Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 13 June 2026 TOPIC: Joyful Prayers
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
When you’re facing unfair situations and nothing is changing, it’s easy to turn what should be joyful prayers into complaining sessions. Rather than giving thanks to God for our circumstances, we air out all our worries and tell God everything that’s wrong and how bad life is. “God, I can’t take this pressure at work. You have to heal my son before he drives me crazy. This setback took all my savings. God, do something.” Yes, God is concerned about what concerns you, but complaining doesn’t get His attention. Take a different perspective and say, “God, all these things seem to be working against me, but thank You that You’re fighting my battles.
Thank You that You hold victory in store for the upright. Thank You that I have joy that no one can take from me.” That not only helps you to stay stronger, builds your faith, keeps you encouraged; that’s what allows the Most High God to go to work. When you’re always joyful, thanking God, talking about how great He is, you’re going to see His favor in amazing ways.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that I can be thankful in all circumstances today because You are bigger than any of my circumstances. Thank You that I can walk in Your will and be filled with joy. I declare that I believe You are fighting my battles and will bring me through to victory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
