TODAY’S WORD
Some people are controllers. They say they’re your friend, tell you how much they love you, but they use guilt to try to manipulate you into doing what they want. They let you know that if you don’t perform a certain way for them, you are disappointing them, hurting their feelings, not being loyal. They’re not interested in you; they’re interested in what you can do for them. But a true friend doesn’t try to pressure you or get upset when you say no.
The apostle Paul said he was free in every way from anyone’s control. That’s my prayer for you…that you’re not going to live controlled by people, manipulated into doing things out of guilt, but that you will live your life free. Now do your part and put some boundaries up. Quit acquiescing to everyone’s demands. Remember, if someone is controlling you, it’s not their fault; it’s yours. You have to take action. Don’t go the next twenty years weighed down in unhealthy relationships, toxic relationships, giving in to unrealistic demands. Break free of the control. Today can be a turning point.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You created me to live free from controllers, from anyone who uses guilt and manipulation to get their way. Help me to set up healthy boundaries and to take action when someone tries to use me. I commit myself to not acquiescing to others’ demands and to remaining free. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry. (Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 14 March 2026)
