Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 19th May 2026 (Tuesday) Message
TOPIC: How to Find God’s Will for Your Life
A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], but the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
— Proverbs 16:9 (AMP)
People often ask me how they can determine God’s will for their lives. Many people spend years waiting to hear a voice or to receive a supernatural sign giving them direction. But receiving direction from God is usually more practical than that. So my advice is: Step out and find out.
Early in my Christian life, I wanted to serve God but didn’t know exactly what to do. When different opportunities would arise, I would try those things that were available. A lot of them didn’t work out for me, but I kept trying until I found an area that fit me. I came alive inside when I had an opportunity to teach the Word of God, and I knew that was what I was supposed to do.
Sometimes the only way to discover the will of God is to practice “stepping out and finding out.” If you have prayed about a situation and don’t seem to know what you should do, take a step of faith. Even if that is not God’s ultimate destination, it will be another step toward the fulfillment of His will for your life.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me trust You and step out in faith. Guide my decisions, even when I’m unsure, and lead me step by step into Your perfect will for my life, amen.
