A woman was surprised with a gift during a tear-jerking moment. It will be nearly physically impossible not to shed a tear or two or three when you see how the young mother was surprised. Watch the short but moving clip to see what she was given and her reaction.

The world is a cold, mean and scary place, that is for sure. People seem to have an unlimited ability to be cruel and inflict pain upon one another. The evidence for that statement is visible all around us, nearly everywhere we look. Turn on any news broadcast – national or local – and you’ll likely find their top story is about some horrendous crime or the latest evil, horrible thing done or said by an elected official. Oh, and there are also those popular social media platforms, which are typically much worse.

So, yes, this broken and fallen world has a lot of darkness and evil in it. However, there are little bits and small instances where people are not totally awful to one another. Sometimes, people can actually be pretty kind and loving toward each other. That was what happened in one clip that was posted to YouTube.

In the video, a single mother living paycheck to paycheck who could not afford to fix her vehicle arrived at the shop, likely expecting terrible news. Little did she know that she was in for a major surprise. The automotive shop owner mentioned that after hearing her story about all her difficulties, he felt touched. So, he did something to help her. He started a GoFundMe to provide her with some much-needed financial assistance.

But even he was surprised by how things took off, with people stepping up to show the woman love and kindness. As he began to choke up, the man showed her the amount of money that had been raised. Nearly $168,000—all thanks to the donations of strangers.

She immediately broke down in tears, touched by the love thousands of people had shown her.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

The noise never seems to stop. Notifications, responsibilities, conversations, and constant input leave us mentally crowded and spiritually drained. But Scripture invites us into a rhythm of holy stillness, where God restores what the world depletes. 📖 “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” — Psalm 23:2–3 📖 “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 Tonight’s prayer is for the weary, the overstimulated, the ones who feel like their souls are running on empty. You don’t have to fix everything or do more. You just need to come—and rest—in the presence of the One who already holds it all.

There are seasons when it feels like no one sees you. You show up, pour out, work hard, and love well—but feel unnoticed and overlooked. In those lonely places, God speaks the truth: You are seen. You are known. You are deeply loved. 📖 “You are the God who sees me.” — Genesis 16:13 📖 “Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” — Luke 12:7 In today’s prayer, we ask the Lord to remind those who feel invisible of their eternal value and identity in Him. Whether you're hidden in a crowd, working behind the scenes, or walking through quiet struggles, God sees every moment. Your life matters. Your presence has purpose.

Sometimes fear, comparison, or insecurity tempt us to shrink back from the purpose God has placed in us. We start believing we’re not enough—or that someone else could do it better. But Jesus calls us to shine. Not for our own glory, but to reflect His light into a dark world. 📖 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14 📖 “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 Today’s prayer helps you reject the urge to dim your light and instead step forward in faith. You were created with purpose. God doesn’t need you to be perfect—just willing.

How God’s methods of discipline and restoration speak to our modern struggles with success, surrender, and spiritual depth.

Through Hosea’s life and message, we see the dangers of idolatry, the pain of unfaithfulness, and the hope of redemption in Christ.

Like Moses, we quiet our hearts to know God more deeply.

The future is full of unknowns. Whether you're facing a big decision, a new season, or just the uncertainty of what tomorrow may hold, this prayer is for you. Instead of walking forward in fear, you can walk forward in faith—because God goes before you. 📖 “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” — Deuteronomy 31:8 📖 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3 Today’s prayer centers on surrender—laying down anxiety and inviting God to prepare your heart, mind, and spirit for whatever lies ahead. He equips those He calls. You don’t need to know the whole path to take the next faithful step.

Fear has a way of sneaking in—through bad news, difficult circumstances, or the quiet hours of the night. But God’s Word reminds us we don’t have to face fear alone. When anxiety whispers lies, the truth of Scripture speaks louder. 📖 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10 📖 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” — Psalm 56:3 In today’s prayer, we bring our fears to the Lord—honestly, boldly, and with open hands. Whether it’s fear of the future, failure, or the unknown, God is present. He offers not only comfort but power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let His peace cover you today.

Sometimes, life doesn't go as planned. The to-do list remains unchecked, goals drift unfulfilled, and seasons close with lingering “what-ifs.” In those moments, we can feel disappointed, discouraged, or even like we failed. But God doesn’t define us by what we did or didn’t finish. He calls us to faithfulness, not perfection. 📖 “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 📖 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1 Tonight’s prayer reminds us to release what’s incomplete and trust the One who holds the full picture. If you did your best with what you were given, that’s enough. God is still at work—even in the pauses and the pieces left undone.

Transitions can feel unsettling—whether it’s a job change, a move, a relationship shift, or a new phase of life. In these moments, we’re tempted to cling to what’s familiar, yet God invites us to trust Him with what’s next. 📖 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 📖 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1 In today’s prayer, we acknowledge the discomfort of transition but place our hope in God’s unwavering presence. He is not only the God of the mountaintop, but also of the in-between. Even when we can’t see what’s ahead, He is already there—preparing, guiding, and holding us through the unknown.

A young man’s reaction to unexpected kindness from a stranger will melt your heart. He had no idea what was about to happen, but the look on his face clearly shows that he absolutely loved it. Watch the short but unbelievably sweet clip to see what the stranger did and how the young man responded.

Several things in this world will forever and always be in short supply. For starters, time is our most precious and invaluable commodity. It is constantly fleeting and disappearing. Once gone, not one second or minute can ever be recovered. We can never have too much time, and whenever you lose a loved one, you quickly and sadly realize this to be all too true.

On a much happier and upbeat note, kindness is another thing that we can never have enough of. While there are many kind and caring people in the world, there is and always will be room for more. A clip posted on YouTube captures one of these unexpected acts of kindness and how it made a young man’s day, possibly his week and entire month.

In the video, it’s explained that a young man, Bleu, has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair. The child was celebrating his birthday at an ice rink, and he told someone how much he would love to go out on the ice and skate around. Well, a stranger overheard the young man expressing his desire to go out on the ice, and that’s when something unexpected but unbelievably heartwarming and touching happened.

Instead of listening and forgetting about the child’s comments, a stranger asked to take Bleu out on the ice. The clip captures the moment when the young man is taken out onto the ice and the pure joy and happiness on the youngster’s face.

His reaction is enough to cause even the most stoic, unemotional person to shed a tear or two.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

God can and does turn life’s messes into something beautiful. He often demonstrates the ability to make masterpieces out of ashes and rubble. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear about how the Lord can take the seemingly broken, destroyed and ruined and turn them into something beautiful and breathtaking.

People are fallen, lost and broken. We are all sinners who have willfully turned away from God. We disobeyed, choosing our way over His commands and directives. Of course, you know what happens after we ignore God: we make a complete mess of things, which occurs every time.

Human beings have a knack for screwing things up and taking the good and utterly ruining it. If there’s a way to make a bad situation worse, just give a human a little bit of time with it, and they’ll find a way. Luckily, God is in the business of providing forgiveness and offering grace because we’d all be totally and entirely lost without it. The Lord can also take those situations that we’ve wrecked and ruined, and use them for something good, making what was once broken and destroyed into something new and beautiful.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man explains how the Lord does this, mentioning a specific and important verse in Scripture. He points to Romans 8:28, in which Paul writes how God uses all situations to bring about good for those who love Him. He adds that God can use messes that we’ve created or ones that we had no role in creating. It does not matter to Him because He can do it all.

“So, it’s almost like God is just so crazy redemptive that He can use even the worst parts of our stories,” he said. “He doesn’t just want to use the beautiful, polished, shiny parts of our stories that we can brag about. God wants the ugly, shameful parts of our story, and He’s committed, not just to working in the good things, but working in the bad things, too.”

Romans 8:28 “And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.”
