Do you ever feel a deep longing for something this world can’t satisfy? This heartfelt devotional and prayer will gently guide your heart to what Scripture promises: Heaven is real, and it’s worth longing for. When this life feels overwhelming or your heart grows heavy with grief, loss, or weariness—God invites you to set your eyes on the eternal hope found in Him. Through Scripture reflections on Philippians 3:20, Revelation 21:4, and 2 Corinthians 4:18, this prayer helps realign your heart with the promise of heaven—where every tear will be wiped away, and every longing fulfilled in God’s presence. Father God, In this life filled with trouble and distraction, remind us that our true home is with You. Help us to long not for fleeting comfort, but for Your eternal glory. Teach our hearts to hope in heaven—not as escape, but as assurance. Fix our eyes on Jesus, our living hope. Until that glorious day comes, help us live with purpose, peace, and anticipation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Drawing from Psalm 139:13-14, this video is a gentle reminder that your worth doesn’t come from how the world sees you, but from the God who made you with intention, care, and eternal purpose. Whether you’re struggling with body image, self-worth, or simply need reassurance of God’s nearness and delight in you—this message is for you. Heavenly Father, Thank You for the reminder that I am Your creation—crafted with love, care, and purpose. When I forget my worth, draw me back to Your truth. When I doubt my value, remind me that I bear Your image. I praise You for making me wonderfully—inside and out. Help me walk in confidence, rooted in Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

That makes no sense! Save … loose, what are you talking about? Jesus, talk to me in a way I can understand what you are saying! #toughquestionsforgod #toughquestions #faithinjesus #jesusislord

An officer arrived just in time to rescue a choking 2-year-old. The officer was in the right place at the right time and saved the young man’s life. Watch the short but powerful clip to see and hear about the officer’s lifesaving move.

Today, heroes are few and far between. Despite what some people may believe, those on television, in the movies, in the Oval Office or in Congress are not heroes. Even though they may say and claim otherwise, those individuals are, for the most part, motivated by selfish ambition.

Selfish ambition, money or fame are not motivating factors for heroes. They do not think of themselves or their well-being when they act. Instead, they are concerned about others. Heroes will and do act with little to no concern for their safety and well-being, often putting their lives on the line for strangers. A clip posted on YouTube captured the actions of an officer who happened to be at the right place at just the right time.

An officer was pulling into a gas station to fill up his vehicle when he spotted a commotion. Several people had gathered, crowding around for some reason. It turned out that a young man, a 2-year-old, was choking on a piece of a hot dog that had gotten lodged in his throat. No one could get it out, and that’s when the officer stepped up and acted. He worked frantically, pounding on the young’s back, hoping to free the piece of meat from the child’s throat.

Eventually, the officer performed the Heimlich maneuver, which was successful. The hot dog was removed, and the child was able to start breathing once again.

While the officer should be rightfully recognized for his lifesaving, heroic act, he put the spotlight back on the child, calling the young man “brave.”

“He was brave, to be honest with you,” the officer said. “That was probably one of the bravest kids that I’ve encountered.”

2 Timothy 2:15 “Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.”

Be courageous? Strong? God, do You see the things I’m going through!? #toughquestionsforgod #toughquestions #jesus #faith

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving us with a love that never fades or fails. In a world that often measures worth by performance or popularity, remind us that our value is found in You alone. May this person watching today feel seen, known, and cherished by You. Wrap them in peace. Speak truth to their heart. Remind them they are Your masterpiece—chosen, beloved, and never alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen. This heartfelt devotional is a reminder from Scripture that God's love is personal, constant, and unshakable. You are not forgotten. You are not invisible. The Creator of the universe knows your name, sees your struggles, and cherishes your heart—even when the world overlooks you. Drawing from powerful Bible verses like Isaiah 43:1, Psalm 139, and Romans 5:8, this message gently walks you back to truth: You are loved not because of what you do, but because of who God is. Whether you’re facing rejection, insecurity, or just a difficult season, let this be your reminder: You are deeply seen. You are endlessly valued. You are truly cherished.

A reporter on live TV dropped everything to help during an emergency. The young man was on air when he unexpectedly disappeared to rush over and assist someone in need. Watch the short clip to see the moment and to learn what happened that caused the reporter to rush to the scene.

Everyone is familiar with local television news broadcasts. Decades ago, they were the best and, besides a newspaper, one of the only sources of information. In those years, people would huddle around the television just as the broadcast was starting, not wanting to miss a second of the news and information being dispensed by the anchors.

Now, the internet exists, where information is available in real time, and waiting for a television news broadcast is unnecessary. They will just tell you information that’s been on the internet for three or four hours, anyway, right? Regardless, there are still people, for some reason, who watch local and national television news broadcasts. Well, those watching a Chicago station’s broadcast didn’t get just information easily found on the internet, but witnessed something completely unexpected.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a reporter is live on air giving his report when he runs off camera in the middle of it, making for an awkward situation. He can be heard saying, “Oh shoot,” before he sets down his microphone and disappears.

So, what happened? Well, it turns out the reporter was concerned about someone who was involved in a horrific accident and ran over to check on them.

Later in the broadcast, the reporter returns and explains that a runner and a cyclist collided, sending the cyclist over their bike and onto the ground. The cyclist hit the ground so hard that their helmet broke. The cyclist was said to be up and moving around following the incident.

While his unexpected exit may have made for an awkward few moments, the reporter’s concern and assistance during that emergency are admirable, and something we could use more of in this world.

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

A kindhearted mailman comforted a woman during some difficult moments. The government worker showed her some unexpected kindness and love following a loss. Watch the short but powerful clip to see how the mailman comforted her during a heartbreaking situation.

We are often blessed in life with happy and joyous occasions worth celebrating and remembering. However, not every moment will make you want to jump for joy. Unfortunately, loss is a part of life. It’s an aspect that no one enjoys, but sadly, it’s inevitable, as is the hurt, heartache and sorrow that often accompany a loss.

For those who have experienced those deep, dark valleys, it’s one of the worst experiences imaginable—nothing to wish on your worst enemy. But even when we are hurting and in despair, the Lord is still in control and offers comfort and healing. He remains faithful and loving, never leaving our side as He walks through those deep, dark valleys with us.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a mailman is a beautiful, shining example of the type of love and comfort the Lord provides during our times of sorrow and despair. Sitting on her steps as the mailman approached, the woman had recently lost her beloved pet. The mailman was delivering her the animal’s ashes.

However, instead of simply handing her the package and continuing his route, he sits beside her.  He did not want to leave her while she was hurting and distraught. Soon after sitting down, the woman, overcome with emotion, leaned over and hugged the kind and loving mailman.
While the man did not say a word, what he did meant the world to that woman in her time of immense grief and pain.

“Thank you so much,” the woman says through tears and sniffles.

What a beautiful example of kindness, gentleness and love when someone needed it the most.

Psalm 23:4 “Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.”

Rebecca St. James and her husband opened up about marriage, patience and God’s faithfulness. The Christian music artist shared how she believed for the longest time that she would never find someone to marry and how she eventually had to give that fear and struggle to God. Watch the short but powerful interview to hear Rebecca and her husband discuss their marriage and learning to rely on God and His faithfulness.

No one wants to live life by themselves. How lonely and miserable an existence would that be? Human beings are not made to be islands but are instead designed for relationships with one another. Through these interactions, these relationships, human beings help, uplift, encourage and celebrate one another. Relationships make life a much fuller and richer experience.

That’s precisely God’s design and intention for a marriage relationship. When one is down, the other is there to uplift and encourage. The other can provide healing and comfort when one is sick and suffering. Both are made better because of the other. A marriage relationship, when God is kept at the center of it, is one of life’s most incredible experiences.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Rebecca mentions how she didn’t believe she would ever get married. For the longest time, she felt God had someone specifically for her, but she started to lose hope when that person never materialized in her life. She eventually came to the point where she had to surrender that fear and worry to God.

Cubbie Fink, Rebecca’s eventual husband, was in a similar position. He started to lose hope that the person God had chosen for him was not out there. Nearing this point of throwing in the towel on love and marriage, Cubbie and Rebecca met in Los Angeles and immediately hit it off.

After falling in love and getting married, Rebecca and Cubbie encountered heartbreaking challenges regarding having children. Rebecca shared that she had experienced two miscarriages. Around this time, Cubbie also lost his job, and his mother became sick.

However, through it all, Rebecca and Cubbie put their faith and trust in God, and learned that even during those painful and heartbreaking moments, God was still at work.

“And so, learning how to trust God in the middle of that pain, learning how to pursue each other when we both felt equally low, and equally in the pain, and in the winter,” she said. “And just learning to trust that God would redeem and He would restore, and He would be faithful. I think that there was so much richness and good in the winter, but when you’re in it, it’s hard to see.”

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word.”

Loving your enemies may be one of the hardest commands in Scripture—but it’s also one of the clearest. In this powerful daily prayer video, we ask God for supernatural compassion and mercy for those who have hurt us, opposed us, or stood in conflict with us.

And yet, You call us not to return evil for evil, but to bless and forgive. Father, soften our hearts toward those who’ve hurt us. Help us remember that they, too, are made in Your image. Give us divine compassion, not in our strength but Yours. Remind us that forgiveness sets us free and that love disarms darkness. Use our kindness to lead others toward repentance and healing. We want to love like Jesus—even when it’s hard. Amen. #ForgivenessPrayer #LoveYourEnemies #ChristianForgiveness #DailyPrayer #PrayerForEnemies #LetGoOfHate #HealingPrayer #JesusTeachesLove #MercyOverJudgment #BiblicalForgiveness
