Feeling spiritually stuck? Carrying the weight of hidden guilt? In today’s devotional prayer, author and podcast host Jaime Hampton (Praying Christian Women) gently guides us through a practice often neglected — but deeply healing: confession and repentance. Using Psalm 32:3–5, this prayer explores the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll of unconfessed sin — and the freedom that comes when we bring it to the Lord. Learn how biblical confession restores your joy, renews your purpose, and clears the path for a deeper walk with Christ. 📖 “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away… Then I acknowledged my sin… and you forgave the guilt of my sin.” — Psalm 32:3–5 (NIV)

Is your heart weary from disappointment? Are you quietly carrying burdens that feel too heavy to lift? This short nightly prayer offers biblical encouragement for the discouraged heart — a moment of quiet comfort and renewed hope before bed. 🕊 Tonight, let God speak peace into the areas that feel broken. He sees you. He hears you. And He promises to draw near to the brokenhearted. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 🙏 This nightly prayer is for anyone: Struggling with discouragement, anxiety, or silent tears Facing spiritual burnout or emotional fatigue Longing for strength, peace, or reassurance before sleep Heavenly Father, For the heart weighed down by unmet expectations, hidden grief, or relentless pressure—bring your light. Shine truth where lies have whispered. Speak peace where fear has shouted. You are the lifter of our heads, the healer of broken hearts. Tonight, quiet our minds and speak gently to our weary souls. Let us rest not in outcomes but in the goodness of Your presence. We trust You, even when we don’t understand the road ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

There are moments in our faith journey when it feels like heaven is silent. We pour out our hearts in prayer—sometimes with tears, sometimes with questions—and wonder, God, are You listening? This video offers a comforting, Scripture-rooted prayer for those nights when doubt creeps in and silence feels heavy. If you've ever wrestled with the ache of waiting, this is for you. God’s silence is never absence. His delays are not denials. And His love is never withdrawn from those who seek Him. Take a deep breath, quiet your soul, and let this prayer guide you into restful trust—even when the answers haven’t yet come. 🙏 Prayer: For the One Who Feels Unheard in Prayer Heavenly Father, When our prayers feel like whispers into the void, remind us that You are still near. You hear every sigh, every groan, every word we struggle to say. Even in the silence, You are working behind the scenes—shaping, protecting, preparing. Help us to trust Your timing, even when it’s hard. Give us peace in the waiting, hope in the stillness, and confidence that You never ignore the cries of Your children. May our faith not falter in the silence, but deepen in intimacy. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Jamie MacDonald’s moving testimony will touch your heart. The Christian music artist shared her rough and painful upbringing and how God’s love transformed her and completely changed the direction of her life. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear Jamie’s testimony.

This world is a lost, broken and fallen place full of hurting, struggling people calling for help. 
They are desperately searching near, far and everywhere for anything that might provide even the slightest bit of relief. People are looking for anything to give them hope in a hopeless, lost world.  

Sadly, this search for hope and pain relief can and does send people to some pretty dark and hopeless places. However, no matter where we might go or what we may do, we are never too far from Him and His love. He can make the broken whole again and bring about beauty from ashes. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jamie shares how the Lord changed her life, gave her a purpose and direction, and provided her with comfort and healing.

Jamie admits that as a result of her rough and painful upbringing, she was broken and “never really felt loved as a kid.” This hurt, and her search for acceptance and love eventually led her to drop out of high school and join a gang, and she got into drugs and alcohol. She says that she “found a family in that atmosphere.”

But praise God that is not where Jamie’s story ends!

Jamie said the turning point happened when she saw some of her friends overdose and even die. One night, she prayed, “God, if You can get me out of here, I would love a new start. I would love to sing for You and live my life for You.”

The Lord answered her desperate plea, giving her a way out of that lifestyle. She eventually found and joined a church, became part of a missions ministry and even went to Africa for a month.

During that mission trip to Africa, Jamie found her love for music again. Not only did she find music again, but this also led her to find and reconcile with her biological father during the last few years of his life.

What a powerful testimony that demonstrates God’s unbelievable love, grace and mercy.

Hebrews 4:16 “Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.”

A Walgreens worker stepped in and saved a woman from being the victim of a costly scam. The young man went above and beyond his job responsibilities to keep a customer from handling over a ton of money. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see and hear what the young man did to help an elderly customer.

The world is often a mean, cruel and cold place. Nearly everywhere we look, we see evidence of that being the case – any television news broadcast and social media, for instance. Part of living in such a fallen and troubled environment means some people are out there determined to take advantage of others. They will use any vile means necessary to trick and swindle people out of good, hard-earned money.

A clip posted on YouTube tells of a woman who was about to become another scam victim. She was prepared to hand over hundreds of dollars to individuals as part of a scam. That was until one attentive and caring Walgreens employee, Cody, stepped in and took decisive action.
The young man mentioned that he recognized the woman as a regular customer. However, her behavior during this trip to the store was anything but regular.

“She was buying some gift cards for $500, which I thought was weird because I’d never seen her buy gift cards,” Cody said.

Cody also noticed a phone number from California continually calling the elderly woman. The woman admitted the individual calling was the person for whom she was purchasing the gift card.  Cody instantly understood that the elderly woman was being scammed, saving her from forking over hundreds of dollars.

Another woman in the store at the time, who saw Cody help the elderly woman avoid becoming the victim of a scam, was deeply moved by his actions.

“He could have just said, ‘This isn’t my problem,’ rang them up and sent her on her way,” she said. “And the fact that he recognized the scam and said, ‘I’m not, we’re not going to be a part of this. We’re stopping this right here,’ was just so wonderful to see.”

Cody added that he always thinks of his grandmother and would want someone to do the same for her if she were in a similar position.

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good but keeping in mind the things of others.”

Tears started flowing as the groom delivered an unforgettable wedding day surprise. His sweet and heartwarming move will likely have you brushing away a tear or two. Watch the short, but tear-jerking clip to see what the groom did and hear the reason for his touching gesture.

Weddings are significant, momentous and life-changing occasions for every couple. They are the opportunity to recognize and witness the formation of a family as two people vow to remain with one another regardless of what life may throw their way. What could be better than that?

Typically, weddings are a chance to celebrate the couple standing at the altar in front of family, friends and God, and rightfully so. We should be so honored to be able to share the bride and groom’s big day with them.  All we, as guests, ask for is a plate of food at the reception and the slightest bit of cake, and that’s it, I promise!

However, in one clip posted on YouTube, a groom, Zach, used the occasion to surprise his bride, Hallie, her parents and everyone in attendance. When it came time to recite his vows, he also used American Sign Language. Both of his bride’s parents are deaf, and he wanted to show them how much he loves and is committed to them as well. He wanted them to feel included, as he said, and signed his vows to their daughter.

The clip mentions that no one knew what Zach was about to do when it came time for him to say his vows. The young man attended night classes for four months before the wedding for that big, tear-jerking moment.

“The moment Zach started signing and saying his vows, I immediately started tearing up,” Hallie said. “The way he included my parents made it even more meaningful, and it reminded me why I chose him, and I’ll keep choosing him every day.”

But that wasn’t all.

After the ceremony, the video captures the moment Zach presents his in-laws with his ASL certificates at the reception.

What a powerful moment and a beautiful way to show someone how much they matter and are loved.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all that you do be done in love.”

One dad invited the stepdad to join him in walking his daughter down the aisle. This sweet and completely unexpected move will have you brushing away tears from your eyes. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the stepfather’s response and everyone else’s reaction.

Weddings are often incredibly emotional events, causing many to carry tissues just in case they spring a leak from their eyes. You may even get a little teary-eyed thinking about the last wedding you attended. It’s entirely understandable why people would become emotional during a wedding ceremony. It’s a big, life-changing event for the happy couple standing at the altar as they pledge their unending love to one another.

Nearly everything that’s involved in a wedding ceremony carries much significance and meaning with it. That’s likely part of the reason why planning a wedding typically requires several months. You want everything to be just right, with nothing out of place, which is entirely understandable.

Another great thing about weddings, as captured in a video posted on YouTube, is that they can bring people together. A bride was about to make her grand entrance, walk down the aisle and meet her future husband waiting at the altar. Everything was set to go, but the father of the bride had something he had to do first. He made his way up the aisle by himself, approached the bride’s stepfather, and asked him an important, and heartwarming question. He asks him to assist in walking his daughter down the aisle.

What a beautiful and classy move from the biological father. He did not have to do that, but he wanted the wedding to be about his daughter and her groom, not himself. That’s likely to be a memory the bride will remember for years.

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”

A young man was spotted doing something truly unexpected and heartwarming. What the little guy did will have you brushing away tears from your eyes and restore your faith in humanity. Watch the short but oh so adorable clip to see the little boy’s precious move.

Generally, siblings do not get along well. At least while they are young children, siblings typically have a lot of animosity toward one another. Those little ones have the surprising (and incredibly annoying) ability to turn everything into a disagreement. Between siblings, the most minor, most insignificant thing can soon become a matter of life and death.

Those with two or more kids understand that anything and everything can become an annoyingly loud, ear-piercing disagreement. Take any situation, subject or object, and children can turn it into a shouting or shoving match. A lot of parenting, and many will also agree with this, involves acting as a referee, stepping into arguments and keeping them from one another.

So, any time siblings are halfway civil to one another, parents must cherish and hold onto those moments, those instances, especially when they are little, because they can be few and far between. A video posted on social media captures one of those precious moments between siblings. 

The clip starts with the little guy digging around in the kitchen. At first glance, it’s a bit unclear what he’s doing. Then, seconds later, it appears he’s making himself a bowl of cereal. 
However, the kitchen is not where he wants to enjoy his breakfast.

The camera is right behind the young man as he enters the hallway and unexpectedly ducks into a room. It turns out that the bowl of cereal was not for him at all. Instead, he made his baby sister, who is in her crib, breakfast in bed.

What an absolutely adorable moment!

1 John 4:20 “If a man says, ‘I have love for God,’ and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?”

A young man’s apology showed true honesty and maturity. The guy stepped up, admitted what happened and apologized, even mentioning his part in the incident. Watch the short but powerful clip of the young man demonstrating honesty and strength of character.

As has been said several times, honesty is the best policy. No one is perfect. Perfection is an unattainable state and position for human beings. We all have flaws, failures and blemishes. Stumbles, falls, mistakes and errors will continue to be made as long as people remain on Earth. There’s no getting around that fact.

However, when we do stumble and fall, it’s always best to be upfront and admit our errors. Attempting to cover them up, blaming someone else or just straight-up lying about them (politicians!) will make things worse, and not only that, but it also shows a lack of character. People appreciate those who are honest, and most don’t have time or use for liars.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man was honest and forthcoming about a situation involving someone’s vehicle. He and a couple of friends were playing soccer across the street when the ball struck a nearby truck, causing the vehicle’s alarm to momentarily sound. Instead of ignoring the entire situation, hoping that everyone would just forget about it, he approached their doorbell camera and recorded an apology.

“The ball hit right there,” he said. “It hit, like, right on that, but, like, the one on the other side, and it set off the alarm for a bit. And I just wanted to apologize for that. I don’t know if anybody’s home, or if they’re sleeping, but I just wanted to apologize for that.”

This world would be a lot better place if more people exhibited the honesty and character of this young man.

Proverbs 12:22 “False lips are hated by the Lord, but those whose acts are true are his delight.”

Scripture emphasizes the importance of listening to one another. It's a lesson and reminder that we could and should all listen more than we speak. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear why listening to one another is so essential that instructions and words of wisdom about it were included in the Bible.

We, as Christians, believe the Bible is essentially God's instruction manual for life. It contains lessons and guidance for every situation, issue and problem we'll ever encounter. No matter what you're going through or feeling, the Bible has words of wisdom for you. Now, whether someone actually adheres to and lives their life according to the words found in the Bible is a whole other topic.

People love to be heard, and some people (especially politicians) love listening to themselves talk. This has become even worse and more pronounced in society thanks to social media's popularity and pervasiveness. Many, for whatever reason, believe their every word and thought is like a golden nugget of brilliance that must be posted online for all to behold and gaze upon. But that's not the case at all. Instead, it's often best to shut your mouth and listen.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman talks about the importance of listening and mentions a specific verse in God's word that talks about hearing what others have to say.

"You know, the Bible has a lot to say about how we care for people in relationships and how we can do well in conflict and when we have conversations," she said. "And this wisdom comes from the book of James, chapter 1, verses 19 through 20."

She reads those verses in the New Testament that instruct us all to be quick to listen and slow to speak. How much better and less complicated would our lives be if we followed this advice?

James 1:19-20 "You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry; for the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man."

An Indiana Christian school superintendent uses musical parodies to keep his students informed. His creations are both informative and hilarious. Watch the short clip to learn more about how this school leader uses his musical talent to entertain and inform students.

Everyone at one time or another, during their scholastic career, has said how dull and uninteresting they believe school to be. And if they say they haven’t, they are likely not being 100 percent truthful because it’s a common refrain among students. Students say it, I’ve heard it (and said it myself), and you’ve heard students say it (and you’ve said it yourself).

Honestly, can you blame students for thinking and saying that? School can be rather tedious and humdrum, especially when you’re a young child trying to sit still long enough to listen to the teacher. Are lectures the best way to impart knowledge to a classroom full of elementary students? In a clip posted on YouTube, one man, a school administrator in Indiana, has found a unique way to inform and entertain students.

Mike Allen is the superintendent for Evansville Christian School in Evansville, Indiana. When it comes to sharing important information with students, the talented administrator has taken a different and much more musical approach than reading or posting announcements. He creates song parodies that incorporate familiar, recognizable tunes and info that students need to know.

His creative parodies are hilarious and more likely to get students and staff to sit up and pay attention to them. Whenever you hear someone drone on and on about something, we all tend to tune them out. But, when that same information is communicated creatively and in a fun way, we have a much better chance of remembering and retaining the information.

This Hoosier school administrator deserves a lot of credit for trying something new, different and hysterical!

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

A woman finished cancer treatments and was met with the sweetest surprise. She was understandably ecstatic about completing all of her treatments for cancer, and then something unexpected happened. Watch the short but sweet clip to see the beautiful and tear-jerking surprise she received.

There are many truly terrible things in this fallen, broken and lost world. Sadly, pain and heartache are all around us and in overwhelming abundance. However, there’s likely nothing that has caused more suffering and agony to families than cancer. There isn’t much scarier in life than receiving a cancer diagnosis or learning that a friend or a family member is battling the deadly, life-threatening disease.

Fighting cancer is both mentally and physically taxing on the family, but especially the patient. From the moment you or a loved one receives that horrible diagnosis, it’s a roller coaster of good days and bad days. That’s why a surprise one woman received meant so much and made for such a beautiful moment.

In the clip, which was posted on YouTube, the woman shouts that she has just finished all of her cancer treatments. She is overjoyed, and this is certainly something to celebrate. She and her husband are then captured on video walking out the door, leaving the medical facility. However, little does she know what awaits her outside those doors.

The woman’s husband had planned a massive, heartwarming surprise for her. He had brought together her family and friends, who were waiting with signs and cheers to greet her after her enormous, beautiful, celebration-worthy accomplishment.

Immediately after seeing all the people she loves who had come out to show her support, she understandably becomes emotional and breaks down in tears.

What an incredible sight and an excellent way for her husband and everyone else she knows to show her how much they love and care for her.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

When the owner of a Wisconsin café fell ill and was hospitalized for months, a group of teens stepped up and ran the restaurant in her and her husband’s absence. The youngsters did anything and everything necessary to keep the business going. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about this fantastic group of young men and women.

Opening a business is always risky and can be very costly. Sadly, as we all know, small businesses have a high failure rate. Of course, many factors play into a business's success or failure—demand or lack thereof for the business's goods or services, competition in the marketplace, the state of the national and local economy, the owner's business acumen and many others.

However, things can and do become increasingly more complicated for a business when the owner is unable to oversee the day-to-day operations. The number of unknowns and problems can multiply, making things exponentially more difficult for the business's survival. However, in a clip posted on YouTube, that was not the case thanks to a group of loving, devoted and caring young people who stepped up in a big way when a business owner fell ill.

Approximately 30 teenagers work at Urban Olive & Vine, a restaurant in Hudson, Wisconsin. The small business is owned by a husband and wife, Chad and Carol Trainor. When Carol suffered a seizure in the restaurant and was hospitalized for months, pulling both away from the restaurant, the teens took over the day-to-day operations of the business.

The video mentions that Chad said he did not have to ask any of the teenagers to do anything extra once. They just did it.

One of the teenagers began voluntarily arriving at 5:30 to start the day, and everyone else added to their responsibilities, taking on new and different jobs. They were doing what they had to keep the business thriving while Chad remained by Carol's side.

Sadly, Carol would eventually pass away.

With tears in her eyes, one young woman called the small business "a family."

"Without them, the restaurant would not exist," Chad said. "These kids became adults and ran our business and took care of me."

What an amazing group of young people.
