God's love...

My prayer:

Thank you for making everything go so smoothly today God! I was really kind of dreading it but you took care of everything. You take such amazing care of me. It is really almost unbelievable. Thank you for loving me and taking care of every need. I am SO BLESSED!

What God Said Tonight:

I have come for many things. To heal, to save, to redeem, but I came mostly to love. 

I am love, my whole purpose is to love. I will love you to the end of eternity. My love for you is not diminished by the circumstances. My love for you is all encompassing and everlasting.

My schedule...

My prayer:

What a great weekend God. I am not ready to head back to work and this week is PACKED with meetings.

I will need your help to not stress out and to respond with love and peace. I will need your peace residing in me to make it. I ask for your help. With you, this week can be amazing. On my own, this week will be a disaster.

Thank you for always sticking with me and thank you for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have plans for this week that go beyond your schedule. Do not get lost in thinking you know what the future brings. Your plans, your schedule are only a small part of the story yet to come.

I am here for you. I am here to guide you. I am here with you, always. Focus on me, let me guide you through, not your plans. Leave room to follow me.

Hardship...

My prayer:

Another wonderful and peaceful day God. Thank you for being so present.

I loved the time on the lake with you this morning. SO peaceful and beautiful. Your voice and your Spirit surrounding me.

There is no better place anywhere than in your presence. I love you with all that I know how to love, which is not enough, not what you deserve but all that I have.

What God Said Tonight:

Don't rest until you have run. Don't play until you have worked. And, don't die until you have lived.

No real joy is experienced until it is in the face of hardship. I know this to be true. The hardships in life are not meant to bring you down. They are meant to grow you up.

Everything in its season...

My prayer:

What a great day God. Thank you for every minute.

Thank you for making me a blessing and thank you for blessing me. Thank you for all of the work you helped me get done and thank you for the rest you gave me.

I guess the thing that was so great about today was it was balanced and you were in it.

What God Said Tonight:

There is a time and a season to everything. I know I have told you this many times before but it is when you truly understand that fact that you begin to live a balanced life and a life of peace.

The people who are always worried about what is going to happen next, never get to experience the joy in front of them.

Trust me to take care of tomorrow. Trust me to accomplish everything in its season and you will never need the crutch of worry again.

I love you. I am all yours.

Your landscape...

My prayer:

Thank you for a day of great peace God. Not because of the circumstances, those the were normal, crazy mix of challenges. But in the middle of it all, there was your peace that I got to sit in all day. What a perfect place to be.

What God Said Tonight:

As the sun goes over the horizon and the light hits the landscape at different angels, everything changes. The appearance of the landscape is completely changed based on where the light is shining on it. This is most evident in the desert.

The same is true for your life. Everything changes its appearance as my light shines upon it. The true beauty of your life is brought out when I shine on you. This beauty is at its greatest when you are in your desert.

It is because the contrast is so great. When your circumstances are difficult, my light seems more bright and more beautiful.

Let my light transform your landscape.

A big decision...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I come asking for guidance and direction tonight.

The opportunity from today is interesting. I have been looking for a change. Is this it? Or is this just a distraction? Part of me thinks it could be great but part of me sees all of the downsides to it. A big part of not wanting to take the opportunity is knowing I would have to say good bye to people I truly love and admire. But then I think, that is not a good reason to stay and ignore the opportunity.

Anyway, as you can see, logic and reason isn't getting me anywhere. Help me God to make the right decision.

What God Said Tonight:

Our relationship is not one where I tell you what to do and you do it. That is the relationship of a master and a slave. You are not my slave, you are my daughter, my precious daughter. As such, all I want is your happiness.

I just want to be a part of your everyday life and decisions. I can show you pitfalls and I can show you potential, but the decision, especially decisions like these are all yours.

You can talk it through with me and bounce ideas off of me, I am happy to be a part of it all, but in the end, you choose. And when you do, I will find blessings in your decision. I will destine you to succeed, as I have always done.

Rest on it. Let your mind turn off for awhile. I bet it will look a whole lot clearer to you in the morning.

God's warrior army...

My prayer:

What a crazy attack that was tonight God! I could almost hear satan jeering at me, "What are you going to do now? Now that everything is going wrong, bet you start blaming God now!"

That was where he overplayed his hand though. I knew in that moment that I had to focus on you like never before, trust in you like never before and love you know matter what the outcome, knowing that you would work it for my good. And, right then, everything started turning around!

It seems like you are teaching me a lot through real life circumstances right now God. It is a powerful way to learn. I love you!

What God Said Tonight:

Your left and your right are an army ready for battle. They have waited many years to fight and the time is nearly here.
 
You are on the front lines but you are not alone. Your warrior brothers and sisters will fight by your side. The winner is already determined but the battle needs warriors.

Go get them my warrior princess daughter!

God's voice...

My prayer:

I really enjoyed our time together today God. It was good to just hang out with you, no agenda, no needs, just you and me on a lake.

I know I don't do that enough. I don't take the time to just be in your presence. There is almost always something going on where I need your help, your guidance, something. That must get really old for you.

Any time you want to talk, let me know and I will do all that I can to stop what I am doing to listen. Sometimes you are going to have to talk loud or smack me upside the head a bit because, you know, I can get pretty involved in my own stuff. But, please know that I truly always want to and will make time to listen.

Your voice is my everything. Your love makes me whole.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a voice that can shake the foundations of the earth. I can actually wake the dead with my voice. But most people know it as a still small voice. That is how I prefer to talk to my children.

I prefer those quiet moments. I save the big voice for warfare, for momentous changes. I use my small voice for showing you love, helping you along the way, giving you all that I can. My loud voice is for the enemy. He does not listen well and sometimes it is the only way I can get his attention. My children, who know and love my voice, will find it in the quiet spaces.

Every time you take a moment in your busy day, I will be there. Every time your thoughts turn to me, I will be there.

I am yours and you are mine forever,

Prayer for Pastors...

My prayer:

My prayer tonight God is for your Pastors. As I look around, it seems like your Pastors around the world are getting attacked at greater levels than ever. They are being attacked in their physical health, in their families, in their minds, in their emotions and in their dreams. It seem clear that satan has launched an onslaught against the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving you and your people and I want to take a stand, right here, right now and say STOP IT satan!

In the name of Jesus Christ who has given me the authority to do so, I resist you and I command you to back off of the chosen people of God. You can't have them. They belong to God. Get your filthy hands OFF!

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

I have heard you and I am with you. Your instincts are right. This is  a new level of battle and a new level of warfare going on today.

I have my warriors in place. I have the destiny already worked through.

You will see great things on the other side of this. Pastors who keep their eyes and faith in me will be delivered. Those who do not will be sifted, like wheat. I need my end days army strong and unshakable.

I love you.

While you wait...

My prayer:

I am feeling deflated tonight God. I could use some of your inspiration and hope.

Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have only good things for you, right? I have promised you a future. I have promised you hope. I have not brought you this far just to let you stop. I have spent a lifetime preparing you. I won't let that go to waste.

I will tell you again, this next season is nearly here and it is only a matter of timing. While you wait, rest, grow strong, look forward with hopeful anticipation and enjoy this time to rest and play. The hard work will be here soon enough.

I love you and don't worry, all is well and as it should be.

Lead with your heart...

My prayer:

Thank you God for having better ideas than mine.

Today I was all ready to go in and demand "the respect I deserve" and instead you provided a wonderful bonding opportunity that helped me to see it wasn't disrespect but something completely different that drove his behavior. If I had gone in the way I wanted to, I would have alienated him and made things worse.

Thanks for always having a better way and leading me down the right paths. My life is so much better because you are in it!

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes a good idea starts from a completely different place and can take you exactly where you need to be for other reasons.

Today, you led with your heart. You left your ego and your logic behind. That is what made it successful. When dealing with other people, leading with your heart will never let you down.

Paradise...

My prayer:

Thank you for amazing timing today God. Everything fell right into place, I heard your voice all day guiding me, it was wonderful!

I love those times where your presence is so obvious. I know you are always with me but sometimes I can sense you more than others. I love when I can see, hear, feel you close. You are my ever present help.

Thank you for today.

What God Said Tonight:

I am not through yet. I am just beginning to change the world into the paradise I always meant for it to be.

The change is hard and the change will look worse before it is better. But the change is coming. The change has begun.

I am counting on you and your brothers and sisters to move in when it is done. I am counting on you to be the stewards I first envisioned my children to be. I am counting on you to stay strong in me and be ready.

I love you .

Deep wounds...

My prayer:

Today was a whole lot of challenges without much reward. I had to hunt for the joy and the blessings today God. Thankfully, with your help, I found some.

I know you keep telling me a new season, an exciting adventure is on the way and I am SO READY! This dragging through each day with a goal of getting to the end of it is no way to live.

I love you God. What is on your mind tonight?

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes, there a wounds that are so deep and that have been covered up for so long, you have forgotten they are there.

It is not until you start cleaning up the areas of your life that you notice the old bandage and try to remove it. It is in that removal that you begin to recognize the depth of the wound. The bandage has kept it from bleeding all over but it has not kept it from festering and getting worse.

It is time to remove some bandages and heal the festering wounds. They are not doing you any good and it is time they are healed.

It might hurt a little. Healing a wound like that often requires some initial pain to clean it out. But, in the end, you will be much happier.

Adventure...

My prayer:

Thank you God for healing me today! Thank you for a beautiful trail with a great friend. Thank you for joy, peace and love all over my life today.

You are a wonderful Father and I am yours, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Your next step is a bit of a leap at first but once you jump, it is smooth downhill sailing. It is going to be fun and exhilarating You will enjoy the trip as much or more than the destination.

I have heard you calling out to me for a new season, a new journey a new challenge, and I have it coming your way. I have your name carved into it. It is an adventure made just for you.

Don't get tired in well doing. Hang in there and you will see, it will be the time of your life!

Season...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I need a new direction, a new purpose, a new...something meaningful. I am feeling stuck and uninspired. I am feeling a bit useless to myself and to others.

What should we do next God? Where should we go? What should we build? I am ready for a new adventure.

What God Said Tonight:

I have a season to everything. I have a season for growth and a season for rest. I have a season for planting and a season for harvesting.

Don't rush your season.

Your feeling right now is nothing more than the anticipation of your spirit for the coming season. You are preparing yourself without even realizing it.

I have your future and your heart prepared. I am lining up the world. When it is done. we will march out together with purpose and joy.

I love you daughter. Your holding pattern is only for a moment.

Keep God...

My prayer:

I am tired at many levels tonight God and with that, my attitude is not very good. I could think of many things to complain about tonight, many things that I would like to be changed, but that sounds like an awful way to spend our time together.

I don't want to be the squeaky and whiny wheel. I want to bring you joy. I want to bring a smile to your face. I want to be the child that you see and can't wait to talk to.

So, know that no matter what I am struggling with tonight, my love for you is greater. My worship of you is paramount. My joy from being in your presence is immeasurable.

Come and let me feel your presence. Let me know that you are here with me as always. Let me feel your peace, your joy and your love. 

What God Said Tonight:

You bring me honor in your worship. I have told you to "do this in remembrance of me." When I said that, it was more than just communion. It was that in your every day life. In your eating, sleeping, waking, going about your business day, do it in remembrance of me.

Keep me in your mind and your spirit. Keep  me ahead of the challenges you face. Keep me with you always. And, I promise you that I will work all things our for your good. I promise that I will bless you abundantly. I promise you greatness in this life and beyond.

Keep me first and there is nothing you can't do.

Trust...

My prayer:

Amazing God. I ask for greater discernment. My instinct, is to distrust people first and only trust them after a long period of proving their trustworthiness, if ever.

I do this because of being deeply hurt in the past by trusting those who turned out to be untrustworthy. I do it to protect myself. While it is understandable, the older I get the more I realize how this approach, this distrust, isolates me and keeps me from experiences and people that could really enhance my life.

God, I pray for healing of the old wounds, I pray for restoration of my trust, and I pray for your protection from those who should not be trusted.

What God Said Tonight?

Here are the basics, trust me. That is all you need to know and all you need to do. I will, in your trust bring in only those who are trustworthy and protect you against those who are not. 

SIgnificant...

My prayer:

Too tired to write, not too tired to listen. What is on your mind God?

What God Said Tonight:

I have known for a very long time that this day and this time would come. There is a significance to this time that you do not yet realize. 

Every sacrifice, every step forward that you make in this time is significant in the overall plan for humanity and the earth. 

I know it does not seem like you and you actions could be so significant but they are. Each of my children have a role in Kingdom destiny. Each have a part in the new heaven and earth to come. 

Keep up your part my darling daughter. I love you.

Covenant...

My prayer:

Thank you God for helping me to get out of my own way today. There were several times where I saw myself getting irritable and unpleasant, defensive, stressed out, for no real reason and each time, I asked for your help and you turned it around for me. The exact same thing that had made me so angry one minute, I was able to laugh about in the next minute with your help.

Living life with you is SO much easier than living it without you. Thank you for always helping when I ask!

What God Said Tonight:

I am your ever present help in danger. I will never leave you or forsake you I am in this covenant with you that cannot and will not be broken.

I wait for you to have the full realization of that covenant. I wait for you to realize all that is yours through that covenant. 

Confidence...

My prayer:

I really enjoyed today God. Thank you for every moment!

What God Said Tonight:

The fire is not always dangerous. At least it is not for you.

The fire dances and moves and because of my protection, you can sit back and see the beauty in it with no fear. I have given you the gift of confidence. Confidence in me to work it out. That confidence allows you to look at any situation and find the beauty in it.

There is the old saying that every cloud has a silver lining. Well, with me working in your life, that is COMPLETELY true. You eyes are blessed with the vision to see the silver lining once you have fully trusted me. I am and will always be on your side. Always.

Mountain moving prayer....

My prayer:

Thank you God for coming through for my friend today! Your provision and blessing on her life is beautiful.

Thank you for hearing our prayers. You are so good to us, so kind, so generous and so loving. Thank you for being so wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

Pray and believe...it has to go three ways. Effective prayer is a three pronged situation.

It requires the prayer, it requires the belief, and it requires you and me together. Take one of those elements away and it falls over like a stool missing a leg.

Your prayer, given to me with our shared belief, that is power. That is effective. That moves mountains. I love you daughter. Let's move some more mountains together soon.

The Spirit of truth...

My prayer:

Awesome God. You know I love you voice. I love when you talk to me. I love having the most High God who knows everything on my side, guiding and directing me. That is truly wonderful.

Sometimes though, I think I have heard you clearly and things don't turn out the way I expect them to. Tonight, I was certain that you told me to go, at that time and that you had the timing of the rest all worked out.

Well, it did not seem "worked out."It seemed like I was late every step of the way. Did I hear you wrong or was your timing just different than what I would have expected?

It wasn't a big deal in this case. It all worked out in the end. But things like this worry me. If I misunderstood you in this, what else have I misunderstood? What else have I heard wrong?

What God Said Tonight:

Your first communication with me, the first time you heard my voice...do you remember that? Do you remember how you felt? I do.

You thought it couldn't be real. you thought there was no way that God would talk to you. But over time, you came to trust it, to trust me.  Over time you came to discern my voice from others. You came to know when someone else was trying to speak to you in my place.

Now, you have more deeply rooted questions that are more difficult to answer. Now, you don't question my voice but the meaning of my words. That is where true understanding comes in.

I have given you the helper. Lean on him to help you with understanding. Ask for his guidance and thoughts with every prophetic word you receive. You will find great truth when you follow my Spirit.

The best you...

My prayer:

Awesome Father. I am kind of loving the person that you are turning me into.

As you heal these old hurts in me, I find myself doing things I never thought were possible. I find myself with more courage than I have ever had before. It is really opening all new worlds to me.

Thank you for healing me. Thank you for wholeness. You are amazing and I am grateful.

What God Said Tonight:

I see you stepping out into unknown waters and I am proud of you. I see you trusting me with untold secrets and I am proud of you.

You are coming into the you I always intended you to be. I have not finished. We have more to do. I have more to heal. I have great joy for you. I have great responsibility for you. I have great hope for you.

I love you and I will not leave you. I will be with you now and forever and I will be proud of you my child.

Equipped...

My prayer:

Thank you for all that you are teaching me right now God. I feel like there are things that I have always struggled with that are 'suddenly' changed in me.

I feel you healing old wounds. I feel you strengthening me. I feel you showing me the strength that is in vulnerability. I feel you showing me the strength that is in humility. I feel you showing me the strength that is in admitting weakness.

These are new and hard things for me God but I feel you changing me. Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I have told you these things for years. Now I have equipped you to experience them in every day life.

It is not easy. You will have to remind yourself of these lessons. These lessons are inconvenient and inconsistent with how the world works.

So, you will have to remind yourself of this moment and know that the way to growth is to follow me. The way to peace is to follow me. The way to all you need is found if you follow me.

This beautiful, complicated life...

My prayer:

I am kind of down tonight God with no good reason. I pray for your peace and joy to come over me tonight. Thank you for being so wonderful.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is more beautiful and more complicated than you may ever be able to understand. I can show you glimpses but to to see the whole picture would be overwhelming for you.

I have the full picture. I can see how the things that you think are so insignificant actually have great purpose. I can see how the thing that disappointed you had a greater purpose than you can imagine.

I promise, I will never disappoint you without a greater purpose. If I could, I would literally give you every thing you could ever want. I would shower you with blessings until you could not take any more. But, there are, right now, some circumstances, situations, needs, in both the physical and the spiritual world that sometimes mean that things don't turn out like you want them to.

Trust me that they are turning out the way they need to be and that I will bless you in the end.

God's love...

My prayer:

God I pray and ask for a greater level of your love in our lives. I pray for so much of your love in our lives that we stop hurting and being hurt by each other.

Your love heals. Your love strengthens. Your love makes us more than we were before. Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

My love goes wherever it is welcome. I will flood you with love if you will let me. You are the apple of my eye. You are my created child.

I made you to love. My love was born inside of you and grows every time you let it. My love is not boastful and my love will not go where it is not welcome. But where you welcome me, I will come in like a rushing river with more love than you can take.

You are my precious child and my love is all yours.

Many roads to blessing...

My prayer:

Today was one of those days where nothing went according to plan but everything turned out well.

You do that for me a lot. You take a mishmash of things that are not working and make them into something that does work. I am barreling down a track that is going no where when you nudge me to the right and suddenly I am right where I need to be.

Thank you for your blessing, your guidance, and your love God. I would not want to live this life without them.

What God Said Tonight:

There are a lot of ways that I can ensure the best for you. I have created many roads to your blessing. I have benefits for you that I have not even deployed yet but will take you to new heights to soar.

I will take you with me.

Soaring...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I worship you. I lay down every worry, every thought and every desire while I stand in awe of you and all that you are. Or, all that I am aware of that you are.

That is the amazing and wonderful thing about you God. As much as I know you, as close as we get, there is always more with you.

You are beyond limits, beyond boundaries, beyond my imagination. THAT is exciting and wonderful. Knowing that I will spend the rest of eternity with you and that you will always have more to teach me, more to share with me, more to show me, is truly wonderful. I LOVE YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

My Spirit rides the wind and sings in joy. I have you in my arms and together we will soar.

We will soar because I have destined you for greatness. We will soar because you were created for great things. We will soar because I have made you a royal priesthood. But we will also soar for the pure joy of it. We will soar to feel the wind in our hair. We will celebrate every victory and we support each other in every defeat.

I love you. Come soar with me.

The cure for jealousy...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Jealousy is such a destructive force. I don't normally have trouble with jealousy but once in awhile it comes up and when it does, it is so relentless. Even at the moment of feeling the jealousy I know that there is not good purpose for it. I know, even then, that it will do nothing but cause me misery. And yet, when it grabs a hold of me, it is really hard to get free.

God, I pray for a generous heart that automatically feels joy for the blessings on people around me. Help me to see and be satisfied with the blessings in my own life. God, disintegrate jealousy in my life.

What God Said Tonight:

Jealousy is nothing more than coveting what is not yours. It is the epitome of pride to want to be better and more blessed than the people around you. It is a remnant of the pride of man in you that needs to be burned and cauterized out of you. It does you no good. It does the people around you no good. Hold still while I remove this cancer from you.

Receive the ultimate worthiness that I have placed in you.  You never have to compare yourself to others because I have made you perfect in Christ. The God of all creation loves you. Those are good credentials.

Rescue and refuge...

My prayer:

Today was weird. So many things that went wrong and yet, even in the midst of things going wrong, I could see your hand protecting me from worse things. It was kind of like a tornado of bad things came at me and you pulled me to the side so I only had to deal with some wind.

Thank you for the wind God and keeping me out of the tornado. I love you.

What God Said Tonight:

It is another weather analogy and it is true. I have yet to see the storm that can take my children out; but, that does not mean that they don't get wet. It rains on the righteous and unrighteous together.

My protection, my hope for you is that I will always provide a way out. I am your rescue and your refuge. My banner covers your head and my mantle covers your back. I love you.

Strong foundation...

My prayer:

I really enjoyed today God. Thank you for the beauty, the fun, the relaxation, and for spending it with me.

Back to work tomorrow and I am betting, another great opportunity for me to find peace in you while the world around me is crazy. Help me to see life and circumstances through your eyes. Help me to see the bigger picture and purpose. And, most of all, help me to love like you love.

What God Said Tonight:

I have built your life on a sound structural base. It is because of that sound structure that you can face the winds of change, you can handle an occasional earthquake shaking.

Your foundation in me stays strong and keeps you from falling over. When the winds blow and the earth shakes, grab hold of your foundation and you will not be brought down.

Healing rest...

My prayer:

I sit here tonight with a choice. I could focus on the several truly horrible and the many rather annoying events of the day. Or, I could focus on the rather sparse but still present blessings.

The choice seems obvious but it is rather hard to make. I should focus on the blessings. I will feel better if I focus on the blessings. But the only thoughts running through my head are related to the things that I cannot imagine calling blessings.

I have not quite made it to Paul's maturity where I count it all blessing. I would like to, but I can't. Well, Mom always said if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all...

What God Said Tonight:

I don't mind silence. It is in the silence that you can best hear my voice. It is in the silence that you can feel my peace most clearly. It is in the silence that the enemy is bound.

I am your God and your Father. I will heal you as you rest. I will show you sweet dreams and hope for the future. You rest and I will bring you out. Let me take this one.

Blue flame...

My prayer:

Thanks for helping me through the rough patches today God. There were quite a few and you brought me through each of them like a champ.

What would I do without you? Thank you that I never have to actually answer that question because you will be with me always. I am yours, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

Blue flame is the hottest fire. It is not the most recognized flame but it is the hottest and spreads the fastest.

It is not always the most well known or most visible that I use to spread my fire. Sometimes I use the unknowns, the unseens, who are burning so hot for me, they are nearly unrecognizable.

I love you blue flame.

Love is the antidote...

My prayer:

Awesome God. I don't want to complain to you. I just am having a hard time tonight dealing with the near constant violence in this world I live in. So much anger, strife, killing, it has left me exhausted.

I know about your peace that passes all understanding and I am so grateful for it. Without it, I would have lost my mind long ago. But, sometimes like tonight, it just gets overwhelming and I don't know what to do but to ask for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

Peace be with you. Peace I bring to you, peace I leave with you. I am the Prince of Peace and in me there is no death.

I know you know these things. I am confirming them for you tonight. You are sheltered in my peace.  Take my peace wherever you go and let it light up the darkness. Let your love shine out so people can see me and see the alternative.

It is easy to get angry and lash out. It takes maturity to get angry and love anyway.

Your probably tired of me saying this but it is true, love conquers all. Love is stronger than hate and stronger than fear. Love is the antidote to the violence of this world. Let your love shine.

Expiration date...

My prayer:

Huh, I have nothing to say and nothing really on my mind. That doesn't happen often! Maybe tonight I should just listen...

What God Said Tonight:

There is a time limit. An expiration of sorts. Time is relative and I am the keeper of time but the reality is that time does run out.

I am very close to taking us into the next stage. It is inevitable and it is important. It will move us one step closer to the new heaven and the earth.

I want to take as many children with me as I can You are helping me by being you and showing me to people. I have more love left to give. I have more salvation available. I don't run out, but time will.

Don't let us grieve over brothers and sisters that could have been so easily saved if one person had genuinely shared me with them. Don't let those opportunities pass. Be my light. Help them see me.

Prayers...

My prayer:

Today was bittersweet. I was grateful for the many opportunities to pray for people and intercede and I was sad that I ran into so many people who needed prayer.

Thank you for the peace that you brought to each situation. Thank you for the healing you accomplished. Thank you for preventing what otherwise could have been a very violent situation. Thank you most of all for hearing and responding to my prayers. I am so grateful that I have you for a Father!

What God Said Tonight:

I hear your prayers. All of them. I even hear the prayers that you forgot you prayed.

I have a timing for all things, even my answers to prayer. Don't believe for one second that your prayer is not heard and will not be answered just because you have not heard yet. You have not seen yet.

I value your prayers. I need you to stand for yourself and others in the realm of heaven, declaring what is yours. Declaring what I have provided for you. Stand up and claim your heritage.

I am with you always. I will hear you always. I will love you always.

TIme with God..,

My prayer:

Thanks for the one on one time today God. It was good to dwell in your presence. It was good to feel your Spirit in me and hear your voice. I need more quiet time with you. I need more time with you, away from the distractions and the horror of this world. I need to find more time. I love you God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have all the time in the world and will give it to you whenever you ask.

I know you feel you need to fill your life with busyness and I don't ever want to discourage you from doing all that you want to do. But in that race to achieve, remember to take time with me.

I will refuel your tank. I will guide your direction. I will give you the peace you need to succeed. I am your strength and I will never let go. I love you daughter.

Made for God...

My prayer:

I am exhausted from a truly wonderful day God. Thank you for every minute of this day. There was productivity, play, joy, laughter, good friends, good food and great weather. I don't think a person can ask for more. Love you!

What God Said Tonight:

I love you and enjoyed our day together too. I love spending time with you, I don't care what we are doing, as long as we are together.

I made you to be with me.

I am with you...

My prayer:

Today was a good day God. Not because of anything that happened or didn't happen but because I could feel your presence all day and your presence gave me the ability to handle anything that came my way.

It felt good to have that back. It is what I missed yesterday. I am nothing without you. Thank you for choosing me and living in me.

What God Said Tonight:

I am with you, now and forever. It is my promise and commitment to you that I will never leave you. It is vital that you always remember that. There may be times when you are more aware of me and times when you are less aware of me but I do not change.

I am with you now and forever and that will not change. I love you and you are mine. I won't give you up. Go and rest in my presence.

All is well...

My prayer:

I am uncomfortable and on edge tonight God and I don't really know why. Something is off. I am off.

God, I pray and ask for your peace and for your will to be fully manifest in my life and in me. Fill me Holy Spirit. Let everything that comes out of me and everything within me be in agreement with you and your will.

I am yours, now and forever.

What God Said Tonight:

I am in agreement with you I have made a way for us to always be in agreement. The sacrifice of my son allows us continual fellowship. It breaks down every barrier. I removes every hindrance. My son's blood makes it possible for you and I to be together forever.

Lean into the presence of my son and let his sacrifice wash over you. Let his blood renew you. Let my Holy Spirit encourage you. Let me love you.

All is well.

Windy path...

My prayer:

What a day of joy, healing and love! Thank you Jesus! You healed my leg. I could barely lift it yesterday and today, no pain at all. Then, you surround me with people who are generous, kind and make me feel so special. Thank you for this special day God.

What God Said Tonight:

I have you on a bit of a windy path right now. You will get where you need to go but you will not travel in a straight line.

There is purpose in the turns. Take time to enjoy the scenery. Take time to get to know those who are traveling with you in a deeper way. We are going to cover a lot of ground by taking this path.

You might say that is the reason for the serpentine route.

Protection...

My prayer:

Protection God. That is the word that is just echoing in my mind and my spirit tonight. I pray for your protection over us. Protection from violence, protection from fire, protection from evil and protection from ourselves and the decisions we make out of our pain. Blanket us in your protection.

What God Said Tonight:

I have built a fortress around you. My angels stand guard. My Holy Spirit watches over it all. I have a protection program set up that is infallible and unbreachable.

I will not only watch over you in this life but, when it is time, I have made the provision for you to live forever with me. That everlasting life is your guarantee of my protection.

I will not see you destroyed. Ever.

Complicated mess...

My prayer:

Today was pretty wonderful God. Thank you for every blessed minute. I have been praying and asking for your help for everyone else today. I think tonight I just want to listen.

What God Said Tonight:

Sometimes things that you think are a mess are really just complicated. Just because something is complicated, does not mean there is something wrong. The best things in life can be the result of very complicated preparation.

I have great things for you. Some of them you will see coming. Others, you will see emerge from the complicated "mess" that you thought was an issue to be solved when it was nothing more than the breeding ground for my blessing.

I love you.

The disease of evil...

My prayer:

God, I pray for your peace to blanket our country tonight.

Things have gotten really out of control. I don't understand how killing people became a viable course of action but it seems like every day, we have another mass shooting or other horrific violence.

We need your wisdom and your peace. We need your grace to overwhelm us so our reaction is love and not violence. We need your love, which is stronger than any hate, to heal us.

God, I give you my country and ask for your help.

What God Said Tonight:

I have seen great violence done over the ages. I will see yet more. Violence is a side effect, an outcome of evil living in the world. It is a symptom of the disease of evil.

The symptoms seem to be getting worse because the illness is coming to a head. It is like when you have a fever. Often, right before the fever breaks, you have a spike where your temperature rises a bit more, or at least it feels as though it does. The same is true of this world.

The end (or the beginning depending on how you look at it) is nearly here. For now, know that you are under my protection. Know that I have my children well and strategically placed. Know that no matter how out of control it feels, I will see it work for your good in the end.

We are in a battle but it is a battle that we win.

Hold on tight...

My prayer:

I am resting in your arms and in your love tonight God. My favorite place!

What God Said Tonight:

Strap on and hold tight. We have a bumpy road ahead.

You can choose to be frightened by the ups and downs or you can trust me in the middle of it and enjoy the ride. It is going to be exhilarating if you let yourself enjoy it. It will be terrifying if you don't trust me.

I love you sweet child. Hold on tight.

Living a life of grace...

My prayer:

Awesome God, THANK YOU! You made today go so smoothly. I was dreading returning back to work, worried about what I would find, but you took care of everything! Thank you Jesus!!

And yet, even in my giving thanks to you tonight, my mind strays to the one offense from today. The one thing that did not even bother me at the time but now, as I think about it, I find myself taking offense. Thinking, "She had no right to say that!"

But, that is ridiculous thinking. All it does is take the focus away from all of the blessings you heaped on me today. God, I ask for your help to let go of any offense. I choose to let it go and I ask for your help to not pick it up again. That offense is an enemy to me, to you and to the blessings you provided me and I will not allow it to fester in me. THANK YOU!

What God Said Tonight:

You will soon see the new heaven and the new earth. You will see that it is full of light and free from darkness. You will see that pain and offense do not live there.

The more you can live free of those things now, the more at home you will be in the new heaven and the new earth.

Letting go of an offense is not weakness. It is the strongest and kindest thing you can do. Living a life of grace means giving it as well as receiving it.

I love you sweet child. Go, in my grace.

When...

My prayer:

I just want to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

I haven't done all that I need to do in you yet. I still have hurts to heal. I still have dreams to realize. I have much yet to do in you and for you.

I have not waited out of punishment. I have waited for the right time. I have waited for everything to be in proper alignment to ensure the best possible results.

I am the God of the universe and I can see the end from the beginning. You will look back on this night and realize that it was not a matter of "if" it was only a matter of "when". Your "when" is coming soon. I have great things yet for you.

Purpose...

My prayer:

I have so many thoughts running through my head tonight God that I don't know which ones to talk with you about.  Life is this odd combination of peace, joy, revelation with an underlying concern that I am missing something in the whole process.

Trusting you with my life is the easiest and hardest thing I have ever done. Easy because you are so trustworthy and when I can truly trust, my life floats along in a stream of opportunities and blessings. Hard because, well, I am not sure why. There is no logical reason for it to be hard. You always come through for me. I guess it is just that it seems crazy sometimes. I know I don't deserve all that you do for me and that makes me think it will all go away some day.

What God Said Tonight:

I have yet to see the child of mine who lives free of all doubt. You are surrounded by a world that works very hard to convince you that you cannot trust me. That I do not exist or if I do, I am irrelevant. Your enemy, my enemy has worked very hard for many millennium to make this so.

I have you in this world for a purpose. Not so that you live in it and are adapted to it but so that you stand apart in it and show the truth. Show the truth of my love for you. Show the truth of my blessing. I have you here so that those who are adapted to the world can see what life can be like.

Hang on tightly to me. Let my presence remove all doubt. Let my record confirm for you your trust in me. I am with you now and forever.

Perfect peace...

My prayer:

I am at peace and content God. Not that everything is perfect. Life continues to throw challenges at me all the time. But for now, in this moment, I am at peace and content.

Living life with you allows for these moments of perfect peace. Nothing missing and nothing lacking. That is something that only comes from knowing you. The world doesn't provide it, I checked.

Thank you for your peace that passes all understanding. Thank you that I don't have to wait for life to be perfect before I get to experience perfect contentment. You are amazing.

What God Said Tonight:

You are in my arms. There is a place where there is perfect safety, perfect peace, perfect redemption and you will find it in my arms.

You fall down, I pick you up. You can't get into to someplace, I will lift you up. I will take you where you need to go and I will plant and water you in that place to be blessed.

I love you and you are mine now and forever.

Decisions...

My prayer:

Awesome God. It seems like there has been a lot of confusion about opportunities lately. Which opportunities should we go after and which ones should we leave alone. Then there are the opportunities that we think you put in our path but when we follow them, they fall apart.

God, I am always asking for your guidance and wisdom but it seems like me and those close to me are in a bit of a greater need than usual. Help us to see what you have for us and what is better left alone. Guide us clearly to those things that are for our best good and that are for the best good of you and your Kingdom.

Thank you!

What God Said Tonight:

I am a lighthouse in the dark. I never intend to leave you in the wilderness without a guide. I am in you and I will always guide you.

Your path is wider than you think. There are some opportunities, some decisions that are truly completely up to you. If you follow it, I will bless it. If you do not and choose something else, I will bless that.

I can tell you, when you have a decision and you have sought me for guidance and I am silent, it is often because the decision is yours and I can make any decision you make work for your good.

I will guide you when I need you someplace for a specific reason. For those things, I will make it very clear and it will be easy for you to follow. For the rest of the time, make the choices that seem best for you, the ones that follow your heart and your soul. I will work out the results for your good.

I love you and I will see you in your promised land.
