In Genesis 40, Joseph finds himself forgotten in a prison cell — but not forgotten by God. When Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker have troubling dreams, Joseph interprets them with remarkable accuracy, giving all glory to God.

Catherine O’Hara revealed the role she hopes she's best remembered for, and it’s heartwarming. The legendary actress unexpectedly passed away at the age of 71. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to hear Catherine mention the role that obviously meant the most to her, and make sure you have the box of tissues nearby.

Death is something that we will all experience at some time. No one will be able to avoid it, regardless of fame, fortune or any other characteristic or distinguishing factor. To make matters even worse, no one knows how much time they have left on Earth. It could be 40, 50 years or 40, 50 minutes. We have no way of knowing.

That’s why it’s essential to make the time that we have been given count. Sure, we all have goals, and we want to accomplish things in life, but at the end of our lives, will that even matter? How many people do you know at the end of their lives, on their deathbeds, wish they had spent more time at work? Everyone will wish they had spent more time with their family and friends.

In a clip posted on social media, someone caught up with Catherine at the airport. The man behind the camera asked the “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” star what role she hoped she would be most remembered for, and her sweet, heartwarming answer will likely bring a tear to your eye.

“When all is said and done, which one role would you most like to be remembered for?” the gentleman asks her.

“Mother of my children,” the late actress responded.

At the end of the day, isn’t that what matters most? Family is everything, and we are all only given so much time with family members, so we must make the most of it.

James 4:14 “When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.”

In Genesis 39, Joseph’s faithfulness and integrity are tested in the fires of injustice. Betrayed by his brothers and enslaved in Egypt, Joseph continues to trust God and serve faithfully—even when falsely accused and thrown into prison. Yet through it all, “the Lord was with him.”

In Genesis 38, the story of Judah and Tamar reveals the depth of human failure—and the even greater depth of God’s grace. Judah’s choices lead to moral failure and shame, but God steps into the mess to bring redemption. Out of this broken story comes the lineage of the Messiah Himself.

Doubting God will provide? Here are encouraging scriptures.

In Genesis 37:1–38, Joseph receives a life-changing dream that reveals God’s plan for his future. But instead of an immediate path to fulfillment, Joseph faces betrayal, slavery, and separation from his family. Yet through every hardship, God’s sovereign hand is at work, shaping Joseph’s character and preparing him to save many lives.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! What if the "wicked" standing trial in God’s courtroom aren't the godless, but the religious? What if the prosecution’s case is built not on your sins of ignorance, but on your acts of hypocrisy? In this devotional on Psalm 50, we enter a divine lawsuit where God acts as the Judge, Witness, then Prosecutor. We move beyond the text to uncover the Hebrew context of the "wicked"—covenant members who recite God's statutes while secretly harboring deceit. We explore why God rejects the "cattle on a thousand hills" to demand something far more costly: a "sacrifice of thanksgiving." Jaime also shares a candid personal reflection on the specific accusation of slandering "your own mother's son," connecting it to the heartbreaking political and spiritual fractures we see in the world today. She challenges us to examine our own role in that division—whether we are building unity or "letting our mouths loose in evil." Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of tender hope. If you’ve been disheartened by discord among believers or caught in the trap of performative faith, this episode offers a path toward true integrity. Come ready to be examined by the Judge who desires your heart, not just your habits.

In Genesis 35:6–36:43, Jacob’s journey back to Bethel is a powerful story of repentance, recommitment, and God’s unchanging faithfulness. Despite past failures and family tragedy, Jacob responds to God’s call to return, purges his household of foreign gods, and receives a new name—Israel. Even in the bittersweet birth of Benjamin and the death of Rachel, God’s covenant promises remain steadfast.

In Genesis 34–35, we see Jacob’s family face the painful consequences of sin and revenge. After the tragedy of Dinah, Jacob’s sons act in anger, unleashing destruction. But even in the aftermath of violence and chaos, God calls Jacob to return to Bethel—to repent, to remember, and to renew his commitment to the Lord.

Amy Grant shared how we all have the power to shape the world. The singer-songwriter explained that everyone, despite what they might think, is in a position of influence. Watch the short but powerful clip to listen to the musician explain how we can all do something to shape and influence the direction of the world we live in.

The world is a lost and fallen place. Ever since Eve took that bite of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, sin has wreaked havoc, destroying and ruining everything it encounters. Today, we are still paying the price for Adam and Eve’s willful disobedience all these years later. All the pain, hurt and heartache we experience are a result of what they did, unleashing sin into the world.

This place will never be perfect, and sin will always be present. That is a sad fact. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t make things better for ourselves and those around us. We can treat one another better, without being needlessly cruel or hateful, as we so often see on popular social media platforms and on the news.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Amy states that each of us has tremendous power to shape the state of the world. Of course, many people will say this is not the case at all, believing that whatever they do will go unnoticed and not amount to much, but they would be wrong.

“We’re all operating in the world that we know, that’s right around us,” she said. “And so many times, when we are trying to understand the picture, I think we neglect the power that we have in what we choose in the environment right around us. And so, all of us are making the world what it is, one day at a time; how we welcome ourselves to it; how we welcome each other.”

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.”

This is about a funeral for a friend.

A Divine Wrestling Match: Genesis 32-33:20 In Genesis 33, Jacob’s encounter with Esau reveals the transforming power of God’s grace. The deceiver who once relied on manipulation now walks in humility, forgiveness, and peace.
