When we look at the heroes of the Bible, it’s easy to focus on their victories and forget their failures. But Scripture doesn’t hide their broken moments—it highlights them to show us the power of God’s grace. Tonight’s episode reminds us that God has always worked through imperfect people. Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, Paul—each failed in significant ways, yet none were disqualified from God’s purposes. Grace is not God overlooking sin; it is God redeeming sinners. Where failure feels final, grace tells a better story. This meditation invites you to stop letting your past define you and instead allow God’s restoring grace to shape your future.

Financial stress has a way of getting into everything—your sleep, your conversations, your sense of security, and even your peace with God. This devotional opens with an honest picture many people recognize: the cost of living rising, unexpected expenses piling up, and the uneasy feeling that no matter how hard you work or how carefully you plan, you’re still barely getting by. When budgets are tight and debt feels heavy, anxiety can hit fast with a single thought: How are we going to recover from this? What makes the situation even more discouraging is when you’ve tried to do the “right” things—avoiding unnecessary spending, saving where you can, and giving faithfully—yet still feel trapped. The devotional doesn’t shame that struggle. Instead, it reminds us that Scripture takes money seriously and speaks to it often, because finances reveal what we trust, what we fear, and what we serve. Philippians 4:19 offers a steady anchor: God promises to meet our needs according to His riches in Christ. That doesn’t mean believers are guaranteed wealth or a problem-free financial life. But it does mean we are not abandoned. God’s provision is real, and He invites us to live with open hands—using money as a tool rather than a master, practicing generosity with joy, and seeking wisdom to steward what He has entrusted to us. In seasons where money is tight, the devotional encourages a posture shift: from panic to prayer, from striving alone to seeking God’s discernment. Faithfulness isn’t just about giving; it’s about honoring God in the way we save, spend, plan, and respond under pressure. When we ask God to show us where to adjust, to build healthier habits, and to trust His care, we begin to experience His guidance and peace—often one practical step at a time.

It’s easy to assume that being compassionate means carrying everyone else’s emotions as if they’re our own. When we love people deeply, we naturally want to help them through their struggles. We listen, we empathize, we pray, and sometimes we even absorb their fear, anxiety, and heaviness without realizing it. This devotional is a reminder that while God calls us to bear one another’s burdens, He doesn’t call us to be emotionally overtaken by everything happening around us. The world is full of brokenness, and people are often hurting—but we cannot control their circumstances or fix every problem. What we can control is how we respond and how we protect what’s happening inside of us. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us that our heart is the source from which everything flows. If our heart becomes polluted by negativity, bitterness, fear, or constant emotional overload, it becomes difficult to live with peace, wisdom, and spiritual strength. Guarding your heart doesn’t mean shutting people out. It means staying rooted in Christ while you walk with others through their pain. God can help you be compassionate without becoming consumed. When you keep Jesus at the center, your heart stays healthy soil—ready to bear good fruit, even in hard seasons.

Most of us know the sting of being picked last—whether it was on a playground team, in a social group, or even in life itself. It can leave you feeling overlooked, unworthy, or like you’re always trailing behind while others seem to move forward with ease. This devotional speaks directly to that ache and the grief that comes when healing, growth, or breakthrough feels delayed. The author reflects on childhood experiences of being physically overlooked, then connects that feeling to something deeper: the pain of silently struggling for years without understanding what was happening internally. When healing finally came later in life, it felt unfair—like time had been stolen and God had somehow skipped over them. But Scripture reminds us that God’s timing and positioning are never accidental. In Numbers 10, the tribe of Dan marched last—not because they were less important, but because they were assigned a crucial role. They served as the rear guard, protecting the rest of Israel from attacks that could come from behind. Their “last place” was actually a place of purpose, strength, and responsibility. Sometimes we assume being last means we are forgotten, when in reality, God may be placing us where we can protect, serve, or strengthen others in ways we don’t yet understand. The world equates being chosen last with being less valuable, but God’s kingdom turns that thinking upside down. God sees every season, every delay, and every hardship—and He never wastes any part of your story.

Many customers who frequent a Publix location are more than happy to wait in this specific line. The reason they do not mind waiting will bring a tear or two to your eye. Watch this short but powerful clip to hear what makes one checkout line at a Publix in Georgia so special.

Grocery shopping is one of the worst things humans must do with regularity. Shopping is already a horrible activity, but when it involves entering, looking for and purchasing items at a grocery store, it gets considerably worse. There is no such thing as a quick trip to the grocery store.

People, when they walk through those doors, seem to magically forget that others exist. And you know exactly what I am talking about. It never fails that someone will be standing right in front of whatever you need, carefully and thoroughly examining bottles of ketchup as if they’ve never seen the popular condiment before.

However, at a Publix in Acworth, Georgia, there doesn’t seem to be any of that typical stress and anxiety. Instead, customers will willingly wait 30-40 minutes in a specific checkout line. And why do the customers do this? It’s so they can interact with Michael Masterangelo.
Michael, who has an intellectual disability, loves and cheers on all of the customers who come through his line.

“I’m just so happy to be here every day to work,” Michael said.

And his unbridled happiness and joy are infectious, rubbing off on customers and co-workers alike. Michael’s mother says her son is a people person who is always happy and upbeat.

One customer said that whenever she comes into the store, she immediately looks to see if 
Michael is working. She added that if he is, “it just changes everything.”

Michael doesn’t just brighten the lives of customers and his co-workers; his efforts and tremendous attitude are having a far-reaching impact.

Michael raised more than $31,000 in donations at his register for the Special Olympics.
“He raised more alone than certain districts in our region,” one Publix employee said.

What a wonderful young man. It’s clear that he was working at your local grocery store, grocery shopping would be a lot less terrible.

Hebrews 13:16 “But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.”

JESUS ESTA VOLTANDO E SUA PALAVRA É FORTE

Life seasons change quietly and sometimes painfully. Moments that once felt full and familiar can suddenly feel distant, uncertain, or bittersweet. Whether it’s a child leaving home, a shift in relationships, or a new stage you didn’t expect, these transitions can stir gratitude and grief at the same time. This devotional reminds us that God’s grace meets us fully in every season—especially the ones marked by letting go. Feeling sadness, fear, or uncertainty is not a failure of faith. God does not condemn us for struggling with change; instead, His compassion draws near. His grace assures us that what feels like an ending is not the end of joy. Scripture promises that God is able to make all grace abound. That grace supplies what we need, sustains us when emotions fluctuate, and carries us forward into what He is still unfolding. While the season may look different than before, God’s goodness has not diminished. His grace remains generous, patient, and abundant—covering the past, present, and every step ahead.

Wind down with tonight’s episode of Your Nightly Prayer: Dust and Grace. Written by Sophia Bricker and read by host Brooke McLoughlin, this devotional reflects on Genesis, Ash Wednesday, and the hope of resurrection through Christ. Be reminded that though we return to dust, God’s grace offers eternal life. Includes a calming bedtime prayer and short meditation prompts to help you rest in faith.

Many of us carry wounds shaped by our earthly relationships—especially when love from a parent felt inconsistent, absent, or conditional. Those experiences can quietly influence how we view God, leaving us striving for approval, afraid of failure, or convinced we must earn love through performance. This devotional reminds us that the Father’s love is not based on our past, our perfection, or our ability to “get it right.” Through Jesus, we are welcomed into God’s family as His children. Not because of human effort or merit, but because God chose us. Receiving the Father’s love often requires unlearning lies we’ve believed for years—that God is distant, angry, or withholding. Scripture reveals a different truth: when we receive Christ, we are fully embraced by a Father whose love heals, restores, and never lets go. If your earthly story included loss, pain, or rejection, God’s love meets you there. He invites you to stop running, stop striving, and rest in the security of being His child.

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; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

John Crist shared his thoughts on the right and grateful way to view aging. The popular funnyman had some insightful words on getting older. Watch the short, but powerful and moving clip to hear what John had to say about the proper way to view the aging process.

Time is something that no one can or will ever be able to stop. It constantly marches forward, going into the future and not stopping or waiting for anyone. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, no matter how much we ignore or despise our birthdays, aging is a consistent and constant process as well. Even though beauty may promise otherwise, there is no way to stop, reverse or slow down the aging process. Human beings get older, and that is a fact of life.

Even though getting older is a fact, many still struggle with it. They may lie about their age or refuse to acknowledge their birthdays, but that doesn’t really change anything. So, instead of avoiding and lying about getting older, why not do something else about it? Why not be grateful for getting older, and perhaps even celebrate aging?

In a clip posted on YouTube, John shared the right way to confront aging. Simply be thankful for another day of life and make the most of it. We are not promised tomorrow. Thank the Lord for giving us another day of life when He did not have to do that at all.

“That’s the right way to look at it,” he said. “If you had to look at it one of the two ways, that’s the way to look at it.”

Later in the clip, John imagined what our lives would be like if we took this approach to getting older.

“What if that was us?” he asked. “What if you could live like that?”

He also added “that’s the way, and “this is the way.”

Proverbs 16:31 “The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.”

Valentine’s Day often highlights romantic love — but from God’s perspective, love is so much bigger. In today’s episode of Your Daily Prayer, we reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:36–40 and the greatest commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind — and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Written by Whitney Hopler and presented by LifeAudio, this prayer reminds us that love is more than a feeling — it’s a daily choice. Whether you’re celebrating romance, friendship, or walking through this season single, you can choose to walk in God’s love. When we choose kindness, forgiveness, grace, and service, God’s love flows through our lives and blesses those around us. This Valentine’s Day, make a fresh commitment to let love guide your words, actions, and decisions. 🙏 Join us in prayer and recommit to walking in God’s love — today and every day. Scripture: Matthew 22:36–40 #ValentinesDay #DailyPrayer #ChristianEncouragement #LoveGod #Faith #LifeAudio

God loves so much that he knows what you need. Don't worry that he is supernatural. Walk by faith and not by sight.
