Mother Love Inspires Career Change After Son's Heart Condition

A mother's love inspires a major career change after her son was born with a heart condition, and it is so inspiring. She decided that she wanted to help others after she saw how doctors and nurses cared for him. Watch the video to hear her incredible story.


Calley Burnett and her son Spencer’s story is so heart-touching. Spencer was born with a congenital heart defect, and it was a scary first couple of years as a parent. 


“I didn't have the medical backgrounds that I have now,” Calley said. “So I honestly had no idea the severity of it until one of the cardiologists came into the room that night, and he literally drew the anatomy of a heart and what Spencer’s was doing, and that's when I knew that we were in a pretty serious situation with him.”


When he was just one week old, he had a closed-heart surgery. He had to stay at the hospital for another 6 weeks before his parents could take him home. A year later, he would have major open-heart surgery. The nurses always made an impact on Calley, and the experience made her want to be like them.


A Mother's Difficult Journey Reveals God's Greater Purpose


So she decided to pursue nursing. She studied it for over two years and says it was well worth the wait. Now, she is a nurse at the same hospital where Spencer was born. 


“Nursing school is tough, and it's tough trying to get your degree as a mom,” she said. “It was a lot of tears, a lot of happiness.” But, “I just think that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.”


She believes that she went through everything she did with Spencer because she was meant to be a nurse, and God now has her right where he wants her. 


It’s a joy that God has led her to this path!

Judge Frank Caprio's Powerful Insights: How to Make a Lasting Impact on Someone's Life

Infamous Rhode Island judge Frank Caprio had some powerful insights on how to make a lasting impact on someone's life. He was known all over the US as the kindest judge around, and this is why. 


He said in a YouTube video, “People think you have to do something dramatic, you know, like make a big gesture. But you can give someone $1 million, and you may not change them. But if you put your hand on their shoulder and tell them that you believe in them, you may change their life.”


Frank will never forget the cold day when he was a little boy of 10, and his father told him how to be kind. His own father put his hand on his shoulder and told him that he talks very well and that he would be a lawyer who wouldn’t charge poor people.


“And we never did in this law office,” Caprio said.


Sadly, Caprio died in 2025 from a battle with pancreatic cancer. But his legacy lives on through his legendary acts of kindness and videos like this one. 


A Father's Kindness Inspires a Lifetime of Compassion


It’s wonderful that his father had so much confidence in him and set a great example for him. He had a huge influence in helping so many people through Frank. 


A son of Italian immigrants, Frank was always hard-working. One of his first jobs as a boy growing up in the 40s was shining shoes. Then, it was delivering newspapers and working on a milk truck. 


In addition to being known as the “nicest judge in the world,” he was also a charitable philanthropist. He created scholarships at Providence College and Central High School in Rhode Island and Suffolk University in Boston. 


It’s always great to hear his wisdom. He is so missed in his community and all over the world.

Dad's Jaw-Dropping Birthday Cake Creation for Daughter Goes Viral

It is always amazing to see external displays of love for children. Watch as this father pours out his love for his daughter’s birthday. Check out this dad's jaw-dropping birthday cake creation for his daughter, which has gone viral.


At the start of this clip, you see a father in a kitchen with a doll, funfetti cake mix, and a shirt that says, “Girl Dad” on it. He has a caption that reads, “POV (Point of View): You’re a dad, and the bakery said they couldn’t make the cake your daughter wanted…” You see him mixing batter and pouring it into four different pans. He pulls the finished cakes out of the oven and begins to make cute circles in the middle of each one. He then stacks them on top of one another. 


A Father's Creativity Becomes an Unforgettable Gift of Love


The Father takes the doll and uses painter's tape around her to keep her arms up how he would like them to go. He begins to lather on thick store-bought icing around the cake. He gets out his cake spatula and smooths out the edges. He begins to make beautiful pink curves on the dress with red flowers and sprinkles. Your breath will be taken away when he removes the painter's tape, only to unveil that the doll has a tutu, and it comes out perfectly over the dress of the cake. 


He has taken his love for his daughter and his own creativity to make his daughter’s birthday memorable. Watching this video will inspire creativity in our own situations when things do not work out as we anticipate. May we always remember the great love that God the Father has for us. This father’s earthly loves cannot even compare to the love of our Father in Heaven.


“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13

A Prayer for Courage to Share What God Has Done

Could your story of God’s faithfulness become someone else’s encouragement?

Psalm 40:3 describes God putting a new song of praise in our mouths so that others may see, hear, and place their trust in Him.

In today’s Your Daily Prayer, Cally Logan reflects on personal testimonies as precious “pearls”—stories of provision, redemption, healing, and faithfulness that may one day help someone walking through a similar season.

Your testimony doesn’t have to be dramatic to matter. Sometimes simply saying, “Here’s how God met me,” can give another person hope.

When Healing Hasn't Come, Pray This Tonight

What do you pray when you've asked God for healing but your body—or the body of someone you love—is still hurting?

In this Your Nightly Prayer, Rachel Wojo reflects on Jeremiah 17:14 and the difficult reality of long-term illness and caregiving. Prayer for healing is not a bargaining tool or a guarantee that healing will happen according to our timing. It is an act of trust in the God who created our bodies and continues to care about our suffering.

If you're tired of managing symptoms, appointments, medications, or the needs of someone you love, bring that weariness to God tonight.

The Healer still heals. The Savior still saves.

A Prayer to Remember God Is in the Great Outdoors | Your Daily Prayer

Can Christians worship God outside a church building?

Absolutely. Scripture teaches that God is not confined to a structure, and many people find that time in nature helps them slow down, pray, worship, and notice the beauty of creation.

In today’s Your Daily Prayer, Lia Girard reflects on Jesus’ outdoor ministry, Acts 17:24, and the ways creation can stir awe for the Creator.

This devotional is not about replacing Christian community or gathered worship. It is about remembering that God can be worshiped anywhere—on a trail, beside the water, under a tree, in a sanctuary, or in the middle of ordinary life.

A Prayer for Quiet Trust in God | Your Daily Prayer

Does God's silence ever make you wonder whether He's listening?

Isaiah 18:4 gives us an unusual picture of God remaining quiet while still watching. In today's Your Daily Prayer, Whitney Hopler reflects on how Christians can continue trusting God's character when answers aren't immediate and His work isn't obvious.

God's quietness should not automatically be mistaken for His absence. Pray today for a faith that continues trusting Him even when you don't understand what He's doing.

Praying Through Psalm 20: Our Secret Weapon To Defeat the Enemy

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠https://prayingchristianwomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!


What happens when we stop praying small, safe prayers and start stepping into our true authority in spiritual warfare?


In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Jaime leads us through the short but incredibly powerful Psalm 20. While it reads as a beautiful prayer for deliverance, Jaime highlights that it’s actually a bold declaration of the victory that is already ours. She reminds us that we don't have to fight for our spiritual territory; because of Jesus, we are simply claiming the ground He has already won!


Jaime also unpacks a fascinating historical detail about the "Helmet of Salvation" from Ephesians 6. Did you know ancient Roman helmets featured a feathered crest or plume (called a Crista) used both to declare their identity and to intimidate their enemies? She explains how our salvation acts as a spiritual plume—declaring our absolute identity in Christ and terrifying the forces of darkness before the battle even begins.


Whether you are feeling powerless against a specific struggle, tempted to boast in your own human strength, or simply need a reminder to pray boldly for the people you love, we hope this episode encourages you to put on your helmet, silence the enemy's lies, and boast in the name of the Lord!

A Prayer to Recommit Your Marriage | Your Daily Prayer

What would change in your marriage if you chose humility before blame?

In today's Your Daily Prayer, Laura Bailey shares advice from her grandmother that stayed with her: recommit to your marriage every day.

Reflecting on Romans 12:3 and the humility of Christ, this devotional encourages married couples to assume the best, serve one another, communicate honestly, seek forgiveness, and choose love in ordinary moments.

This isn't about ignoring serious harm or pretending every marriage problem is small. It's about asking God to shape the way we love, speak, serve, and respond within a healthy marriage.

A Prayer for When You Need God to Guard Your Words

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