Life doesn't make sense...

My prayer:

Thank you God for showing me tonight the next level of healing that you want to take me to. I am a little afraid but confident that you will walk me through it gently, as always. I am ready if you are. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

You and your life are not programmed. Not everything is going to fit into a nice logical box. People are not that way. Sometimes you and your life are messy and you don't make sense and that is completely normal. 

I don't make sense most of the time. You read my word, you know, I don't always take the logical route. As a matter of fact, more often than not, I do the exact opposite of what is logical. 

Stop trying to figure me out and just spend time knowing me and getting to know me. I will heal you. I will guide you. I will give you wisdom and direction. 

I love you even when you don't make sense. 

Healing wounds...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a wonderfully relaxed and laid back day. Thank you for working out the timing of everything today. Thank you for being in charge. You are amazing and every day with you is better than the ones before.

God, I pray and ask for direction and purpose. Show me what you are doing and how I might be able to be a part of it. 

LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

I am healing wounds right now. I am going around the world, seeking out my children, and healing their wounds. 

I need my children strong. A time is coming where they will need every bit of their strength and wholeness to stand in the face of the enemy. That time is nearly here. The only way they will make it is if I heal their wounded hearts minds and bodies. 

So, that is my focus right now. That is where and how you can help or be a part of it. Focus your efforts on helping people, and yourself to receive the healing that I have. It is here and it is complete. It only takes a willing heart to receive it. 

Show people my grace and mercy. Love people when they are unlovable. Help them receive what I have for them. All the while, letting me heal you too. 

I love you daughter. The plan and purpose is not complicated but it is vital.

Torrent of living water...

My prayer:

God, I pray for strength, endurance, purpose, peace, joy, health, wisdom, and favor...for all of us. God, I want it all. I want all that you have for me. I want life to vibrate with your presence and purpose.

Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

Living waters are rushing toward you. You have been living in a drought, in a desert. But that time is coming to an end. 

Living waters that will never leave you thirsty again are rushing toward you in a torrent. Hold on just a moment longer. They are so close. I have sent them so long ago. I sent them as soon as I knew your need. It has taken time and effort for them to get to you but they are almost here. 

Get ready for a season of overwhelming floods of favor, grace, mercy, and joy. Your time of drought is come to an end.

God's will planted in you...

My prayer:

Thank you God for favor and for your healing power. You are amazing and I remain in awe of you!

I ask that your will be accomplished, always, forever and everywhere. Your will is ALWAYS best.

What God Said Tonight:

My will is present in you. I created you out of my will. I planned your purpose out of my will. My will is the substance and the light that directs and keeps you going. You are my child and my will is living and active inside of you. 

I have my will planted within you for a very good reason. It is the easiest and most comprehensive way to bless you. When you have the will of God written on your mind and planted deep within your soul, everything you touch will be blessed and every situation will turn around to bless you. 

I have planted my will in you for your benefit. I have loved you for my benefit.

I have you...

My prayer:

God, I break the assignment of the enemy off of my life, in Jesus name. I loose your assignment onto my life. In Jesus name.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you, in my hands, in my purpose and in my will. I have you in my heart and in my mind. I have you as my child and as my love. I have you as my bride. 

I have you and you have me. For now and forever, I have you and you have me and nothing could be better. Nothing could be more important. Everythig else falls into place because of your right standing with me. 

I have you.

Your testimony...your purpose...

My prayer:

I am feeling a little a drift and confused tonight God. I am so grateful for the rest this weekend. I REALLY needed it. But now it has me wondering, where are we headed? Am I still on your path or has life gotten so crazy that I got off track? 

Truly, I have just been trying to keep up lately. Putting one foot in front of the other and trying not to disappoint anyone or you too much. But, that is really a poor way to live. 

Now that I have made it through that crazy time, I want to be sure I am on your best path for my life. I want to be sure that my life has purpose. I want to be sure I am available for what ever you would like for me to be doing. So, what is next?

What God Said Tonight:

What if my purpose for your life was to get through this last season, hanging on to me, trusting me to bring you through? If that was the purpose, how did you do? 

Truth is, I can use anything, anywhere at any time in your life to fulfill my purpose and therefore fulfill your purpose. Your life, your experiences, your heart, your mind, they are all a part of your testimony. And, your testimony is what brings more of my children home to me. 

Your testimony is your purpose. and, your testimony is all of your life, not just the parts that fit nicely into a scripture or bible study. I can use it all, the good the bad and the ugly. I especially like using the ugly. Those are the parts that really connect with my lost kids. 

I love you sweet daughter, now and forever. Your purpose is broader than you realize. Just live, with me, that is enough.

Finding joy...

My prayer:

So many needs God, spoken and unspoken. So many of us who need your help to get through this life. So many challenges. So many battles. And yet, in the middle of it all, there is your joy and your peace that spring up and remind us why it is all worth it. 

God, I pray and ask that you show each of us tonight, I little bit of that silver lining that you are so good at. Remind us of your joy. Sometimes we need your help to remember.

What God Said Tonight:

My joy surrounds you. My joy is in you. My joy is waiting to be discovered by you. 

You will find my joy in worship. You will find my joy in prayer. You will find my joy when you enter into my presence. 

If you are missing the joy in  our life, spend more time with me. If you are feeling like there is no joy, take a minute and let me fill you with my joy. I have plenty and I never run out. I will pour out joy on your life. Come, be in my presence so you can receive it. 

Rest assured...

My prayer:

I pray and ask for rest, restoration and healing God. I need you mind, body and spirit. 

What God Said Tonight:

Rest by the fire I have made for you. Rest in my arms. Rest in the assurance that I will provide all that you need. Rest in the assurance of the healing power in you. Rest in the assurance of my love for you. 

Rest assured, I have it all taken care of and I am still in charge, working everything to your good. 

Love you anyway...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I apologize for not meeting you here last night but thank you for meeting me where I was. While I often don't have enough (energy, joy, knowledge, grace, mercy, forgiveness, etc.) within myself, you always have enough for the both of us.

I love you and thank you so much for bringing me through this day. I am anxiously looking forward to the sabbath with you this weekend and in the meantime, I will find rest in you.

What God Said Tonight:

I am concerned for you because I care for you. Not just that I care about you, but it is my role, my duty and my pleasure to care for you. 

I have and understand your needs. I have and understand your wants. I understand where you are weak and where you are strong. I understand who you are and who you will be. And, with all of that understanding, I love you more than you will ever know. 

I know the very core of you and I love you more than you can imagine. I will never be surprised by your "failures" and I will never be disappointed. I know all there is to know about you and I am head over heels crazy in love with you. 

My child, my own. My love will never change. My love will never diminish. My love is the one thing that you can ALWAYS count on. Now and forever.

Life is like a stencil...

My prayer:

Holy Father. I am truly yours, without reservation and with no second thoughts. Your presence is the most wonderful place in the world. Your love is the greatest of all experiences. Your joy makes everything better. 

I love you. I love your strength. I love your gentleness. I love your mercy and your grace. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes life is like a stencil, covering up much of what is underneath but showing the beauty in the patterns of what is visible. 

I see it all and I can guide you through the blind spots. I can show you the beauty. I can be the master artist in your life, creating beauty and joy. 

You have to want it. You have to believe. The rest is up to me. 

I will bring more beauty in your life. I will bring more joy in your life. I will bring more purpose in your life. No longer will you wonder what your purpose is. No longer will you wake up in the  morning and wish you hadn't. I am bringing great purpose and joy to your life.

I am all yours, now and forever.

Survival...

My prayer:

Sweet Father. Getting to the end of this day is a miracle. Getting up in time for and getting through tomorrow is my hope. It seems a little pitiful that just surviving is the goal right now but it is what it is. Thank you for helping me survive. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Survival is not such a pitiful goal. I need you for many things yet on this earth and to accomplish them, you must survive this current battle. 

In the battle, I will bless you. On the other side of the battle you will be stronger and more prepared for what comes next. But, right now, lean on me and get through each day. I will see you through. I will work everything for your good. Lean on me and survive. 

I love you sweet child of mine.

Habit of thankfulness...

My prayer:

Thank you God for doing your time stretching thing with today. I was able to get a lot done, have some fun, and rest, which did not seem possible when I looked at the "to do" list this morning. 

Thank you for healing two of my friends this weekend. Your healing power always leaves me in awe. Thank you for being you and for loving me. Really, that is the key to everything else. Because you are you and because you love me, my life is pretty amazing. 

Sometimes I forget or get complacent but today, I want  you to know that I see who you are and what you did and I am grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

I don't need your recognition for my sake but I do need it for your sake. I need you to remind yourself of what I have done and what I am doing. It is those reminders that help you through the tough times. 

When you get in the habit of gratefulness, when you look for the opportunities to be thankful, it becomes a habit for you. That habit will carry you through the good days and the bad ones. It will help you to find the hope in me. It will remind you of my love for you. It will remind you of how I have taken care of you. 

Make thankfulness a habit, not for me but for you.

Real change...

My prayer:

God, I am out of words and thoughts. Everything that I can think of to talk about seems so petty and meaningless. Maybe tonight should be more about listening than talking. Love you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I saw your real struggle tonight and it is the struggle you have been wrestling with for awhile. It is the struggle of change. 

The only true and lasting change comes from me. You know this. But I will not make lasting change in someone's life unless they want it. That is why so many things can change but the people do not. 

I have created a universe that is in a constant state of change, but man, you, have free will and the ability to stop me from changing you, stop me from healing you. I have given you that power and that responsibility. I never meant for it to hurt you but many of my children who I love so dearly,  use it to keep me out. 

Use your free will to let me in. Let me change the things in you that you don't like. Let me in to heal what is broken and restore what was taken.

Opportunities...

My prayer:

Thank you God for divine appointments! I love how I can just be walking through my day and suddenly, there is an opportunity to let someone know how much you love them. YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I have so many opportunities in front of you all of the time. I am grateful for when you recognize them. But know that there are many more that are waiting for you to see them. 

I bring you, in every breath of your life, the opportunity to love people and share my love with them. Just make sure to get out of your tunnel vision once and a while and you will see them. They are all around you and desperate for my love. 

I love you.

Destination...

My prayer:

We made it!!! Thank you Jesus!!! This was quite a week but tomorrow is Friday and Sunday's a comin' (as they say)! 

Thank you for strength, favor, guidance and direction. You are wonderful and I have joy and peace in the middle of the craziness ONLY because I have you in me and I get to call on you any time. 

I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

Your life and your path have a destination but there are many ways to get there. Some are more direct and some are more circuitous but they all get you to the destination. 

Your destination is solid, it is secured. You are ending in heaven with me for eternity. I have a special place picked out for you. I have build you a house and it waits for you. Never doubt the destination. It is the path to get there which you get to make choices. 

Those choices determine much of your experience on the journey. I love watching you make those choices and I love blessing you in your choices. I love pouring out favor on you. I love putting you in the right pace at the right time. I love seeing what you do with all of that. 

It is the joy of a proud parent watching their child grow and mature. Let's have some more fun tomorrow.

God wins...

My prayer:

Mighty and amazing God of all creation. I am spent from the long hours this week. Not sure my thoughts are even making sense. But I love you and I am always ready to listen...

What God Said Tonight:

I walked through the valley of the shadow of death and death lost. I took on the sickness of all humanity and sickness lost. I took on sin of everyone whoever was or ever will be and sin lost. 

When anything comes against me, it loses. I am for you so, when anything comes against you, it will lose. 

I will see you blessed and prospered. I will see your enemies defeated. I will never let you down. 

Sleep now and let me watch over you. My protection is foolproof and forever.

Provider...

My prayer:

Sometimes the experience of life is pure joy. It does not happen often, but once in awhile, when even though I know that not everything is right, there is still this moment of pure bliss. I love those moments God. I love when you pour out peace, love and joy that over power anything that is going on. 

Thank you for your overpowering presence!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your everything. You can count on me for everything you need and everything you want. I am your all. I am your provider. I am your salvation. I am the love that conquers all. I am your saviour. 

What do you need right now? I am that. 

I love you and I will never tire of providing for you. It is my great joy, whatever your need. Lean on me in all things and I will provide for you. 

Made of love...

My prayer:

God, thank you for the love you are bringing into my life. Thank you for what you are teaching me about love. Thank you most of all for loving me. 

I pray and ask for more God. More love, more understanding of love, more ability to love. Because, truly, without love, I am nothing, my life is nothing, my accomplishments are nothing. 

Sorry to get all dramatic but I am understanding the truth of this in a whole new way. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am love. I am the substance of love. I love without thinking because it is who I am. 

You are made in our image. You are made in the image of love. Now, it is just a process of reminding you of your true nature. 

Sin and this world have covered you with dirt and scars and have obscured the love that you are made of and from. My blood has washed away the dirt. Now my love will heal the scars. When they are gone, you will see and remember who you were created to be. You will remember love. 

Until then, let me love you and learn all that you can so you will recognize it when you see it in you. 

Truth and lies...

My prayer:

God, I pray for increased discernment of truth. This world is so full of lies and misdirections, it makes it very hard to make good decisions and to know what to do. God, you are the truth. Help me to discern that truth in every situation. 

God, I bind deceit in my life and the lives of those around me who want this too, in the name of Jesus. I loose your truth in this world. 

What God Said Tonight:

The truth is not so hard to find. It is wherever I am, wherever my light and my power reign, there is where you will find truth.

The father of all lies still walks on the earth and is desperately trying to spin his deception around my children. It is a plot to destroy you but it will not succeed. 

You, keep hold of me. Keep hold of truth and the devil will be defeated. His lies will be shown in my light. He will be brought down. 

Brokenness, wholeness and love...

My prayer:

Dearest Lord. Heal our brokenness. Make us whole. Teach us to love like you do. Please.

What God Said Tonight:

Your tears I have saved, not just because I love you but also because they become the base of the balm that heals you. Your brokenness requires a resetting to occur furst. That is the part that can hurt. I do it slowly and only when you are ready because it does hurt and I only want to have to do it once. 

Your brokenness, once reset, needs to be held in place for a while, like a cast on a broken bone. That time is very fragile and it requires protection. At the end of the time of protection, the place of brokenness is healed and stronger than the bone was in the first place. This is the way of healing for brokenness. 

Your wholeness is in me. Let me be whatever you are not. 

Your love training will never end. But the great news about that is your only job is to let me love you. As you do, my love takes root and you love others. 

Really, it is that simple and that complicated all at the same time. I love you and I hear your prayer.

God's love...

My prayer:

Thank you for the wonderful gift today God. You are so amazing and generous. You are mine and I am yours, now and forever. 

I am so beyond grateful for you God. Your love makes life worth living. Your protection makes life possible. Your sacrifice makes everything possible. 

What God Said Tonight:

Gentle light shining on your face, that is me shining my glory on you. Sweet breezes in your hair. That is my presence caressing you. Leaves rustling, water flowing over the rocks, those are aspects of my voice speaking to you. 

I am all around you, all of the time. I am in you and around and I love you more than you will know. I will never leave you and I will never stop loving you. I will only find new and more ways to show you that love. 

I am yours and you are mine, now and forever, we are one.

Bring what you have...

My prayer:

I feel so boring God. I can't think of anything to talk about with you tonight. It seems like I am just trying to get through each day right now and it does not leave a lot of time to think. 

I am very grateful for you in my life, your favor, your divine health. I can't imagine how hard life would be if I didn't have you and your love on my side. But, I feel like I tell you that all the time. You must get bored of it after a while. I sometimes wish I knew more words or even more languages so I could praise you in new ways.

Sorry to be so boring tonight God. Thanks for putting up with me. Can't wait to hear what you have to say. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am not bored with you. I cannot be bored with the child of my heart. 

I don't always need you to talk when we pray. I have many other ways for us to be together and to be in fellowship with each other. I am happy even when we are silent with each other. Sometimes those are the best times for me. When everything is still and it is just you and me, focussing on each other. 

Think of the times when you have been laid out at the alter. So may times when you were not praying a word, sometimes in the Spirit, but no words. Those were wonderfully intense times for us. 

So, if you want to talk, talk. If you want to sing, sing, If you want to stay silent, stay silent. But bring what you have to me. For each day, each night, take some time to invite me along. I will go with you anywhere.

Random thoughts...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I have way too many random thoughts running through my mind tonight and I am having trouble focusing them enough to even know what to talk to you about. Truth is, 90% of my thoughts tonight probably don't really matter and will be forgotten by the morning.

I find it amazing how something that seems so important in the middle of the night, can be completely unimportant in the morning. Somehow, the light of day seems to clarify things and prioritize things in a way that the nighttime will not allow.

See, random and meaningless thoughts...Probably a clear sign that I should stop talking and start listening. Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

I have a lot on my mind too. Some of it profound, some of it may seem random, but all of it has a purpose in the end. The same is true with you. 

Even the random thoughts are often placed in you by my Spirit and meant to spark new ideas, new opportunities, new paths for you to consider. I am the author and finisher of your faith and I have given you the mind of Christ. 

Don't be so quick to dismiss the random thoughts. Sometimes, they are extremely valuable. I love you. I have you in my hands. I am guiding you, now and forever.

Light at the end of the tunnel...

My prayer:

Mighty God, I pray and ask for hope tonight. Life can be pretty rough, disappointment is common place and more than a couple of people I know are stuck in hard situations that they don't see a way out of. 

God, you are the way out. You are our hope. You are our promise of a future. 

I pray and ask that you bring hope to every disappointed and broken hearted person tonight. I pray that a wave of your hope go across the world, touching every person, every heart, with new life and an assurance that things will not always be as hard as they are now. That there is a promise and dream on them that will still come to pass. That you have not forgotten them. You have not walked away. Your plan is still in motion and you are working everything for their good. 

I pray that you put that absolute knowledge deep into their souls where it can never leave them. THANK YOU JESUS!

What God Said Tonight:

What greater hope can there be than to know that the God of all creation is your Father, your Lord, and that I have your best interest always at the forefront of my thoughts and actions? 

I am the great and might Yahweh. I am the Alpha and the Omega and I loved you so much I died for you. 

Your hope is in me. Your hope is found in me. Your hope is seen in me. 

When you are looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, look toward the true light. Look toward me. I will always be shining bright, showing you the way yout. I will always be your light at the end of the tunnel. 

I love you. Trust me to take care of it. I am still in charge.

Hanging out with God...

My prayer:

I am not sure what to pray about tonight God. I have needs, but you already know them. We have already talked about them. Other people I know and love have needs, but you already know them. We have already talked about them.

I mainly just appreciate getting to spend time with you tonight. Just hanging out in your presence, no pressure, no worries. Just enjoying you. And, as always, happy to listen. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am in you, you are of me. We dwell together. We live together. But even when you live with someone, it is awfully nice to take time to just spend time in each other's presence. It is true of your friends, your spouse, it is true of me. I love hanging out with you. 

The best trails...

My prayer:

Thank you God for more surprise blessings today! I feel wonderfully spoiled. You are beautiful. The life you have created is beautiful. I remain in awe of you!

I am excited to see what surprises you have for me this week. I pray for the strength, wisdom, and faith to receive each one as the blessing you intend it to be. 

Guide me, direct me, surround me, and keep me, as always sweet Lord.

What God Said Tonight:
Sometimes the best paths, the best trails are the ones that are the hardest to climb. You climbed a great trail today, one you had never been on  before, and saw things you had never seen before. To get there, you had to work really hard. You had to push beyond your limits. You pushed beyond the pain to see what I had for you. And, you did it with joy. 

I would love to teach you to do that with every hard climb in your life. I would love for you to see every challenge with an assumption that the destination, the experience, is worth the effort and yes, even worth the pain. 

I will never take you down a path that does not have your reward, your benefit, as the the result. I will always have rewards for you; not just in the completion but along the way. 

Remember the hike today. Remember how each turn, each new elevation brought new beautiful vistas. Look for the beautiful vistas on your path in life. I promise to have many beautiful moments for you if you look up , if you just look up and see them. I love you sweet girl.

New things...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a WONDERFUL day full of surprises!!! I loved everyone of them! Thank you for the fresh vision and assignment tonight. Can't wait to see how you work that one out. I am READY! 

You are so very good to me and I love you like crazy.

What God Said Tonight:

The season outside is Fall but in the spirit realm, it is Spring. New life is beginning right now. New growth is occurring. New dreams are being dreamed and new visions are being seen. New paths are being forged and new lives are be reborn. 

It is the season of new. 

That is why you had so many surprises today, I am doing new things. That is why you  and others are seeing things you don't usually see. I am doing a new thing. 

Get ready for more. This season has just now begun. You are going to love it!

Rest...

My prayer:

Too tired too think or to pray, but never too tired to listen. Thank you for getting me through another one God. One more to go!

What God Said Tonight:

Rest your mind, your body and your spirit tonight my love. You have more to do but for tonight, rest in my arms. Rest in my peace. 

Know that I will take care of every last detail and make certain that all things work to your good. Lay your head on my chest, close our eyes and trust me. I love you so.

Knowing the truth...

My prayer:

God, all knowing God. I pray and desperately ask for better discernment of the truth in all things. Life, people, situations have so many layers and even when I think I know what is going on, something will happen that will let me know that I did not even know half of the truth of the situation. Add in the mysteries of the spiritual realm and I am really at a loss. 

God, please help me to know the truth from the lies. Please make the hidden known. Please guide me to the path that you have for me even when I can't see why I should be on it. 

Thank you Jesus, Father, and my everpresent helper, Holy Spirit.

What God Said Tonight:

It is not truly truth that you are most concerned about. You think that it is truth but it is really knowledge. There is a thirst for knowledge in you that has been in every generation. The constant need to know. To have everything revealed and uncovered. To resolve all mystery. 

You somehow think that if you know all, that nothing can harm you. Nothing can surprise you. That simply is not true. Even if you knew everything, which you cannot begin to comprehend, but even if you could, and you knew everything, you would not avoid all harm. 

I am your guide. I am your help. I am all knowing and know the end from the beginning. I will reveal truth, knowledge to you as you need it. But more than that, I need and want you to listen to my voice, let me guide you, trusting that I know what I am doing. 

Sometimes, not knowing everything is a blessing. Trust me to reveal what you need to know when you need to know it. 

That, however, is not a release from studying. Study my word, study me. It is its own reward. I love you. I got you covered.

Removed the threat...

My prayer:

Not much to talk about tonight God. Thank you for getting me through day 2! It was touch and go a couple of times but we made it. Thank you for peace in chaos. Thank you for putting each thing in front of me as it needed to get done. Thank you for the opportunity to help some people in the middle of everything. 

Love you! What's on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

I have taken the heat out of the fire that was intended to burn you. I have removed the threat. No weapon formed against you will prosper. 

You are my child and I will protect you. I will not leave you in the open, unprotected and vulnerable. 

There are many challenges days ahead but I have leeched out the danger. 

As Meschach, Daniel and Abednego stood in the fire and were not burned, so shall you be. Love you love you love you!

Birth pangs...

My prayer:

Woohoo! Day 1 of crazy week is done and I survived. Thank you Jesus!! Only 4 more days to go. 

Thank you for joy God. Your joy is so wonderful. In the middle of chaos, your joy can just walk right in and give a whole new perspective. 

Your gifts are really so wonderful, joy, peace, love, healing and more. You give the best gifts! Just sitting in your awesome tonight God. Can't wait to hear what you have to say.

What God Said Tonight:

I have anointed my servants. I have prepared my children. I have seen my gospel preached throughout the world. The time is nearly here. The time to move into the new season that will end the tyranny of satan on this earth. It is so close, you should be able to see it all around you. 

Do not get afraid. Never forget that these times are known, predicted and expected. It is the necessary birth pangs needed to birth the new heaven and the new earth where we will live together for all eternity. 

The time for a fully restored relationship with me, in my Kingdom, is at hand. 

Ah, my precious child. I would that you would know my love for you. I would that you could know the depth and the breadth of my love for you. 

Turn up the heat...

My prayer:

So beautiful. Beautiful day, beautiful love, beautiful you. You make life worthwhile God. You make life beautiful. 

I ask for your help this week. There is so much I need to do and so much I want to do (and not all of those are the same things). I can do all things through you (which you have shown me over and over). So, I ask for your help again. Give me the strength, the peace, the wisdom to do what needs to be done. Make me a blessing to those around me.

Thank you for always being there for me, always willing to help, always loving me. You are the reason I get out of bed each morning. You are the reason...well for everything. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

I have placed a fire in you. It has been turned down to the pilot light for this last season because I needed to heal some things in you. But now is the time to turn up the heat. 

You are going to notice dreams being resurrected. You are going to notice a drive that you have not felt for awhile. You are going to notice that as you act with the fire in you, that things happen, things change, that the power and glory of your God is evident in all that you do. 

I will give you all that you need for this coming season. You are not in it alone. You my child are never alone. 

All that you need...

My prayer:

Thank you God! I needed rest and you gave me rest. I needed time to corporately worship you and you provided a time and a place. I needed an opportunity to minister and bless someone and you provided a beautiful opportunity. You provide for all of my needs! What a wonderful Father you are!

What God Said Tonight:

I am. I am all that you need. I say that not in the sense that with me, the rest of your needs go away. I say it in the sense that I have all that you need within me. 

I have the power and the wealth to give you everything you will ever need. My wealth is not just of rubies and diamonds, but I also have a wealth of knowledge, love, peace. 

I have ALL that you need and I will provide it to you my child when you need it. 

I love you and taking care of you is one of my favorite things to do.

Search in faith...

My prayer:

You are worthy of all praise. You are Holy. You are Mighty. You are Worthy! You are my everything. 

I may not know what tomorrow, or even tonight, may bring but I know as long as you are with me, it is enough. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

You have been chasing rest all week and not catching it. tonight, you shall rest. Tomorrow, you shall rest. I will give you rest. 

You have been searching for open doors and new opportunities. I have opened doors and the opportunities are here. 

You have been searching for even closer relationship with me and you have found it. 

Search in faith and I will always help you to find that which you search for. I love you too my sweet child.

Enjoy...

My prayer:

Thank you God for laughter! There are few things better after a long and stressful day than being able to laugh until tears come out of your eyes. Thank you for joy. Thank you for fun. Thank you for a life that is not all struggle and striving; but a life with some times to just enjoy and have fun!

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Enjoy your life every second that you can. There is coming a time where those moments to enjoy are few and far between. But, as long as you are children of the Most High God, there will always be something to enjoy. Always something to celebrate. There will always be a victory. Either just won, about to be won, or in the midst of being won. There is always a place to find joy in me. 

Enjoy the sunrise, I made it for you. Enjoy the sunset, it shines for you. Enjoy the breeze, it blows for you. I created the world for my children. Enjoy every minute of it. 

Why pray?

My prayer:

God, I love living life with you. 

Thank you for your help today. Not that long ago, if something like that happened to me, I would have really lost it. But, just a few minutes to walk away and ask for your help, you gave me peace and direction and you worked it all out. Like you always do. 

Thank you for taking such good care of me God. Each day with you is better than ten lifetimes without you. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help in time of trouble. You are my child, of course I will help you whenever you need it. 

I won't jump in without your permission though. I need you to ask, to invite me in. I created you with free will and I will respect that will. I will respect you. But, when you decide you want my help, I am never  more than a prayer second away from being there, helping you, and working everything for your good. But, I do need you to ask. 

I need you to ask for others as well. That is why your prayers for others are so important. Especially your prayers for people who can't pray for themselves, for whatever reason. Maybe they are too sick. Maybe tey are too hurt, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe they don't know how or that they can. Maybe they don't even know me. In those cases, in those times, when you intercede and pray for them, it opens the door for me to go in and help. 

Don't forget to pray. Don't forget to ask. It is VERY important. 

I love you.

Holy Spirit knowledge...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. The older I get, the more things I know about but the less sure I am that I am right about anything. Even you. I know more about you today than I ever have before, but each new thing I learn about you makes me realize how incompletely I knew you yesterday and how much better I will know you tomorrow. 

Maybe that is part of where maturity comes from? The understanding that what I know today is more than I knew yesterday and less than I will know tomorrow and that all that I will ever know is nothing more than a splinter of what you know.

God, thank you for all that you have taught me. I pray and ask for discernment in the situations and challenges that come against me and the people I love. I ask that this discernment be out of your knowledge, not mine, so that it is truth and can actually help. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I am the keeper of all knowledge and the author of truth. I can only speak truth. I am the source of all true knowledge. And, I have sent you my Holy Spirit to share that truth with you and to help you. 

The Holy Spirit is my way of sharing my knowledge and the truth with you on a daily basis. It is my way of communicating with you while you remain on this earth. Without the Holy Spirit in you, you are handicapped and fighting the fight of faith with less intelligence and less weaponry than what you should and need to have. 

Always allow my Holy Spirit to be active in you so you have all of the benefits of my knowledge as you face this world and all of its challenges. Let me help you. Don't shut me out and don't ignore my promptings. They are ALL for your good. 

Love you sweet chid. I will teach you all that you need to know in the season that you need to know it. We are in this together.

God's voice...

My prayer:

Today wiped me out God. All I want to do tonight is to hear your sweet voice and then go to sleep. LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

My voice is never silent but you have to listen to hear it. I don't shout and I don't force my way into your thoughts. I am always available but you have to invite me in, you have to pause to listen, you have to be willing to hear me. 

I don't require so much of you but I do require your belief and your time. 

Worship...

My prayer:

All glory to and for you God. I know we/I say that all the time but for some reason, tonight I mean it in a way I never have before. All glory and honor to you God! You are so truly incredible.

The purity of your love is beyond my ability to fully understand. Thank you for softening my heart. Thank you for healing me so that I can find that lost love in me. Thank you for being love and showing me/us the sweet peace and strength that comes from truly being loved.

God, help me to learn to love like you do. Help me to receive the love you have for me. There is nothing better than your love. There is nothing more wonderful than you. Thank you for loving me.

What God Said Tonight:

Mmmm, what a sweet fragrance your worship is. I want you to know how much your worship and love means to me. I still everything so I can listen. I stop the world so I can hear you.

I love you my child and I will never stop. My love is yours and cannot be separated from you, ever.  

Season of joy...

My prayer:

My mind is wandering so much tonight God I am having a hard time focusing on what I want to talk about with you. Everything seems so good and new and wonderful. It is fun just living life right now. 

I would like to somehow bottle this experience so I can pull it out every time I get down, every time things get boring, every time life seems too hard to put up with. I want to protect it. 

This last season was pretty tough and this season more than makes up for it...can we stay in this season for awhile? 

Love you Daddy!

What God Said Tonight:

The season you are in, the season of joy, the season of healing, the season of restoration is one that will last the rest of your life. You will always be in need of healing and restoration as long as you are living in a world whose goals and intentions are contrary to my Kingdom. 

I have these pockets of joy scattered around you and your life. They are precious and should be cherished but I have plenty of them. You will not run out of joy, as long as you are looking to me for joy. You will not run out of strength as long as you are looking to me for strength. You will not run out of provision as long as you are looking to me for your provision. 

The best, and only way to prolong this season is to look to me to renew, refresh, restore, and fill you with the joy and love that I have for you each day. Open wide to receive, I am pouring it in to you right now.And, I have plenty.

God's love...

My prayer:

Such a beautiful time with you and friends tonight God. I love the people you put in my life. I especially love spending time in your presence and loving you. God I pray for your love to go out over the world tonight like a big wave, blanketing your people. Let them get a glimpse of what they mean to you and how much you love them.

Thank you Jesus!

What God Said Tonight:

I love the best and the worst in you. 

My love is not dependent on your value. My love gives you value. My love is not determined by your actions, my love directs your actions. 

My love for you always has been and always will be. I will NEVER stop loving you. I will ALWAYS love every part of you. I don't only love the good, easy parts. I love all of you, all the time, even when you don't love me. 

You are my precious child and I will never forget you. I will never leave you behind. 

MORE...

My prayer:

Amazing Lord! I feel like the volume has been turned up on my life. Everything is more. More joy, more trust, more power, more pressure, more opportunities...I LOVE MORE!!!! So exciting and I feel so alive! Love this, love you, love more!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your everything and more. I will always have more for you. I never run out. 

I never run out of love. I never run out of joy. I never run out of power. I never run out of patience. I never run out. 

I am the well that never ends. I am the the son that never sets. And all that I am, and all that I have is yours, my precious and wonderful child.. I love you.

Forever with God...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I think one of the best things about this new level of healing that you have given me is that things that use to stress me out just don't really matter that much any more. I KNOW that I can trust you to work everything out. 

This is such a better way to live! Knowing, believing and trusting you to be you. And, you are AMAZING!

God, I love you so much. I can't stop praising you right now. I know I have sang songs about that but this is the first time I have experienced it. Love you, worship you, honor you, I am in awe of you God.

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

My favor lies heavy on you tonight but it does not burden you. My joy surrounds you like a halo. My peace infuses you like a blood transfusion. I am in you and you are in me and nothing can or will ever change that. 

Everything you go through, I will go through with you. Every time you celebrate, I will celebrate with you. I refuse to let go of you and I will hang on with a tenacity greater than death. I am yours and you are mine forever. 

Freedom...

My Prayer:

YOU ARE SO INCREDIBLE GOD!!! Thank you for your healing power in me. I feel so FREE! I feel like a 400 pound weight has been lifted off of me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

What God Said Tonight:

I am celebrating with you my child. All of heaven is rejoicing. Your freedom from the past is glorious to see. 

You are moving into a new era, a new season where your healing will bring so many others to the light. 

I am here to make you free. I am here to heal you. I am here for you. Freedom is your inheritance.

Vengeance...

My prayer:

I am very glad you were in charge of today God because nothing happened the way I thought it would and if I relied on my own ability to plan and be prepared, I would failed miserably all day long. As it was, your favor and your guidance brought me through, like always. THANK YOU!

I really do love you so much and I know you love me; but I also see now that I do still have some trust issues. I thought that I was through all of that. I thought that I trusted you completely. But, based on the waterworks show last night and this morning, I see now that I need a bit more healing in this area. I need a bit more restoration. 

Thank you for understanding God and for healing me.

What God Said Tonight:

Healing, your healing, especially emotional and spiritual healing, is not a one time event. There are layers and depths of healing. The wounds caused by the enemy can be so deep that you have to get one level of healing just to be able to see the next level of pain. 

I want you to listen very closely. I want you to understand something once and for all. I don't want you to ever forget this. I NEVER planned for you to go through pain. I never planned on you to be hurt. I only planned on joy and fulfillment in your life. The sin of this world and the enemy are the cause of your pain. 

He will be paid back one day for all that he did to you. Satan will receive the punishment due to him. Your enemy is laughing, thinking he got away with hurting you. But in the end, he will not only see you whole, redeemed, better than before, but he will see it from the depths of the firey lake where he will suffer for all eternity. 

Vengeance truly is mine because I can make sure that it is rightly placed and aptly measured. 

I love you daughter. I am with you. I am protecting you. I won't let it hurt you any more. It is all in my hands now.

God the judge...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I am not sure I have words to describe what I am feeling, what I need, what I want to say. Hear my heart please. Hear all the things that I don't know how to talk about. Hear all the things I am afraid to ask about. Hear all the needs that I don't even really understand.

Thank you God for knowing me better than I know myself and being everything I need right when I need it.

What God Said Tonight:

You have had a lot going on in you and in your life lately, it makes sense that you are confused. I am not the author of confusion as you know but I can make things clear for you. I can give you wisdom beyond your own ability. I can give you discernment in situations that require it. 

You know my voice, and most of the time you pay attention. When you don't, I will always try to give you the second chance. I am all about second chances. 

This life, your life, is not something that is being graded. It is not something that is being scored. It is something that is being lived. No one wins and no one loses when it comes to life. You just live it. And, when it is over, because I saved you, you will live forever with me. 

I am your judge and jury and I call you innocent. There is nothing more to know or to earn. I love you.

Marathon...

My prayer:

Thank you God for a few more pieces to the puzzle tonight. Thank you for a few more answers in this healing process you have me in. It feels good to see forward progress, although I can clearly see there is quite a ways to go. 

God, I ask for help with this anger that is rising up in me. It is pretty ugly and not very productive. It is not righteous anger, it is petty anger. I don't want it in me. 

Thank you Jesus 

(Oh! and thanks for the great hike today! It was awesome hanging out with you!)

What God Said Tonight:

Just relax a minute. 

You do not have to run a marathon in a day. (Although I know you would like to so you could be on the other side of this) A marathon (and this process is a marathon) is one step at a time and takes a while. 

For those who are prepared for it, it takes less time to finish. For those who are unprepared, it can take a very long time. You are prepared, but do not rush this. Take each step as it comes, let me heal you and we will get on the other side of this forever and for good. 

I love you sweet daughter. Go and rest.

Needing God...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I have been sending up fervent prayers all day. So many people I love are having a hard time right now. I know there is not much I can do but listen, but you, you can change the world. You can do anything. 

We each need you so badly God. Just to get through a single day right now, we need you constantly. Thank you for being there and thank you for taking care of us. 

What God Said Tonight:

Needing me is a good thing, not a bad thing. Needing me  is how I designed you. It is not a sign of weakness. I love that you need me. I don't love the trouble that is coming against you but I love that in it, you see how you need me. 

I love how you come to me in the trouble. I will never bring trouble on you  but I will always use the trouble to help you. 

You are my precious child and I want only the best for you. I love you.

It's a process...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I pray and ask that you complete the process of forming me into who you need me to be to do what you have called me to do.

It seems like the process is taking so long. Maybe it is never truly done? Maybe it is a lifetime process? If that is true, I ask that you help me to see the progress and give me the strength and motivation to hold on for as long as it takes.

I understand how important this process is, how important my healing is, not just for me but for everyone that you are going to put in my life to help. I get it and I am grateful for your healing power. Lend me also your strength and perseverance, please. 

What God Said Tonight:

I have got you. You won't let go and you won't give up. I have you firmly in my arms and we are walking through this together. 

It is a process and it does take time but it is worth it. I have seen you through tougher times than this. I have seen you triumph over greater struggles than this. I will see you through this. 

This one, is really kind of easy in that the work is all up to me, not you. Look to me and let me heal you. I promise, I will not let you go, ever. I promise I will not you let go. I promise your healing is in process and I will see it completed. 

Moments to remember...

My prayer:

Awesome Lord. I would like to turn off my brain for just a little while tonight. I have been working so hard and thinking so hard, trying to figure things out lately, my brain feels like mush. 

I want to just focus on you tonight. I want to focus on how amazing you are. Your love, your grace, your mercy, your healing, your power, it is all overwhelming when I really focus on it. I think sometimes I get so accustomed to having your presence in me, your favor on me, that I completely take it and you for granted. And, it takes a moment like tonight, where I simply stop and think about, focus on you, to leave me with jaw hanging down awe.

It doesn't take long, just a moment. But it does take a pure moment of shoving everything else out of my brain so I can use all of it try to wrap around the amazingness that is you. 

Thank you for being you!

What God Said Tonight:

These moments are important. Not because I need to hear it but because you need to remember it. You need to remember who I am and as you do, you remember what I can and will do. That will give you the faith and the patience to get through one more day, get over one more mountain, walk through one more valley. 

I am never far from you and I am always fighting for you. I am and will always be on your side making sure that all things work together for your good. Go, relax and know that everything will work out. Not because of what you do but because of who I am. Love you!
