DREAM BIG...

My prayer:
Awesome God. I have been awfully busy doing stuff lately and I think I may have lost the big picture view. I think I may have lost track of the big dreams and big ideas of what you can really do. 


I have been saying, "God, whatever your will", which is not bad  but sometimes I think I say that so I won't get my hopes up for what I want. It is easier to not dream for big things than it is to be disappointed. And, the fact is, you have given me an amazing life. It almost feels greedy to ask for more. 


But a life without dreams is boring and quickly becomes dull. Shouldn't there be a middle ground? God help me to find the balance between obedience to your will and dreaming big for my future.


What God Said Tonight:
Balance? Have I ever asked you to be balanced in your dreams? Have I ever told you to think smaller? Have I ever told you not to dream? No, I love it when you dream big. No matter how big you dream, my dream for you is even bigger. 


Dream as big as you can, keeping your heart in alignment with mine and I will see you blessed beyond your belief. I will see you blessed abundantly. I will see your dreams are fulfilled. 


I love you daughter and I want you to have everything that you can dream. Your heart, your mind, is connected to me and your dreams are my dreams. My dreams are your dreams. I will tell you if you get off track. I won't let you wander away. I love you too much. But, let's do something big and wonderful together. 


Dream it and you can do it. Dream it and I will bring it to you. I love you daughter. DREAM BIG!

Where blessings come from...

My prayer:
All knowing God. I seem to be in the position lately to observe how seemingly small decisions, or even large decisions, can have such significant effects on people futures. Since I seem to be noticing it so much, I assume there is something I should be learning here. 


Just today, I saw someone potentially lose out on a great opportunity because she procrastinated by one day. That one day may make all the difference because someone else, who did not procrastinate, stepped in and will likely get the opportunity instead. She may never know how close she was to her blessing.


How often have I done that God? How often have I been one step away from a blessing that you have for me but, because I procrastinated or made the wrong choice, I lost out? It makes me realize how important every decision we make (and the ones we don't make or put off) are.


All knowing God, help me to make good decisions in time to receive everything you have for me. Thank you!


What God Said Tonight:
Focusing on what you don't have or on the blessings you missed will bring you nothing but misery and regret. Make the best choices you know how to make and trust me to bless you. Trust me to bless you out of my love for you, not because of anything you do or don't do. If you are following my lead, you will always be inn the right place at the right time. 


Instead of focusing on the things that you may have missed, spend more time focusing on all of the blessings that you have. Focus more on all of the wonderful blessings that make up your life. Thinking on good things will lift your spirit and encourage you. Focusing on the good will make each day better than the last. Focusing on the good will make the good grow until you can't imagine any lack. 


I am the giver of good gifts. Turn your head and look at what you have, not what you lack. I love you and I will bless you all of the days of your life. I will cause you to succeed. I will make sure that everything you do will prosper because you have my heart and I live in you. Love you.

Hope...

My prayer:
My God of hope. Today, discouragement came at me from every direction; but, because you are my hope, I did not get discouraged. Because you are my hope, I was able to encourage the people around me. There is such amazing peace when I know that you are in charge and that you will take care of me no matter what. Forgive me for all the times that I have forgotten that Lord. 


What God Said Tonight:
There is a fire coming that will consume everything that is not pure and not of me. There is a Holy Spirit fire that is going to fuel and encourage those who have a heart for me and will chase off all of those who don't. It is time to make a choice. It is time to start choosing sides for the battle to come. 


Will you choose life? Will you choose me? It will not always be easy but it will always be best. I will always provide for you. I will always be your hope. 


In the middle of battle, I am your hope. In the middle of what appears to be failure, I am your hope. In the middle of disaster, I am your hope. Remember Shadrach, Mishach and Abendego in the midst of the fire? I am even your hope in the middle of the fire. I love you daughter. Continue to find your hope in me. 

Live life to the fullest...

My prayer:
My awesome Lord. I am not sure how to talk about what is on my mind tonight. I have been thinking a lot about life today. Thinking about how short this life really is, even when we live out all of our days, it is still short. 


Then I got to thinking about how this life may be more important to people who don't have the confidence of living through eternity with you. If I thought that this is all there is, I might be a bit more intense and worry more. But, when I look at this life, the only thing that I can think of that I can only do while I am here, that I cant do when I live forever with you is that now, in this life, I can share you with people who don't know you yet. When I am living forever in heaven with you, everybody will know you already. 


Just thinking...Love you Daddy!


What God Said Tonight:
Live your life to the fullest. I have provided an abundance for you in this life. Eat well, sing often, laugh even more often. Spend every moment in my presence. Love the people around you. 


There is much for you in this life. I gave you life and it is good. The challenges in your life will only make you stronger. The blessings in your life will engulf you. The joy that I have for you is bubbling up and will overflow in your life. 


Heaven is wonderful. Our future together is fantastic. But, please don't fail to enjoy the life that you are in right now. Please don't think that because it is not "heaven" that it doesn't matter. 


Stop waiting for tomorrow and do it today. That thing you have been putting off until tomorrow, do it now. I will bless it and you. I want you to have the best life. I want you to have a life that you can look back on and think, that was good. Your eternity with me will come, but let's not rush it. Enjoy today. Today is good. I love you daughter.

Water...

My prayer:
I see a river of pure crystal clear water. I see the bottom of the river bed covered in smooth river rocks. I see the sunlight glinting off of the water and making the stones sparkle. 


Some describe your voice as running waters. Your voice to me has always been a calm sweet voice. It  comes with a complete sense of peace. Not unlike the feeling I have seeing this river in my mind tonight. The water is gently rolling over the stones. It is beautiful and peaceful. Just like you God, beautiful and peaceful. 


I love you God and I praise you. I give you all the glory God because you are glorious. I give you all my praise because you are worthy of praise. I give you all my love because you are love. I give you all of me because you made me and I belong to you. I love you God. Thank you for another wonderful day in your presence.


What God Said Tonight:
I am the living water that sustains you. I am the well that never runs dry. I am sufficient to supply all of your needs. My living water restores. My living water brings life to things that were dead. 


Let my living water roll over you tonight. There are some things that are dead in your life that I want to resurrect tonight. There are some dreams that have died that I want to bring back to life. There are some hopes that you have put away and allowed to wither and die but I am here tonight to bring them back to life. 


Find you hope in me. Remember that all things really are possible with me. I am your God and I love you. I will make sure that every detail of your life is blessed as long as you stick with me. 


Listen to me when there are hundreds of voices round you trying to get you to listen to them. There are many who have a legitimate message of my love. But always listen to me first...and last. I love you my sweet daughter.

Spring...

My prayer:

My Father. I have spent a lot of time talking about me lately. How about I stop talking tonight and just listen? That is what I love to do. To hear you speak to me and to spend time with you, that is the really good stuff.

What God Said Tonight:

Spring is coming daughter. In the natural and in the spiritual world, spring is coming. I know it looks cold, dark, and dead right now, but spring is coming and it will be beautiful beyond your belief. There will be beautiful flowers all around. Everything we be green with new growth. The air will be crisp and the Spirit will be fresh. 

Spring is the time of growth. It is the time for all of those seeds that you have sown to become wheat they were intended to become. The financial seed you have planted is about to come up in a crop for harvest. The time that you have sowed is about to come back in time of leisure and joy. That talent you have sowed is about to become your provision. It is about to multiply back into your life. 

I love you daughter and you will love this Spring. Don't get discouraged now. Not now when we are so close. Rest just a little bit more. Try to be patient. It is worth the wait. 

Strength...

My prayer:
Mighty God. I am simply worn out tonight. It is one of those nights where I wish I could just jump on  a plane and go to some far off island and hide for a day, a week, a month...or longer. 


Life can be overwhelming at times. I love you God and I don't mean to complain, but I am. Maybe it is the weather, can't believe we had more snow! Maybe it is stress. Maybe I just have the wrong attitude tonight. Whatever the cause, I just want to run away, just for awhile. 


Forgive me God for not being stronger. Give me the strength and whatever it is I need to stick to it and do all that you have for me. Let me escape in your arms tonight to strengthen me for tomorrow? Thank you Jesus.


What God Said Tonight:
I am your refuge and your strength. Stop trying to be strong in yourself and rely on my strength. My strength will never run out. 


You are trying to stand too much on your own again. I understand, I made you to be independent and strong; but, your strength will never be enough. Be independent but don't be independent of me. Be strong but don't be strong outside of my strength in you. 


I am everything that you need. I will take you anywhere you want to go but I won't help you run away. I will give you everything you need to stand strong. Just remember it is my strength you are standing in. I am your strong tower and I will never fall. Lean on me for your strength and you will never grow weary. 


I love you daughter and I am with you now and forever. I am your strength and I will never let you down.
