In today's episode, we catch a breathtaking glimpse of the eternal city of God, a place where darkness no longer exists and where the glory of God provides unending light. Reference: Revelation 21:23 Prayer: Father, from the beginning you gave us light to draw a boundary to the darkness you used it to show us the way to go to give us understanding and to reveal deep and hidden truths in your Word.

His light is how we reflect your glory to others. May we remember today that your light is the gift that is to be experienced, enjoyed, and shared every day of the year. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer for Christmas Eve by Stacey ThackerWe can confidently say, “That’s not me—that’s Jesus in me.”In today’s episode, we reflect on the beautiful truth found in 2 Corinthians 4:6–7—that the God who spoke light into existence has chosen to place His glorious light within us.God chooses broken, sinful people not despite their weakness, but because of it.

A Prayer to Love the Light by Stacey ThackerWhile we love redemption stories—especially during the Christmas season—Jesus reminds us that some people cling to darkness rather than stepping into the freedom of the light. This episode invites us to consider the condition of our own hearts and to intercede for those we love who are still walking in darkness, asking God to gently knock on the doors of their hearts. Reference: John 3:19 Prayer: Father, you sent your son into the world because you loved us and desired to have an eternal relationship with us. That is the best news. I know people right now who don't know you personally. They live in darkness. And I pray that you would knock on the door of their hearts today. Open their eyes and Lord to the light and love you have for them in Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer for True Joy at Christmas by Gina L. SmithChristmas lights are beginning to glow—on rooftops, around trees, in windows—quiet reminders that joy has come. Yet for many, this season doesn’t automatically feel joyful.In today's episode, we explore this very real human experience, God sent light. Not a distraction or a seasonal escape, but a person. Jesus stepped into the darkness of our world—and into the dark places of our lives—bringing a joy that is not fragile, forced, or fake. Joy is not something we manufacture; joy is a person. Joy is Jesus. Reference: John 1:5 Prayer: Father, thank you for stepping into our darkness to bring everlasting joy. Thank you that your presence is light, unchanging, unfading, unstoppable. Help me not to chase temporary happiness, but to cling to you, my joy and my hope. Amen.

A Prayer for a New Day Dawning with Stacey Thacker In motherhood, moments of silence are rare and most often linked to trouble. God's people waited in silence for 400 years. On today's episode of the Everyday Prayers Podcast, we look at how Luke 1 paints a picture of people sitting in darkness, waiting for God to speak again after 400 years of silence. Into this longing, Zechariah announces that the Sunrise from heaven is coming to bring light, salvation, and peace.Just as morning light overtakes the night without resistance, Jesus arrives as God’s tender mercy in human form, shining into despair and guiding His people toward peace. Reference: Luke 1:76-79 Prayer: Father, thank you that you are merciful and ready to help us in our darkness and despair. You didn't let the shadow of death win. You sent your son - the day spring heaven's first light and the bright morning star to show us the way of peace.

A Prayer for the Gift I Want Most with Stacey Thacker The gift we need most is wisdom—God’s light-filled wisdom that brings clarity in dark seasons, understanding in confusion, and guidance in everyday decisions.In today's episode we take a deeper look at the contrast between light and darkness in Scripture—light as knowledge, clarity, and revelation, and darkness as confusion, concealment, and despair. Daniel lived in this tension daily as a young exile in Babylon, yet he understood something profound: God alone is the revealer of mysteries.Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock, promising that God will respond. Reference: Daniel 2:22 Prayer: Father, you are surrounded by light, full of wisdom and understanding. This Christmas may we seek the gift of light -filled wisdom that is only found in you. And when you answer our prayers and give us this gift, we will be careful to give you all the glory. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Look Upon the Light by Stacey Thacker The book of Job--an unexpected corner of Scripture for the Christmas season. In today's episode, we focus on a reminder spoken to Job by Elihu, who points out that God is both rescuer and redeemer, using suffering not as punishment but as refinement. Elihu lifts Job’s gaze upward, encouraging him to look at the light of God rather than the weight of his circumstances.And for us today, every question whispered in the dark finds its answer in Jesus, the Light of the World. When we fix our eyes on Him, everything changes. Reference: Job 33:28 Prayer: Father, sometimes we can best see the light in the shadowed times of darkness. Remind me during this season of light to be a testimony to others who are struggling. May I be a good friend who encourages the downtrodden to look up. And if that person is me, continue to remind me each morning where the light comes from. In Jesus' name, amen.
