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.

Thoughts...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I am thinking about habits tonight. They are tough to break. Especially habitual thoughts. I know you tell us to take every thought captive unto you but I have to say, that is a lot easier said than done. 

My thoughts wander all over the place and sometimes get stuck in a habitual circle that is so hard to break out of. 

I can change my words, I can change my behavior, but how do I change my thoughts? How does this taking thoughts captive really work? We say it all of the time, but I am not sure that I have ever really managed to do it for any length of time. 

Thanks for letting me bring anything to you God.

What God Said Tonight:

My thoughts are not your thoughts. 

You cannot control what you don't think about but you can control what you do think about. What I mean to say is you can't stop yourself from thinking about something unless you replace it with something else to think about. 

Remember when I say to think on good things? That is not only so you will have good thoughts but also to push out the negative thoughts. It is like the analogy that we have been talking about of light and darkness. When there is light, darkness has to leave. When there is positive thinking, negative thinking must go. 

The more you fill your mind with good things, things that lift you up, things that inspire you and others, the less you will find yourself in the negative cycles of thought. Hope that helps.

GOD, HERE, NOW...

My prayer:

Magnificent God. I need to feel your presence tonight God. I need to hear your voice. I need that intimate experience of you that is unlike any other experience on earth. I need you to be with me and in me tonight so I know that you are there. Make yourself more evident to me tonight God. 

What God Said Tonight:

I am here in your always. Draw close to me and I will draw close to you. There is no separation. 

My love for you is beyond imagining and has existed since the beginning of time. I have waiting for this moment with you since I formed the earth. You are precious to me. Your every thought, action, desire, hurt, joy, and goal is dear to me. 

I am in you and you are in me and nothing will ever change that. You can trust that forever. 

I will draw all men unto you through my presence shining through you. You will have opportunities unknown to man before this time because of me in you. 

I will not stay silent and I will not be a passive passenger in your life. I will guide you, I will help you, I will redeem you and I will heal you, now and forever. I will protect you and most of all I will love you always. 

When everything and everyone fails you, I will still be here. I love you.

Emotions...

My prayer:

Awesome God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Emotions are messy and unreliable. Yet without them, there is no color, no joy in life. It seems pretty clear that you have emotions. When I look at your Word, in the old covenant, you had all kinds of emotions and when you came to earth as Jesus, you showed a lot of emotions. But you sure seem to handle emotions better than I do. 

God, I pray for help with my emotions. I ask that you help me to experience them as they are meant to be experienced and not allow them to overwhelm me. I understand that I might not feel wonderful all of the time but when I don't, help me to learn what I need to learn and move on quickly.

What God Said Tonight:

Who ever told you that you were not supposed to be overwhelmed by your emotions from time to time?

Emotions are the expression of your soul. They are in you for a great purpose, many purposes to be more accurate. You don't like them because you do not have perfect control of them but they were not intended to be controlled perfectly.

Let your emotions have room to express themselves or they will build and bust out in ways that are harmful. If you are not sure where or how you can share them with, share them with me. I promise, I can handle them, no matter how intense.

Waiting...

My prayer:

My attitude stinks tonight God so how about I keep my mouth shut and listen to you instead? 

What God Said Tonight:

Seasons my child. You know about seasons. I know that the season of waiting is never your favorite, but there is value in the waiting. 

There can be peace and rest in the waiting. I am waiting with you if that helps. 

I have things perfectly planed out and the timing is important. The waiting is not too much longer. The waiting is a space to prepare. It is a time to get your things in order so we can go full speed when it is time. Check your life for things that need to be put in place. It will make the waiting go faster.

Healing the hurts...

My prayer:

Wonderful night with you and good friends God! 

God, open my eyes that I can see all of you. Open my ears that I can hear everything that you have to say. Open my heart to receive all that you have for me. Open my mind that I can understand you. I want to know all of you, every aspect, every nuance, every angle that makes up who you are. 

Help me to know you better.

What God Said Tonight:

I am an open book, literally. My nature is on display for all to see. My presence is available to all, all the time. 

You sometimes get blocked by the hurt and pain that gets you wrapped up and behind walls. It makes it harder for you to see me, harder for you to hear me. Let me in to heal the hurt, then you can remove the bandages, tear down the walls and see me fully. 

Let me in to the hurts that you don't even think that you can face, let alone share them with me. I promise, there is no hurt that is bigger or stronger than my healing power. Let me heal the broken parts and you will see me, hear me, feel me, experience me more clearly than every before. 

I love you so much my child, now and forever.

Extraordinary...

My prayer:

My thoughts are a jumble tonight God. I am not sure even how to organize them enough to talk to you about them. I hope that you hear my heart tonight because my words and thoughts are not really going to be enough. 

I have a great life. You have provided so many blessings in my life, amazing people, your peace, your joy, a great job, undeserved favor. It is a really great life. It is a pretty stable life too. Which is good and I am extremely grateful. But, I want more. 

More excitement, more life changing experiences, more you. The day to day drudgery of life is just not enough. I want my life to matter, everyday. I want to see people amazed at your power, love, and kindness, everyday. I want to walk under an open heaven, everyday!

Does that make me crazy, greedy, both? Probably. I just don't think I was wired for ordinary. I want extraordinary!

What God Said Tonight:

Extraordinary comes with it's own set of problems but it is where you were created to live. I have an extraordinary life for you. It takes some work to find it. It takes some time to reveal it. But it is there and always has been. It is all around you. 

You change more lives than you know right now. But I understand, you want the full package. We are going there, we will get to that place of miraculous living together. You will see into spiritual realms like never before. You will pray and my promises will manifest, immediately in the physical. You will see great change in the world and in people. 

My life, my Spirit is in you. With the Spirit of the living God of all creation within you, how can your life be ordinary? 

I love you and I promise that what you see today is not all that there is. I promise that tomorrow will be new. I promise that you have not done and experienced all that I have for you yet. I love you.

One with God...


My prayer:

Awesome God. I am loving the insight you are downloading in me lately! Such joy and freedom in this stuff!

I have started to realize over the last few days that when I truly see you and me as one, suddenly life and the struggles of life become something we approach together instead of something I have to figure out. 


In particular, when I am being tempted by sin, by something that I know will likely result in negative consequences, in the past I would have tried to resist with my own self will and determination. I would try to use my logic or behavioral modification techniques to resist. 

Now that I am beginning to realize that I am one with you, I take the struggle to you and ask you how we are going to handle it. I realize that you are facing the same challenge, the same temptation because you are in me. I see us approaching the challenge as a team, together, as one. 


There is great comfort and I am betting, much greater success in this approach than trying to figure it out myself. It also provides freedom from guilt and beating myself up for being tempted in the first place which is such a waste of time and so damaging. 

Thank you God for being in me and me in you. Thank you for helping me to better understand what that means. I LOVE THIS JOURNEY WE ARE ON!!

What God Said Tonight:

The journey is one of faith and love. The journey is one where we get to know each other and fall more in love than ever. 

Falling in love is wonderful. Staying in love is powerful. 

We are in this together. You never have to face anything on your own ever again because I truly am in you and you are in me. Everything that  you face, good, bad, indifferent for the rest of eternity is something that we face together. You are never alone.
