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 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 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, 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.
