“Jesus, Walk with Me Today” is a moving devotional song by Grammy-nominated songwriter Johnny Prill, known for creating music that uplifts the spirit and celebrates the beauty of faith and family. Inspired by a vivid dream of walking with Jesus through a busy city street, this song is a prayer for peace and divine companionship in everyday life. Each morning, we step into a world that can feel chaotic, uncertain, and overwhelming. But when we invite Jesus to walk with us, the path becomes illuminated—not always easy, but always guided. “I have sinned, but I believe your loving grace will pardon me. Forgive me for the times I've swayed—Jesus, walk with me today.” May this song be your companion in prayer, your comfort in stillness, and your light in the journey ahead. Psalm 23:4 – “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…” For more information on Johnny Prill and his music, visit https://www.nationalgrandparentsday.com. #WalkWithJesus #DailyPrayerSong #FaithInEveryStep #JesusWalkWithMeToday #JohnnyPrillMusic

Family vacations are meant to be a time of rest, bonding, and memory-making—but they can also bring stress, tension, and exhaustion. Between packing, traveling, differing expectations, and unexpected hiccups, it’s easy to lose sight of the gift that time together really is. In this gentle and hope-filled prayer, we invite God into every detail of your getaway—asking for patience, unity, safety, and joy. Whether you're preparing for a long road trip, flying with little ones, or staying close to home for a staycation, this is your moment to pause and cover it all in prayer. Let this prayer help you start your vacation with peace, purpose, and the presence of God. Heavenly Father, Thank You for the opportunity to take a break and enjoy time as a family. As we travel, Lord, protect us—on the roads, in the skies, and everywhere in between. Calm our hearts when things don’t go as planned, and help us show grace to one another. Let laughter come easily, and may precious memories be made. Cover our days with peace and our nights with rest. Draw us closer to each other and to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. #FamilyVacationPrayer #ChristianTravel #TravelPrayer #DailyPrayer #ChristianFamilyTime #PrayerForPeace #FaithAndTravel #VacationWithJesus #PrayerBeforeTrip #TravelMercies

When life gets busy or our hearts grow weary, compassion can feel like a challenge instead of a calling. But as followers of Christ, we’re invited—commanded, even—to put on love, kindness, and mercy every single day. In today’s prayerful reflection, we ask God to soften our hearts, open our eyes, and equip us to live out His compassion toward others—even those who are difficult to love. Whether you're facing a relational strain, ministering to someone in pain, or simply trying to be more like Jesus in your daily walk, this prayer will guide your heart back to Christ’s example of perfect, sacrificial love. Heavenly Father, You are the God of mercy, full of grace and lovingkindness. Fill us today with Your compassion—not just a feeling, but a way of life. Help us to see the hurting, to hear the lonely, and to respond in love. When our patience wears thin or our flesh wants to retreat, remind us of Your Son, who loved the unlovable and reached for the rejected. Make us vessels of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Crowder opens up about the powerful, hopeful message in his song, “Still.” The popular Christian music artist has a hit with his latest tune, and he shared how “Still” is a wonderful reminder about the loving God we serve, who is present no matter the circumstances. 
Watch the but moving clip to listen to Crowder share the message in "Still," and how it’s something that we can hold onto regardless of what we’re going through.

You and I are not perfect. In fact, we are very far from perfect, and to take it a step further, perfection for us and every other human being is impossible. We all have our flaws, failures and blemishes. We will all and, most certainly do, stumble and fall.

Even after we realize we are sinners who need to repent, turn our lives over to Christ and accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we’ll still fail and stumble. We aren’t made perfect. Mistakes and errors will still be a part of our existence, but we are forgiven. Once forgiven, God doesn’t just turn His back and let us fend for ourselves. No, He continues working and molding us, making us into the person He wanted us to be all along.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Crowder shares this and more, which is the central message in his hit song, “Still.”

“I know life gets messy, and problems pile up, and sometimes it feels like we’re letting God down, but the truth is in our lowest moments, God is still working,” he said. “And this song’s a reminder that His grace doesn’t depend on us getting it right. He’s not waiting on perfection. He’s present in our pain, our doubts and our failures.”

Later in the clip, the Christian music artist shared that the song is for anyone struggling and wondering whether they are a failure or a lost cause in God’s eyes.

“So, this is a song for anybody who needs to know that you’re not alone, and God’s not done,” he added.

Philippians 1:6 “For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:”

Lauren Daigle and Jamie MacDonald discussed their powerful new song, “Desperate.” The two talented Christian music artists explained why the song speaks to and means so much to them. Watch the short but impactful clip to hear what the two young women say about their tune, “Desperate.”

This world is a hopeless place, and, sadly, it is full of lost and broken people. Many are suffering and hurting, looking for anything that will alleviate their pain and sorrow, even for just a few seconds. They search near, far and everywhere in between, only to come up empty every time. Any “solution” they were to find would only be a temporary fix, a band-aid, and they’d be right back in the same, exact place shortly.

The only solution to any problem, issue or anything else that may ail this lost and broken world is Christ’s love, guidance, direction and forgiveness. Proceeding without it and attempting to go it alone on our own strength is a fool’s errand and will result in disappointment and disaster. Many people are in these desperate, seemingly hopeless positions. The only thing that can turn things around is Christ –the message of Lauren and Jamie’s powerful duet, “Desperate.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, the two musicians discussed their tune, including what part of the song “stands out” to Lauren and how the tune helped Jamie process a massive loss in her life.

“’I need heaven,’ that’s the lyric that always stands out to me,” Lauren said. “That was the line, honestly, that when I heard the song, that I felt the most desperation on because I don’t know if it’s your voice, like, trembles there,” Lauren said. “Maybe it’s just the word need, like, expressing that I can’t do this by myself.”

Later in the clip, Jamie mentioned that she had recently lost her father, and writing the song was a therapeutic exercise for her.

“It was just, like, this low time in my life where I really hadn’t, like, grieved everything with the loss of my dad,” she said. “And so, when we wrote that song, I felt, like, ‘Man, these are the words I’ve needed for so long.’”

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

Lucille Ball shares the surprising origin story of “I Love Lucy.” The comedy legend shares how the iconic and beloved television show almost did not happen. Watch the short but informative and surprising clip to hear Lucille Ball mention how the show eventually came together.

Everyone has a favorite television show. For some, that go-to program is a sitcom, while others may go the more dramatic and suspenseful route. Regardless of the genre, typically, it’s a show they can go back to whenever they are sick or feeling down and depressed. After a few moments with those characters and familiar storylines, you’re back to feeling like your old self.

However, as much as we love those programs, we don’t often get much or any background info on them. Why did this show make it to air when many others don’t? Who first came up with the show’s central premise? What were the show’s creators and producers thinking with this episode or character? Those are questions that many viewers never get answered when it comes to their favorite show.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the legendary Lucille Ball mentions how “I Love Lucy,” considered one of the greatest television shows of all time, almost did not happen. She says the network originally wanted the show filmed and produced in New York City, but Lucille was unwilling to move out to the Big Apple.

“They [the network] were impressed, and said, ‘Well, OK, and now come to New York and get to work,’” Lucille said. “And we said, ‘New York! We didn’t know you wanted us to come to New York. There’s no way.’”

She adds that she and her family had just bought a house in the Southern California area and were not packing up and moving across the country. The network threatened to drop the entire show, and Lucille was content with that if it meant moving to New York.

Then, after raising $5,000, Lucille says they bought the show, and the rest is, as they say, history.

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Meet the man on a mission to make 10,000 friends. This lofty friendship goal is one that he has spent years striving toward. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about the man who has made friendship a big goal of his and how he is going about making it a reality.

Social media has exploded within the last decade or so. It’s nearly everywhere we look, having impacted many areas of our lives. On the popular platforms, in addition to needlessly arguing with complete strangers and posting and looking at photos of cats and dogs, people can collect followers, or friends, as Facebook refers to them.

But what does having a “friend” on Facebook mean if it’s someone you haven’t talked to or seen in years, or if they are someone you have never met and don’t even know? Not a whole lot is the correct answer. At that point, the number of friends someone has on Facebook is nothing more than some odd status symbol.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Rob Lawless explains how and why he set a goal of making 10,000 friends. He has been working on it for nearly 10 years.

“I thought it was fascinating, this idea that a chance interaction could change your path, and I wanted to ask myself, ‘What happens if you introduce 10,000 chance interactions to your life?’”

In the video, Rob states what he considers making a new friend and what he and they must do to consider that a new friendship.

“We just have to spend an hour together, one on one,” he said. “And there’s no set list of questions. It’s not an interview.”

Rob’s friends range in age from a 5-year-old boy to a 100-year-old woman. He has also traveled to many different countries while working toward his goal.

“You expand your perspective with every interaction that you have with someone,” he said.

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.”

A future and a hope? Really? Why don’t I see it today, or, am I missing something? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

A mom group’s heartfelt surprise left a fellow mom, a member of their group, in tears. She could not believe what the other mothers did and immediately became emotional. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the mothers did that had their fellow group member in tears.

Unfortunately, this world is often a sad, cold and cruel place. Take a gander at popular social media platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and TikTok, and you’ll be convinced. Hatred, hostility and profanity abound on those websites where strangers lash out at one another with some of the worst, most vile things you’ll ever read.

Yes, there is no doubt that kindness is in very short supply. How hard is it to show someone kindness? Not very, right? Hold the door for someone, compliment a stranger’s outfit or acknowledge them as you pass them on the sidewalk. Who knows, your unexpected act of kindness could be just what they need and may mean the world to them. A clip posted on social media captured an unexpected act of love and kindness, a beautiful move of inclusion.

The short but powerful clip is of a mom’s group. The women, while holding their children, are all sitting in a circle when, unexpectedly, they all start signing simultaneously. The text at the top of the frame explains the situation. Apparently, the woman and her child in the middle of the frame are hearing impaired. The other group members had taken the time to learn enough of American Sign Language so they could all sign the “Hello Song.”

Once the woman understands what is happening and witnesses the love and kindness that is being shown to her and her son, she breaks down in tears.

What an unexpected but extraordinary act of kindness! We desperately need more of it in this world, where far too many possess a cruel and uncaring dog-eat-dog mentality.

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

A retiring pilot stepped off his final flight and received an unforgettable surprise. He was making his final departure, walking into the airport, when he happened upon a scene he had not anticipated. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the retiring pilot was surprised with when he stepped off the plane.

Nearly everyone has a lifelong goal of retirement. Looking toward to those Golden Years, sitting back and relaxing, without the stress and worry that comes with a 9-to-5, sounds fantastic. No one wants to be in a position where they must work until their last, dying breath.

While making a living is important and necessary, human beings were designed for more than work. The Lord wants us to explore and appreciation His creation and all that it offers. Why else would He have created such things as the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains or the Swiss Alps? For that and many other reasons, working until one’s last second on Earth is not ideal.

In a clip posted on social media, a pilot is finishing his last flight. As the text in the video mentions, he had been a pilot for more than three decades. He can be seen making his way off the plane and into the airport, near an arrival gate.

Once he approaches the gate, the retiring pilot is greeted by his entire family, waiting with cheers, applause and signs. It’s clear from the look on his face that he was not expecting them at all and was utterly taken aback by what he witnessed.

In addition to being a heartwarming scene, it was likely an expensive celebration. While the text in the video never mentions this, those waiting to greet the pilot would have had to purchase a ticket to be in that position. They would not have been able to be there otherwise.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

A 90-year-old school volunteer has proven it’s never too late to make a difference. The elderly man keeps a busy volunteer schedule, working daily with those students. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how and why this man in his 90s continues volunteering his time.

There are people in life who have been dealt some pretty horrible, devastating circumstances. Through no fault of their own, they are in an unimaginably painful and unenviable position. Try as they might, their continued and sustained effort may or may not change their situation. Sometimes, people need a helping and loving hand, even if they are too proud or ashamed to admit it.

Sadly, it’s likely that we all know someone or may know multiple people like this. They can never seem to get ahead, and when they do catch what looks like a break, something comes along and knocks them back down again. It’s that knowledge and understanding that motivates 90-year-old Silas “Manspeaker to continue volunteering his time every day to work with a kindergarten class.

“I get up every morning and I can’t wait to come to school,” Silas says in the clip posted on YouTube.

The video explains that all 300 of the school’s students are “all experiencing housing instability.”

“I love to have fun,” he said. “The children don’t have a lot of fun in their life when they first come here. And they’re scared, they’re nervous. And my job really is to keep them happy, safe.”

The clip also adds that Silas works with the children by helping them become better readers and teaching them sports and math.

The best part of his volunteer experience is seeing the difference in each of the children, seeing how much they’ve grown.

“So, watching them grow, from Day 1 to today, phenomenal,” he added.

This isn’t just something he started last month or even last year. He began volunteering his time, offering to work with the students for the last 15 years.

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

Have you drifted from God lately? Does your soul feel distant, heavy, or weary? This heartfelt prayer video is a gentle invitation to come back home—to return to the Lord tonight. Whether your heart has wandered or life has grown too loud to hear His voice, this moment is for you. God's mercy never runs out. His arms are always open. Tonight, let grace find you. 🙏 Prayer: A Heart’s Return to the Father Lord, Tonight I come back to You—not with perfect words, but with an honest heart. I’ve wandered, I’ve strayed, and yet You’ve waited patiently. Forgive me for the ways I’ve tried to do life on my own. Wash me in Your mercy. Renew my spirit. Breathe peace into my mind and hope into my soul. Thank You for never turning away when I call. I return to You tonight—fully, humbly, and gratefully. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have you ever felt invisible? Like no one sees your pain, your weariness, or the ache of loneliness? This prayer is for you. Whether you're walking through a season of grief, heartbreak, or isolation, God's Word promises that you are never truly alone. Let this video be your reminder: God is near to the brokenhearted, and His presence is your anchor—even in the quietest moments.

Forgiveness is hard—especially when the person who hurt you doesn’t acknowledge the pain they caused. But Jesus invites us to forgive anyway. Not because they earned it… but because He did. This prayer is for those wrestling with bitterness, betrayal, or deep disappointment. If you're carrying the weight of an apology that never came, this moment is for you. Pause, breathe, and let the Holy Spirit begin healing the wounds that silence never did.

I’m a what? A light? You gotta be kidding! I feel like I’m nothing special at all! www.toughquestionsforgod.org #dailydevotion #toughquestionsforgod

Let this prayer refresh your soul, renew your mind, and remind you that every day—no matter the season—is a gift from the Lord.

Heavenly Father, You see the battles I’m facing—the fear, confusion, discouragement, and relentless attacks. I declare today that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I put on the full armor of God and stand firm in Your truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. Lord, break every stronghold. Silence the lies of the enemy. Surround me with your heavenly protection and lead me in victory. I claim freedom in the name of Jesus. Let this be the day of breakthrough. Amen.

Heavenly Father, My heart is racing and my schedule is full. I feel overwhelmed, burdened, and stretched too thin. Please be my peace in the middle of this fast-paced world. Slow my thoughts. Quiet my soul. Remind me that You are near and that I don’t have to do everything in my own strength. Lead me beside still waters. Help me breathe deeply, trust fully, and rest confidently in Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
