Hidden blessing...

 

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Thank you for the blessings and help today. Sometimes it really is just about putting one foot in front of the other and trusting you to work out the details. I am choosing every day, every minute and sometimes every second, to trust you. And every day, every hour, and every second, you come through. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

The flowers of Spring are on their way. You may only see the occasional bit breaking through the ground but they are there and ready to spring forth. 

You can't always see the blessing that is waiting for you. You may see a hint but you can't truly know the beauty and glory I have for you. 

Trust in the season, trust in me, and I will show you great beauty. I love you my child.

In His presence...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for a pretty wonderful day. This was one of those days where just being alive was a joy. Thank you for all of the joy you bring to my life. The peace you bring is pretty wonderful too, but days like today are just pure joy.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you now and forever my child. There is peace in my presence. There is joy in my presence. There is healing in my presence. When you stay in my presence, my gifts just do not stop. 

I am with you to guide you through the hard times but I am also with you to celebrate on days like today. 

You are where you need to be and I will bless you in it. 

The good news...

 

My prayer:

I love all you are teaching me right now God. I wish I was a better student. I wish I didn't need you to show me over and over a better way to live. But it is like Paul said, I find myself doing the very thing I hate. 

I pray for your continued healing and help to shape me into the person you would have me to be.

What God Said Tonight:

The ravages of sin truly take their toll my child. Your sin, yes, and the sins of those around you. They create deep wounds that take time and treatment to heal. 

The good news is I bring not only forgiveness of those sins but also healing from the wounds. I am your complete package and I will provide you with all that you need. 

Each day is a step and each day there is more to learn. I will guide you through. 

Victory...

 

My prayer:

You bless me like crazy God and you always come through for me. THANK YOU for this most recent example of that. I can never thank you enough. You are a continual blessing in my life and I love you more than I can ever say.

What God Said Tonight:

I love you my child. It is never any more or less than that. I love you now and forever and I will never let you down. Your trust in me will never be wasted or proven wrong. 

It is true, I have told you, I have taught you about the dangers of saying never and for you, that is true. But I know the beginning and the end and I can say with confidence, I will never let you down. 

We will celebrate this victory together and we will rejoice for many years to come. 

Child of my heart...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God, sweet Jesus, saviour. It is the night before we celebrate your resurrection. The night before the whole world changed. The night before you defeated death for our sake. There is no way to adequately recognize the significance of what you did for us. I remain in awe of your love for us and your sacrifice. I remain in awe of you.

What God Said Tonight:

A representation, a celebration, is never meant to equal the original event. A birthday is a celebration of your birth but never equals the joy experienced on the day of your birth. 

There is no pressure and no expectation of this celebration. It is enough that we spend the day together. It is enough that we remember together the culmination of our love. 

You are the child of my heart and I love you more than I loved life. 

No surprise...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for covering me today God. There were many times today that things could have easily gone a different direction and ended very badly but in each case, you covered me, you bailed me out, you turned things around for my good. You are amazing, thank you.

What God Said Tonight:

Never be surprised by my grace in your life. It is there for you always. I have covered you in the blanket of my salvation and that covers all matter of sin. 

I know your heart. I know your intentions. I am forever on your side. 

A team of one does not get very far but a team of two, or three can achieve anything. I love you.

Break down the walls...

 

My prayer:

Mighty and awesome God. The privilege you give us to come to you, just as we are, covered in the blood of Christ is pretty unbelievable. I have known you most of my life and I can take it for granted sometimes. You are always with me and that makes it easy to forget what a privilege that is.

For some reason, tonight, it is clear to me, it is new again and I am so grateful. Thank you Jesus, Father, Holy Spirit. There is no gift like you presence. Thank you for letting me be here with you.

What God Said Tonight:

A lot of things happen and they build upon each other until you suddenly have a wall, when all you started out with were a couple of bricks. 

I am here to break down those walls. I will break them to pieces because they are keeping you from all that I have for you. They were built over many years but I will bust them apart, into dust, in one moment. It will be as though they were never there. 

I have a life of freedom planned for you and there is no place for walls in that life. I love you my child. Be free in me.
