Eyes up...

My prayer:

Thank you for getting me through this day God. It is by your grace and strength that I am here tonight. Let me hear your voice before I say goodbye to this day.

What God Said Tonight:

Flowers in the bud. Leaves on the vine. A time is coming where all will be fulfilled. As sure as the sun comes up in the morning, my word will come to pass. 

I don't tell you these things to boast and I don't tell you to raise your hopes unfairly. I tell you because it is truth. 

My Kingdom come. My Kingdom is coming. Keep your eyes up and your spirit ready. 

I love you, now and forever.

The next season...

My prayer:

A day free of worry and responsibility, thank you Jesus! That is a true day of rest. I do not know what this week will bring but I know I will not be facing it alone and that is enough for tonight. I love you and want to hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Late in the season you begin to see the changes that tell you a new season is arriving. In spring you begin to see green and flowers. In summer you begin to see hot days. In fall the beautiful change of the leaves. 

These harbingers of the next season are there as signs of hope, declarations that time is not standing still, and the circumstance you are in today will not last. 

Look to the harbingers of your next season. They are all around you. You will see glimpses of what I have coming for you and it is glorious. I love you daughter.

Waterfall of blessings...

My prayer:

What a great evening God! Thank you for giving us time with an old friend. It was pretty wonderful having the old gang together. 

Thank you also for your words last night. Today was so much better, just being conscious of you and not taking you for granted. Life is better when we walk through it arm in arm. LOVE YOU!!

What God Said Tonight:

A waterfall of blessings is on its way. I am about to pour out again. Get ready to be rained on. 

I love you and my blessings have been waiting for this time. Lean back , lift your head, and receive. 

Taken for granted...

My prayer:

I feel like I have run out of things to talk about lately God. Things are reasonably good. Each day with some joy and some challenges. But, really, nothing that rises to the level of bothering you about. Maybe this is just one of those stable periods and if it is, I should just be grateful for it. 

But, I worry that, if I am running out of things to say to you, does that mean that we are not as close as we should be or as we used to be? Am I less connected with you than I was? 

That, more than anything, is my greatest fear. A separation from you, no matter how small or how partial, is my greatest fear. 

What God Said Tonight:

You know the answer before I even start to speak. To be closer to me, seek me out. If you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me. Seek me, search me, study my word. 

There is no magic. It is like any relationship. Spend time with me. Talk with me. Love me. You will find the intimacy you think you have lost. 

The truth is, you have not lost anything. The intimacy we have always had is right here. But, those things that are always present are the first things that you tend to take for granted. Maybe you have taken our intimacy for granted. That has left you in this place. 

So, stop. Now that you see it, stop taking it for granted and remember how precious our relationship is. I cherish it. I know you do too. I love you.

Enough...

My prayer:

I only ask for one thing tonight God. Let me hear your voice.

What God Said Tonight:

Enough. It is enough. You don't have to try any harder. You don't have to do any more. It is enough. 

Everyone just relax a minute, Allow me to repair and heal you. Allow me to love and comfort you. 

Stop trying to fix it all yourself. I never intended that. 

I love you. Stop, rest, and let me show you. 

Coming back...

My prayer:

Thank you for all of the protection today God! I am exhausted but I am home safe and there were several times today where I was not sure that would happen. What a great protector you are!

What God Said Tonight:

You don't have much longer to wait, I am on my way. Restoration is near and we won't go to sleep hungry. 

No matter what you see, I am near. No matter what your fear, I am still on my way. The second coming is not a fantasy. I am on my way back and the time will be here before you know it. 

I love you and I will see you soon.

A bump in the road...

My prayer:

Today was pretty rotten God. I try to find the positive in every day but the only positive thing about today is it is over. Everything was so hard today! Things that normally are no problem, even little things, went wrong and took 10 times the effort and 10 times the time to get done. Uggghhhh!

I pray and ask for rest and restoration, knowing that every day is a new day with you and that my hope is in you.

What God Said Tonight:

Take a deep breath. Things are not as bad as they seem. Today was a bump in the road, not a permanent destination. 

Sometimes the battle gets a bit rough and the flotsam spills over into the physical world. But remember, the battle is not yours. Rest and trust in me to defeat our enemy. Hold on a bit more. 

I need you to to remember one thing. As hard as everything was today, in the end, you got it done. in the end, it is taken care of. In the end, we win. In the midst of the struggle, remember we always win in the end. 

I love you. Hang tough daughter.
