Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 15th June 2025 (Sunday) Message
TOPIC: It’s All Up To Me
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 (ESV)
Have you ever tried to suggest to someone who is seriously stressed out that they learn how to delegate some of their responsibilities to other people? If so, have you ever heard them answer, “If I don’t do it, it won’t get done”?

I have heard those words, and I have also felt that way personally. It is fairly easy to keep picking up responsibilities as we go through life, but sometimes we have a false sense of responsibility, and the end result is stress that can cause many problems. A lack of joy is only one of a long list of stress-related struggles. If you are feeling controlled and overwhelmed by your schedule, remember that you are the one who makes it, and only you can change it.
Some people keep the “it’s all up to me” attitude because it makes them feel important and needed. But our sense of worth and value should never come from what we do; it comes from who we are in Christ.
Ask yourself if you need to let some things go so you can enjoy your life. It is true that depending on other people is often disappointing, because they don’t always do what you depend on them to do, but there are many wonderful, faithful people who can be trusted and won’t let you down. If your first attempts at delegation do not work, keep trying until you find something that works for you.
Prayer of the Day: I’m sorry, Father, for thinking that everything in my life is up to me. I see now that this mindset has caused stress and stolen my joy. Grant me the grace to let go and trust others to do some of the things I have been doing. In Jesus’ name, amen.
