JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL 28 APRIL 2024 MESSAGE
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 28 April 2024 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Sunday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Be Honest with Yourself
Today’s Scripture
Psalm 119:29, NLT – Keep me from lying to myself; give me the privilege of knowing your instructions.
Today’s Word
One of the most powerful prayers we can ever pray is, “God, help me to be honest with myself. Help me to look inside and see where my soul is not healthy. Help me to see where I need to change, where I need to forgive, where I need to be more kind and understanding. Help me to see where I need to quit letting people take my joy, where I need to get over what happened three years ago, where I need to quit beating myself up for mistakes I’ve made. Help me to see myself as valuable, as attractive, as a masterpiece.”
My prayer is, “God, don’t let us go through life lying to ourselves.” It’s one thing to be dishonest with others, which is certainly not good, but don’t lie to yourself. Don’t sweep things under the rug, make excuses for why you’re angry, bitter, jealous, and hard to get along with. There’s no fault in being there today, but there is a fault in staying there. It may be your explanation, but don’t let it be your excuse.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You desire my soul to be healthy and You call me to be honest about where I’m really at. Thank You that You love me as I am and I don’t have to hide or make excuses. Search my heart, show me where I need to change, and make me more like You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
