A group of young children shared heartfelt lessons on grief after losing their beloved dog. The youngsters went through a painful, devastating situation, but even at their young age, they have learned something many people, much older than them, still struggle to grasp. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what these youngsters have learned after losing a cherished pet.

Many situations and circumstances in life deserve to be recognized and celebrated. We all want to experience as much joy and happiness as possible. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want that? You and I would think there’d be something incredibly wrong with someone who didn’t want as much joy and happiness in their life as possible.

However, while experiencing joy and happiness 24/7/365 is a nice goal and something to strive for, it is impossible. We all go through deep, dark and truly painful valleys. Death and loss are sadly very real, often causing much hurt and heartache. Not even youngsters are spared from going through these deep, dark valleys, as a clip posted on YouTube makes clear.

Three young children lost their beloved dog, a devastating blow, causing each of them immense pain and grief. But instead of getting upset and holding those feelings inside, they found and learned how to express and work through their grief.

The children organized a community-wide funeral for their pet, and several dogs and people attended the service. At that service, the children were able to express their feelings and the hurt they experienced following that loss.

But what the young man said about grief will completely blow you away. Hearing such wisdom from someone so young is impressive. As odd as it may sound, he mentioned that joy plays a role in coping with grief.

“Yes, because it allows you to realize that even after you’ve lost, there is still meaning to life,” he said.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Look beyond the cross to examine the story of Judas Iscariot, revealing that his greatest sin wasn't betrayal, but where he sought redemption.

Why Jesus chose this place of crushing, the true weight of the "cup" He drank, let His sacrifice change our perspective on sin and salvation.

This elderly woman’s words of wisdom will encourage and inspire you. She shares a powerful message about life’s many seasons and navigating them when they are less-than-pleasant and even downright painful. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear her moving, uplifting words of wisdom.

Sadly, life is not always an entirely delightful experience. Not every situation you face will make you feel warm and fuzzy. In fact, there will be instances that will hurt and result in immense heartache. I’m sorry if I burst your bubble if you, for some reason, thought otherwise. But let’s be honest, it was either going to be me or life because we all do and will encounter circumstances that are unpleasant and painful.

Anyone who has ever endured a challenging and gut-wrenching situation knows all too well that they can often feel as if they will never end. However, eventually, those seasons pass, which is always hard to remember and consider when in the middle of it. However, a clip posted on social media reminds us of the hope and belief we can hold onto when we’re in a painful, difficult season.

In the video, the older woman shares some words of wisdom and advice that we should all remember and implement whenever we encounter difficulties or trials.

“We should not live in fear or panic over the season we’re in because there’s a new season right around the corner, right around the corner,” she says. “The Bible says in several places, ‘It came to pass.’ And I believe that, I believe everything comes to pass because I’ve been through so many seasons in my life.”

Later in the clip, the woman stresses avoiding panicking or worrying when encountering challenging seasons. She also mentions how fear and panic are popular tools in the evil one’s arsenal against Christians.

“The devil uses fear to absolutely war against us, to torment us,” she said. “God is not a god of torment. So, y’all have a wonderful evening. Just rejoice in the fact that you’re still alive. You may be in a bad season right now, but you’re fixing to come out of it.”

1 Thessalonians 5:1 “But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you.”

Sometimes, the hardest choice is the right one. Whether you're navigating decisions as a parent, spouse, friend, or leader, there are moments when following God’s direction feels uncomfortable—or even countercultural. But Romans 12:2 reminds us: true transformation and clarity come when we renew our minds in God's truth, not in worldly trends. In today’s devotional and prayer, we explore the tension between conviction and conformity, and how leaning into God’s Word gives us the courage to walk forward in obedience—even when the path feels uncertain. 📖 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...” — Romans 12:2 Let this moment remind you that God's will is always good, pleasing, and perfect, even when it challenges you to step out in faith. Let’s Pray Together Lord God, You are the way, and Your way is perfect. Help me not to conform to the world but to be renewed daily in Your Word. Give me courage to follow through when I feel convicted, trusting that Your plan is good, pleasing, and perfect. Thank You for guiding me and walking with me as I take steps of faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 📖 Today’s Bible Reading Romans 12:2 (NIV) “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Conviction is an invitation from the Holy Spirit to trust God's way over popular opinion. Renewing your mind through Scripture clears away confusion and strengthens discernment. Faith isn't always easy—but it is always worth it. God equips us to take hard steps of obedience. God’s plan is always for your good, even if it challenges your comfort.

As the seasons of life change—graduations, career shifts, relationship transitions—it’s natural to look back. But sometimes, that backward glance turns into regret that weighs down the soul. In tonight’s prayer and devotional, we're reminded that God does not call us to live in shame, but to walk in freedom, healing, and forward-looking reflection. Scripture tells us in Romans 8:1, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Regret chains us to what we cannot change. But Jesus redeems even our worst missteps, offering not just forgiveness but transformation. Through Christ, our past doesn’t define us—our Savior does. Let this moment of reflection lead to growth, not shame. Lay down guilt. Pick up grace. God is not finished with your story. 📖 Tonight’s Scripture Romans 8:1 (NIV) “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” 🙏 Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, Thank You for walking with me through every season of life. Tonight, I lay down regret and shame at the foot of the cross, where Jesus paid for all my sins and failures. Teach me to reflect with honesty and hope, not condemnation. Restore what was lost, bring new life where I feel broken, and guide me by Your Spirit into seasons of growth and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🧠 Three Things to Meditate Upon Where regret lingers, God invites healing. What would it look like to surrender that pain to Him tonight? Shame is not your name. Replace lies with truth from Romans 8 and walk boldly in grace. Your mistakes do not define your future. Through Christ, every misstep can become part of your redemption story. 📝 This week, journal one past regret you've been carrying. Turn it into a prayer—ask God to bring wisdom and renewal from that moment. 📖 Read through Romans 8.

You are not just surviving — you are more than a conqueror through Christ. 🙌 Romans 8:37 says: “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Jesus said all you need is faith as small as a mustard seed — God does the rest. 🌱 Philippians 1:6 promises: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” Your victory isn’t fragile — it’s secure in Him. 👉 Subscribe for more encouragement: @InSpirationalenlightenment

The Greek word *nikao* means “to conquer, to overcome.” Through Christ, you’re already walking in victory. 📖 1 John 5:4 (KJV) – “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 📖 Romans 8:37 (KJV) – “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” 📖 John 16:33 (KJV) – “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” You’re not fighting for victory — you’re standing in the victory Jesus already won. ▶ Watch more Biblical Recovery & encouragement: https://www.youtube.com/@InSpirationalenlightment 📖 Read *In Christ*: The 12 Step Biblical Recovery Program on Amazon

Are you walking through grief, illness, anxiety, or relational pain? Life often weighs heavy—but God's joy can still rise within you. This evening prayer and devotional reflection draws from Nehemiah 8:10, reminding us that true strength doesn't come from avoiding hardship—it comes from embracing God's joy in the midst of it. In this video, you'll reflect on: How God’s joy differs from temporary happiness Why choosing joy in suffering is a spiritual act of faith What the Bible says about finding peace and strength through trials A prayer to help you release the weight of today and rest in God's joy James told us to “count it all joy” in trials. Peter described our salvation as a source of “inexpressible and glorious joy.” Tonight, we echo those truths—anchored in God’s Word and spoken in prayer. 📖 Scripture Reading: Nehemiah 8:10 “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” 🙏 Evening Prayer Father, Thank You for offering joy that doesn’t depend on my circumstances. Even when I’m tired, afraid, or overwhelmed, You are near. Help me to lean into the strength You provide, to trust You when things don’t make sense, and to choose joy—not as denial, but as dependence on Your Spirit. Tonight, I rest in Your presence, knowing that joy is still possible with You. Amen. 💭 Meditation Prompts for Reflection Think about a time you allowed someone you love to struggle for their growth. How does this image help you trust that God may be doing the same for you right now? When you feel like you're at the end of your rope, remember this truth: Christ is the knot that holds you secure.

At 19 years old, I walked away from my faith. For over 20 years, I battled alcoholism and lived a life far from God. At 43, I found the strength to get sober, but it wasn’t until I turned 48 that I truly found peace—I found God again. This is my testimony. A story of brokenness, redemption, and the undeniable grace of God. If you’ve ever felt lost, hopeless, or too far gone, I hope my journey shows you that it’s never too late to turn back to Him.

Fruitfulness, faith, and follow-through. From the depths of Jericho to the gates of Jerusalem, Jesus calls us to serve, believe, and endure.

Live for God, life is good! Right? Or is that just foolish thinking? Does God really care, or even more, is He really there? www.toughquestionsforgod.org #jesuslife #devotions #dailydevotion #faithoverfear

Students are encouraged to display their faith on National Bring Your Bible to School Day. For those who have put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, it's a day to bring God's Word with them as they head into the classroom. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn more about National Bring Your Bible to School Day.

The world is a cold, cruel and dark place. This is often especially true for those who rely upon and trust in Jesus Christ's guidance, direction and protection. Followers of Christ can be and typically are mocked and ridiculed in many areas of society, including on popular social media platforms and, sadly, even in the news, on television and in Hollywood movies.

But despite that, the Bible makes it perfectly clear that there is power in numbers. We are stronger when we are together, especially when it comes to standing up against the evil forces in this world. Jesus, in the New Testament book of Matthew, states, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am among them." That is the idea behind National Bring Your Bible to School Day.

Oct. 2nd, designated as Bring Your Bible to School Day, "is an annual celebration that empowers Christians to live out their faith." According to Focus on the Family, more than 70,000 schools and nearly 1.3 million people participated in 2024 National Bring Your Bible to School Day.

Matthew 28:19-20 "Go then, and make disciples of all nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to keep all the rules, which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world."

The reaction of two parents to their daughter’s pregnancy news will melt your heart. Be sure to grab the tissues before watching this clip because you will most definitely need them. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to see how a mother and a father reacted to learning about their daughter’s pregnancy news.

Being a parent is easily one of life’s biggest blessings. Many would argue, and I think rightfully so, that it is, in fact, the biggest. There is nothing like raising children and watching them grow, learn and explore. Seeing them take their first step or hear them say their first word are moments you’ll never forget and cherish for as long as you live.

However, as great as being a parent is, sadly, there are some people who want nothing more than to be a mother or a father, and it’s not possible. For one reason or another, having biological children is not in the cards for some couples, which can be incredibly painful and heartbreaking.

A clip posted on YouTube shows what happened after two people learned they were going to be grandparents. Watching these two open their gift and slowly realizing what the present symbolizes is everything.  Their honest and emotional reaction will likely bring even the most stoic and unemotional person to tears.

The text in the video mentions that the couple’s daughter had struggled with infertility for more than a decade, 13 years to be exact.

You can see how happy they are for their daughter and to be grandparents. It’s clear that they wanted their daughter to become a parent so badly, even when it appeared that it would not happen for her.

This is a beautiful moment that none of them will ever forget!

Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.”

He did not want to be recorded, but then the sweetest, most tear-jerking moment occurred. The young man made his desire not to be filmed completely clear to his mother, but what happened next will likely cause you to brush away tears from your eyes. Watch the short but sweet clip to see the young man’s initial response to the camera and how his mood quickly changes.

Technological advancements have impacted and touched every part of our lives. With a few clicks and swipes, we can order a meal or even a week’s worth of groceries. Social media platforms allow us to easily communicate with people on the other side of the country and the world. News apps provide us with the latest, most up-to-date information possible.

Oh, technology also allows us to capture and record our every waking moment if we want. For some reason, there are people who choose to do just that and post the footage on social media for all to see. What would some people do if they didn’t have social media to post their entire lives on for their digital friends?

In a clip posted on social media, a young man approaches a car and sees his mother filming him. He does not want to be on camera (I can completely understand), and his hands in front of his face make that entirely clear. However, his annoyance instantly subsides once he gets in the car and looks into the backseat.

The young man’s older brother, who has been away at college for the past couple of weeks, pops up to ask, “How was practice?”

The young man leaps into the backseat, into his brother’s arms. To make the moment even more precious, the younger brother begins crying, happy that his brother has returned home for a visit.

Hilariously, the video ends with the young man asking his older brother, “Want to play some Fortnite?”

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
