Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 14 March 2026 (Saturday) Message
TOPIC: Talk to God about Himself
O Lord, God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven? And do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? In Your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand.
— 2 Chronicles 20:6 (AMPC)
When King Jehoshaphat had a problem, He went to the Lord. But he didn’t go to the Lord and just talk about his problem; he went to the Lord and talked about who He is. Instead of simply talking to God about our problems, we also need to talk to Him about Himself. We need to talk to Him about how wonderful He is, how good He has been to us, what He has done in the past, and what we know He is able to do because of His greatness. After we have praised and worshipped Him in this way, then we can talk about the problem.

I can think of a few people who only call me when they have problems, and that hurts me because I feel they are not interested in me, but only in what I can do for them. I am sure you have experienced this and felt the same way. These people may call themselves my friends, but in reality they are not. Certainly, friends are for times of trouble, but those are not the only times they are for. Friends are for good times, too. We need to spend time not only talking to our friends about our problems, but also encouraging them, showing appreciation to them, and supporting them with words and actions.
When you spend time with God today, be sure to talk to Him about Himself and all the good He does for you before you mention your problems. Abraham was a friend of God. I want to be God’s friend also, and I believe you do too. God is not simply our problem-solver; He’s our everything.
Prayer of the Day: God, today I choose to honor You for who You are before bringing my needs. Thank You for Your goodness, faithfulness, and power at work in my life, amen.
