Dimension: Joel Osteen
No201👍/2025

Today's Word

Today we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which marks July 4, 1776, as the day our Founding Fathers declared our freedom as a nation. What’s interesting is that it wasn’t until 1783 that our nation actually experienced freedom. There were battles raging, but the people were celebrating their decision to fight for freedom. They declared their freedom first, then they stood their ground until they had the victory to live as free men and women. There may be some opposing forces that you’re fighting today, things that you want to get free from—freedom from an addiction, an anxiety, a lack, a fear. No matter what battle you are facing, let this be the day you declare your freedom, because victory is on the way. You may have to stand and press through for a little while, but know that freedom is yours the day you declare it. Let freedom ring loudly in your life and embrace the victory He has in store for you, for he whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that it was for freedom that Christ set me free, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Thank You that I can take my stand on Christ’s finished work on the cross and press through on the freedoms I am battling for. I declare the victory through Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Open arms

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No202/2025

Today's Word

Your perception of God will have a great impact on whether or not you become all you were created to be. Notice in today’s Scripture that to receive His mercy and grace, you have to go boldly. You won’t go boldly if you think God is mad at you. You may have lost your temper, run with the wrong crowd, or ruined your marriage. Mercy is available, new beginnings are available, but it’s not going to happen if you stay down on yourself, feeling unworthy. Get rid of that defeated mentality. God is not holding your mistakes against you. When you come to Him, He won’t say, “I’m so disappointed. What’s wrong with you?” He will gladly welcome you.   If you only knew that God is standing before you right now with open arms. He made you in His own image, and you are His most valuable possession. He says, “See, I have tattooed your name on the palms of My hands.” He knows your thoughts before you think them. There’s nothing more important to God than you. Come boldly and receive His mercy.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I can come boldly before You, knowing that there is always mercy and grace to help me. Thank You that I don’t have to earn Your favor or be good enough to come into Your presence. I am coming to pray bold prayers and to receive new beginnings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Restoration

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No204/2025

Original Today's Word by JOEL (www.joelosteen.com):

You won’t be successful as long as you have a negative image of yourself. Like a magnet, the image you have of yourself will keep pulling you toward it. If you see yourself struggling, barely getting by, having a scarcity mentality, that’s what you’re moving toward. What would happen if you started seeing yourself as blessed, prosperous, talented, having a bountiful year? Then because you have the right image, because you’re in agreement with God, you’d be moving toward abundance, overflow, good breaks, a bountiful life. You’d put your shoulders back and carry yourself as the royalty God created you to be. God’s Word says that when we face adversities, “the Lord delivers us out of them all.” It says that when the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise up a barrier. If you see yourself as a victor and not a victim, then even in tough times you’ll stay confident, hopeful, expecting God’s favor, knowing that He didn’t bring you this far to leave you. He hasn’t failed you in the past, and He’s not going to start now.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I can start this day with a fresh new attitude because You dwell in me and have given me a new nature. Thank You that I can get in agreement with Your Word and believe what You say about me. I’m going to be my best and make the most of this day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word

On the day that David’s father told David to take a supply of food to his three brothers who were in the army and caught in a standoff with the Philistines, he thought he was just running an errand, no big deal. It seemed like it was just another ordinary day when, in fact, it was a destiny moment. In the sovereignty of God, David arrived just as Goliath came out and threatened the Israelite army. He was at the right place at the right time to become the champion of the Israelites and defeat Goliath. If he would have been three hours later, he wouldn’t have heard Goliath. If he had refused to deliver the food to brothers who didn’t appreciate him, he would have missed his destiny. God was ordering his steps, and He is ordering your steps. David’s purpose came tracking him down, and your purpose will come tracking you down. You think you’re just going to work, just taking care of the kids, when God turns it into your destiny moment and you defeat your giant.  

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that in the routine of my ordinary days You break in with these destiny moments that change everything. Thank You that You’re orchestrating what You’ve ordained for my life to be fulfilled. I believe that even now You’re lining up what I need. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Desires of fate

No206/2025
 

Original Today's Word by JOEL (www.joelosteen.com):

It’s one thing to have the desire to live for God and do what pleases Him. That’s great, but God doesn’t stop there. He says, “I’m going to give you the power to do it. I’m going to give you the favor, the courage, the skill, and the resources that you need.” You’re going to feel strength that you’ve never felt, ability that you’ve never had, favor like you’ve never seen. God doesn’t just give you the desire; He gives you the ability to accomplish what He puts in your heart. God has destiny desires lined up for you, things you want to accomplish that He drops in your heart. Others will think it’s too big, it doesn’t make sense. They’re intimidated. It’s because God didn’t put the desire in them. That desire is leading you down the best path—a path of abundance, a path of greater influence, a path of helping more people, making a bigger difference, seeing your gifts come out in greater ways. Get ready. That desire will be stronger than anything that tries to hold you back.  

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You are working in me and giving me desires to do Your will and the power to do it. Thank You that I have the strength to overcome and be disciplined to do the right thing. I believe that You are leading me down the best path for my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Resist the Urge

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No207/2025
 

Today's Word: Resist the Urge

After David killed Goliath, King Saul became so jealous of David’s popularity that he repeatedly tried to kill him. David could have fought back and killed Saul, but he recognized that Saul had been anointed as the king. David respected that he was under God’s authority, so he spent years in the wilderness being chased by Saul. More than once David could have easily killed Saul, but he spared his life. God could trust David with so much influence, honor, and resources because he kept passing the test. Even when he was under great pressure, he was kind and respectful to someone who wasn’t kind to him. When you treat people that way, you’re proving to God that you can handle more influence and responsibility. This is a major test. To go where God wants you to go, you have to be good to people who are not good to you. When you let God refine you and don’t let the offense get in but stay in peace, you’re going to see God’s favor and blessing in great ways.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You are refining my character and using the pressure of difficult relationships to make me stronger and grow me up. Thank You that You are fighting my battles and helping me to be respectful and kind. I am going to stay in peace and see Your favor. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

The Story You Believe

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No208/2025

Today's Word: The Story You Believe

When God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelite slaves go free, Moses made the excuse that he couldn’t do it because he stuttered. God said, “Moses, who made your mouth?” Do you think God would ask you to do something and then not give you the ability to do it? Do you think He would not give you everything you need to live a victorious life, to overcome obstacles, to excel and leave your mark? Moses had the wrong story. He was telling himself, “I’m unqualified. I have these limitations.” The story you believe is the story that’s going to come to pass. When you tell God you’re not talented and can’t do something significant, God responds, “Who made you? Who wrote your story? Who gave you your gifts? Who picked out your family? Who lined up your good breaks? Who planned out your days?” The Creator of the universe is your author. He’s written your story. You’re not doing life on your own. Go back to what He says about you.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for the gifts and the talents You put in me. Thank You that You made me and whatever You ask me to do You will make sure I have the ability to do it. I will be faithful to develop what You’ve given me and to know that You are with me in my story. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

EXPANSION!

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No209/2025 

Today's Word: Expansion

First Samuel 30 records the greatest defeat David had ever suffered. He and his six hundred men returned from a mission only to find their city burned, their wives and children kidnapped by Amalekite bandits, and all their possessions stolen. Then David’s men started blaming him and talked about stoning him. It wasn’t fair that the wrong thing happened when David was doing the right thing. But God doesn’t promise that life will always be fair. It’s what we do in these unfair times that determines whether we get stuck and let it sour the rest of our lives or whether we move forward and see God expand us. What made David a champion is that he shook off the defeated mind-set and went forward to recover all that had been taken plus spoils from the bandits. He understood the principle that you have to get up when you’ve been knocked down and not use it as an excuse to stop. On the other side of the excuse is expansion, a new level of our destiny. 

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that Your power to strengthen me in times of unfairness is greater than any force that comes against me. Thank You that I can put discouragement behind me and push forward in faith. I believe that expansion is coming—something greater, something better. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word: It’s Not What You Think

When Jesus came to the Earth, He went around doing good, healing people, showing mercy, but the religious leaders didn’t accept Him. Even though He had done no wrong, they falsely tried him, forced him to carry His own cross to be crucified. Hanging on the cross, He could have called angels to rescue Him, but He didn’t. He hung there for you and for me. The nails didn’t hold Him on the cross; love held Him on the cross. It was all a part of God’s plan to destroy the works of the enemy, the reason for which He came to Earth. Jesus went before us and crushed Satan’s head. He took away all His power. Now we can live a victorious life. Whatever you’re facing—trouble at work, a child who’s off course, mistakes you’ve made, guilt, condemnation—may be intimidating and seem harmful, but it’s not what you think. You can’t let fear or worry dominate. You just have to take steps forward and discover that Jesus has already gone before you and defeated those enemies.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that Jesus has destroyed the works of the devil, crushed his head, and broken his power. Thank You that no matter what the enemy sends against me, it’s not what it looks like.

You’re Not at a Disadvantage

Today's Word: You’re Not at a Disadvantage

When Moses sent twelve men to spy out the Promised Land, ten spies came back intimidated and afraid. They felt like grasshoppers because they didn’t understand that God will put you in situations where you’re the underdog. You don’t have the skill, the resources, the training, the connections. As the Israelites did, if you stay focused on what you don’t have, you’ll talk yourself out of what God has for you. The right approach is, “I may feel like a grasshopper, but I know that God being for me is greater than the world being against me.”  So what do you think about what you have? Are you discounting what God has given you? God has given you the talent, the courage, the skills, the looks, and the personality you need. Don’t go through life thinking you’re at a disadvantage, that you’re lacking. People may think you’re a grasshopper, but don’t underestimate yourself. Don’t talk yourself out of the greatness God put in you. You’ll be amazed at where you can go with your talent, your courage, your faith, and your determination.  

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You are always greater than any difficulty or adversity I will ever face. Thank You that You have given me everything I need to live out Your purpose for my life. I declare that I am not a grasshopper, but I am well able to go in and take the land. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word: Answer Not a Word

Jesus went around doing good, healing people, and feeding the hungry, yet people ridiculed Him, slandered Him, told lies about Him. The religious leaders said, “He’s from the devil. That’s how He can heal people.” Jesus couldn’t have been any more loving, kind, and generous, but certain people were determined to misunderstand Him, mischaracterize Him, and misjudge Him. What did Jesus do? Spend all His energy trying to straighten them out and prove to them who He was? No. He answered them not a word. He didn’t waste His time trying to convince people to be for Him who were never going to be for Him. You would think with all the negative talk, with all the rumors, slander, and lies, He would have missed His purpose. But people don’t control your destiny. They can defame, denounce, and mischaracterize you, but your reputation is in God’s hands. What they say cannot stop your purpose. Don’t make the mistake of engaging in battles you’re not supposed to engage in. Do as Jesus did and answer them not a word. Don’t pay any attention.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that Jesus didn’t worry about His reputation and how much and how often He was disrespected.

What’s playing in your mind? What are you giving access to? You can’t think negative and have a positive life. You can’t think sickness and get well. You can’t think lack and have abundance. The battle is taking place in your mind. Why are you letting destructive thoughts in? Why are you letting fear roam around? Why are you letting worry have free reign? Why are you allowing doubt to hold you back? You have complete control over what you let in. You can’t stop negative thoughts from coming and knocking on the door, but you don’t have to give them access. Be selective of what you allow in. Fill your mind with and meditate on these positive, hopeful, faith-filled thoughts today. “God is restoring health to me. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. My children will be mighty in the land. I’m a masterpiece. I’m one of a kind. I’m made in the image of God. I’m crowned with favor. I’m wearing a robe of righteousness.

Today's Word: Pruning

Sometimes God will remove things in our lives that we don’t understand. Perhaps He will remove a friendship, someone who’s pulling us down, causing us to compromise. We don’t like change. We were comfortable. Now we’re going to have to stretch and grow. Don’t fight the pruning of the branch. God knows what He’s doing. He’s not going to leave something on you that will keep you from your purpose. He’ll never ask you to do something and then not give you the ability to do it. If He’s asking you to walk away from an unhealthy relationship, you know a season is coming to an end for your good. If you resist it, you’re going to miss the greater things God has in store. Let Him remove what He knows is keeping you from the true you He created you to be. He’s not trying to take something from you; He’s trying to get something better to you. He wants to bring out the true you. The true you is more fruitful, more blessed, and more successful than you can imagine.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for knowing what’s best for my life and for tending over me as a gardener. Thank You for times of pruning when You cut back something in my life so I can bear more fruit. I believe that Your purpose is to bring something better into my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

In Daniel 3, when three Hebrew teenagers were thrown into the fiery furnace because they wouldn’t bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, not only did they survive without being harmed, but their enemies saw a fourth man, one “like the Son of God,” with them. What’s interesting is that the teenagers couldn’t see the fourth man. When you’re in the fire, in the adversity, you may not see what God is doing. You don’t think anything is changing or improving. But you can be sure the fourth man is in there with you. The beauty of our God is that He never lets you go in the fire alone.  Meanwhile, the king was stunned. He had the teenagers brought out and decreed that no one in the nation speak against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Sometimes God lets you go through the fire so other people will see the hand of God on your life. They’ll see that the cancer or the bad break or the betrayal couldn’t take you out. They’ll see God’s power displayed through you and be changed.

Original Today's Word by JOEL (www.joelosteen.com):

One definition of hope is “the happy anticipation of something good.” If you’re anticipating something good, for a dream to be fulfilled, it brings you joy and gives you passion. When you believe that God is arranging blessings in your favor, you’re going to be excited about life.
It will affect your attitudes, your relationships, and your productivity. But if you’re not anticipating anything good, if you think you’re stuck, that a problem is permanent, that you’ve reached your limits, that mind-set will drain your energy, stifle your creativity, and take your joy. You’ll just drag through the day as you endure life.  God created you to have something to look forward to. Faith is all about believing that God has good plans for you, that He’s taking you where you’ve never gone, and that the best days of your health, finances, and relationships are still in front of you. That’s not just being positive; that’s getting in agreement with God. That’s what allows Him to do amazing things and bring your dreams to fulfillment as a tree of life. 🌳

Do you need to take off a mask today? Do you need to quit pretending, hiding a weakness or sin that you need to deal with? In the Scriptures, the Pharisees were known for doing things for show, trying to create a religious image of who they wanted people to think they were, instead of just being who they were.  It’s easy to start living image-driven. “I want you to see me as someone greater, smarter, prettier, and more popular than others.” But the truth is that who God made you to be is the best you. You don’t need the image; just be you. You’re already made in the image of God, which is the best image possible. You don’t need to pretend. You don’t need to do things for show and play games. You have no reason to live to please people. Having their approval is overrated. It doesn’t move you toward your destiny. Be confident in who God made you to be. You’re going to live freer, happier, more fulfilled, and become all you were created to be.

Today's Word: A New Way of Seeing

After the Israelites were delivered from slavery and were in the wilderness, they had a large tent or tabernacle where they met for worship. Before the priests could go into the altar area, they had to cleanse their hands and feet in a large bronze basin of water that had been made from the mirrors their Egyptian captors had given the Israelite women when they left. Mirrors in that day were made out of highly polished bronze and were very valuable. But every time the women looked in those mirrors, they saw defeated slaves staring back at them, reminding them of how unfair it was, how inferior they were. God was saying, “Give me those mirrors. I’m melting down any image—the shame, the heartache, the guilt, the unworthiness—that does not reflect who I made you to be. The next time you see the mirrors, they’re going to be in a bowl for cleansing. I’m giving you a new way of seeing yourself—as righteous, holy, and blameless.” God is saying the same to you today. See yourself as He sees you.

Today's Word: The Secret to a Changed Life

Zacchaeus was the despised chief tax collector in the region, known for cheating people and called a notorious sinner. Yet when Jesus could have spent time with any of the local religious leaders, He chose Zacchaeus, which they found disgusting. Religion says, “He’s too bad. He’s scum. Stay away.” Sometimes religion portrays an image of God where you can’t measure up, and it uses guilt and your feelings of unworthiness to try to get you to live right. But God says, “I gladly welcome Zacchaeus. What he has done does not cancel out My mercy.”  When Zacchaeus came to understand that God loved him unconditionally, even when he had made mistakes, he decided to change his ways and salvation came to him. Sometimes we think that if we tell people all they’re doing wrong and make them feel guilty, they’ll change. But condemnation doesn’t make them do better. It is when they hear about a God who shows mercy when they deserve judgment that they’ll change. The Scripture says, “It’s the goodness of God that leads to repentance.”

Today's Word: Who Am I, Sovereign Lord?

David was looking back over his life, thinking, “How did I get to where I am today? I was a shepherd, and now I’m a king. I’m respected. I have a lasting dynasty.” He was saying, “It could only be one thing—the Sovereign God.” Five times in the next few verses he refers to God as sovereign. He says, “Sovereign Lord, You have promised good things to me.” Can I tell you that the Sovereign Lord has good things for you. It’s not based on how well you perform, who likes you, what family you come from, or what the economy does. There are blessings and breakthroughs that God has already written in your script. Instead of worrying, thinking that it’s never going to happen, trying to earn it, why don’t you do as David did and say, “Sovereign Lord, thank You for the good things You have in store for me. Thank You for choosing me before I could choose You. Thank you for not depending on my performance, my faith, or my circumstances, but blessing me because of Your goodness.”

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for being on Your throne, for reigning as sovereign over my health, my finances, my family, and my circumstances. Thank You that You are my provider, my healer, my way maker, my deliverer. I declare that I am where I am today because of Your sovereignty. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Take Your Promise Land

Today's Word: Take Your Promised Land

When God brought the Israelites out of slavery and took them to the Promised Land, He promised that all they had to do was go in and take the land. But the Israelites were too afraid of the people in the land and turned away. They spent forty years in the desert running from things that God promised they could conquer. The next generation of Israelites came back to the Promised Land, saw the same giants and fortified cities, but had a different attitude. They refused to spend their lives wandering in the desert. They declared to Joshua that they would do whatever he commanded, face the opposition, and take the same land their parents could have had. Don’t be like the Israelites and spend years of your life running from things God has already given you victory over. You may need to confront pride, confront a bad attitude, or confront compromise. When you face your fears, defeat bad habits, or forgive the wrongs and hurts others have caused, you will enter your promised land. The victory is already yours.🏅✌

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You are the Most High God and that no giant or stronghold is too great for You. Thank You that You are leading me into my promised land as I confront and face areas of my life that have held me back. Help me to be bold to take my promised land. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word: A Word of Encouragement

Everyone in your life is fighting a battle. They’re dealing with something. They may not show it, but there’s a load they’re carrying. Thoughts are telling them that it’s not going to work out. It is always good to pray for others, but today’s Scripture also says, “Say to the righteous that it’s going to work out. Everything’s going to be okay.” Just give a word of encouragement when they’re under a heavy load. Just let them know that you care, remind them that God is still on the throne. You don’t have to have all the answers to their problems. It’s easy to feel intimidated because sometimes the situation is so complicated. Different people may be involved from very different backgrounds, and you’re not sure what to tell them about what they are going through.
But you don’t have to solve the problem; that’s God’s job.
Your part is to just nourish their soul and say,
“I care about you. I’m standing with you.
You’re going to make it.”
Those kind words are what put people back on their feet.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for Your hand of blessing in my life. I ask You to work through me and help me to speak kind words, offer compliments, give encouragement, and lift up those around me. Help me to listen and to bring Your healing presence into others’ lives. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word: Delete the Old Story

In Mark 5, a lady had been sick for twelve years, spent all her money going to many doctors, but nothing helped. Her story was: “This sickness is permanent. There’s nothing else I can do.” But then she heard that Jesus was passing through her town. Despite how she felt, despite the circumstances and all she’d been told, she deleted her old story and started telling herself a new story. She said, “When I touch His garments, I’m going to be healed.”
Faith began to rise in her heart. She kept saying to herself, “Healing is coming.”
Pressing through the crowd, she touched His robe and was healed instantly. It’s easy to let defeated thoughts, “can’t do it” thoughts, “it’s never going to work out” thoughts, play in your mind.
You have to say, “No, I’m deleting this story. I will be the exception. I will get well. I will see my family restored. I will break this addiction. I will accomplish my dream.”
Give God something to work with. You can’t have an old story and see the new things He wants to do.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I have the power to delete the thoughts that keep me trapped in an old story of defeat. Thank You that my faith can open the way for You to do amazing things and write a new story. I am reaching out and touching You by faith today, knowing that victory will be mine.

Today's Word: No Power over You

Jesus defeated the prince of this world, but that doesn’t mean you won’t face difficulties. The enemy will come, but you can say, as Jesus did, “He has no power over me. He’s already been defeated.” We didn’t defeat him; Jesus did. But because we belong to Christ, His victory is our victory. Because He lives, we can live. Because He rendered the enemy powerless, we can walk in freedom.  To see this victory, you can’t have a defeated mind-set when you face fear and feel intimidated. The right attitude is to declare, “The enemy has no power over me.” He used to have power. He used to have the keys to death and hell, but Jesus took away those keys and gave them to us. Now we have authority. Now we can live in victory. When things come against you, instead of being under attack, you need to be on the attack. Never shrink back in fear or worry, knowing that every force that’s trying to stop you has been defeated. Move forward knowing that God always causes you to triumph.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for sending Your champion, Christ Jesus, who is far more powerful than the enemy. Thank You that the enemy has no power over me because He has no power over Jesus. I will walk in the liberty by which Christ has set me free. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

In Daniel 6, when Daniel was one of the three top administrators in King Darius’s kingdom, he was falsely accused and thrown into the lions’ den. Much to everyone’s surprise, God sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths, and Daniel went on to prosper at a new level in his faithful service to the kings. It’s interesting that when you face your biggest battles, the most unfair, unjust attacks, that’s a sign that you’re close to seeing your greatest victories, your biggest accomplishments, your most rewarding relationships. The enemy always fights you the hardest when he knows you’re close to a new level of your destiny. Don’t settle where you are, reliving the hurt, thinking about what didn’t work out, and saying, “God, where were You?” God never left you. He’s been right by your side. Your part is simply to move forward in faith, trusting that He’s working all things for your good. As with David, you’re going to see God show out in your life. He’s going to do something unusual, out of the ordinary, that catapults you to a new level.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You know everything that is going on in my life and all that is coming against me.

Today's Word: Put Off, Put On

When you gave your life to Christ and were born again, the Scripture says, “You became a new creation. The old has passed away.” However, that doesn’t mean that you’ll never have any more carnal desires or never want to be jealous, rude, or complain. No, the old man may have died, but sometimes he’ll resurrect. Your old nature will rise from the dead. Even though you’re a new creation, you have to put off the old. Every day that old man is trying to get back up and run your life. Peter was a faithful, strong, committed disciple who took up his sword when Jesus was arrested, but a few hours later he denied he knew Jesus. As with Peter, we all have these two people inside, the old man and the new man. That’s why we have to put off the old man, put off the pride, the bitterness, the compromise, the temper, and put on the new man. The more you put the old man off, the weaker and weaker he gets.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus and that the old has passed away. Thank You that I can put off anything of the old man today and start with a fresh new attitude. I’m going to be my best and make the most of this day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

When Nehemiah heard that the walls of Jerusalem, his home city, had been torn down and burned, and that the people who survived were in great danger, he wept. He was heartbroken.💔 For days he mourned.😔 He asked God to do something. Even though he was a thousand miles away from Jerusalem and had no means to do anything himself, God put a dream in his heart 💭 to go back home and rebuild those walls.👷 And amazingly, he did.👊 It’s significant that Nehemiah was weeping over what he wanted to make better. His heart was broken over the wrongs that he saw. This wasn’t about having a big position, being well known, acquiring more. His dream was tied to building the kingdom, helping people rise higher, seeing his family reach their potential. When your heart is to make a difference, when your motives are right, when you’re moved over people you want to help, moved over loved ones who are struggling, you will see God do miracles. God is looking for Nehemiahs, for people He can entrust with influence, with favor, with resources.🙏

Today's Word: Give Ear To

How many times is God speaking to us throughout the day but we’re not sensitive to it? Perhaps it’s just a whisper, “Slow down on the freeway. Be kinder to your spouse. Call your friend and give her some encouragement. Turn off the computer and get some more sleep. Take care of yourself.” Gentle whispers. They’re not loud. God is not going to force you to do it. It’s just an impression. The word “obey” in the original language means “give ear to.” To be obedient, you have to give your ear to what God is saying. You have to be a listener. Be sensitive to the whisper. What are you feeling in your spirit? It may not be words, just a knowing deep down of what you’re supposed to do. Other voices, thoughts, reasonings, and people’s opinions will be much louder, but you have to learn to give the whispers the most attention. When you let the still small voice be the voice you follow, you’ll make the best decisions.

When Jesus was on earth, everywhere He went people would come up and say, “Will You heal my child? Please come to my town. Teach us about Your kingdom. Show us a sign.” As the Son of God, He was anointed with power and went about doing good and healing, yet He knew His limits. He knew when He had to take time to get replenished, so He often withdrew to pray and be refreshed in His Father’s presence. We should know our limits as well. Are you burning out, wearing yourself down, taking time and energy from the main things you need to do? You make your own schedule. Don’t make commitments that you know are not wise for your health. You can’t just keep adding to your schedule without depleting yourself. You have to be selective about what you commit to and perhaps even eliminate some good things in order to stay healthy. It’s not about living selfishly; it’s all about living in balance. Are there some things you need to say no to?

“Father, thank You that Jesus constantly went about doing good and healing, yet He knew His limits.

Nehemiah was courageously leading the effort to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore safety to its inhabitants when two men, Sanballat and Tobiah, opposed him. They started stirring up trouble, spreading rumors about Nehemiah’s motives, making false accusations, and gathering other enemies to stop the work. But however much Nehemiah was tempted to straighten them out, he refused to be baited into conflict and kept working, completing the walls in record time. He put his reputation and purpose in God’s hands and focused on what he was called to do. It’s no different today. Anytime you step up to do the right thing, don’t be surprised if someone finds fault, questions your motives, and says things that are not true. If you were sitting around being mediocre, no one would care. The fact that people are trying to discredit you, trying to make you look bad, that’s a sign that you’re doing something right, you’re making a difference, you’re leaving your mark.
You keep doing the right thing, and God will take care of Sanballat and Tobiah.

The Heart of a King

David had a history of being underestimated. Of the eight sons of Jesse, David was the youngest, the smallest, considered the runt of the litter. When the prophet Samuel came to anoint one of his father’s sons as the next king of Israel, Jesse didn’t call him in from the shepherds’ fields. He considered David less than his brothers, not strong enough or experienced enough or good enough. Jesse’s oldest son, Eliab, was tall, strong, muscular, attractive, in the military. He looked like a king. Even Samuel thought he was a perfect choice. But God loves to choose the underdog, the least likely, the one others write off. David had the heart of a king, which made him God’s choice. Eliab would later belittle David and try to make him feel small in front of some other soldiers. David could have easily been talked out of what God put in his heart, but he refused to let others determine his value. You have to do as David did and let your heart be fully His. You’ll have the heart of a king.

You’ll wake up and think about all your problems and everything you’ve done wrong. Don’t start the day off negative. It goes on to say, “Keep it set.” That implies things are going to happen that will try to unset it—challenges, delays, rude people, doors that close. You can’t stop that from happening, but you can choose to not let it get inside and unset your mind. You could get down and disappointed, but your mind is set. “God, I trust You.

I wish I had my cousin’s good looks.” No, you’ve been made in the image of God. When you criticize yourself as less-than, you are criticizing God’s creation.

In 2 Kings 4, the creditors were coming to take a poor widow’s two sons as the payment for her bills. All she had of value was a small jar of oil. The prophet Elisha told her to ask her neighbors for empty jars. He specifically said, “Don’t ask for just a few.” When she poured her oil in them, it kept flowing until all the jars were full. She was able to sell the oil and had plenty of money to pay her debts. The principle is that God is going to fill all the containers you bring Him. It’s not a supply problem; it’s a capacity problem. Too often we let disappointments, delays, and things that haven’t worked out lower our expectations. We’re not stretching, not believing for great things. Are you putting limits on what God wants to do in your life? Are you focused on what you think can happen only in your ability? God has an unlimited supply for all your needs. Don’t base your containers on what you can do; base them on what God can do.

In Joshua 10, Joshua was winning a battle against five armies, but darkness was coming and the enemy would escape, so he prayed a bold prayer. He asked God to stop the sun in place. In the natural, there’s no possibility of this, but God created the solar system. He spoke the universe into existence. He can stop what He wants to stop and still cause it to work. The next verse simply says, “So the sun and the moon stood still until the Israelites defeated their enemies.” No big explanation for this amazing occurrence. God is not intimidated by bold prayers, and He’s not at a loss to figure out how to bring about His purpose. Stopping the sun was no big deal.  Are you praying bold prayers? Maybe not for the sun to stop, but how about for your child to do something awesome, for you to set a new standard for your family, for you to accomplish that dream that seems far out?

Today's Word: What You Run From

In Genesis 16, Hagar had first treated her mistress, Sarah, with contempt; then Sarah got so upset that she treated Hagar harshly and made her life miserable. Finally, Hagar had had enough and ran away, fleeing into the wilderness. The angel found her beside a spring of water and told her to return and submit to Sarah’s authority. It’s the principle that anything you run from, you’re going to have to go back and deal with eventually. I’m not talking about staying in an abusive relationship, but I am saying you can’t run and change jobs, change friends, change churches, or change spouses every time things get hard. You can’t pack up because you’re uncomfortable. God will give you the grace to be there. The angel went on to say, “If you go back and serve Sarah, God will give you more descendants than you can count.” When you do the right thing when it’s hard, there is a blessing that follows. God will show out in your life and take you to levels that you never dreamed.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for being the amazing God who can take my messes and the things I’ve run away from and turn them into miracles when I return and face them. Thank You that Your grace is always there to help me. I believe that You are working all things together for my good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

According to the Plan👍

Today's Word: According to the Plan

Saul was the biggest enemy of the early church, arresting people who were followers of Christ. He was like a terrorist until a sudden light from Heaven struck him to the ground on the road to Damascus and Jesus revealed Himself to him. That day was a turning point, and Saul eventually became the apostle Paul. If God based His will only on our decisions, Paul wouldn’t have had a chance. The beauty is that God has a sovereign will that overrides our choices and puts us into His purpose. It’s the goodness of God, stepping in and showing us mercy and love when we should have judgment. In Paul’s case, this sovereign act brought him into his destiny to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. When you understand that God is sovereign, that He’s not basing everything on your choices, your ability, or your background, you can stay in peace. Disappointments, losses, and bad breaks are all working according to the plan and purpose He decided long ago. You have to trust that He’s sovereign when you don’t understand. 

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for loving me and for never writing me off when I’ve been off course and failed. Thank You that You saw a chosen vessel in Saul when he was persecuting the church, and You’re going to use me as Your instrument as well. I believe You are bringing me into my destiny.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

A Vessel of Gold

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No264/2025

Today's Word: A Vessel of Gold

In today’s Scripture, the apostle Paul says that we can be and stay vessels of wood and clay. That’s fine. We’re still God’s creation. We can live with these impurities and still make it through life. But we shouldn’t be just trying to make it through life. We should be desiring to see the greatness God put in us, becoming a vessel of gold that is used for His highest purposes. That happens when we keep letting God refine us, when we keep dealing with what He brings to light.  You can’t pray away every problem, every grouchy person, the delays in your schedule, or the loved one who gets on your nerves. Those are tests. They may not change, but you can change.

A key to becoming God’s best is to stay pliable, to walk in humility, to be willing to change.
What can you do to get along better in relationships?
What improvements can you make?
Don’t pray for God to change someone else—your spouse, your boss, your child—without first praying,
“God, show me where I need to change.”

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for calling me to be the best person I can become and for the privilege of representing You as a vessel for Your highest purposes. Thank You that I can dedicate every area of my life to You and always be my best. Keep showing me the things I need to change.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Cover your heart

No265/2025 

Today's Word:

No matter how you feel every morning, no matter how many mistakes you made yesterday or how many weaknesses you’re dealing with now, you need to put on the breastplate of God’s approval. “God, thank You that You approve me, that You accept me, that You love me.” When you put on that approval, chains of insecurity, low self-esteem, condemnation, and guilt are broken. There’s a freedom when you know you’ve been approved by God. You are the apple of His eye. He created you in His own image. Don’t go through life feeling wrong inside. You’re not a finished product. God is still working on you. He doesn’t say, “I’ll approve you when you perform perfectly.” God approves you right where you are. He may not approve what you did, but that’s not who you are. He approves you. You don’t have to work to try to gain God’s approval. You already have it by His grace.  You have to shake off the disapproval and remind yourself, “I’ve been approved by the One who matters most. God is pleased with me.” 

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that I can put on the breastplate of Your approval to cover my heart because You have made me righteous through Christ Jesus.
Thank You that I can shake off the disapproval and feel good about who I am.
I believe that You are pleased with me today.

TONGUE TROUBLE

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No266/2025

Today's Word: Tongue Trouble

One thing that can keep us from our destiny is tongue trouble. If we go around saying negative things about ourself, our family, or our future, it will limit how high we can go. When you say, “I’ll never be successful. I’m not talented. I can’t break this addiction. I always get the flu. After what they did, I’ll never be happy again,” you’re giving those words the right to come to pass. You’re prophesying your future. You’re inviting that into your life. Before you say it, make sure you want it. Get your words going in the right direction. You can’t talk negative and have a positive life. You can’t talk defeat and lack and live victoriously and in abundance. Your words set the course for your life. If you want to know what you’re going to be like five years from now, listen to what you’re saying about yourself. You have to quit speaking defeat over your future and start prophesying victory over your life.

Start talking about the way you want to be. Speak health, speak vitality, and speak abundance.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that my words give life to my faith and I can use my words to prophesy my future. Thank You that I can use my words to invite healing, freedom, abundance, and strength into my life. I will say what You say about me and what You promise in Your Word. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word: Spoken Faith

Before you see the promises of God fulfilled in your life, there will always be tests. Before you go into your promised land, there will be giants and fortified cities, things that look impossible. One way your faith is released is through what you’re saying in times of testing. Your mind will tell you all the reasons it’s not going to happen, and the temptation is to start speaking negatively. That gives life to the doubts and limits what God will do. Don’t let that happen.  Speak what God says in His Word about you. Let your words of faith override the doubts. Speak faith when every thought is telling you, “It’s never going to work out. I don’t have what it takes.” You can talk about how bad it’s been, or you can say, “Father, thank You that You have beauty for these ashes. What was meant for harm, You’re turning to my advantage. I’m excited about my future.” That’s what causes God to go to work. That’s when you’ll defeat giants, beat the illness, and the right people will suddenly show up.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that my faith and trust are anchored to You and Your power at work in my life. Thank You that I don’t have to be moved by the tests and troubles I face because I am fully persuaded You will do what You promised.

Be Patient in Trouble

Dimension: Joel Osteen
No268/2025

Today's Word: Be Patient in Trouble

It’s no coincidence that the apostle Paul connected “be glad for all God is planning for you” with “be patient in trouble.” That’s because in trouble, in difficulties, and in delays, you’ll be tempted to get discouraged and think, “The medical report is too bad. I had this setback in my career. It’s never going to work out.” None of that is a surprise to God. You don’t know the solution God has already planned. You don’t know where He’s taking you. Be patient in trouble. Be prayerful in trouble. The trouble is not permanent. The trouble is not how your story ends. God wouldn’t allow the difficulty if He wasn’t going to bring you out better. The Scripture says, “God makes everything beautiful in its time.” Give God the time to work it out. Just because you don’t see anything happening doesn’t mean God is not working. Behind the scenes right now, He’s lining up everything that you need. His plans are bigger, better, and more rewarding than you could ever imagine.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for Your plans for my life and how You will work them out. Thank You that I can trust You in times of trouble and be patient, knowing that You will make it beautiful in its time. I believe that trouble is temporary and You’re going to bring me out better.

Freedom

Today's Word: Freedom

Abraham left his home at the call of God, with the promise of His great blessing. But in his journeys in Genesis 12 and 20, he lied to Pharaoh and later to King Abimelek that his beautiful wife, Sarah, was his sister, because he feared they would kill him so they could have her. When the truth came out, Abraham was shamed by them. In Genesis 26, many years later, Abraham’s son Isaac committed the same cowardly act with his wife, Rebekah. Notice how that same negative trait was being passed down.  It’s the same way today. It can be a spirit of low self-esteem. Everyone in your family feels unworthy, not good enough, inferior. Or maybe it’s a spirit of mediocrity. No one in your family thinks they can get ahead. Do yourself a favor and get rid of that spirit. You’re made in the image of God. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. Start expecting to rise higher. Start declaring God’s promises over your life. Break that negative cycle and set your family on a new course of freedom.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You have made me in Your image and that I am Your child. Thank You that Jesus has redeemed me and set me free from sin and guilt and negative traits that have been passed down to me. I declare that the forces for me are greater than the forces against me.

It’s easy to look at a person who is in need, or situations that require someone to step up and make a difference, and hope that someone shows up. You might even pray, “God, send a deliverer, someone strong, talented, with Your favor, with Your blessing.” But what if you are the one you’re praying for? What if you’re the one to do great things, to set a new standard, to take your family to a new level, but you don’t recognize who you are? When we’re always looking to others, always counting on someone else, it’s because we’re overlooking what God put in us. There is greatness in you. There is talent, wisdom, creativity, and potential in you. Don’t overlook yourself as the answer to that prayer. Don’t discount who you are.  You have so much more in you than you realize. Don’t get stuck in an old version🥴  of who you are. There are new versions🙂 of you coming that are stronger👊, wiser💭, more successful📈, and have greater favor📿.

Today's Word: Shouts of Praise

Today’s Scripture was spoken by the prophet Jonah while he was inside the huge fish that God sent to spare his life after he had disobeyed God’s command. You can imagine how it reeked almost unbearably inside the fish’s digestive system. For eight verses, Jonah had talked about how bad his life was, how he was in the depths of despair, how he didn’t see a way out. All that was true, but it didn’t change his situation. Then in the midst of the stink and difficulties, he suddenly offered up a sacrifice of praise and surrender. That’s what caused God to go to work and have the fish put Jonah back on dry ground to fulfill his destiny. You may be in a stinky situation today. You could describe what you’ve done wrong, how you aren’t treated right, or how you’re not getting well. But that creates an atmosphere of doubt, defeat, and negativity that keeps you where you are. Be a Jonah and send up a shout of praise. Send up faith. Send up hope. You’re about to see that negative situation turn around.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that when I make a mistake and bring trouble upon myself as Jonah did, You cover me with mercy and give me second chances.

Today's Word: A Servant’s Heart 💖

Jesus Christ modeled a servant attitude that overflowed with joy. He had all the power in the world. He was the most influential man who ever lived. Yet on the night before He was betrayed, tried, and crucified, He took a towel, bowed down, and washed His disciples’ feet. He could have asked any of the disciples and they would have done it. He could have called an angel and said, “Hey, do Me a favor. Wash their feet. I don’t want to deal with it today.” Instead, Jesus washed their feet one by one. He gave us His example of service to others so we would know we’re never too important to be good to people. We are never too successful or too high to bow down low and serve another person. Jesus said that if you want to be great in God’s kingdom, you have to have a servant’s heart. The more you walk in humility, and the more willing you are to serve others, the higher God can take you. As you lift others, God will lift you.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that Jesus was willing to come to Earth as a man and then to humble Himself even further by becoming obedient to the point of death. Help me to humble myself and have the same servant heart as Jesus. I want to walk in humility and lift others up. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Today's Word: A New Beginning

In John 5, the man who Jesus healed had been crippled for thirty-eight years. This man never dreamed he’d be able to walk, play ball with his children, dance with his wife, or take a stroll on the beach. That’s the mercy of our God. Notice that Jesus didn’t say, “I’m going to get you a better mat to lay on, lighter and more comfortable. I’m going to get more help and better caregivers.” Jesus came to give the man complete freedom from his problem so that he never needed that mat. Life is too short for you to have things lingering that are holding you back. Sometimes, we don’t realize how restricted we are. We’ve become so used to a dysfunction that it feels comfortable.
You have to stir yourself up. God’s idea of freedom is not to make you more comfortable in a dysfunction but to set you free. It’s to set you on a whole new path of health, peace, joy, and blessing. God is doing a new thing. You’re about to rise, take up your bed, and walk in freedom.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that with Your calling upon my life comes the power to release any old thinking, old habits, discouragement, and dysfunction that would keep me stuck. I’m dropping the excuses that hold me back and taking steps of faith for a new beginning today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Today's Word: See the Best

If you can’t see anything in a positive light, if all you see is what your spouse or your child or your boss does wrong, the problem is not with everyone or everything else. At some point you have to look in the mirror and say, “Maybe I’m the one who needs to change. If I’m always critical, maybe I’ve developed a habit of seeing the bad rather than the good. If I’m always skeptical, maybe I’ve trained myself to be cynical and sarcastic rather than believing the best. If I’m always finding fault, maybe I’ve become judgmental and condemning instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt.” What’s the solution? When the temptation comes to be critical, deal with negative thoughts one at a time. If you see something or someone you don’t understand or you don’t agree with, don’t be quick to judge or allow that critical spirit to come out. Instead of seeing them through critical eyes, look at them through God’s eyes. Start praying for them. Train yourself to see and believe the best about them.

When God told Moses to go and tell Pharaoh to free God’s people from slavery, Moses said, “I can’t do that. I’m not a good speaker.” God’s response was a question: “Moses, who made your tongue?” He was saying, “I’ve already put in you exactly what you need.

It’s interesting that in today’s Scripture, the apostle Paul didn’t pray that God would remove every difficulty from the Colossians or deliver them instantly. He prayed that they’d have the strength to go through the tough times with a good attitude. He knew that when we’re being stretched, God is developing our character. If we keep the right attitude, if we remain at peace and rest, we will come out better than we were before. You may be facing some battles today that have you feeling you’re not going to make it. Pray for the strength to go through it with a good attitude. The Scripture says that you have the power of the Most High God inside you to withstand whatever comes your way. You are more than a conqueror, a victor and not a victim. You have to turn the situation over to God and let it go. Don’t let it dominate your thoughts or words.

Today's Word: Approval Addiction

After the religious leaders in Jerusalem criticized Jesus for healing a man on the Sabbath, He told them that their disapproval meant nothing to Him. He wasn’t dependent on who liked or supported Him. He received His approval from His Heavenly Father. We all want to be liked, but too many people let the opinion of others determine what they do and who they are. They run everything through a filter: “How’s this going to make me look? Will others be impressed and applaud, or will they look down on me?” They don’t realize they’re addicted to approval. They have to keep pleasing others in order to feel good about themselves. But some people will never give you their approval no matter what you do. Sometimes people are for you, and sometimes they’re not. Your destiny is not predicated on their approval of you. God laid out your plan. He called you, equipped you, and gave you favor. When you’re secure in who He made you to be, you know you’re valuable, talented, attractive, and a masterpiece. You don’t need anyone else’s validation.

One of the beauties of our God is that He feels what we feel. When Jesus saw Mary and Martha weeping over the death of their brother, Lazarus, “Jesus wept.” He was “deeply moved in spirit and troubled” by their tears. He could feel their heartbreak, their sorrow. There are times when life throws us such a blow that all we can do is weep. What’s interesting is that Jesus already knew He was going to raise Lazarus, yet He entered into their sorrow and began to weep with them. Know this: When you weep, God weeps. When you’re heartbroken, God feels it. When you don’t think you can go on, when you feel overwhelmed, God is right there with you. The Scripture says, “He is close to the brokenhearted.”  God used sorrow to prepare Mary and Martha for something amazing—a resurrection. Tears of sorrow gave way to tears of joy, laughter, and celebration. When you’re in a season of struggle and weeping, keep this promise in your spirit: “I know joy is coming. God is about to amaze me.”

“Father, thank You that I never have to wonder about Your unconditional love for me even in the most difficult times. Thank You that You feel what I feel, You weep when I weep, and You are always for me.
