Learn...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God for your help today. Thank you for the reminder of what my job is, and what it isn't. When I simply focus on what you tell me to do, everything else falls into place. It seems so obvious and yet, how many times have you taught me the same lesson? I have lost count. 

Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your instruction. Thank you for your love.

What God Said Tonight:

Oh, sweet daughter. It does not matter how many times you learn a lesson. What matters is that you learn. 

I love you and I will never leave you. I will always guide you and help you. You just need to calm your mind enough to hear my voice and feel my guide. I am always here. I am always guiding you. I will never let you down. 

Listen, get quiet and listen. 

I love you now and forever my child.

Comfort and peace...

 

My prayer:

Thanks for such a truly good day God. There was fun and there was rest and there was productivity, it was just a good day. And, it let me get my thoughts off of the stress of the week, which made it a REALLY good day! 

You are so wonderful to me God. You always make sure I have everything I need when I need it, even when I don't know what that is at the time. I love you with everything I am.

What God Said Tonight:

I bring you comfort, my child. There are times you need grace. There are times you need mercy. But there are times where what you really need is comfort and peace. That is my gift to you this day. 

Comfort and peace can fuel you for the challenges of tomorrow. Tonight, rest in them and let them fill you up. 

I love you now and forever my child.

An eye on the future...

 

My prayer:

Amazing God. Thank you for all of your help this week. The challenges have not been less but the stress and worry have been much less. Your peace has surrounded me and kept me centered. It is a much better way to live. 

I worship you Lord. I give you all glory and honor. I wait upon you and your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

There are many millions of people in this world and every one of them is precious to me. I built this home for my children. I built it with great dreams of the future. 

I still see that future. That future where we live together on earth in joy, peace, and prosperity, is still real and will happen. We have some times to get through first but the struggles of today do not eradicate the dream of tomorrow. 

I love you my child and our future is beautiful. 

Keep an eye on that future when today gets to be a bit too much to deal with. It can be your beacon, your light on the horizon that will guide you through the storm. I love you now and forever my child.

Conduit of blessing...

 

My prayer:

Thank you for everything this weekend God. Thank you for the fun, the relaxation, the rest, and mostly for the insight. 

It is always so easy to let those negative voices, to let the enemy convince me that I am not enough. That I am not doing enough. That I am not good enough. Thank you for reminding me who I am in you and all that you have done through me. I needed the reminder.

You are amazing.

What God Said Tonight:

There are many things in life that have more than one purpose and usefulness. You are one of those things. 

I have called you to different ways of fulfilling your purpose over time. The core is always the same. I will bless people though you my daughter. It is the call on your life. I will find many ways to do it. 

Be my conduit of blessing. Be open, hear me when I point something out. If you are doing that, there is no end to what we can do together. 

I love you now and forever my child.

How to fight...

 

My prayer:

Thank you God for all of your help this week. Sitting back and letting you take care of it all was truly wonderful advice. There is more. Not everything is resolved. But I am at peace in knowing you will take care of it. 

There are times in this life when it is good to fight and other times when it isn't. I am not very good at recognizing the difference. Thank you for pointing it out to me. 

I love you now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

There are many ways to fight. Sometimes you fight with aggression. Sometimes you fight with omission. Sometimes, if you don't show up for the fight, there is no fight.

I am your God of peace. I bring peace with me wherever I am and I give of it freely. A conflict, a problem, is nothing more than an opportunity for my peace and my love to show themselves triumphant. 

Quicksand...

 

My prayer:

Awesome God. I really struggled again today. I am feeling so defeated and beat down. I know it is me, it is my attitude that is the problem. I know things are not any worse than they were a week ago. But, I am struggling to feel your peace. I am struggling to see the path forward. I am struggling to love others in the way I know you want me to in the midst of my own frustration. 

I pray for your help God. I don't know how to change this but I know you do and you can. I leave it in your hands Father.

What God Said Tonight:

You are caught in the quicksand. The more you struggle, the deeper you go. Stop fighting. It is not helping. Lay flat and trust me to keep you afloat. 

This is a temporary challenge. This is not going to last. This is the time for you to lay back and trust me to work it all out. 

I love you sweet daughter and I know you like to stand and fight but in this case, in this time, that will not get you through. That will only make you sink farther. Trust me to bring you out of this one.

Pace...

 

My prayer:

What a whirlwind of a week Lord. Thank you for your guidance, protection, and favor throughout the week. You are amazing. I ask for rest and restoration this weekend. I pray that you refill me with your peace and your joy.

What God Said Tonight:

It is about pace. There is the pace of the world and then there is the pace of your soul. These can be very different. 

It is time to settle back into the pace of your soul. 

The week was a time to visit in the pace of the world but that time is over. Settle into the pace of your soul. Allow the rushing thoughts and external pressures to roll off like the rain off of a turtle's shell. 

I love you my daughter. Lean against me tonight and let me soak up the stress and pressure from you. Sink back into my rhythm.
