Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13 July 2026 TOPIC:Give Yourself Some Grace
Before Jeremiah was formed in his mother’s womb, long before he overcame a weakness and became a great prophet, God said, “I approved you.” We think once we perform better, we can approve ourselves. We think that when we get rid of our flaws, overcome a bad habit, and are more patient, we can feel good about who we are. But God already approves you, so why don’t you approve yourself? He’s not withholding His acceptance until you do better. He knew every shortcoming, every weakness you would ever have, yet He says, “I approve you.” It’s because He formed you. He knows your flaws aren’t going to keep you from your purpose. The only way they’ll limit you is if you live down on yourself, feeling wrong, trying to change things that only God can change.
Do your best and then rest. He’ll work out the things that shouldn’t be there. Don’t be down on yourself if it’s not happening as fast as you would like. Give yourself permission to have some weaknesses. Give yourself the grace to not perform perfectly all the time.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You approved me before I was formed in my mother’s womb, long before I made my first mistake. Thank You that You chose me and love me despite my weaknesses and shortcomings. I declare that I am going to approve myself, do my best, and live at rest. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
