May the God that we serve as we're in John chapter 8, verse 12, for the evening prayer. Lord, we pray for light right now. We pray for hope and freedom from darkness. And Lord, we need Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, come. Lord, I pray right now, wherever people are situated across the world, that we will feel the love of the Gospel of John chapter 8, verse 12. Reading from the NIV, when Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but I have and give life to all men. Father, I thank you that you give life. Lord, you are the light of the world. And right now, Lord, I believe that the listeners are not walking in darkness, they're walking
in freedom. Lord, I thank you that even though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, today's prayer for hope. Lord, there is light in dark times. Jesus helps me through anxiety. Tell the world that Jesus helps me through anxiety. The prayer for hope today, we believe that Jesus is the light in the dark times. We believe the word of God. And wherever we are, from Dubai all the way to Johannesburg, from Johannesburg all the way to Vancouver to London, Spirit of the Living God, will you move across every area of life? Lord, every human being, Lord, all the way around the globe. Lord, we thank you that the Holy Spirit crisscrosses the globe. We thank you that God breathed this world into being. We thank you, dear God, that you spoke each and every one of us into existence. Lord, we want to follow Jesus. Lord, we thank you that the light exposes the darkness. Father, we thank you that light has power over darkness. We believe darkness has no power. So Lord, we thank you that our hearts are free. Lord, we believe that we are born again, that we are spirit-filled believers. Lord, yes, we go to church. Yes, we understand. Yes, we are in the kingdom of God. And Lord, I want to tell the listeners, Lord, there is something greater than church. There is something greater than ministry, something greater than religion, something greater than this world, and his name is Jesus. I
want to tell you right now, Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. I believe there is hope in your life because Jesus Christ loves you. You are in the middle of a conflict, you are in the middle of a storm. You feel fear, you feel doubtful, but God is the light. And God said in Genesis chapter 1, verse 3, let there be light. There is light in your heart. There is light in your life. God is making a way. The Bible says in Psalm 119, it says this very, very clearly in prayer Your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path. Father, we believe the word that Jesus Christ is our light. So as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil because our God is with us. So Lord, we need dear God hope today. We need this life today. So today we believe that darkness cannot hold us bound. We are walking, we are moving in the name of Jesus. So Father, I pray that Jesus Christ is and will be our daily bread. That Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, that Jesus Christ is the
coming King. And we pray for those, dear God, that feel worried about the dark evenings, the dark days. I pray that you will give them peace today. I pray that your love and your mercy will wrap around every listener, that they will feel the love of Jesus, the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives, that they will know that their Redeemer lives. Lord, let them grow in the Word of God. Let them, dear God, radiate the light of Jesus. Lord, let them change lives and environments when they go in. Lord, let them be the greatest ambassadors, Lord, heaven and the earth has ever seen. Let them walk in divine healing. We believe there is healing over their lives. We believe the fire of God is over their lives. We believe anointing is over the listeners' lives. We believe, Father, that your love is so strong over the listeners. Lord, I thank you that you are blessing the prodigals, that you are drawing every one of us back. I thank you, Lord God, I was a prodigal, but now I am found. I was lost, but now I'm found. I was here, there,
and everywhere, but Jesus Christ had a marker on our lives. You are marked with the Holy Spirit. You are sealed with the glory of God. May God bless you and carry you in the gracious name in heaven and earth. Until tomorrow, remind yourself I'm a child of the kingdom of God. Until tomorrow.
