Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 3 May 2026 TOPIC: Leave It Alone
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
For we who have believed enter that rest.
Hebrews 4:3, ESV
TODAY’S WORD
Sometimes we feel guilty if we’re not doing everything to make something change, to make our finances or health improve, or to get our child back on course. But the Scripture says that those who have believed enter into rest. It’s okay to leave it alone. Give yourself permission to rest, to not worry about it, to not strive. You’ve done your part, now take your hands off. It’s not going to happen by your might to force it, by your power to control it, or by your intellect to manipulate it. It’s going to be the hand of God. He is saying, “Leave it alone. Trust Me to handle it. I’m going to bring the right person, turn your business around, change your child, restore your health.” When you turn it over to Him, it takes the pressure off. You can live in peace, knowing that God’s got this. He’s in control. When it comes time for things to change, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has for you. The question is, Will you trust Him while you’re waiting?
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for providing a place where I can rest in Your grace and strength to fight my battles. Thank You that I can stay in peace and know that You will make things happen that I never could. I believe that You are in control and that You’ll work it all out for good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
