Not all ministry happens on a stage. Not all purpose is tied to a platform. Sometimes the most sacred work is done in the laundry room, on the drive to school, during quiet conversations, or while cleaning up messes no one else sees. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” — Colossians 3:23 In today’s reflection and prayer, we invite you to see your everyday moments as worship. The chores, the caregiving, the errands—they aren’t wasted. When done with love, they become acts of sacred service to God. He sees it all, and He is present in it all.

The glory of God??? It’s all around us! Why then is it so hard to keep that in the forefront of our minds throughout the day? #toughquestionsforgod #questioneverything #questionoftheday #questionjesus #jesusquestions #faithquestions

A sweet bond exists between a group of high school runners and a woman nicknamed the "popsicle lady." It's an unexpected connection, but one that is sure to bring a tear or two to your eye. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to hear why the connection between the runners and the woman is so special.

Although most people do not consider exercising particularly enjoyable, getting a certain amount of activity daily remains necessary for everyone. Even avid runners don't actually love running; they enjoy the feeling that comes after the run: the endorphins and sense of accomplishment.

Nevertheless, people still run all the time. There are entire sports where all the participants do is run, such as track and field events and cross country. Sadly, unlike other sports, the athletes in those sports do not get nearly as much fanfare as basketball, baseball or football. However, in a clip posted on YouTube, one woman shows a group of young runners appreciation and attention for their efforts in a unique and sweet way.

While training, a group of high school cross-country runners in Minnesota has a favorite route. It's the one that takes them by Sandy Bass's house, or the popsicle lady, as the young runners call her. That's because she treats all of them to a delicious frozen treat every time they come by her house. As the video points out, this has been happening for over a decade.

The kids absolutely love stopping by Sandy's house for a momentary break from a long run. For Sandy, it's about much more than handing out popsicles to youngsters. Sadly, Sandy's husband, Tim, died in April.

"When the kids started coming and ringing the doorbell and gave me a reason to get dressed, maybe some days," she said. "You'll probably get me crying now. It's everything."

What a beautiful story about a woman showing kindness to others, but who says she is getting much more in return.

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."

Forrest Frank revealed how God led him into Christian music. The popular Christian music artist shared his powerful testimony, which shows God at work in his life, leading and directing him where to go. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how Forrest was told he would make Christian music.

We all want a clear mission and plan for our lives, a stated purpose and a direction. That makes complete and total sense. Who would want to live an aimless and directionless life, where nothing of value or worth is accomplished? That sounds like a recipe for a horrible, miserable existence, one in which we would constantly be questioning ourselves.

Thankfully, the Lord does have a will and plan for every one of us. However, finding out what that plan and the direction for our lives is much easier said than done. Getting to that point could mean some stumbling, falling and failing, or it could not. In a clip posted on YouTube, Forrest discusses the unique and shocking way the Lord informed him that he was to go into the Christian music world and make music.

“A girl came up to me in church, and she’s like, ‘Hey, I had a dream of, I don’t know you,’” he said. “She’s from a different city. She’s like, ‘Hey, God gave me a dream about someone named Forrest Frank, and a lot of it was about this prophetic thing about, ‘Hey, I think you’re supposed to do Christian music. And you’re going to, like, change the game,” he recalled she told him. “This is before I ever did any Christian music.”

What a powerful moment! It demonstrates how God uses others to communicate his message and plans for our lives.

We may never experience something like Forrest did, but God has a plan and purpose for our lives.

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.”

Methuselah: The Longest‑Lived Man in the Bible — A Legacy of Longevity and God’s Patience Methuselah is a fascinating figure in Scripture, known primarily for living an astonishing 969 years—the longest lifespan recorded in the Bible. According to Genesis 5:21–27, Methuselah was the son of Enoch, fathered Lamech when he was 187, then lived another 782 years before his death at 969 years old. He was a key link in the lineage from Adam to Noah—connecting the early patriarchs and playing a symbolic role between the pre‑Flood world and the post‑Flood era. His name—possibly meaning “when he dies, judgment shall come”—may hint at the connection between his death and the onset of the Flood, suggesting divine timing. Some scholars propose that Methuselah’s exceptional lifespan symbolizes God’s patience and mercy, giving humanity extended time to repent before judgment. Others assert that his age may be literal, metaphorical, or the result of ancient symbolic or numeric systems. Despite the mystery surrounding the specifics, Methuselah’s place in biblical history underscores themes of faithfulness, generational legacy, and the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan. What stands out to you most about Methuselah’s life? Drop a comment—whether it’s his longevity, his place in history, or what his story reveals about God’s patience.

A teacher’s selfless act for her coworker’s family will restore your faith in humanity. The educator’s love and kindness literally saved a life. Watch the short but powerful clip to see what the teacher did that saved a life because it will restore your faith in humanity, at least momentarily, anyway.

How far are you willing to go to help someone else? Many people would like to believe they’d go to extraordinary lengths to assist another person if they were in a position to do so. But is that true? Again, we’d like to think it was, but then we’d immediately start thinking about how much it would cost us to help another person. What would I lose or have to give up?

Of course, it’s human nature to be concerned about self-preservation. We want to make sure that we’ll be OK and have enough; after that, if we still feel comfortable, we’ll lend our assistance. But is that how Christians are supposed to help and act?

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman, an elementary teacher, had a coworker whose husband was badly needing a kidney.  Without that transplant, he was not going to survive, and the couple’s two young children would grow up without ever knowing their father.

Understanding the family’s precarious situation, Lillian Johnston went and got tested to see if she was a match, and as it turned out, she was a perfect match. So, Lillian agreed to go under the knife and donated one of her kidneys to Allie Szcecinski’s husband, Brad.

“About 11 years ago, I was in a situation where I almost lost my life,” Lillian said. “And I remember thinking about my kids growing up without mom, and so that’s where my mind went.”

Lillian added that she was never scared but was actually excited.

To make the entire story even more unbelievable, the hospital where the transplant took place is on the cutting edge. Brad, who received the kidney, was not put under during the procedure. And the entire surgery didn’t even take an hour.

Philippians 2:3 “Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self, let everyone take others to be better than himself.”

Jeremiah 2: 13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

Not every season is filled with breakthrough, noise, or clarity. Some are marked by stillness. Waiting. Silence. And yet, it’s in the quiet where God often does His deepest work. When life slows down or feels directionless, His presence remains faithful. 📖 “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14 📖 “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 In today’s prayer, we bring the quiet seasons to God—those in-between times when answers seem distant and forward movement feels slow. We ask Him to help us recognize that silence does not equal absence, and that hidden seasons are holy too.

Loneliness can be one of the most painful and isolating experiences. Whether you're in a new place, navigating rejection, or simply struggling to connect with others, it can feel like you're completely alone. But God's Word promises that even when people feel distant, He is near. 📖 “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.” — Psalm 25:16 📖 “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.” — Psalm 27:10 In today’s prayer, we bring feelings of isolation, rejection, and longing to the One who knows us completely and never leaves us. Jesus understands what it means to be alone—and He offers His perfect companionship. You are deeply loved, fully seen, and never forgotten.

Anxiety can steal our peace and even our sleep, but Philippians 4:6 reminds us that God invites us to bring every concern—big or small—to Him. In tonight's evening prayer, Jennifer Slattery, host of the Faith Over Fear show, shares that when fear floods our hearts, we can fix our minds on truth: the Lord is near, He is our refuge, and He will never abandon us. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools we have against worry. When we thank God for His past faithfulness, we shift our focus from the size of our problems to the strength of our God. The same God who has been your help in the past will continue to protect, provide, and guide you in the future. 📖 Tonight’s Scripture: Philippians 4:6 (NIV) "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." 🔗 Read more on BibleStudyTools.com 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Father, Thank You for watching over me and providing for me in every season. You see my concerns and understand the weight of my heart. Quiet my anxious thoughts and help me to rest in Your presence tonight. Fill me with Your truth, and remind me that Your plans for me are good, Your power is unmatched, and Your love never fails. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Sometimes, the hardest part about grace isn’t believing it exists—it’s believing it applies to you. We can get stuck in cycles of self-condemnation, feeling too broken or too guilty for God’s love to reach us. But the truth of Lamentations 3:22 is that His steadfast love and endless mercy are not contingent on our perfection. In this evening prayer and devotional, Amanda Idleman shares how God spoke into her season of anxiety, depression, and marriage struggles with a simple but life-changing message: “Accept my grace. It’s enough for even this.” Grace takes humility—both to receive it for ourselves and to extend it to others. And once we do, we find freedom from the crushing weight of guilt and shame. No matter how many times you’ve fallen short, His mercy is greater. Accepting grace is the first step toward healing and living in the hope-filled future God desires for you. Tonight’s Scripture: Lamentations 3:22 (ESV) “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end.” 🔗 Read more on BibleStudyTools.com

Parenting is holy work—but it’s also hard work. The endless tasks, emotional exhaustion, guilt, and constant demands can leave you feeling like you’re drowning in the daily grind. This prayer is for every mom or dad who feels like they’re failing, tired, or just barely holding it together. 📖 “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 In today’s prayer, we ask God to renew strength, restore joy, and remind every parent that He sees them. He’s not waiting for perfection—He’s walking with you in the mess, offering grace for each moment. You are not alone in the trenches.

Pulse's Nick Hall says Gen Z is sparking a revival across of America, as thousands of young people are turning to Jesus with boldness and passion. At the Amplify event in Arkansas, more than 45,000 gathered, 22,000 were trained to share the gospel, and over 1,200 responded to Christ. Hall believes this generation’s hunger for authenticity and truth is fueling a nationwide spiritual awakening that is spreading from stadiums to cell phones.

A handful of brave neighbors rushed into a burning house to rescue a pair of dogs. The heroic gentlemen risked their lives when they entered the engulfed residence to find and rescue the animals. Watch the short but jaw-dropping video to learn about and see their heroic deed.

Emergencies do happen in life. Unfortunately, they are impossible to plan for or predict. But I guess that’s why they are emergencies, always catching people off guard and usually at the worst possible moment. The best we can do and hope for is to be prepared and know what to do in the event of a crisis.

However, one can practice, plan and prepare for emergencies of all kinds, shapes and forms. While it’s good to be ready and equipped with the knowledge of what to do, where and when if a disaster were to strike, we can never be sure how we’d react until we’re put in that situation. We’d all like to believe we’d act heroically and not freeze up when quick, decisive action is needed. Acting heroically, quickly and decisively is precisely what a group of men did when they spotted a neighbor’s house on fire.

In the video posted on YouTube, the men are captured attempting to bust their neighbor’s front door in because they fear that they are still in the burning house. While trying to barge into the residence, the men are informed that a dog is inside the engulfed structure. Once they get the door busted down, they all dart into the house, and soon after entering, they remerge with the canines.

Those heroes got those canines and themselves out of the house just in time. One of the men, who assisted with the courageous rescue said that about 30 seconds to a minute later, the rest of the house was essentially gone, burnt up in the fire.

Psalm 82:3 “Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.”

A couple’s unique love story begins with a childhood bedroom rental. A man and a woman who eventually got married have one of the strangest and sweetest beginnings to their love story. Watch the short but sweet clip to hear how a relationship that resulted in marriage all started when she rented the man’s childhood bedroom.

No one wants to go through life alone. That would be a lonely and miserable existence. Marriage is the building block, the foundation, of society. That institution is a perfect environment to raise children.  A marriage relationship also meets and satisfies our desire for connection and relationship with others. Marriage, while like anything else worthwhile, is difficult and requires a lot of time, work and effort, but it is very much worth it.

Thanks to technological advances, there are many more ways to meet people today than five or ten years ago. However, the best way to meet someone is still in person, without a screen. A clip posted on YouTube explains how one man met his eventual wife after she agreed to rent his childhood bedroom in the house where his parents still live.

Little did Carisa know that when she found a place to stay on Furnished Finder, she was renting a bedroom from her future in-laws. It was her future husband’s room. As the two tell it, they first met when Andrew arrived to help Carisa move into her room, his former room. But they both admit, it wasn’t love at first sight.

Then something odd happened, which started these two down the path to marriage. Andrew and Carisa both had tickets to see John Foreman, the lead singer of the band Switchfoot. They were both going by themselves.

Knowing they were both going to the same concert alone, they shared a ride to the show. That night, the two of them stayed up into the wee hours of the morning talking. Two years later, Andrew and Carisa were saying, “I do,” at their Star Wars-themed wedding.

Love is a strange thing at times, and you never know where you may find it.

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

In a world that constantly pulls us toward comparison, greed, and financial pressure, it’s easy to lose sight of what it means to be faithful with what we have. But Scripture teaches that everything we own is God’s—and we are simply stewards. 📖 “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2 Today’s prayer invites us to surrender our finances to the Lord—asking for wisdom in spending, generosity in giving, and trust when resources feel tight. Whether you're managing plenty or making ends meet, God cares deeply about your heart and how you handle what He’s given. 💡 This isn’t just a money prayer—it’s a trust prayer.

Health anxiety can be paralyzing. Every ache becomes a threat. Every doctor visit triggers fear. The unknowns spiral, and peace feels far away. But even in that storm, God is near. 📖 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7 📖 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” — Psalm 56:3 In today’s prayer, we bring our physical fears to the One who created our bodies, knows our hearts, and holds our future. This isn’t about pretending the fear doesn’t exist—it’s about trusting God more than the fear. He offers peace, not because the outcome is guaranteed, but because His presence is.

Gratitude isn’t always easy—especially when life feels overwhelming, disappointing, or rushed. But Scripture shows us that giving thanks is more than a reaction to good things; it’s a discipline that shapes our faith and opens our eyes to God's goodness. 📖 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In today’s prayer and reflection, we ask God to help us develop hearts that notice His faithfulness—not just when life is good, but also in the hard, quiet, and ordinary moments. A grateful heart doesn’t ignore pain—it surrenders it, trusting that God is still working in and through it. Let gratitude reframe your perspective and renew your spirit.
