God hears...

My prayer:

Awesome God. There are so many people who need your help tonight, I kind of don't want to take up your time with any minor thoughts or issues I have going on. I pray God that you hear your people's cries for help tonight and that you show up in a very real and tangible way in their trouble.

What God Said Tonight:

Heaven here on earth. It happens more often than you might realize. Every time a prayer goes up, an angel comes down. Every time a prayer is said, I hear, I respond. 

I have the Holy Spirit with you so there is no separation between us in these times of trouble. I have the angels watching over you. 

I have more to do, If I did not, there would be no need to delay another minute. But in these times, be assured I am with you, I hear you, I will respond. Sweet children, I am yours and you are mine forever. 

Not too late...

My prayer:

Remembering big dreams tonight God. When I look at my life it is strange. In some ways, it is so much more than I ever imagined. I have seen things, done things, gone places, that I never once imagined. Then, I think of the dreams that have not yet come true. 

Are they still possible? Is it getting too late? I believe those dreams were directly from you and so I think they must happen some day but it has been such a long time, it is hard to keep believing they will.

Regardless of what life has for me, as long as you are with me, that is all that really matters. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I can make miracles in the blink of an eye. There is no "too late" with me. Your life has barely begun. You have an eternity with me. These mere decades are barely the start. 

I have things for you that you have not imagined yet. I have glory to show you that will leave you breathless. I love you and we are not done yet.

Everlasting life...

My prayer:

Lifting up my awesome Lord tonight. Praying you get everything you need and want God. Praying that your will is fulfilled. Praying that there is nothing missing and nothing lacking for you. I love you and pray that you get your heart's desire!

What God Said Tonight:

We have died and been resurrected together. As you are in me and I am in you, therefore when I died, you died with me and when I rose, you rose with me. 

There is no death that can touch you now. Your life is everlasting with me. We are in an never ending embrace that will outlast the stars. 

I love you. I choose you. I surrender my grace to you.

Reminder...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have spent all day trying to clarify muddy communication between people. If there is anything you want to say, I am here to listen but I am out of words. I have used them all up today.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you. I absolutely love you. 

I love you in your success and I love you in your defeat. I love you when you love me and I love you when you don't. 

I love you. Don't forget. I will always love you. 

Crisis...

My prayer:

I am worn out by life tonight God. So much tragedy with so much inspiring love and support. 

That is one thing about a natural disaster whether it is a flood or an earthquake or whatever, while the disaster is horrible, watching people come together to help each other restores my faith in us humans. 

Wouldn't it be great if we did not have to wait for a crisis and we just lived our lives that way, grateful to be alive and thinking, how can I help someone else. That would be amazing if we could all find a way to live like that! 

God, I pray that the compassion we feel when someone is in tribal be present every day, in crisis and out.

What God Said Tonight:

A crisis today is a memory tomorrow. Do not let the tragedy worry you. It is fleeting and an opportunity for God's grace to come in. 

The chance...

My prayer:

I am not in much of a talking mood tonight God but I am always in a listening mood with you. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

I am not blind to the suffering that is in this world. I don't take it lightly. I don't ignore your pain. The pain of this world, the pain in your life wounds me more deeply than you can know. 

I did not intend for the world to be as it is but I am diligently working to see it put right. It is not an easy or simple thing. Getting everyone in place and at the right time. Making sure everyone gets a choice. Seeing that no one is left behind, except of their own choosing. That takes time and effort. 

I love you enough to make the world wait for you to decide to come with us. I love each of my children enough to make sure they have that chance. 

God with me...

My prayer:

Thank you for a really great day God. Beautiful weather, a great bike ride, good food, a great book and time to enjoy it. Sometimes it really is the simple pleasures that make life worthwhile.

Thank you that you are always with me, in good times and in bad. Thank you for always taking care of me. I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I have walked so many miles in the shoes of those I love. I hurt when you hurt and I laugh when you laugh. 

I can't promise you a life without pain, without struggle. That is a byproduct of this world that has been damaged by sin. I can promise that no matter what is after you, no matter what the struggle, no matter how deep the pain, I will be right there with you. I will make a way out for you. I will heal the hurt and I will build you back stronger. 

I love you. I love you. I love you.
