Light in the Darkness

2000 years ago a child was born.

He came to bring us hope.

He came to bring light into the darkness of our lives.

He came to show us the path of peace.

That's what this holiday is about my friends.

No matter what your situation...

No matter your circumstances...

You don't have to sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death alone.

Let Him wrap you up today in His light and in His perfect peace.

December 24, 2025 Our prayer for our loved on today:

Luke 1:78-79 NLT [78] Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, [79] to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace."

Father God, we thank you today that you are a God of tender mercy. You gave us a sunrise today, the morning light. And Lord we believe that your Holy light is about to break on (our loved one). Lord, shine the light on (him/her). (Our loved one) is sitting in the darkness Lord, in the shadows of death. Lord we pray today that Your light would guide (our loved one) on to the path of peace. The peace that goes beyond understanding. The deep peace that can only come from you. We BELIEVE that your son, the light came for every one of us and we trust that it will shine on (our loved one) in your perfect timing. Thank you for your precious promises! We agree with it and stand on it, in your son's precious name. Amen!

Excellent Harmonies

My friends, our thoughts are so powerful.

When we look for the best, not the worst, the things to praise, not the things to complain about, the beautiful, not the ugly, our lives change.

And today I want to challenge you to not only practice that with your circumstances but also with your loved one.

Look for the beautiful and pray that beautiful into their very lives.

December 22, 2025 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today

Philippians 4:8-9 MSG [8-9] Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious---the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

Heavenly Father, we thank you today that you are always good, that you are the giver of all things wonderful. I confess that I often take my eyes off of that truth, that I don’t always see the good in my life or my loved one. Lord, today I ask that I would purpose to fix my eyes on the beautiful and look for the miracles in this day, in this moment. I pray that you would give me those eyes to see the beauty in [our loved one] as well. I praise you for [our loved one] and thank you for [his/her] value, regardless of [his/her] circumstances. Lord, I thank you that you are at work in [his/her] life and that when I see broken or “too far gone” You are just getting started. I trust and believe that You see [our loved one] perfect and worthy of praise. I ask that you move in my life and in [our loved one’s] life to create excellent harmonies today. I pray this in Your Son’s Holy Name. Amen

He Overcomes the Dark

Dealing with a struggling loved one day after day can be so difficult. We grow weary.
We grow tired. We lose hope.

The word says we WILL have troubles. We will have difficulties. We will become worn out, pressed down and ready to quit.

And we will quit...unless we hold on to this truth, this hope.

That HE has overcome darkness and death. It's already been done. All he asks of us is to receive. To receive his love, his power, his strength.

I pray His light will pour into you today, sweet friends and breathe new hope into your heart.

December 21, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

John 16:33 NIV [33] “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Lord, thank you today that you are fighting for us. You have this battle that is raging around us, in your hands. Lord, thank you that because of the precious words you have written to us we can have perfect peace! Lord thank you too that peace WILL come for (our loved one). Lord this world holds pain and heartache and trouble for (our loved one). Lord (he/she) is suffering right now. But Lord we DO take heart. We will not lose hope because through YOU we believe that (our loved one) will overcome the strongholds that entangle (him/her). Lord we believe that VICTORY is yours Lord and we thank you that it's guaranteed. The final word of the final sentence of the final chapter has already been written. We will WALK in that victory today Lord. In Jesus name we pray! Amen!

Confident Hope

In the middle of all of the ugly...

It is so easy to forget to thank God for all that we have. And if we were to be honest, it's sometimes hard just to find things to thank God for with our loved one.

But we must do it anyway...
Focus on who they are in Christ, who God created them to be...

It is the one sure way to change our heart...

From anxiety to peace...

From anger to calm...

And from the darkness of hate to the light of love...

Because love will lead them home.

December 20, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Ephesians 1:16-18 NLT [16] I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, [17] asking God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God[18] I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called-his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

Lord, I will not stop giving thanks to You for my [loved one]. I will pray for [him/her] constantly. I ask today that you would give [our loved one] spiritual wisdom and insight so that [our loved one] might come to a knowledge of you. I pray that [our loved one's] heart will be flooded with light so that [our loved one] can understand the confident hope that you can give [our loved one] because you have given [loved one] a rich and glorious inheritance!

I Will Always Have Hope

Someone asked me recently what I perceived my most important mission to be? My answer was that one of the most important things that has gotten me through the darkest times in my life, is camping on the word HOPE.

As I was thinking about this, I thought how so many of us get to the place where we have at times, struggled with finding hope. I know many of you today would say you are losing hope.

And I think about those out there who are caught up in a lifestyle of oppression and darkness. Living in a way no one could have even possibly imagined years ago, least of all themselves.

And I wonder....is there hope anywhere in their thinking? Is there a spark?
So today, my prayer is that God himself, or someone he sends would whisper hope into our loved ones lives. Lord, breath hope into the lives today of those that have no hope.

December 19, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 71:14 NIV [14] As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

Abba daddy, we come before you today with longing. Longing for more of your love. Longing for more of your power. Longing for more of your peace. And longing for more of the hope that only you can give. Lord, we ask today that you would fill us. Fill us to overflowing with hope. The hope that comes from knowing that you are a good daddy and that your promises are true. And Lord, today we pray that You would come to (our loved one) and whisper hope in (his/her) ear as well. Fill (him/her) with the power that comes from having even a tiny bit of hope. Lord, we praise You today because we trust You and we know Your promises will be fulfilled. Lord, we look forward to the day when (our loved one) will praise you as well! Our trust and confidence is in You. We ask these things in Your Son’s precious name. Amen!

"Help"

Over the years as I've read these verses it's so easy to think in terms of others or of the really "BIG" sins in our life. Today as you pray this for your loved one I challenge you to think of the "little" things that we do that we repeat over and over. For me it's jumping to conclusions (the way out is to stop and breathe and not make assumptions). It's to over-react (again, slow down before I speak). Maybe it's a swear word that flies out of my mouth when I'm mad (oops - that darn mouth always gets me in trouble). It is often to go to the diet coke or food when I'm stressed (not necessary and not the answer to the problem). Or my big one is to worry way too much about what other people think.

And God promises to help us to overcome any struggle, any stronghold, any temptation in our life. Wow! Now all I have to do is LET Him! That's part of my recovery program. To give all of this yuck back to God

So I ponder these verses today as the apply to my life and I pray them for my loved ones as they apply to their lives.

December 18, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today

1 Corinthians 10:13 But remember this—the wrong desires that come into your life aren’t anything new and different. Many others have faced exactly the same problems before you. And no temptation is irresistible. You can trust God to keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it, for he has promised this and will do what he says. He will show you how to escape temptation’s power so that you can bear up patiently against it.

Lord God, our hearts are burdened for our loved ones. Lord, to whom can we go but You. You hear our broken cries. Lord, we pray today on behalf of (our loved one). Lord, we know that the wrong desires that have come into (our loved one’s) life aren't anything new and different to you. We know that others have faced and conquered these very same problems. And NO temptation that could come before (our loved one) is irresistible. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would trust You when (his/her) temptation is so strong that (he/she) feels that (he/she) can't stand up against it. Lord, we know that your promises are true and you promise that you will provide (our loved one) a way to escape temptations power and bear up against it if (he/she) simply calls out to you. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would whisper the words "help me Jesus" today. We pray this in your son's holy name. Amen!

Love Never Fails

Today, may you grasp how much he loves you.

He loves you fully. He loves you in the heaviness, the fear, the doubt and the resignation.

And as he loves us, so we are called to love fully in the messiness of it all.
Because love never fails.

December 17, 2025 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:

1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV [7] Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Merciful Father, we come to you today knowing….knowing how much you love us. Knowing how much you believe in us. Knowing how much you desire that each one of us step into the fullness you have for us in this life. Lord we ask that you would give is the strength to bear up under the load we are carrying, the imagination to believe the goodness of heaven on Earth today, the power of hope in the restoration of our family and the perseverance to endure any struggle that comes our way today. We pray for [our loved one] today. [He/she] is carrying a boulder that is far too heavy for [him/her]. Give [him/her] the strength to bear up under the weight of all that [he/she] is carrying today. Lord, we ask that you will fill [our loved one’s] mind with the dreams and visions for [his/her] future that you have given [him/her] so [he/she] can begin to walk in that truth. We pray that you would fill [our loved one’s] heart to overflowing with the hope that only begins to well up as a result of your love. And we ask that you would fill [our loved one’s] spirit with the determination to endure through the struggles, knowing that just beyond this mountain [he/she] is climbing are your streams of living water. Lord, we know that love never fails. Lord, we receive this gift from you today and pray these things in your holy name. Amen.

Surrender

read these verses this morning and I just thought, this is perfect for us. Jesus is looking at each of us, who might think that somehow WE will be the one to get them into a rehab or off the streets or that somehow by our power we are going to be the one who saves them.

But when we have stepped out of the way, I have seen God do things beyond what we could have ever imagine.

If you think you can pull this off in your own strength or by your actions, he's saying “nope, not going to happen.”

However, we have every chance in the world if we trust God to do it.

That is surrender...

December 15, 2025 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today:

Matthew 19:26 MSG [26] Jesus looked hard at them and said, "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it."

Abba daddy.....oh Lord, I come to you today because I know that I am getting in your way Lord. I admits that I want to be the one to save but I know that job belongs to you and you alone. Lord, I realize that while I can be a tool for you to use, I do not have the power to transform (my loved one). But you do Lord. Lord today help me to trust you with (my loved one's) life. I surrender (him/her) at the foot of the cross. (He/she) belongs to you Lord. Lord, I ask for the strength to walk through today in cooperation with you. Lord, I DO trust you Lord. And I thank you for the work you are doing in my life. I pray this prayer in your Son's Holy Name. Amen

Highly Valued

Each morning I take time and space to sit on my chair with my cup of coffee and reflect on my life. It’s also a time when I choose to practice gratitude. I believe the enemy wants to distract us from finding joy and love and peace.

In the middle of difficult times, it’s easy to lose sight of the gifts we have been giving.

It's raining out? Thank God you have a roof over your head.

Your car has broken down? Thank God that you have 2 feet and can walk somewhere.

And no matter what’s going on with you or your loved one, by the sheer nature of the fact that God created you, you are loved and you, my friend are HIGHLY valued. And so is your loved one.

And He is on your side. He wants only good for you and your family.

Today I am choosing to see my loved one as God sees Him.

Thanking God that He loves perfectly. And learning to love like Him.

December 14, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Jeremiah 1:5 NIV
[5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you...

Lord, thank you. Thank you that You are the God of the universe and the God of the smallest organism and the God of (my loved one). Lord I thank you that you created (our loved one) perfectly and wonderfully. I thank you that before (he/she) was even conceived You KNEW (him/her). Lord thank you that (our loved one) is set apart. You have a plan. You have a purpose for (his/her) life. You have appointed (our loved one) to do specific things for your kingdom. Lord, I pray that (our loved one) would, through something or someone, see you today. That (he/she) would experience Your love. And that today would be the day (he/she ) would begin to understand how much You love (him/her). We pray this in Your son's precious name. Amen!

Renewed Strength

Today we are tired. We are battle weary. We walk around with the weight of unmet expectations on our shoulders. We carry the burden of grief yet our loved one is still alive. We are exhausted from living a life we didn’t ask for.

And so are our loved ones. They are in an all out war. And no matter what they say, or what kind of show they put on, they do not want to be in this war. They are tired. They are weary.

But there is HOPE.

Because there is power in the name of Jesus to break chains, to give power to the powerless and to give strength to the weak.

Praying today that our loved one would turn their hope to the One who has the power to save!

December 13, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 40:29-31 NIV
[29] He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. [30] Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; [31] but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Oh Lord, we come before you today filled with gratitude and hope. Because we believe that your word is true and your promises will be fulfilled in our lives and in our children's lives. Lord thank you that You will give (our loved one) strength, because (he/she) is weary right now and Lord, we believe that you will fill (our loved one) with your supernatural power, because (he/she) is weak. Lord (our loved one) is tired, (he/she) has stumbled and fallen. But Lord we know that with a whisper, with a simple uttering of Your name that you WILL renew (his/her) strength. That you will make (our loved one) to soar on (his/her) wings like an eagle, that (our loved one) will run hard and never grow weary again and that (he/she) will walk and not grow faint. Lord, You and only You can do this for (our loved one). Lord, we pray that today would be the day. The day (our loved one) whispers Save Me Lord. We ask that You draw (him/her) unto You today. In Jesus Name. Amen

Hide them in your precious shelter...

And one day...

Set them high on your rock..

To triumphantly sing Your praises and shout for joy!

Psalm 27:4-5 NIV [4] One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple[5] For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

Father God, there is one thing that I ask of you today, one thing that I seek; that [our loved one] would dwell in your house all of the rest of the days of [his/her] life, that [our loved one] would gaze upon your beauty and that [our loved one] would seek you in your holy temple.

The Truth Will Set You Free

The lies of the enemy will hold us captive.

“I am a failure”

“I am not good enough”

“I caused these problems.”

“This will never change.”

Freedom comes when we believe the truth.

The truth is....God LOVES you!

The truth is....God LOVES your prodigal more than you do!

The truth is....there is NO condemnation through Christ!!!

The truth is....He is able to break any and every chain!!!

The truth is...NO weapon forged against you or your loved one’s can prevail.

Walk in truth and you will walk in freedom today.

Beauty from Ashes

Fire…

The killing off.

The cleansing.

The refining.

The clearing out for all that’s new.

You might be in the middle of the fire today. The burning off.

He will bring us through the fire. And just like in nature, after the fire will come abundance.

Beauty from ashes.

For us...

For our loved one...

December 10, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 66:12 NLT [12] We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

Lord, we believe that you go before us, you are with us and you go behind us. We are in the middle of the flood and the fire. Lord, [our loved one] is in the middle of the flood and fire. But you promise that you will bring [our loved one] through these trying times. Lord, we thank you! We thank you that one day [our loved one] will walk out of the fire and into a place of great abundance. That out of the ashes of our lives, something truly beautiful will be reborn. We trust you and today we are going to choose to walk in that hope! In Jesus precious name we pray. Amen

He Sustains Me

This season we are in may look like a tragedy to you.

Roadblocks.

Dead ends.

One difficult situation after another.

Yet, we don't know the thoughts that go through our loved one’s heads. We can't hear their hearts cry. But God does. He hears them and He sees their tears. And He will be faithful to rescue them when they call out to Him.

We never know when that moment will come. It may come in the middle of the most unlikely circumstances.

And it is why we can never lose hope.

December 7, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 3:3-5,8 NIV [3] But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. [4] I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. [5] I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. [8] From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.
Oh Lord, thank you that you are a God who loves us and cares for us and loves our children even more than we do. Lord, we ask today that you be a shield around (our loved one).

Something New

A new day.

A new perspective.

A fresh start.

God is always doing something new my friends. He will make a way in the wilderness.

That is the hope that I walk in today.

December 6, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Isaiah 43:18-20 NLT
[18] "But forget all that- it is nothing compared to what I am going to do [19] For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland [20] Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.

The Hope

That day.

The day after the darkest day in history. A day of great grief. A day of loss. A day of confusion. She believed that what He had promised was true, yet now her son was gone.

She was crushed. Devastated. Full of angst and disappointment. Full of sorrow. She was told by God her son was going to be the King of Kings. And he had just been crucified on an old wooden cross.

You may be experiencing many of the same emotions today as Mary did on that day.

WHERE ARE YOU GOD????? THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD PLANNED??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD??? YOU LET MY SON DIE!!!!!

But like us on this day, she couldn't see what was going to happen the NEXT day. She couldn't begin to comprehend, to wrap her brain around what God was going to do in just 24 short hours.

God IS here my friends. He is with you in this dark valley that you walk through . He is with your loved one as they are walking through the darkest of valleys.

And the HOPE. The HOPE that we have is in what happened the next day. The hope is in the promises, the assurance that we KNOW He never leaves our side.

December 5, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 23:1-6 NIV [1] The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. [2] He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, [3] he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. [5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [6] Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Thank you Lord that you are (our loved one’s) shepherd and in You (he/she) will have everything (he/she) needs for an abundant life. Lord, as I pray that (our loved one) will rest in You today I ask that you quiet (our loved one’s) spirit and refresh and restore (our loved one’s) soul. Lord, I feel today that (our loved one’s) walking through the darkest of valley's, Lord but THANK YOU that you are always with (him/her) and that because of that, I have nothing to fear. Lord, we ask that your rod would protect (our loved one) today. Lord with your staff, draw me and (our loved one) near to you. Lord comfort (our loved one) as only you can. You provide for (him/her) a table, a feast even before (his/her) enemies, to the point where (his/her) cup will overflow with abundance! Lord, thank you that your goodness and your mercies will follow (our loved one) all of the days of (our loved one’s) life and for the amazing promise that I will dwell with you in your house forever, eternally. Lord, I thank you and praise you for all of these things today. In Jesus Name! Amen.

Beautiful in His Eyes

Sometimes we get so caught up in the ugly, that we don't see our loved ones the way God sees them.

But they are precious. They are a gift. They are beautiful in his eyes.

And God sent His own child to be sacrificed so that our loved ones could be saved. So that they can experience abundant life on this Earth and eternally.
Thanking God for that promise today and praying this will be the day our loved ones will whisper "save me."

December 4, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Trust in Him

As I've walked through this journey with my loved one, I have had to learn that God's ways are not man's ways, nor are they at all my ways.

Most of the time I don't understand.

I know that you all have big questions as well. Lot's of whys? Things we will never know the answer to, this side of heaven.

So many times I have had to wrestle with God. To work through the process of surrender and to truth. It doesn't come natural for any of us. But I have learned that it is the path to abundant life.

Praying today for you, as you wrestle through your questions for God. And praying today for our loved ones. That they would finally come to that place of total surrender.

December 3, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
[5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6]
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Lord, God your word says that if we delight ourselves in you, you will give us the desires of our heart. Lord, our desire is this...that (our loved one) would trust in YOU Lord, with all of (his/her) heart. That (our loved one) would not lean on (his/her) own understanding. Lord, we pray today that in all of (our loved one's) ways they would submit to You Lord and that You would make (his/her) path straight. Lord, we ask for these simple things today in your Son's precious name! Amen

"Come Home"

The call that your loved one is in jail…

The call that your loved one has OD’d…

The call that your loved one is back out there…

The call that there will be a funeral next week…

You may have gotten that call yesterday, or the day before.

Or you may get it today.

And you feel abandoned…

Do not doubt for one second that God sees you. He knows exactly what you are going through today.

And He is saying to you right now, “Call on me. Come to me. Just say the word.

And I will deliver you from fear, from anxiety, from hopelessness.”

And God is whispering to your loved one today “Come home.”

November 30, 2025 Our prayer for our loved one today:

Psalm 50:15 NKJV [15] Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."

Lord, we come before you today determined to remain faithful in prayer. We are grateful that you are a God of grace and a God of mercy. And as we are faithful to pray, we believe that you are faithful to answer us as we cry out to you. Lord, we call upon you today in our day of trouble and on behalf of [our loved one] who is struggling. We pray that [our loved one] will call on you today and that You would hear [his/her] cry and You would deliver [our loved one]. We believe that when that day comes, when you deliver [our loved one] that [he/she] WILL glorify you! We pray that this vision will come to pass quickly Lord, but we trust and believe it will happen in Your perfect timing. Lord, we are thankful that we can trust in Your sovereign plan for our lives. We pray this prayer in Your Son's precious name! Amen!
