God's protection...

My prayer:

Amazing and wonderful God. I am so grateful that I know you God. I am grateful that you put excellent teachers around me to teach me about you before I was able to hear you for myself. 

Thank you for making it plain in your word and leaving that so any of us can get to know you. Thank you God that you are always true to who you are and that every experience in this life reinforces the God that I know. God, thank you for being love. Thank you for not being angry with me. Thank you for being ever patient with me. Thank you for providing a way to salvation for me that did not require me to be perfect. Thank you God for loving me today, yesterday and tomorrow. 

I love you God!

God, this world can be a bit scary sometimes. I was reminded today of that. I pray and ask that you put your hedge of protection around me, my family, my friends and keep us safe. Please always remember to keep that army of warrior angels around me. And, make sure they know how much I appreciate them too!

What God Said Tonight:

There is a cloud over you tonight but it does not have to be there. I will ALWAYS protect you. I will never let the enemy hurt you in that way again. 

I think what you realized today was something that you use to know but maybe forgot. You forgot that people, even really good people, can make bad choices. I think you forgot that even though you are protected and in my will that you will see things sometimes that are ugly. I think you forgot that sometimes you make choices and do things that are not so pretty either. 

Do not judge and rest in the absolute knowledge that I am with you and I will protect you now and forever. I love you and I am your defense against the enemy. I am your Father and your protector. I am your guard and your army. I am your offense and your defense. 

I love you daughter and I will keep you safe.

Listening to God...

My prayer:

Well, today wasn't anything like I thought it would be. If I had just listened to you, I could saved myself some time. Holy Spirit, you try to help me out all the time with that still small voice. I want to be better about listening to you during the day. You try to help, but I get so busy or so intent on what I think I should be doing that I ignore you and end up wasting time and energy. I feel pretty stupid God. Help me to listen better?

What God Said Tonight:

I can speak but I can't make you hear. I can lead, but I can't make you follow. I gave you free will. I gave you the choice. I will always speak, guide, help you  but it is really up to you to pay attention and to receive the help. 

That being said, today was no big deal. You needed a day of rest, you had one, even though it was somewhat imposed upon you. Things turned out just as they should. My will is still sovereign and in charge of your life. Your destination is set. How you get there is up to you.

How to get blessed...

My prayer:

What a weird day God. It was different and I said I wanted different. Careful for what you ask for, right? 

God, we have the big event tomorrow night. I pray and ask that you be in charge of every aspect. I ask that you bring every volunteer that you want  to be there to be the perfect team for what you want to do. I pray over the speakers that you anoint them to speak your words. I pray over the technology and the sound/lights that nothing can interfere with what you have to say. I pray that it touches people's hearts so that your ministry can continue to do what you want it to do. Thank you God for the opportunity to be a part of it.

What God Said Tonight:

If you are living in my will, you don't really have to pray for me to bless it. You can still pray. It will make you feel more assured but I will bless the things that I want to happen. I will bless those that follow my lead. I will bless the things that I want to move forward and succeed. 

I am with you my daughter and I am blessing your steps because they are ordered by me. You will always win in the end when you walk in my steps for you. You are destined to succeed. Remember that? How many times have you been told that? Well, it is true. Bit it is true because you are in my will. 

Rest assured that I am with you and I want you to be blessed as much or even more than you want to be blessed. I want to see the event prosper as much or more than you do. It is my desire to see you prosper and I will see that it happens. 

I love you daughter. Get some rest for tomorrow will be a long day but a good one. 

If at first you don't succeed...

My prayer:

Mighty God. I am looking forward to a change of pace tomorrow God. Still a busy day but doing different things at least. Definitely fell into a rut these last couple of weeks of crazed busyness. I love that you are always fresh and you are always new, even though you never change. It is one of those mysteries of you God that doesn't make sense when you say it out loud but somehow is entirely true anyway. You go beyond our ability to explain you and that is pretty cool. I love you God and can't wait to see what you have in mind next.

What God Said Tonight:

I have just a few words tonight. Your life is full of purpose. Don;t always take the easy road. So many things come easy to you because of the favor I have on your life.  However, every once in awhile, I have something for you but you will need to work for it. I will need you to keep trying even when you are not very good at it the first time. I have a few things for you that I need you to fail at first so that when you go back and succeed, you know that you only succeed because of me in you. I love you so much and can't wait to see you breakthrough.

Beautiful love...

My prayer:

Amazing God you are so beautiful. Your love is so beautiful. Your promises are so beautiful. Your will is so beautiful. You are so beautiful. There is a clarity and a beauty in your presence that I don't find anywhere else. God, I honor your beauty tonight.

What God Said Tonight:

Mmmm. Let me love you tonight. Let me show you how much I love you. Let me wrap my arms around you so you can feel my love. Let me blanket you with peace and joy so you might know my love for you. Let me show you visions of the future so you might know my love for you. Let me shower you with blessings so you might know my love for you. Let me rain my love down on your so it covers all that you are and nourishes you to grow into all that I have for you. 

My love for you is NEVER in question. It is the one thing you can ALWAYS count on. I love, love love you!

Enjoy the mystery...

My Prayer:

Awesome God. I just want to listen tonight. What do you want to talk about? I am all ears...

What God Said Tonight:

I am going to ask one thing of you tonight. Stop trying to figure it all out. Get out of your head for a little while and understand that there are mysteries in this life that you may never fully know and understand. 

Then, instead of getting angry about that, try and recognize the beauty of the mystery. It is the mystery of life that keeps it interesting. You do not need to always have the answer. Only I have that. Only I can know everything. And, because I am your father, I will always make sure you know what you need to know when you need it. 

But, for now, stop. Study to gain knowledge but know that you will never know it all. Don't expect that or try for it. Enjoy the beauty of mystery.

Right here...

My prayer:

Awesome God. Today was a day of remembering lessons you have already taught me like how to battle through when the enemy comes at me from every direction. 

God, thank you for all that you have taught me over the years about battle. Thank you for being my protector and my rear guard. Thank you God that you and your will are ALWAYS victorious in the end. 

God, I am fighting off fear tonight because you have not given me a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. I love you, I trust you, I am grateful for you and for all that you teach me. Leaving it in your hands tonight God.

What God Said Tonight:

I am right here, I am right with you. The struggle has a purpose and the battle has a reason. You are getting stronger in this season and you are trusting me. You not the reason for this battle but you will benefit from it in the end. You are the vehicle I need to do this thing and I am grateful that you are willing. 

I will not let it last any longer than absolutely necessary. I am at the controls watching for the exact moment that I can switch the rails and see you victorious in my glory. You will see the glory of God in this. 

Keep your eyes on me. When fear comes, keep your eyes on me. When attacks come, remember that I am right with you to fight. You are NEVER ALONE. I am ALWAYS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. I love you too much to ever leave you. And, when I am with you, who or what can cause you to be afraid?
