Have you ever said something in anger, frustration, or gossip and immediately wished you could take it back?

Psalm 141:3 records David's prayer: “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.”

In today's Your Daily Prayer, Whitney Hopler reflects on why wise speech starts deeper than simply choosing better words. Our speech often reveals what's happening in our hearts.

This prayer asks the Holy Spirit for self-control, discernment, kindness, and wisdom before we speak, text, comment, or respond.

Check out this amazing story of a wallet lost more than 60 years ago, finally returned to the family it belongs to. With luck and social media on their side, the people who found the lost wallet were able to locate who exactly it belonged to and return it.

The extraordinary story starts inside an old movie theater, with owners Chris and Nicole Escobar.

“We discovered a little piece of the wall fell out right here in this corner, and then we saw this space behind the wall that no one knew about,” shared Chris Escobar.

Chris looked into the dusty space and found an old wallet filled with memories. What a special find!

“This wallet was really a time capsule. It was chock-full of everything from receipts and insurance cards and library cards,” explained Chris.

Finding the Owner

All the cards pointed to the owner of the wallet – a Mrs. Roy Culbreth. She had lost her wallet at the movie theater in 1958 while on a date with her husband.

“I immediately did a Google search and was able to find Roy Culbreth’s obituary, and from there we were able to find out that his wife’s name was Floy, which was so adorable, Roy and Floy,” said Nicole Escobar.

Chris went on and shared how they were able to locate the family to give them back the wallet. 

“Went to social media, we’re able to actually get in touch with them, and share some photos so that it was not like, ‘Hey, this is a weird thing, but here, we think we found something that belongs to your family,” said Chris.

Floy Culbreth died in 2005 at age 87, but her family was so happy to be reunited with the lost wallet.

“Opening up the contents and just absolutely seeing so much of Mother in there was overwhelming,” shared Thea, the daughter of Floy. “I mean, it was her library card - she loved to read - and I remember as a little girl going to the library with Mother. It’s brought so many memories back that we haven’t thought about in so long.”

What a gift it has been to Floy’s family, to have her wallet, lost more than 60 years ago and filled with memories of her, back in their possession.

He touches his great-granddaughter for the first time. He gives her the most precious kiss and celebrates getting to

meet her. The mother passes the baby to the patriarch, and he holds this new life.

The Power of Family in Our Life

Seeing this clip will remind us of the gift of family. God has blessed us with the generations, and we can celebrate what He does to faithfully continue family lines into future generations.

Can you stay focused on God when your schedule is overflowing?

In Luke 10:41-42, Jesus tells Martha that she is “worried and upset about many things.” Her responsibilities weren't necessarily wrong, but the many things demanding her attention had distracted her from the one thing that mattered most.

In today's Your Daily Prayer, Rachel Wojo shares how to protect your heart in a busy season, prioritize people over projects, and return your scattered attention to Jesus.

Sometimes the problem isn't that we're doing bad things.

We're doing too many good things at once.

Work needs us. Family needs us. The texts keep coming. The calendar keeps filling. And somewhere between completing the next task and answering the next notification, we can become so busy serving that we forget to simply be with Jesus.

Martha's problem wasn't that she didn't care. Jesus said she was “worried and upset about many things.”

If your attention feels pulled in a million directions today, maybe you don't need a better productivity system.

Maybe your heart needs somewhere to land.

Growth takes time.

Based on Psalm 92:13-14, this Your Nightly Prayer devotional reminds us that God is not impatient with our spiritual growth. He calls us to remain planted in Him, trust the process, and believe that fruit can continue developing in every season of life.

In this Your Nightly Prayer devotional, Michelle Treacy reflects on Isaiah 26:3 and what it means to have a steadfast mind anchored in God.

Before you carry tomorrow's worries into tonight, take a few quiet moments to pray and begin October resting in God's peace.

What happens when our reliance on prayer crosses the line into complacency or fatalism?

In this Coffee Break episode, Jaime and Alana tackle a fascinating listener question:

Can depending on prayer make you too complacent in your day-to-day life?

Using the highly relatable example of losing your keys—do you pray for them to turn up or immediately tear the house apart looking for them?—they dive deep into the tension between trusting God's provision and taking practical action.

The co-hosts explore how personality types (like being a natural "activator") play a huge role in how we approach this balance. Jaime shares a remarkable story about finding a lost bolt in the garage after stopping to pray, as well as her current journey of blending practical parenting strategies with fervent prayer. Meanwhile, Alana unpacks how genuine prayer actually engages our subconscious and prompts us to action, whether we are praying for weight loss, lost items, or big life decisions.

With a bit of laughter, they also admit that there actually might be a wrong way to pray: using it as a spiritual "post-it note" to avoid taking necessary action.

Whether you are job hunting, navigating parenthood, or just trying to find your missing hearing aid, we hope this episode encourages you to stop hiding behind prayer as an excuse, and instead let it deeply transform your everyday actions!

Singer-songwriter and actress Moriah continues to blend her passions for music, film and faith through a growing list of projects. In this episode of Crosswalk Talk with host Michael Foust, she discusses her song for the new Jimmy Stewart biopic Jimmy, along with A Music City Story, the upcoming film she stars in alongside her husband, Joel Smallbone.

Is Christianity really declining in America? Historian Thomas S. Kidd says the data tells a much different story. In this interview with Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust, Kidd discusses his new book, The Death of Religion?, and explains why the rise of the “nones” doesn’t necessarily mean Americans are abandoning Christianity. He also explores the millions of believers who may be overlooked by traditional surveys and what new research on human flourishing reveals about the benefits of religious practice. Plus, Kidd explains what these trends mean for pastors, churches and Christians trying to reach an increasingly secular culture. Kidd's book -- The Death of Religion?: Nones, Others, and the Flourishing of Faith -- was co-authored with Byron R. Johnson.

What do you do when you've prayed for direction or change but God hasn't answered in the way you expected?

After meeting a woman in Puerto Rico who waited more than a year for an unexpected answer to prayer, Laura Bailey was reminded that God's timing and methods can look very different from ours.

Reflecting on Habakkuk 3:16, today's prayer asks God for patience, peace, and faith when we don't know what He's doing next.

🔔 Biblical truth that actually applies to real life | 📱 Formation Bible Study: https://formationbible.com https://formacion-biblica.com Faith vs Works is not a debate about whether obedience matters—it is about where your account was opened. Genesis 15, salvation by faith, and good deeds reveal why you cannot earn the righteousness God freely credits. This Bible study follows Abram beneath the stars in Genesis 15, where he believed God and righteousness was credited to him before he could offer a résumé. Trace Paul’s explanation in Romans 4 and Galatians 3, then see how James 2 describes the visible fruit of faith without turning that fruit into payment. Discover why faith opens the account, works reveal that faith is alive, and grace frees you to live from acceptance rather than work toward it.

When life feels overwhelming, our instinct can be to grip tighter, plan harder, and try to control every possible outcome.

Based on Zechariah 4:6, this Your Nightly Prayer reminds us that God's work is accomplished not simply through human strength, but through His Spirit. Take the next faithful step—and trust God with what remains outside your control.

The infamous 'Miracle on the Hudson' heroes reunite after 15 years. Over a decade ago, Captain

Chesley Sullenberger and his co-pilot made an emergency landing on the Hudson River, saving the lives of over 150 people. Watch the video to see him recall the day he saved 150 people. 

That day over 15 years ago, the plane hit a flock of birds in flight and lost thrust. As New Yorkers below saw the plane on fire, looking like it would soon crash, emergency workers began to get phone calls. Meanwhile, the NYPD scuba team put their gear on, ready for anything. 

When Captain Sully realized he didn’t have enough altitude or speed to make it to LaGuardia Airport. He quickly chose the least bad option to land—the wide, flat Hudson River. Sully safely and skillfully landed in the water, where passengers escaped. 

The Rest Is History

The scuba team was there, in a chopper, to help them out of the frigid water, which was a mere 36°. Miraculously, everyone survived.

The captain reunited with the dive team and thanked them for playing a role in saving lives that day. It wasn’t just divers who helped the people out of the water. There were lots of people—private boats, ferries, and various emergency responders. 

One of the divers, Robert Rodriguez, said, “It's probably the first time collectively a bunch of people from different industries did a gut check and said, ‘I'm going to act bravely in this moment.’ I know I had some fear in the helicopter that day, but I said, ‘This is what you've been tasked to do. This is your job, so swallow it and try to save whoever you can.’”

The landing was so extraordinary that filmmakers made a movie about the pilot and the plane landing, called “Sully,” in 2016. It’s certain that the people who helped to save those passengers will never be forgotten.
