Love right here...

My prayer:

Life is kicking my butt these days. I get to the end of the day and I am completely spent. I am grateful that I get to the end of the day before I am wiped out but it doesn't leave much for our night time talks. 

So, i don't have much left in me but I can always listen and I crave your voice. Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

I will love you right where you are. I will love you just as you are. I don't need a lot of trimmings. I don't need a lot of fuss. I will love you right now, even with your failings. Even with your sin. I will love you. 

Stranger in a strange world...

My prayer:
Seeking truth. Seeking wisdom. Seeking guidance...seeking you God. 

I have this feeling that there is something just outside of me reach, outside of my vision, that is about to fall on me. It is a sense that something is very not right. I have no idea what it is and that makes it more nerve wracking. 

Is this just my imagination or is your Holy Spirit trying to help me? 

Seeking truth. Seeking wisdom. Seeking guidance...seeking you God. 

What God Said Tonight:

Everything is off. Nothing is right. At least, not the way I originally planned. 

You are a stranger in a strange world and that world will always seem strange to you. I only worry when the world stops seeming strange to you. That is when you have assimilated to a point where your purpose and your origin are lost. 

I have you strategically placed. I guide your life. You will always have everything you need to handle anything that comes your way. You have the God of all creation on our side. There will be things in your life that surprise you. Good surprises and not good surprises. But none of them are surprises to me. None of them are beyond my ability to respond. And, you have me in you so none of them are beyond your ability to respond. 

Stick with me and we can and will handle anything that comes your way. Don't worry one more second about the future. I have already been there and everything works out for your good. I love you.

Choose...

My prayer:

So much noise God. So many voices, images, messages. So many that are not from you. My ears are tired. My mind is tired. My soul is tired. 

God, let me hear your voice and drown out the noise.

What God Said Tonight:

Much of what you hear, you have chosen to hear. You have opened your ears to hear from the world and when you do, the world will talk. 

Listening to me requires the same type of choice. 

Sit down and make a choice, what voice will you listen to tonight. Who will capture your attention. The voice of he world is seductive. Choosing it is easy. 

My voice brings life. 

Choose.

Never alone...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray for restoration. I pray that tonight is the last night of this particular struggle. I ask for rest and restoration like only you can give. 

I feel like a wimp. I feel like I should be stronger and able to handle this. But, the simple truth is, I need your help. As always. 

Thank you for being my ever present help.

What God Said Tonight:

Who told you that you had to face struggles alone? Who told you that you had to survive on your own strength? It wasn't me. I never meant for you to face any struggle alone. I never meant for you to be alone. 

I am here, now and forever. I am by your side and lifting you up. I will not see you destroyed by this or by any other attack. 

satan thought he was being clever. He thought he could use the breakthrough I was teaching you against you. Well, he tried but I turned it for your good. I used it to take care of some other things at the same time. 

Yes, you are tired and worn out and that will pass. You have been through more than you realize. Trust in me and stop fearing what is coming next. I am with you. I will protect you. I love you. 

Worry disintegrating...

My prayer:

Today was pretty fun God! The snow was a bit unexpected being that it is mid-May but you kept it from piling up around here which I really appreciate. Maybe this can be the end of the snow for this season? (she said hopefully...)

But, if the weather is the only thing I have to complain about at the end of the day, that is a pretty good day!

I love you. Thank you again for your healing power. Thank you for how you take care of me. 

What God Said Tonight:

Peace, be still, I am here. Rest in my presence. Rest in my love. 

Let every worry disintegrate in my presence. Let every need wither away in my provision. Let every dream grow in my hope and inspiration. 

I love you and I am the substance, the soil for your growth. Grow in me and your produce will be incredible. I love you. 

When God doesn't speak...

My prayer:

Well, I am not sure I did what you wanted me to do but I did the only thing I thought I could. You seemed ok with it but it was pretty vague. I like it much better when you get super obvious and tell me just what I should do, like our walks where you tell me, 'turn left' and 'turn right'. Today it was just that you did not stop me. I asked for you to stop me if it was not your will and you did not. 

So, as I say, I hope I got it right. What I do know is that you turn everything for my good. So, even if I got it wrong, I thank you in advance for turning it for my good. 

I am yours. I am grateful to be yours. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

You see the light on the horizon. You see the morning sunshine. Where there is light, I am there. Follow my light through life. Let my light and my peace be your guide. If you are in darkness, that is not my will for you. If you are in confusion, that is not my will for you. 

Follow the light and the peace and find my will for you. 

I did not need to direct you today because you were headed in the direction I had for you. The only time you need to be told which direction to go is when you are going in the wrong direction. When you are on my path, you don't need me to tell you to keep going. You will naturally move forward. 

I love you.

An ear to God...

My prayer:

I am out of answers God. I know you are trying to show me something but I do not know what it is. I ask for wisdom God. Help me to see what you want to teach me. Show me what you want me to do next. I don't have any guesses left.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you. I have the situation in hand. You have not run out of time. The answers, the next steps are coming, in the right time. 

Keep an ear to me, keep an open heart, I will show you the next step. It is not as bad as you fear. 

I have something to show you. Something pretty amazing. This is only one step in it. 

I love you and you are not alone. You are not abandoned. You are mine and I am yours.
