The History: A couple of years ago, I started journaling my prayers and God's responses to them. I told my friends about this, they were really interested. I told my Pastor about it and he said, how about sharing those on line. When I asked God, He said, my words are for you, but not just for you. And, here we are...I hope He speaks to you in these words.

Don't forget your neighbor...

My prayer:
What a week God.  Who could have predicted all of the changes of this week.  Talk about your suddenlies!  I am still spinning a bit.  But in the middle of it all, I got to know that you were in charge and working it all out.  What an amazing blessing that is. I mean really, how great is that.  In the middle of chaos, I get to know and trust that

my Daddy is in charge and taking care of me. Nothing better than that. 

God I love you so much.  What would I do without you?  What would I have done if I had never known you?  If no one had ever told me about you and taught me how to get to know you?  God, that's why it is so important to me to show your people how to really know you.  I can't imagine life without this relationship with you and I don't want anyone to miss out on it.  You are so amazing and people need you even if they don't realize it. 

God I pray that you continue to show me ways to teach people how to get to know you.  New ways that really show you to people.  That really show people how to know you and be in a relationship with you.  I know that is what you want too so please help me to teach or show people how to get to know you. 

Thank you God for every amazing person you put in my life that showed me and show me how to know you better every day.  Continue please God to show yourself to me.  Please continue to take me deeper into this relationship.  God Let's go deeper.  I never want to live one day without you my God.

What God Said Tonight:
You are the teacher I made you to be and you can't help but teach.  I will keep showing you ways to do it because we are in this thing together.  We, my girl, are a team. 

You are so very precious to me.  I love how much you want to help.  I am so glad that you don't keep silent about our relationship.  I am so glad that you want others to share it. 

Remember to share the relationship with others both by showing what you have found with me but also in loving them.  Love the unlovable.  Show them that they are sons and daughters of the most high God no matter who they think they are, no matter where they came from, no matter what they have done.  Show people that I love them and always will through loving on them yourself. 

You have gotten so good at worshiping me and loving on me and I love that more than you can know.  But don't forget your neighbor.  Don't forget your friends.  Don't forget the life that you have still to live. 

You have so much to do so many new people to meet and to love.  You have a lifetime of amazing people that I will continue to bring into your life.  Before you realize it you will have friends and neighbors in every country around the world.  Be a good friend.  Be a good sister to them.  Remember to love them with the same love that you have for me. 

I am trusting you with many things right now but none of it is worth anything if you don't have love.  You need to love and be loved everyday.  I designed you for it. 

You also need to rest and I see you fading now.  Rest and sleep and tomorrow we will do,see and experience even more.  This week was big but wait until you see what is next.  You are ready.  Love you my daughter.

ALWAYS right...

My Prayer:
Mighty powerful God.  I love you and I am here but I am exhausted tonight.  Today was good but exhausting. 

You were so right about the changes that felt so chaotic earlier this week turning into great opportunities.  You are really always right.  That shouldn't come as a surprise.  I mean you are God after all.  But you are ALWAYS right. 

So, if that is so obvious and so true, why am I not faster to trust you?  Why do I ever have one moment of worry?  I know your promises.  I know that you have promised to always prosper me, to open the windows of heaven on my life, to make me the head and not the tail, to provide for me out of your riches in glory.  With promises like that, if I could ever truly understand that you are ALWAYS right, I would never have one minute of worry for the rest of my life. 

God I pray for increased understanding in this.  God help me to get the understanding of that from my head to my gut.  Help me to know without a shadow of  a doubt that you are always right.  Help me to remember it.  I think this is really important God.  If I can really get this, I think the rest of my life is going to be a whole lot easier and happier.  God I make a conscious choice to believe you tonight in every promise you have given me and to trust that you are always right.  I love you Father.

What God Said Tonight:
Yes my daughter, I am always right.  I can't really help it.  When you are the creator of the universe, all powerful and all knowing, everything I say becomes reality.  I am the great creator and my word creates reality.  You have heard it preached that I cannot lie because once I have said something, that thing becomes the truth, becomes real.  When I speak, there is life in my words.  That life goes into the world and creates. 

That is one way you can always tell my work from the devil's work.  My work will always build and bring life,  His will always tear down and kill. 

You are farther in this area of trust than you think.  You don't worry nearly like you use to but I am glad that you are ready to go even farther.  Worry is such a waste of time and it really is just a declaration that you don't trust me to take care of you.  That hurts me and it really discourages those kids of mine that have not decided to live for me yet.  They see you, a follower of Christ and you are just as worried and stressed out about life as they are...well, why would they want any part of me then? 

Your worry is destructive to yourself and those around you.  It also doesn't make me feel very good.  Imagine someone tells  you they are going to trust you to take care of their home or their kids.  You agree and then they call you every five minutes to check in and make sure everything is ok.  At some point you will likely wonder and maybe ask, why did they ask me to take care of this house, these kids in the first place if they didn't believe I could do it? 

I wonder sometimes, when you bring me something to take care of and you immediately and repeatedly come back and try to take the controls again; it makes me wonder why you brought it to me in the first place.  When you bring me your problems, your troubles, your struggles, leave them with me.  Don't keep taking them back.  Trust me you don't want the problem and you definitely don't want the worry. 

I love you daughter.  Keep studying and keep striving.  My love will overflow you and you will prosper.  I love you now and forever.  Let's do this thing!

Let me love you...

My prayer:
God my God.  King of the Universe.  My Lord.  How are you tonight God?  What is on our mind and your heart tonight.  What do you need tonight God.  If you need someone to listen, I am here.  I love the sound of your voice.  I love the experience of your presence. I love you God and just want to be with you tonight. 

What God Said Tonight:
You are my precious child.  I am reminded of what I thought of, what I was thinking when I created you.  I remember that day when I created you and knit you in your mother's womb.  That was a beautiful day full of hope and promise. 

I have created, ordained, planned such a great future for you.  I am so excited to see it all coming together.  I am happy to just spend time with you.  I am pleased to be with my precious daughter who I created specially for this time and this purpose.  You are walking into your full purpose and it is going to be so good. 

I want to hold you tonight.  I want you to rest in my arms and let me love you.  I want to be your covering and your peace tonight.  I want my love to envelop you like a soft fog of the ocean shore.  I want to surround you with my love.  I want you to know my love in a new way and a new level tonight.  My love for you is limitless.  Your experience of it is limited.  I want to move that limit tonight so you can have a new measure, a new level of my love. 

Will you receive it?  Will you let me love you more? Will you let me show you my love tonight?

You, my precious daughter mean the world to me.  I would do it all again just for you.  I will love you beyond the end of time.  Receive it, please don't turn your back on my love.  There is nothing more important and nothing you need more than my love so please receive it, fill up on it, sate yourself with it.  You will need it later. 

Are you full or can you take a little more?  I look at you and see you as perfect.  I see you through the blood of your sacrifice and you are perfect.  You are everything I ever hoped you would be.  You are washed clean and ready for the next phase of this thing called life.  You will succeed.  We will succeed. We will prosper you wherever you go.  Rest daughter and stay wrapped in my love tonight.

Chaos...


My prayer:
My Lord and God. I am sure glad you are in charge. Today had so many surprises, I am left just a little stunned and not knowing what to think. God, in the middle of this sudden chaos in my life I pray for your peace. I pray God that you say to this situation, "peace, be still." I pray for the peace that passes all understanding. I need your peace tonight God. I pray for your peace and your help to make sense of the sudden change.

I need to shut up tonight God and listen to you. My thoughts are too chaotic and all over the place. I leave it all in your hands God. What do you have to say tonight God?

What God Said Tonight:
It isn't really chaos. It was all planned since the beginning of time. I know it seems like chaos to you because you didn't see it coming. If I told you everything that was coming, life would be so boring.

You don't yet realize it, but this is a great opportunity. This sudden change isn't something to fear but something to cherish. I can and will use anything to bless you. I will turn every situation around to your good. I love doing that. I love taking the very thing that was intended to take you out and turning it around into your biggest blessing. I love seeing your face when I do it. I love the testimony and story that it gives you to share with others. I love that I can always count on you to share it!

I will bring you through this chaos, this storm and you will prosper. Trust and rest knowing that today was not a surprise to me. Rest knowing that I have everything under control and I will not let you fall.

You are just beginning. There is so much more to do. You will see me in every country and every part of this world working personally in each individual life. You will see it. I know you are thinking, "How is that possible." But, wait and see if it isn't true.

I love you daughter. Remember who I am and trust in me. Don't look at the waves, the storm the chaos. Look at me. Don't take your eyes off of me. Look at me with the steady gaze of a first love. Don't take you eyes off of me and everything else will fall into place. I love you so much. Rest, trust, live. I love you.

Receive the good...

My prayer:
Awesome teacher, mighty God. I am not sure what to pray about tonight. Thank you for a good day. I got to check a lot of stuff off of the to do list.

But, I sit here tonight with the picture of those starving kids in my head. God, there are people in such desperate need all over the world today. How can I make a difference? How can I help even a little? It is so big, so overwhelming. Puts my life in perspective for sure. I live this truly privileged life and I have the nerve to complain? I ask for forgiveness for every ungrateful thought I have ever had or expressed to you God.

God I pray that you wrap yourself around every hurting, hurt, starving, crying, abused, and sweet child throughout the world. I can't do much but you can. Bring them angels to take care of them. Bring them people, your people, to rescue them. Love them God so that they can feel it. And God, let it be enough. Let your grace and mercy be enough. Comfort them and cradle them and let them know a love like no other.

I love you God. I thank you for a life of privilege and abundance God; even though right now that privilege and abundance is making me feel pretty guilty in the face of the needs. What do I do God? What do I give? How can I make a difference? I love you God and I need your help for their sake and for mine.

What God Said Tonight:
I have much to tell you tonight but I don't want to overwhelm you so one thing at a time. You should never feel guilty for being blessed. I bless you out of my love for you. You share that blessing every day which allows me to bless you more. You give away the blessing making room for more blessing in our life. That is beautiful. That is not something to feel guilty about.

Guilt is not from me. When you feel guilty you are receiving and accepting a gift from satan. He cannot give good gifts and it is within your rights to refuse to accept it. You are not required to accept any thing from him, least of all guilt.

You are right the need is so great. There are people, children (although you are all children to me) that are suffering right now and it breaks my heart. It hurts me more than you can know. The pain is truly staggering. Much of the need that is created is a result of the sin in the world. Each time I see that need I can feel the whips on my back again, the nails in my hands, the blood on my face and as much as it hurts, the pain gives me hope, knowing that the sin is paid for if people will only accept my gift.

You are so quick to receive gifts from satan like guilt. Why is it so hard to receive my gifts which are always so good? I don't need an answer but I want you to think about it. Why do you accept the bad, the hurt, the painful things and refuse the good? I need you to receive the good that I have for you. The more you receive the good and share the good, the more good there is in the world and the less tragic need. Receive it and spread it around.

You ask how you can help in a meaningful way. That's is what you do. Receive the good that I have for you and spread it as far and as wide as you can. Let everybody have a taste so that they come to me for more. It is a sweet , sweet gift that I have for you. Don't be afraid of the good gifts I have for you. Reject the bad gift and receive the good.

I love you daughter. I want you to rest in my arms tonight and let me comfort you. Know that tomorrow there are more opportunities to help but for now, rest in my arms and let me wipe away your tears. I will do it for you just as I am doing it for them, just as you asked. I love you sweet daughter. Rest in me.

Beyond the words...

My prayer:
Lord God, my provider, my healer, my joy and my peace. God You are and remain so incredible and I stand in awe of you. The way you orchestrate everything is so amazing. The way you bring us all together at just the right times to be the most effective at getting your work done God...I've said it a lot lately God, but WOW! You are truly amazing.

I praise you tonight God. I don't want to talk about my needs tonight, or ask for anything. I just want you to know how much I appreciate all that you are doing. I get so frustrated at times like this because I just don't have the right words or enough words to communicate what I feel. I want you to know God how amazing I think you are. I want you to know that I recognize that my life is worth less than nothing without you. I want you to know that it is only because of you that I get out of bed each day. I want you to know that because of what you do, have done and will do in my life, my life has meaning.

My life has purpose because of you. How do I say thank you for something as huge as that? How do I say thank you for sacrificing your life, paying my debt, conquering hell for me so that I get to know you and live forever with you? That is just so crazy big, no one has ever made that sacrifice for someone else. No one else ever could. How do I thank you for doing something that no one else ever could. Something I could never pay back?

It comes back to asking you God to see my heart. Hear my words through my heart to know the depth and the extent of them. I love you so much.

God thank you for showing me the vision today of all of the individual lives, the individual people with individual needs and joys throughout the world. Again, not something I can describe in words, but I will never forget that feeling, that experience. Each life, with unique needs but a commonality among us all and above all, a need for you.

Thank you for being you and for all that you do.

What God Said Tonight:
There is a golden reflection on the dark water tonight. My light is shining in the darkness. I don't mean to get too weird on you but picture that light. It is beautiful and provides the hope that the world needs. The world is filled with darkness but the light remains and is beautiful.

One day the light will completely overwhelm the dark. Until then, I need you all to reflect my light. Each reflection makes this world brighter. I have a plan, a purpose and a job for each of my children. You have begun to really see your job and your purpose. It is a bit different than what you thought. The rest will come too. For now, this is what I need you to do.

I hear your heart daughter and I love you so much too. I am glad that we are not limited to words when we communicate. I am glad that we have words. I am glad that you talk to me and I can talk to you. Words are important and create reality. But we can also "talk" to each other in pictures and in the unexplainable like the "vision" I gave you today. Just as I can show you those things that go beyond speech, when you are pouring out your heart in truth, I experience the purpose and heart behind your words.

I get it daughter. I love that you work so hard to make sure I know your appreciation. Don't stop. When you do it, when you strive to let me know how much you love me, it strengthens our relationship and reminds you how important the realtionship is to you. It keeps you from growing complacent, so don't stop; but know that I do "hear" you. I hear the whole of it, not just the words.

You are entering a new level a new season. It is a wild ride, but you are prepared and you will love it. Stay connected to the people I have brought to you. Stay on the path putting one foot in front of the other and trust me to bring you each thing as it needs to get done. You have been in these seasons before where there is more to accomplish than there is time to accomplish it. You know how to do it. Just do each thing as I put it in front of you and it will all get accomplished.

I love you daughter. Sleep well and rest in my full experience of love for you, beyond the words. Experience me tonight as I have experienced you.

Faithfulness...

My prayer:
Mighty God, Awesome Lord, Wonderful Father, thank you for today. Thank you for rest and thank you for the ability and opportunities to bless some folks.

Tomorrow God is church, a time for us to come together and worship you. It is also Halloween. I am not sure but I don't remember the two falling on the same day, although clearly it would have had to. It sounds like a set up for you to do amazing things.

God I pray that your presence is so powerful and so present tomorrow that nothing gets in the way of it. I pray God that you draw people to the services that will mean the most to them and help them to know you. I pray that you direct each of us, not only where to worship, but how to serve you and your people. Thank you for opportunities to serve. Thank you for blessing us. Thank you for hearing us and thank you for talking to us.

God you are so very good to me. When things are going badly, you show me the way out, the answer. When things are going good, you just pour on blessing after blessing. When I am alone, you are with me. When I am angry, you bring me peace. When I an sad you bring me joy and when I am happy you celebrate with me. You really are my everything God.

I pray that I get to know you even better. I pray God that you make me a blessing in others lives. I pray God that you help me to respond with love, always.

I guess that is about it God. It doesn't feel like enough of a prayer with all of the amazing things you are doing right now. I feel pretty inadequate in the shadow of what you are doing. The good part of that is I don't forget who is doing it. It is all you God and I am so grateful you let me be a part of it. God I love you. Please receive our corporate worship tomorrow as a sweet fragrance and small representation of how we, how I love you.

What God Said Tonight:
Wait just a little longer. There is more. You are so enjoying this season and it is good, but more is coming.

I value faithfulness. I value your faithfulness. I appreciate that when you tell me or anyone else that you will do something you make sure that you do it. Meeting me every night like this, that is faithfulness.

Faithfulness allows me to bless you in new and abundant ways. Faithfulness is the key to unlocking your potential. There is a steadiness, a trustworthiness in a faithful person that allows me to add responsibility, opportunity and blessings into their lives at a level that is not possible without it.

I value many things. I value you and your brothers and sisters above everything. One of the top three things I value is faithfulness. Their is honesty reflected in faithfulness. There is respect reflected in faithfulness. There are so many things that are included in being faithful. There is obedience in being faithful.

Remain faithful my daughter and there is really no end to what we will do. Each day, remember your promises and keep them. Every day remember your commitments and fulfill them. Ask me for help when you need it, but fulfill your commitments every day.

I love you so much. I will remain faithful to you in every promise. I will never go back on my word. I will never forget a promise to you. I will always provide for you my precious daughter. I love you. Go rest and prepare for tomorrow.
