Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 26th August 2025 (Monday) Message
TOPIC: The Strength in Asking for Help
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
— Isaiah 1:19 (AMPC)
God surely knew that we would all need help in life because He sent us His Holy Spirit Who is referred to as the Helper. One of the best prayers we can pray is: “Lord, I need help!” Asking is the first rule to receiving, so don’t be too prideful to ask for help.
Isaiah said that all people grow weary at times. No matter what our age is or how naturally strong we are, we all have limits and that is okay. It is okay if you cannot do it all. In fact, you can’t do it all. Isaiah’s instruction was to wait upon the Lord and be refreshed and renewed (Isaiah 40:28–31).
Isaiah knew what many other people in the Bible also knew—David, Ruth, Gideon, Mary, Peter, and Paul (to name a few). He knew that asking for help is a sign of wisdom, not of weakness. Not only is it okay to ask for help, but it is also essential that we do so on a regular basis.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, I admit I can’t do it all. I humbly ask for Your help today—fill me with strength through Your Spirit and renew me as I wait on You, amen.
