TODAY’S WORD
Are you living frustrated because your prayers aren’t being answered the way you want? Your plans aren’t working out? Take the pressure off. God is in control. He’s still on the throne. You’re not always going to understand it. If you did, it wouldn’t take any faith. You could save yourself a lot of frustration if you’d learn to have unconditional trust. The closed doors, the disappointments, the delays—it’s all working for you. And yes, it’s good to be determined. Be persistent. But let God answer your prayers His way. If He’s not changing it, not removing it, not opening it, don’t fight it.
Learn to embrace where you are. He’s given you the grace not just to be there but to be there with a good attitude. If you’re going to pass the test, keep a smile on your face. Keep a song in your heart. Keep passion in your spirit. Don’t drag through the day the Lord has made. He’s working out His plan for your life. He’s going to get you to where you’re supposed to be.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the privilege of coming to You, the Creator of the universe, and being able to ask You for the things that are on my heart. Thank You that You hear me and are faithful to bring Your will to pass. I believe and declare that the answer is on the way. 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 17th November 2025)
