Hallelujah...

My prayer:

Today was good God. It had a little bit of so many things I enjoy. Thank you for the little blessings. I love the big blessings too but sometimes, the little blessings seem to endure longer. With a big blessing, it is amazing when it happens but there is always a let down afterward. With the little blessings, they just seem to stream together and reproduce each other over and over. 

You are such a good God, good Father, good Teacher, good Friend, good Savior, good Creator. I love you now and forever God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have not finished with you. I am not finished with you. I have so much more for you. A time and a place and a moment yet to come that will change the direction for you and so many around you. 

You have sought me. You have found me. You are following me. I will lead you. 

A great gift is coming in the wind. A great moment that will last forever. I have such great plans for you. Trust in me and keep your eyes lifted up. Heaven is on its way to earth and you are here to see it.

Love is the purpose...

My prayer:

Thank you for all of your help today God. You made me a blessing to other people. I love when you do that. I love when you give me those opportunities. 

I am pretty worn out now though and my mind is wandering. Probably a good sign that I need to be listening instead of talking.

What God Said Tonight:

Your blessing is not location specific. It is not specific to circumstances. Your blessing transcends all boundaries because it comes from my love for you and my love is everlasting and all encompassing. 

I will find ways to bless you wherever you are and whatever you are doing. I will find ways to make you a blessing to other people because you are my child. You are a reflection of me on earth. So, as much as I love blessing you, it is with that same love that you bless others. 

The more you bless, the more you love, the greater your life and this world will be. Love really is the ultimate purpose behind everything.

Final form...

My prayer:

My mind is racing with events from today God. Nothing I really need to talk about. 

Thank you for the reminders of the importance of hearing what others have to say. Help me God to find my confidence in you so I am open to others when they are trying to help me to be better. 

What God Said Tonight:

A lot is filing up right now. Filling up in you, in the world. Empty places are being made full and whole. Deficits are being turned into credits. 

I am the God of the impossible and I can make all tings right. I have you carved in my hand and I am not through with you. I am still molding you, shaping you, perfecting you. 

Don't get discouraged that you are not in your final form. It is just not time yet. I am creating you into a very beautiful, strong and complex person. That takes time. Let the time pass while you find your form. 

I love you, now and forever.

Higher level...

My prayer:

Another wonderful day full of great friends, inspiration and relaxed joy. Let's keep these going God! It is great to be able to just enjoy everyday life. 

I thank you for the jump start of inspiration this weekend. I pray for your continued guidance and help to see what the nest steps are. I am excited to see what you have waiting for me.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes, the thing you think is a wall that is blocking your future is actually just a humongous step up. Maybe that "wall " you are staring at is actually a ledge to a higher level. 

Let me lift you up to walk on a new level, a higher purpose, a greater journey. Stop worrying about knocking the wall down and let me lift you up. 

I love you and we are in this together. I will see you achieve all that I have planned for you.

Offence...

My prayer: 

I really love how you always give me exactly what I need when I need it God. Today was full of rest and encouragement. There was the snow too which wasn't so great, but it kept me from wanting to run around doing errands and stuff so it was good in the end!

You are truly wonderful. Your love and care is better than anything in the world or in heaven. Thank you for loving me!

What God Said Tonight:

Each day is anew opportunity to recognize your true self in me. Life is a series of experiences that can lead you closer to me and your true self if you allow it. 

The biggest barrier will be offence and the pain related to offence. If you can find a way to live free of offence, I can show you truly great things. I can show you the true, whole and amazing person you were created to be. And you can be a tremendous, gigantic, wonderful blessing to those around you. 

Walk with my Spirit in you and PLEASE, when offence comes at you, remember it for the weapon it is. Remember that it is a land mine that is trying to take you off of the path to your true self. It is a decoy to get your eyes off of what counts. Let no offence stay in you. It is simply not worth the cost. 

I love you, now and forever.

Waves...

My prayer:

Friday night, nearly May and we have a bit of a blizzard roaring outside. I love when life is unpredictable! 

I don't know what tomorrow will bring God but I know I will face it with you and that is enough. Anywhere with you is better than anywhere without you. 

My thoughts are kind of all over the place tonight God. Flitting around and not settling on any one thing. I feel unsettled. Maybe it is just the odd weather? I am not sure but I think I would be better off listening to what you have to say instead of blathering on with nonsense words and thoughts.

What God Said Tonight:

When it rains it pours. It is a saying but it is true. The happenings of your life, the themes, come at you in waves. Just about the time you think you have handled one, another once comes right behind it. 

The only way you mange the waves is to ride on them. If you sink into them, you will drown. You have to ride on top. The way to get on top is to reach for me. I will lift you up. 

Don't wish for the storms to leave your life. They often bring just what you need. They bring the moisture for the next season. But yo can and should ask for my help to rise above. From up here, the storm does not look so bad. 

I love you and I am with you now and forever.

Stop and listen...

My prayer:

My brain is done for today God. I can't think of a thing worth talking about. But, my ears are always open to hear you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have a lot to say but the time for saying it is running low. It is crossroads time. Time to make choices. Your  choices determine your future. 

Your future is with me. 

Never forget to stop and listen for my voice during the day. 

Wholeness...

My prayer:

A better day thanks to you God. Do we ever get to a point where we are satisfied, no matter the circumstances? Can I ever get to a point where I am so solid in your presence in me that the world, satan, and general nastiness can't reach me? To get to a point where I can say, "I call it all joy." That would be amazing. 

I pray God that you help me to be more aware of your presence in me. Let me feel you, see you, touch you, whatever you will allow God. Your presence in me makes me worthwhile.

I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

A place of wholeness. Wholeness of body, mind and spirit. That is what you seek and that is what you will have. 

I came to make my people whole. 

I came so that you could live. 

I came for you. 

The frustration of waiting...

My prayer:

I am not proud of myself today God. I let anger and frustration get the better of me. I got angry with people I care about. I let stupid things get me frustrated. 

I made apologies God but I need your grace and mercy to cover me and help me to do better tomorrow. 

Thank you Jesus for covering my sin.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on me is never fun, You know to wait, but how long?

There is a little stretch more. Nothing more than you can handle. I am here and with you in this, now and always.

This week...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for your help to see the purpose in this week coming up. Help me to see the opportunities to be a blessing. Help me to see your direction and you plan. 

God, I pray that this not be just an ordinary week. Let this week be extraordinary. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Waves of trouble, pain, joy, blessings they rush in and they rush back out. Yet you still stand firm rooted in me. Your standing, your roots are what keep you from being swept away. 

I won't let go. You are mine and I am yours forever. 

We will walk the path of mercy and grace together. We will see people healed. We will see people saved. We will see the new heaven and the new earth. It may not all happen this week but parts of all of it will happen this week. 

I love you and I am with you.

Unity...

My prayer:

What a wonderful lazy day God. Thank you for the privileged of doing nothing but enjoying life for a day. Life doesn't always allow for that. 

It seems like the theme from tonight was family members in need. I pray tonight for our families. So many people who need healing, direction, financial help, peace and so much more. You created us to be in relationship and our first relationship is usually with our family. I pray that your will be done in our families.

What God Said Tonight:

It's time to realize that your life is not your own and that you are not alone. There is an inter-connectedness within my Kingdom that is very real and permanent. 

I created you for strength and for independence but today is not the day for it. Today is the day of unity. Today is the day of family. Today is the day to come together and speak with one voice and one purpose. 

The coming of my Son is very near. The bride needs unity. Find your commonalities. Find ways to come together.  It is up to you.

Look to God...

My prayer:

My awesome God. Two nights where I was too wiped out to spend this time with you so tonight, before it gets to late, I want to be sure to take the time. I have missed hanging out with you like this.

I am very grateful for all that you did for me this week. It was pretty amazing how you turned everything around. Early in the week, I was pretty discouraged and it seemed like everything was going wrong. But, then you did your thing and turned everything around. I love that about you!

Ok, enough about me. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes life can feel like wearing heavy robes in the ocean. It seems like everything is working against you and trying to drag you down. But, when you look to me, when you lean on me, when you trust me, I can free you from the weigh of the world and let you soar to the surface.

Look to me and let me free you. Let me heal you. Let me lift you up to where you can breath and see the sun again.

I love you and I am always here for you. Just look up.

Choices...

My prayer:

A pretty great end to a pretty crudy day. I don't know why I let the hassles of life get to me. I don't mean to. I don't want to. I tell myself that I won't let it bother me but then suddenly, I am ready to scream with frustration. 

God, I ask for help to keep life in perspective. Help me to remember that you and your Kingdom is what really matters. Help me to remember that to love you and love other people are the two things that I need to do. Everything else is filler. Not important. And, DEFINITELY not worth getting upset about. 

It is all very clear to me right now. Help me to remember it tomorrow and every tomorrow after that.

What God Said Tonight:

Waiting on your promise is a frustrating experience. Knowing there is more but not seeing it is a frustrating experience. 

You have good reasons for being frustrated. But, you are blaming the wrong things for your frustration. Recognize what is blocking you from what you truly want and focus on getting rid of that  obstacle, Or, you can relax and know I am in charge and will work it all out anyway. 

It just depends on how you ant to spend your time. 

I love you and you will fine wholeness either way. 

God's will...

My prayer:

I saw something that shook me out of my complacency tonight God. Sure, we all talk about the end times and the battle but to be faced with such a train with military tanks on it for as far as the eye could see, in the middle of my city...that is not something I expected. That is not something that happens in my protected life. Where were they going? Who were they going to kill? Why, after all of this time, have we not come up with a better way to deal with each other? What does this mean God? With politics so volatile and governments bombing and threatening to bomb each other, what are we supposed to do?

As I write this, it makes me think of all my friends around the world who deal with the actuality of war and the threat of war every minute of every day and night. What I saw today would have barely registered for them. They know the fear of immediate and unexpected violent death. They see the brutality of violence that we perpetrate on each other, every day. Maybe I should ask them what to do, how to respond?

Any way God, I pray for your peace and your return as soon as possible. I don't like it down here without you.

What God Said Tonight:

Wars and rumors of wars. You will hear of them, but that is not the end. 

You know not the day or the hour but you do know that my will reigns. You know that my will is designed for you to be blessed. 

You know my will and my ways and you love me for it.

He did it for love...

My prayer:

What a wonderful day of celebration with you! Nothing I could ever do could come close to being enough of a thank you for what you have done for me. But, "thank you" is what I have, so, Thank YOU Jesus! Your sacrifice and Resurrection made it possible for me to know you. It washed away my sin. It healed me. It gave me everlasting life. It is crazy and wonderful. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Come here. Lay your head on my side. Let me love you. Let me hold you close.

I did it all for love. I did it so that not only could I love you but you could love me back. I did it for moments like this where we can rest in the love between us.

It looks good on you. You are dressed in the glory and love of the Lord. You are surrounded by my love.

You are ready for anything.

Loss...

My prayer:

This was the night when everyone thought you were dead, that all hope was lost. I bet at least some felt foolish for believing you were the Son of God. But it seems like mostly, they were just deeply grieving. 

I have always known the end of the story. I never had to suffer with the thought that you were gone. I have the luxury of always knowing that Sunday is coming, that you came back, that we are saved because of it. 

I can't imagine what it must have felt like to all those who loved you on earth. This night must have been absolute, unbearable agony. 

God, I pray for all those who are suffering from unimaginable loss tonight. I pray for your comfort. I ask that you show them a hope and a future. I pray for your healing power to surround their hearts, minds and spirits and that you make them whole again.

What God Said Tonight:

Great loss is like wandering int he desert with no water. Not only are you depleted and weak but you don't even know where to go to get out. Every direction looks like more desert. 

I am your oasis in the desert. I can meet you at your loss and heal you. I can give you hope for a future. 

I love you and I will heal your loss.

The easiest choice...

My prayer:

Good Friday, what an odd name for the remembrance of the day that you suffered beyond imagining for us. It comes back to that definition of good and bad. The suffering was bad, horrible, unbelievable, however, it resulted in the salvation of human kind. It resulted in the ability for us to be reconciled to you and to have a relationship with you. That is beyond good. That is amazing, incredible, worth more than anything else, ever!

So much of this life is like that. We go through something and it seems horrible but you turn it into something good for us.

So, you were imprisoned, beaten, treated worse than dirt and then killed in the most painful and humiliating way they could think of at the time and we call it Good. I think the next time I am going through something difficult, I will try to remind myself of Good Friday. I think that will help me remember that you will turn everything and anything to my good.

Thank you for being so very GOOD God!

What God Said Tonight:

My gift to you was a reflection of the worth I see in you. My gift was all that I had to give and I did it for you, all that I have wanted. 

I had to make a way for us to be together in relationship. I did not want to live separated from you any longer. This sacrifice, while hard to carry out, was also the easiest choice to make. 

To avoid it, to not do it, meant eternal separation from my children. To do it meant reconciliation with these who were willing. 

I love you enough to give my life. That is the greatest love.

Hereditary love...

My prayer:

Well, it all turned out just like you said it would God. Writing that, I feel foolish. Of course it turned out like you said. You are God. What you say goes!

Thank you for giving me favor with "man" and blessing me with capabilities greater than my own. I got to swim with the big fish this week and because of you, I came out looking really good. Your favor is amazing God. 

Well, there is still a few more days to the week but this weekend, I get to celebrate what you did for us that allows me to know you! Now that should be pretty wonderful. 

What God Said Tonight:

Sit here a minute with me and look out on the world. When I look out, I see so much good. I see children who are loving and caring for each other. I see joy. I see people living for me and in peace. 

I see the other too. I see the evil that is yet to be abolished. I see the pain. I see the struggle. But, in the midst of all of that, there is still love, joy peace. 

That is part of what I love about my children. In the middle of he hardest situations, you find a way to love. If there was ever the need to prove that you are mine, that would be it. It is only my love that endures no matter what. It is my love in you that can shine through no matter the circumstance. 

I find that really beautiful. I love you now and forever my child.

Celebrate...

My prayer:

You are AWESOME! Thank you for how you made the IMPOSSIBLE happen for my friend today!!! You are so amazing! Then, you helped me all day, making me succeed. Thank you is definitely not enough for all you did today God. I wish I had bigger words to tell you how much I appreciate you! I could fill a book with exclamation points and it still would not be enough. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

Celebrate! Tonight is a night for celebration. Evil was pushed back and goodness reigned. 

I love you. I love blessing you. I love being with you. I love talking to you. You are my child and my love. 

I have more for you tomorrow. This blessing rain is not done. Sleep and know that I have more.

The end of healing...

My prayer:

So far so good God. Thank you for your healing power. 

I never fail to be amazed by your kindness to us shown through healing. It is only one of the many gifts you give us but I think it is my favorite. To see someone suffering one minute and laughing the next. To be in agony one minute and free the next. There is very little that compares to that kind of blessing. 

Thank you God for the expression of your love through healing!

What God Said Tonight:

Healing is a joy. But I long for the day when healing is no longer necessary because everyone walks in divine health. 

I long for the day when evil dies and people do not need to be made whole, they already are. I don't mind repair work but how much better when we get to focus on building because nothing needs repair?

I love you, now and forever.

Don't get distracted...

My prayer:

Only you know what this week holds God. I look at it and it seems daunting but then I look at you and I know there is nothing I can't handle with you on my side. Thank you God for always being on my side. Thank you for making me succeed. I am leaning on you Daddy.

What God Said Tonight:

The things that need to happen this week, the things that need to be done are for me to do. Your only job is to follow my lead. We make a great team and I will guide you in every step. Keep your eyes on me, don't get distracted, and we will do great things. 

I love you. I have got you. I will see you succeed.

A beautiful day...

My prayer:

What a great day God. Thank you for every minute of it. Beautiful weather, time to relax, a great bike ride, wonderful friends and great discussion about you. On a scale of 1-10, today was a solid 10! You are so wonderful to me. 

What do you want to talk about tonight? 

What God Said Tonight:

There is not much to say tonight. I had a good time with you today too. 

Some days are truly just about enjoying the little things in life. Other days are earth shattering. But for today, for you, just a beautiful day to enjoy. 

My gifts are abundant but sometimes the most valuable stone means nothing if you don't have peace in your home. 

I am going about things a bit different than I have in past years.

New confidence...

My prayer:

Well I made it God. With your help I made it! Thank you for helping me get it all done. Well, at least enough that I can stop thinking about it for a day or two. 

You always amaze me. I so often look at the mountain in front of me with the absolute knowledge that there is no natural way to get over it. So, I pray, I lean on you and you just carry me right over. You make the impossible possible every day God.

THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Your at the table. I have got you a seat at the table. I want to show you that you have more credibility than you realize. I want to show you your royal heritage. 

You need to understand that your standing in this world and in the next is assured because you are my child and I am in you. You are about to see and experience a new confidence. You are about to understand that your worth is more than you ever realized. 

My child, my priest, my love.

Rain...

My prayer:

I am wrung out God. Today took everything I had to give and then took a bit more. Again, there is more to do than seems possible. I need your help. 

I am so grateful that you are not only there for help with the big stuff of life but for the day to day, keeping up with it all too. You are my everything and I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

It is raining on your life right now. The rain now creates work but it will bring green fields tomorrow. The word, my promises are being grown in you. The ground is fertile and the rain is pouring. 

It will not be long until the harvest. It will not be long before you see the fruit. 

I love you and I am with you. Lean on me in all things and I will take care of you. You are my sweet child and my friend. I will not leave you on your own

Calling on God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Tonight I need to lift up so many friends with so many needs that can only be met by your supernatural intervention. 

I ask for financial provision in my friend's life to pay off the debt that is more than I can help with. I ask for direction and comfort for my friend who keeps thinking he has heard your voice and direction only to have the door slammed in his face. I pray for my friend with the severe knee injury that they say is inoperable. 

God, I ask that you meet these needs like only you can, perfectly and completely. Whatever means you want to use but I ask that you bring the help soon. The situations have reached a level of desperation. 

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

A need is only a need when there is lack. I am the great provider. I will provide for all of your needs out of  my riches and glory. 

There is nothing big enough. strong enough or rich enough to keep me from coming when my children call. 

The right outcome...

My prayer:

My God, you're and awesome God you reign in heaven and earth, with wisdom, power and love my God you're an awesome God. 

How many millions of times have I sung that. It is old but it encompasses so much of you and who you are. You are my awesome ruler. Thank you for being in charge of my life!

What God Said Tonight:

It is not who you know but it is when you know who you know that is important. The right time in the right circumstance are just as important for the right outcome. 

Planned for...

My prayer:

I choose to trust you God. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I choose to trust you. I don't know the next step I should take but I choose to trust you. You have never let me down. You have promised you never will. You make it easy to trust you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have made a way. From the beginning of time, I knew about this day. I knew about you. I loved you from before you were born. I have expected and planned out this time. 

Your trust in me is well placed. You will see great and mighty things in my name. 

Your spirit, your soul and your life are all mine forever and I won't let go. Your body is a temporary dwelling that should be cared for but does not require the same level of importance. 

I love you. I am with you, always. We will see great things together.

Peace out of reach...

My prayer:

Thank you for the opportunities to be a blessing today God. I love when I get to be a part of you blessing people's lives. This life is so tough sometimes. It is fantastic to be a part of making even a small piece not so hard.

I am grateful for the person you have made me into, even with all of my imperfections. As long as I have you in me, I will get to be a blessing and be blessed. That kind of makes it all worthwhile.

What God Said Tonight:

Right now, I have peace all around you. You can see it but it is just out of reach. 

It is like you are standing on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. You can see a peaceful and beautiful beach down below but you can't reach it from where you are. You try to rest where you are but it is not comfortable and you do not get actual rest. 

My peace has not left you. It is around you. Please know that in this time, your place is on the rocks but that will not last forever. There is a time in the near future that I will personally walk you to the peaceful beach. I will hold your hand and lead you there. 

In the meantime, find solace in what you can see, even if you don't feel it right now. You are where I need you. I will take you from it as soon as I can. I love you.

My love...

My prayer:

I just want to rest in your presence tonight God. There is no better place. There is no better feeling than being safe in your love. Let me lie back in your love. I love you so much.

What God Said Tonight:

My love never leaves. My love never hurts. My love never fails. 

My love is something you can trust, now and always. 

My love is perfect. My love is not jealous or mean. It only loves. It does not fear that you won't love me back. My love just loves. 

My love is yours forever.

God shining in my darkness...

My prayer:

Well today sure turned out better than I thought it would! Thank you Jesus! With you God, there is always hope. No matter the challenge, no matter the drama, there is always hope because you are in my life. 

Thank you for being my hope.

What God Said Tonight:

Light is beautiful in darkness. Light in more light is difficult to notice but light in darkness is beautiful and usually welcomed. 

It is easier to notice and appreciate me when I shine in your dankness, in your struggle. When things are going smoothly, you know I am there but I am harder to see. My presence is less obvious. 

Now, I don't expect you to look forward to the struggle because of this. But, it is one way of seeing the struggle in a different way. Every struggle is a chance to really see me shine. 

I promise, it will be beautiful.

God is available...

My prayer:

I just noticed God that we have been talking like this and posting it on line for seven years. That is pretty incredible! I still remember the first night that you led me to do this. I was so nervous. What if no body saw it or cared? What if everybody saw it? I knew I heard from you but I could not imagine why you wanted me to do it.

Now seven years later I have seen you touch hundreds of thousands of people with your words. What a privilege and an honor! 

Thank you for trusting me with this God. Thank you for talking to me always. Your voice in my ear is the sweetest sound I know. 

What God Said Tonight:

Some people don't know. They don't realize that my voice is available to them. My voice, my Holy Spirit, my Son stand in anxious anticipation...

To do list...

My prayer:

Sweet Father, you know the question on my heart tonight. You know the struggle. Help me to see the next step. Help me to see the path. Help me to know what I should do, decide, change. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

When did you decide that your past determines your future. When do you think you stopped following my lead? 

I know your heart. I know your dreams. I know your needs and I will take care of each one. 

You have seen some possibilities but you have not seen all that I have to show you. When the time is right, when the option is right, you will have no doubt. Moving into it will be effortless. 

Keep seeking me. Worry less about what you need to decide or do and take that same energy to stay focused on me. I will show you the way. Nothing needs to change until I change it. Nothing for you to do but to seek my face, keep an ear open to my voice and a heart free to be shaped for my purpose. 

I love you and my plans for you are not complete.

All things...

My prayer:

Thank you for the luxury of rest today God. It is back to work tomorrow. I will need your help making that transition. I pray for wisdom, patience, favor and that general amazing help that you provide.

You are so good to me. I am so grateful for you. Help me to be whatever you need me to be or want me to be tomorrow. 

What God Said Tonight:

I provide for all of your needs out of my riches in glory. I provide for all of your needs. 

As Father, I take care of you. As Savior, I save you. As Healer, I heal you. As teacher, I teach you. As Friend, I comfort you. As God, I create you. 

I am all things to you and for you. My provision never runs out. I am everlasting and all of my gifts for you are out of who I am, therefore, they will never run out. 

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

Imperfect...

My prayer:

Thank you God for being better to me than I am to you. Thank you for thinking of me, loving me, caring for me even when I don't do the same to you. Thank you for forgiving me when I am thoughtless and rebellious. Thank you for loving me when I am at my most unlovable. 

Thank you for being so gracious to accept my meager attempts at worship. Thank you for receiving my love, as imperfect as it is. 

Thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

I never need you to be perfect or even close. I always just need you to be committed to sticking it out with me. 

I will never leave you and as long as you never leave me, all will workout ok in the end. 

I love you now and forever. 

Bruised heart...

My prayer:

I did not do a great job of appreciating this day God. It is hard to come back to everyday life after a week of such great adventure. But, I will do my best to find the joy and adventure in everyday life. I will do my best to maintain an attitude of gratitude. I know it is better for me and it is the least of what you deserve.

I love you God. Thank you for being you.

What God Said Tonight:

Here is the thing though. Everyday life is nothing more than what you make it. I have great opportunities for adventure constantly in front of you. You only need to reach out and grab them. The enemy of joy and adventure is habit.

The enemy of your heart is satan. He beat up your heart. He tried to steal from you. He failed, but the bruise remains. The week of adventure gave time for the bruise to heal but it is not entirely gone. Your feelings today were not just being back home. They were the tender edges of the bruise healing over.

Give yourself the same room and consideration that you give others in grief. I will heal this wound.

Color...

My prayer:

The last night of a week of wonderful experiences. Thank you again God for being so amazing and allowing me this time of healing and rebuilding. I can't wait to see what is next. Thank you for your protection today. Those were some crazy roads we were on! I love you and I am ready for whatever you have next as long as we are in it together.

What God Said Tonight:

This week was to add color to your life. You needed a reminder that there is more to the world than what is in front of your face. 

Thank you for embracing the experience and trusting me through it all. 

I do have plans (you know I always do) and we will see tomorrow together. I love you.

Getting peace...

My prayer:

Awesome God, I am so grateful and so at peace. Your peace with your love is the most beautiful think in the world. 

I pray your peace envelop all of your kids. I pray your peace envelop all of my friends. I pray that your peace reign on this earth. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

My peace I bring to you and my peace, I give to you. Now and always. I am the peace maker. I am the Prince of Peace. I bring peace wherever I am. 

When you need more peace, get more fully into my presence. You will always find it there. When you want peace in a situation, invite me into it. When you need peace for someone else, let them see me. 

I love you.

Treasure...

My prayer:

A life long dream realized today! Thank you God! I feel like I am in a week of blessings and gifts and I am so very grateful! I revel in all that you do for me God.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is filled with patterns and experiences that are both beautiful and useful. 

Treasure you time of peace and blessing. Treasure your time to love and be loved. Treasure those moments that leave you breathless. Use them as a a storehouse of memories when things become more rough. 

Life will throw it all at you. Treasuring these moments help to cushion the blows. 

Treasure me and I will cushion every blow. Treasure me and I will make sure that everything is turned for your good. Treasure me and I will see you win every single time. 

I love you and I treasure you my child.

Beauty for ashes...

My prayer:

I am SO BLESSED!!!! What an amazing day you gave me! What amazing blessings!!! YOU ARE AMAZING! SO much beauty and so much magnificence, Thank you God. I cannot believe your generosity to me!!

What God Said Tonight:

Everything fits together. Everything has its time. You and your life are planned with a purpose. 

Your pain and suffering will be turned into joy, every time. I cannot and will not promise you that this world and this life will not bring you pain. My life on earth brought me pain. How could you experience less than your God? But I can always promise to turn it for your good. I can always promise beauty for ashes. I can always promise that you will never be alone. 

I bring you beauty for ashes today. Tomorrow I bring you great joy. I love you.

Beautiful lights...

My prayer:

Another beautiful day God. Thank you for this gift of time and history and beauty. I can't wait for tomorrow. I pray and ask that you continue to guide us, lead us and protect us. You are so WONDERFUL!!!

What God Said Tonight:

You are a light among lights traveling through the darkness. Your light is beautiful. Your light gains more beauty as it is paired in concert with others. One light alone obliterates darkness around it. Many lights together can create beauty in the darkness. 

Paint this world with light my child.

Belonging...

My prayer:

Thank you for an amazing day in an amazing country. God, I can feel your guidance and direction so clearly on this trip. I am so grateful for you in my life. Thank you. I could never make it without you!

What God Said Tonight:

I love you. I have my arms around you. I will never let you go. You are all mine. Don't doubt for a second that you belong with me and in my purpose. I have you written in my palm and engraved on my heart. 

We are together forever in the magnificence of true love. Be free in my love for you.

Temporary good bye...

My prayer:

Thank you for your peace, comfort and healing today God. This loss hit me harder than I expected but with you, I know the hole will heal. Thank you for amazing friends and family who surrounded me with love and prayers. Thank you most of all for taking care of him in heaven.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not new. It is as old as time. The temporary good bye to those we love. 

I have a promise for you. You will see them again. You will know them in the next heaven and the next earth. Your good bye will not stand forever. It is truly more of an aloha, until we meet again. 

Take comfort in that. Take comfort in knowing that I am taking care of him and he is loving the sunshine in the fields here. The hay is chest high and he is smiling as he looks out over the land. 

Let peace reign...

My prayer:

Guide and direct me Lord. I am on a path I have not traveled before and do not know where to tread.

What God Said Tonight:

You have made your peace. He has made his. Let peace reign. 

Love counts...

My prayer:

Thank you for revelation and breakthrough today God in the lives of people I love! Your blessings and guidance were wonderfully present today. You are wonderful!

What God Said Tonight:

That's the only thing that truly counts. In the midst of competing demands. In the midst of terrifying circumstances. In the midst of everything, the only thing that truly counts is love, our love. 

Everything I have done and everything I do, everything I will do is a direct result of my love for you. Every driving purpose, every joy, every deep meaning in you is because of your love for me. It is the driving force of all that matters. 

If everything else disappeared but our love remained, that would be enough. Rest in my love knowing that my will and my purpose are centered in that love. 

Freedom...

My prayer:

Today was pretty great. Time to rest, time to minister, and you healed that nasty headache that came after me. 

Thank you for your healing power. Out of all of your gifts, that is the one that has been most profound in my life so far. Now, redemption is pretty amazing too, don't get me wrong. But as far as living out this life, your healing (physical, emotional, spiritual) has made all the difference. I am so grateful for your healing power in my life and in the lives of others. I love to watch you heal people. 

You are amazing and I love you A LOT!

What God Said Tonight:

I have come to unlock the locks that keep the chains around you. I have come to set you free. I have a tremendous desire to see you living free in my grace and my mercy.

Targeted by God's love...

My prayer:

What an interesting day God. Thank you for the new insight. I am not completely sure what to do with it yet but I know it is true. I can feel that it is true. Thank you for the guidance, help and peace. 

You are really amazing and I don't tell you that enough. Your love is literally unbelievable. There was that line from the show tonight, "Do you think that I love you so little that I would turn my back on you just because you completely betrayed me? Don't be silly." I could see you so much in that line. 

No matter how much we mess up, your love is bigger. Even we hurt you, your love is bigger. Your love is bigger than I can ever imagine and I am eternally grateful for it.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't give up on love. Never give up on love. Love is the key to everything. 

Love is the key to the future. Love is the key to healing. Love is the key to happiness. Love is the key to joy. Love is the key to success. 

Love gets twisted and contorted on this earth sometimes. But true love, real love, love that is patient and kind, long suffering, that love gives, helps, grows. That love has power that is unparalleled. Love can stop a bullet. 

I love you more than you will ever be able to understand or know. I love you just the way you are. 

My love has targeted you and is coming to surround and fill you. Be ready. Move aside the hurts and the bitterness. Forgive anyone you have not yet forgiven. Make room for the immense love that is coming. If you think of the smallest thing that needs to be laid to rest, now is the time. You will want all of that room for my love.

Prophecy fulfilled...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray your will be done. Nothing more and definitely nothing less. In every situation.

What God Said Tonight:

There is very little left. The time is so short. This isn't a time to get quiet. This is a time to rejoice. The kingdom of me is at hand. 

A generation is about to see the manifestation of centuries of prophecy. Your generation will see things fulfilled that man could not have imaged even thirty years ago. 

You are mine and I am yours. That is forever. I love you.

Designed chaos...

My prayer:

Trying to see things through other eyes and lenses today God. We all have different experiences of life, even we are in the same circumstances. You have shown me, so many times, that what I experience as reality, what I am so sure is true, sometimes isn't. Sometimes, I can think that I understand what is going on and what motives people have. I can be convinced and then later realize I was completely wrong. What is that saying, "The older I get the less I know." I have become acutely aware that my current understanding of reality around me could be very flawed. Actually, in this case, I am counting on it. 

I pray and ask God that you show me the truth of the circumstances around me. Please give me your wisdom, discernment and understanding. Show me where I am getting it wrong. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

A battlefield is a busy place. There is so much going on. It seems like chaos and sometimes it is. But most of the time, their is a design and a plan to the chaos. 

This time, it is your choice, your health, your decision. 

Frustration vs. grace...

My prayer:

Forgive me for my rotten attitude today God. I let frustration get the better of me and it was not fun for any of us. I will try to do better tomorrow. Thank you for always giving me a second chance, even when it is my fortieth second chance.

What God Said Tonight:

Did you know that I am very familiar with frustration. There is nothing more frustrating than knowing that the choices my children make will bring them pain and not being able to to talk them out of it. There is great frustration when I save an entire race of people and instead of being grateful, they turn to other gods the second they have a chance. Frustration is waiting for someone who never shows up. 

But I am also familiar with grace. Grace forgives. Grace loves. Grace makes sure that the other person has their needs met first. 

I love you now and always. Your frustration did not take you from me it brought you to me. I love you. 

God is light...

My prayer:

I have a lot of little thoughts flitting through my head tonight but nothing really worth talking about. Can I listen instead? Can I hang out with you?

What God Said Tonight:

I am light. I shine on things, situations, people and the truth can be seen. I am light that chases away darkness. I am light that wipes away the dirt of life. I bring hope into darkness and joy into sadness. 

I am the God of restoration and redemption. See me as I truly am and the world will make sense, maybe for the first time. 

Don't look to the left or the right. Don't listen to the false prophets when they tell you, 'God is over here or over there.' I am right here  in you and I will teach you of me.
