thank you for reminding me throughout the day that you were with me. Thank you for your help in getting enough done that I can rest tonight.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

We walked the day together with grace and love. You have seen the power of my grace. You have felt the power of my love.

People waste their time looking for power in weapons and violence. True power comes from love.

True power is evident in the release of someone from bondage. There is more power in releasing them than there was in capturing them. There is more power in forgiveness than there is in vengeance.

God's timing...

My prayer:

So, I did not realize when you told me last night that you were going to teach me to wait, that the lesson would start today. I spent the whole day, just missing connections and having to wait.

I can't say I didn't get frustrated, I did. But, I did try to remember that you were in charge. I tried to remember to face each challenge by putting you first. I tried and sometimes succeeded.

I hope I don't have to have too many more days like this one though. It will be nice to going back to the days where you work everything out and I am walking in your favor.

What God Said Tonight:

I was with you all day. I was working it all out. Not in your expected timing, but I was working it all out.

I saved you from worse than a little irritation. I saved you from grave consequences that you could not see.

My timing is not always about what happens. It is often about what does not happen.

I love you and I will never leave you.
