A Prayer Because Jesus Came by Nicolet BellAs the excitement of Christmas fades and the in-between days begin, we are reminded that the story of Jesus is only just beginning. Because He came, everything changed—and everything continues to change.In today's episode, we look at 2 Chronicles and read about Solomon and the building of the temple. A striking truth emerges: even the most magnificent structure could never contain the greatness of God. Reference: 2 Chronicles 2:5-6 Prayer: Father, thank you for the gift of your Son Jesus. Thank you that in all of your majesty and splendor, supreme of the finest of Temples, would choose to make your home in the humblest of stables and in our humble hearts. Help us not to take your presence with us for granted. 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. When His light shines through us, it becomes unmistakably clear that the power comes from Him—not from us. Others may wonder how we endure hardship, live with joy, or walk through trials with hope. Reference: 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 Prayer: Father, we have nothing to recommend ourselves. We are like common clay pots. You have chosen to fill us with your glorious light. Please shine through us so that others may know that this is not from us but you. In Jesus name, amen.

Reference: Romans 13:12 Prayer: Father, it's good to remember that the day is drawing near when Jesus will return.

A Prayer to Receive and Share God's Lavish Love by Rachael AdamsWe are invited to receive the lavish, generous love of God and to share it with others.

Love is the lens through which every gift from God is meant to be experienced and expressed.

Help me to grasp the magnitude of the gifts you have lavished on me as your child. Remind me that it was never anything I earned or deserved, but your generosity to me. Help me to steward what you have given me well, and to share it cheerfully because it is not about me. It is all about you and for you. In Jesus' name, amen.

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. Oh Lord, keep sending the light of the gospel to be born afresh in our hearts today and every day. In Jesus name, amen.

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 Rise and Shine with Stacey Thacker Have you ever felt disappointment during the Christmas season? I'm sure we all have. In today’s devotion, we begin the second week of December’s readings with a reminder to rise and shine—not in our own strength, but in the light of God’s glory. We hope this prayer encourages you to embrace the season with joy, not because of what may or may not be under the tree, but because the Light of the world has come. As reflectors of His light, we’re invited to shine brightly for others to see. Reference: Isaiah 60:1 Prayer: Father, thank you for the glory you have given Jesus. You have extended that same glory to us because we are in him and he is in us. He prayed it would be true before he went to the cross. May we wake up today with a fresh desire to shine because your light has come. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer for Peace when Christmas is Hard by Brooke McGlothlin What does it mean to be a peacemaker during the Christmas season? In today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin, we are reminded that peace often begins with us. Even when reconciliation feels unlikely, we are called to plant seeds—small acts of kindness, openness, and forgiveness—believing that God will tend and grow what we faithfully sow. Reference: James 3:18 Prayer: Father, give us the desire to do the right thing, even if the favor isn't returned, sowing seeds of peace in the dark, troubled places of our lives. Over time, Lord, we pray that you will grow those seeds, produce fruit that glorifies your name, and produce a harvest of righteous. 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.

A Prayer to Let Jesus Lead by Katie J. TrentWhat is the significance of the Christmas star? In today's episode, we learn how the star points us to the greater truth of Jesus’ guidance in our lives. Just as the star led the Magi on their long journey to find the newborn Messiah, Jesus promises to lead and direct us as we trust Him.We reflect on how stars fill our homes and holiday traditions—tree toppers, decorations, and even cookie cutters—reminding us of the light that guided wise men to Jesus. Yet Scripture tells us something even more astounding: God not only created the stars but counts and names them (Psalm 147). If He knows every star, how much more does He care about us? Reference: Matthew 2:9-10 Prayer: Jesus, we choose to trust in You and ask You to lead and guide us all the days of our lives, just like You led the magi. Help us not to lean on our own understanding, but to seek Your will and Your wisdom in all we do. And let us become an example for our children so that they will allow You to lead them all the days of their lives as well. Amen.

A Prayer for Gratitude That Comes from Within by Amanda Luedeke Happy Thanksgiving! In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore a deeper, richer understanding of gratitude—one that goes beyond simply listing what we’re thankful for. While naming our blessings is meaningful, Scripture invites us to view gratitude not just as a response to good things, but as a way of living, even in the midst of trials, stress, or chaos.Thankfulness is not something that merely happens to us when life is going well. Instead, it’s a posture we choose, a spiritual discipline that shapes our hearts, forms our children, and aligns our lives with God’s will. Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Prayer: God, in the midst of all that is around me, I pause to turn my attention to You. I know that none of the things in my life need to change for me to experience lightness and joy and thanksgiving right now. Your presence changes all of it. You allow my chaotic reality to become a quiet refuge. Open my heart and eyes to the gifts right in front of me. Amen.

A Prayer to Remember to Give Thanks There is a powerful connection between gratitude and peace.In today's episode by Tara L.

A Prayer to Be Satisfied in the Small Things God often works through the small, simple, and unexpected—especially during seasons where our expectations run high, like Thanksgiving. In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we’re reminded that even the most modest acts of obedience can open the door to God’s miraculous provision.We contrast the idealized “perfect Thanksgiving” many of us imagine with the imperfect but beautiful memories that truly stay with us. Instead of striving for flawless moments, we’re invited to loosen our grip, adjust our expectations, and make room for God to meet us in the seemingly insignificant. Reference: 1 Kings 17:12–16 Prayer: My Jesus, You came to this world—quietly, meekly, yet beautifully—and You changed everything. I thank You and praise You for showing us that power isn’t found only in what is big and flashy. Help me to cling to this! Help me to focus on the importance of making space for that which is simple and seemingly insignificant. Guide me away from putting all my attention on the big efforts that impress and replace that desire with an ability to see Your work in the small things.

A Prayer When God Seems Distant What does it means to welcome God—even when life feels heavy, uncertain, or painfully silent? In today's episode by Amanda Luedeke, we explore how seasons of waiting can test our faith, strain our gratitude, and leave us wrestling with God’s seeming silence.The conversation invites us to consider how we respond when God doesn’t move the way we hoped. Instead of withdrawing or pretending everything is fine, we discover the gift of honest faith: bringing our doubts, frustrations, and disappointments before Him and practicing gratitude as an act of trust. Reference: Psalm 37:7 Prayer: Lord, here is my open invitation. Take it and keep it and know that You’re always welcome in my heart and life. I welcome You even when it’s hard for me to hear You. Even when I’m frustrated by what’s around me. Even when things don’t go the way I’d like. Show me the ways that I tend to rescind my initiation to You. Work on my heart, O God, so that I trust and follow you even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m waiting for You to move.

A Prayer to Rest in God's Promises Join this conversation with Nicolet Bell & Erin Warren as they talk about the character of God, and what it means to cultivate genuine, enduring faith. This month, we’re focusing on Everyday Prayers for Faith, written by Erin, and today’s conversation centers on God’s promises, His unchanging faithfulness, and how understanding His character strengthens our faith—especially in seasons of suffering, disappointment, or uncertainty. Erin shares how biblical faithfulness is tied directly to God’s promises. We can only recognize God’s faithfulness when we truly know what He has promised—rather than assuming promises He never made. Misunderstanding God’s promises often leads to confusion or disappointment, especially during painful seasons like infertility, illness, or unmet expectations. Reference: 2 Corinthians 1:20 Prayer: Father, we are so grateful for your promises. We are thankful that every single one of them found its "yes and amen" in Christ. You did this to show that you are who you say you are. You sent your son into our world to show us yourself. So we cling to your promises. Build faith in us so that we can model that to our children. May they see that we genuinely love you and that while we are not perfect, we are trying. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

A Prayer to Break Up with Mom Worry by Julie Gillies Let's talk about a struggle moms know all too well: worry. In today’s episode by Julie Gillies, we look to Matthew 6:34 as our anchor and explore the truth that we don’t have to carry the weight of tomorrow—or the burdens surrounding our children—alone. This episode will guide you toward breaking the toxic cycle of “mom worry” by learning two essential practices: prayer and trust. By bringing every fear, scenario, and burden to the Lord, and choosing to trust His faithfulness, we discover the peace that worry has robbed. Together, we’re invited to place our confidence in a God who hears, who helps, and who holds our children in His hands. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer: Lord, I confess all the times I have worried about my children instead of praying and trusting You, and oh Lord, it has cost me peace. When worries over my children bombard my mind and heart, please give me the grace to turn every concern, every worst-case scenario, and every dread into a prayer of trust and relinquishment. Help me to give every single apprehension fully to You. And Lord, help me to trust You completely with my children’s very lives. As I care for them, may faith arise in my heart as I read Your Word. May I choose not to worry but instead trust You fully. God, You are faithful. You are utterly trustworthy. I choose to believe that You are with me and You are with my children. Thank you Lord for guarding them and guiding them. Thank you Lord that I don’t have to entertain worry because You are always with my children. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

A Prayer for Our Children to be Bold by April Graney How can we encourage our kids to stand boldly against the culture of today? In today's episode by April Graney, we look at the remarkable story of King Josiah, who became king at just eight years old and yet “did what was right in the Lord’s sight.” His wholehearted devotion to God, despite his evil family lineage, raises powerful questions about influence, courage, and the seeds of faith planted in childhood. Reference: 2 Kings 22: 1-2 Prayer: Heavenly Father, give my children the courage to follow you with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. Help them to rise up and boldly take a stand against evil in their midst while pointing the others to your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A Prayer to Get Started In today’s episode with Nicolet Bell, we explore how praying for our children can sometimes feel like tackling that overstuffed closet under the stairs—full of good intentions but easily abandoned when overwhelm sets in. Just like cleaning out a messy closet, the most important thing in our prayer lives is that we begin. God meets us in the small starts, the imperfections, and the honest moments. Reference: Psalm 105:4 Prayer: Father, help me to look to you and to seek you always. I ask for you to guard me from being intimidated or overwhelmed and help me to just get started. I desire to make praying for my children a priority in my life, and I need your help in making that happen.

A Prayer to Understand God's Faithfulness: An Interview with Nicolet Bell + Erin Warren Do you really believe that God is always good? In today's episode, Nicolet Bell welcomes back author Erin H. Warren, writer of Everyday Prayers for Faith. Together they revisit the biblical definition of faith—rooted in belief, trust, and loyalty. Drawing from Greek language study, Erin explains that God births faith in yielded believers, forming it within us as we approach Him with humility. Faith isn’t self-generated; it’s God’s work in us as we surrender through prayer and Scripture. Reference: Psalm 36:5 Prayer: God, I thank you that you are who you say you are. You are "I am". No matter what we are facing, you know what is going on the hearts of those listening today. We ask for your tangible presence to be felt in their lives today.

Maybe it’s in the kitchen, the carpool line, or somewhere between laundry loads and late-night emails.

A Prayer for Imperfect Moms by Julie K. Gillies Motherhood is full of moments that remind us just how imperfect we are.We lose our tempers, forget the little things, and wrestle with guilt over what we should have done differently. But today’s reflection by Julie K. Gillies reminds us that our failures don’t define us—God’s goodness and readiness to forgive do.Through Psalm 86:5 and James 3:2, we’re reminded that we all stumble, yet our Heavenly Father stands ready—arms open—to forgive and restore. His unfailing love meets us in our weariness, cleanses us from guilt, and fills us with grace to try again. Reference: Psalm 86:5 Prayer: Lord, I admit that I simply am not capable of being a perfect mom, and I will fail. Will you please help me not to stab myself with a harpoon of guilt, but instead run to You, my faithful God, because You stand ready to forgive me when I blow it? Thank you, Lord, that You are not a harsh, angry heavenly Father, but You stand, arms open and ready to forgive me, Your confessing child. Help me remember to ask for Your help for everything, especially concerning my parenting and my family. Thank you that when I do, Your unfailing love rushes in, pouring grace into me and enabling me to do what I clearly cannot do apart from You, Jesus.

A Prayer to Take Off the Costume by Nicolet Bell In this episode by Nicolet Bell reflects on the truth that nothing is hidden from God. Just as children wear costumes to pretend to be someone else, we often try to cover up parts of ourselves—our sin, our shame, or our struggles. Yet God sees everything, and still, He loves us completely. This truth brings both conviction and comfort: conviction to confess and turn toward Him, and comfort that we are fully known and still fully loved Reference: Hebrews 4:13 Prayer: Father, remind me that I don’t have to cover up or put on a costume to come into your presence. I thank you that you see everything, nothing is hidden from you and you love me anyway. Help me to lead my children with honesty, inviting a culture of openness into our home, even when it is a challenge. Allow my children to know the depths of your love - that you see all and you love all. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A Prayer to Practice by Nicolet Bell Just like physical training strengthens our bodies, spiritual training strengthens our hearts and faith. The habits we repeat daily become second nature, shaping our reactions and responses when pressure comes.In today's episode by Nicolet Bell, she encourages us to consistently practice prayer, gratitude, worship, and scripture reading. When we implement habits, they become our spiritual reflexes—helping us stand firm and respond with faith in life’s big moments. God uses the quiet, unremarkable moments of obedience to prepare us for greater challenges and opportunities ahead. Reference: 1 Timothy 4:8 Prayer: Father, help us to not be afraid to put in the practice of spiritual discipline. We know that the quiet, ordinary moments are preparing us for the big moments and the challenges we will face. Show us when and where we need to put the reps in, knowing that we don’t work to earn our salvation but we do work out our salvation, each day drawing closer to you. In Jesus name, amen.

A Prayer for God to Keep You The short letter of Jude—only one page in most Bibles—packs profound truth for believers. Today's episode by Brooke McGlothlin dives into the first few verses in Jude and she remind us that those who belong to God are called, beloved, and kept. The word “kept,” or “preserved” in the King James Version, speaks of God’s continual care and protection over His people.To “preserve” means to safeguard, protect, or maintain. Unlike our own imperfect efforts to keep things in order, God never fails to keep what belongs to Him. Reference: Matthew 6:34 Prayer: Father, thank you for keeping me and thank you for keeping my children. Left to myself I know I would never, left to myself I know I would never be able to stay. There's too much sin still in my heart and it's prone to wonder from you. The knowledge that you will preserve me, that you will guard me and keep me from stumbling, brings me so much peace.

A Prayer for When You Feel Like Your Prayers Aren't Being Answered Have you ever prayed for something and felt like God wasn't answering? Today's episode by Nicolet Bell takes us through the words of Psalm 34. We are reminded that God always hears our prayers—though not always in the way we expect. True prayer draws us closer to the heart of God, shifting our focus from seeking the gift to desiring the Giver. Reference: Psalm 34:4 Prayer: Father, help me to believe that you hear and respond to my prayers. Help me to trust in your character even when life doesn’t go the way I want or expect.

A Prayer to Not Hit the Panic Button What does it really mean to bring everything—big or small—to God in prayer? In today's episode by Nicolet Bell we look at Philippians 4:6 and we are reminded that Paul, who had every reason to be anxious, encourages us to pray in every situation with thanksgiving. Prayer is not our last resort—it’s our first and best response. As John Wesley once wrote, “Prayer is our grand means of drawing nearer to God.” Reference: Philippians 4:6 Prayer: Father, help me to seek you in prayer daily as my first and best response.

A Prayer for Living a Righteous Life What does it really mean to “live to righteousness.” At first glance, living for what is right can seem restrictive or dull — especially in a world that values self-gratification and personal freedom. Today's episode by Christie Thomas reminds us that living for Jesus isn’t a burden; it’s freedom. Living for Jesus brings freedom from regret, freedom to choose wisely, and freedom to walk in peace and purpose. Whether you’ve followed Him for years or just discovered His grace, this episode reminds us that God redeems lost years and invites us daily into a life of hope and holiness. Reference: 1 Peter 2:24-25 Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, for bearing my sins and your body so that I might die to sin and live for righteousness. Please forgive me for the times I've lived for sin instead of righteousness. Fill me with your power so I can make choices that honor you and show love to the world. In Jesus' name, amen.

A Prayer to Finish In a culture that often prizes speed and instant results, what if we chose to slow down, stay focused, and trust God to bring His work in us to completion. In today's prayer by Nicolet Bell,we look at the story of Solomon completing the temple — a dream that began in the heart of his father, King David. Though David longed to build a dwelling place for God, the Lord chose Solomon to carry out the task. Instead of being resentful, David prepared his son for success by gathering materials, providing detailed plans, and encouraging him to serve God with an undivided heart. Reference: 1 Kings 6:14 Prayer: Father, I thank you for the example of Solomon to show us what hard work and perseverance looks like. His commitment to begin and finish a task, his assignment from you is an incredible witness to us. Help us to stay focused on the tasks you have given us. Guard us from distractions and sluggishness. I am confident that you who began a good work in me will carry it out to completion.
