Journey...

My prayer:

WOOHOO! We made it! Thank you for all of your help today God. I could not have done it without you. 

I am so grateful for you in my life. You make me so much better, stronger, kinder, smarter, and successful than I could ever be on my own. Being your kid has some pretty awesome benefits.

How was your day? What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I am taking you on a journey that will go through deep tunnels and majestic peaks. You will look out at times and think, "This is so wonderful, I can't believe I am here." You will look out at other times and think, "This is so awful, I can't believe I am here."

Through it all, never lose sight that we are moving forward. Through it all, never lose site that I am driving the train and have a destination in mind. 

The journey seems to take up all of your awareness at times but remember there is a destination and a purpose to the trip. I love you.

Tides...

My prayer:

What an awesome day God. Thank you for the lives that you touched and the people you healed. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of seeing you wrap your love around people. Your anointing was so palpable. I absolutely loved it!

Tomorrow it is back to work. I pray for the strength and stamina to make it through the day without setting back the recovery at all. As you have done so many times before, as my strength wears out, yours comes in and gets me through. 

Have I told you lately how much I love you? You are my everything.

What God Said Tonight:

Each day is like the beach shortly after the tide has gone out. Everything is new. Some is expected. You always have sand and kelp. You always have some rocks and some shells. But sometimes the tide leaves big surprises as well. Some good, some rotten. 

Life is like this. Each day is new with some things expected and some that are not. Just because you have seen the tides of yesterday does not mean you know what the tide will leave for tomorrow. 

Remember to approach each day with he expectation of greatness. I am in you and when that is true, anything is possible. I love you and I have great surprises for you. Look to your new day with joy and expectation.

God's view...

My prayer:

There are moments in life that when I am anticipating them, I can't imagine getting through them. Those are almost always the moments that when they occur, I am shocked at how quickly and easily they are resolved. 

It seems to me that as long as I wait on your timing, everything works out exactly as it is meant to. The waiting for your timing can take years and even decades but when it is right, all I have to do is sit back and watch you take care of it. 

I guess there is a decision point in there for me. I have to recognize your timing. But, honestly, the only way I know if I understood your timing correctly is by seeing the outcome. 

I am a novice at this thing called life God. Thank you for your patience, your teaching and your help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a better view of the landscape than you do. I see the end from the beginning. I see a far bigger picture than you can. That vision allows better understanding of timing and solutions to the daily challenges. 

I don't expect you to have my vision I just ask you to trust that I have it and I will help you with it. 

I love you and I will see you ushered through this life an into eternity in my Kingdom with grace and beauty. I will see you fulfilled and whole. I will see you, now and forever, as wholly and completely mine own.

Wholeness...

My prayer:

What a WEEK God! We had joy, peace, fun, beauty, insight, intense pain, surgery, and miracles! Who ever said that living a life for God was boring? I need to talk to them and explain a thing or two! :)

Thank you for everything this week God. I pray for your continued guidance and healing. I pray for  your strength in me. 

Thank you for being my God and for loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

I believe I mentioned that you would gain great insight this week. I know it was dramatic but it was time to make some big leaps forward. 

Your trust and attention in this time was just what we needed. Rest and see your wholeness rise up in me. 

I love you.

Rest and revelation...

My prayer:

Well I made it through this day God, thanks to you. It was a tough one. The best part is, we are now on vacation time! 

I pray and ask for your traveling mercies. Guide us, direct us, be with us, show us what you want us to see. I ask for a continued hedge of protection around us. 

You are my everything. Can't wait to spend some quiet time with you away from the craziness of the world. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

This is a time of rest but it is also a time of revelation. I want to show you somethings and teach you somethings during this time. 

Don't forget to take some time each day to just listen. I will be speaking, I will be teaching. There is much that I have to show you to prepare you for the next season. 

So, rest, have fun, but take time for me each day. Love you.

Seeking God at all times...

My prayer:

Thank you for guiding my steps, thoughts and words today God. I think you kept me from making what could have been big mistakes. Life is so much easier when I listen to you. I hope I get better at always listening and following your guidance. 

Sometimes, throughout the day, I don't realize it is you speaking until it is too late. Other times, I think I hear you but I doubt and miss the opportunity. When I take the time, like now, to really listen, everything seems so much clearer. I would like that same level of clarity throughout the day.

I pray and ask for better discernment in the day-to-day moments of each day. 

What God Said Tonight:

I speak to you in the quiet times and I speak to you in the roar of life. My voice does not change. Your listening changes. 

Learning to diligent seek me at all times is not easy. It is a discipline. It takes effort and commitment. I can show you. I can show you the surrender needed. It is not easy. But I can show you. If you want. 

The surrender is a place of vulnerability and trust. It is also a place of certainty and peace. Dependence on me is strength. Surrender to me is freedom. Loving me is joy. 

I am here, speaking, all of the time. Surrender to my voice and trust me to be God, 

Right where you are...

My prayer:

Let's do something God. Let's go somewhere. Let's bless some people. Let's see a new corner of this world. Let's go somewhere and do something that matters.

What God Said Tonight:

Your blessing goes with you. You can find people to bless every time you get out of bed. Bless people right where you are. I have planted you there because I need people around you to see you, know you, trust you and come to me with your life as the example. 

We can go anywhere, and we will go many places. But, don't forget, I have a purpose and plan for your life and much of that is for the place I planted you with the people I have planted you with. 

Don't let your wanderlust keep you from seeing the blessing and work right in front of you.
