A Message From Joel Osteen

So, I’m sitting here going through my email and come across today’s inspiration message from Joel Osteen.  I know that this message was meant for me and what I a going through right now in my job search.  My heart is crying, but my head keeps reminding me that God is in control, He has something for me, His desire is to bless me and in His time it will all come to pass.

Without Wavering

Today’s Scripture

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23 NKJ).

Today’s Word from Joel and Victoria

God knew there would be times when we would be tempted to waver in our confession of hope. Maybe you are believing for something and you’re starting to think, “Is this really for me? Will this really ever happen?” If that’s you today, remember, He who promised is faithful! And His faithfulness doesn’t depend on your ability to figure it all out. His faithfulness doesn’t depend on the plans we can make or the scenarios we can come up with; He’s faithfulness depends on His Word which never changes! Declare His Word and hold on to your confession of hope today. Be confident that God can make a way when there seems to be no way. Even when your mind may waver, don’t allow your confession to waver. Declare that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Declare that He Who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. Remember, there is power in your words and power when your words are in agreement with His Word. As you hold on to your confession of hope, you’ll see His faithfulness, and you’ll move forward into victory in every area of your life. 

A Prayer for Today

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness. I choose to guard my confession, and I will declare hope in Your Word. I trust that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf and thank You for victory in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. 

( I am always more than happy to pray for anyone that reaches out to me via email, or leaving a comment on my site, and you can also click HERE to ask Joel Osteen and his prayer team pray for your needs as well.)

    I can not find you on television in my area. I have been receiving your podcasts for over a year but haven’t received on in the past few weeks. Also, I have requested your daily devotionals to be emailed to my email address but have never received one. I do hope someone can help me. I miss my podcasts.

      Hello Lindiwe,
      While this is not Joel Osteen’s website but my own personal blog, I will be happy to pray for you. I too know the hardships of financial stress and being out of work. I highly recommend you visit http://www.joelosteen.com and post your prayer request and sign up for their daily devotional to be sent to your email inbox. I know I am always encouraged and lifted up when I watch Joel Osteen and on tv and get the daily messages in my inbox. Know that God is in control and His perfect peace conquers and casts out all fear.
      Take care and God bless you,
      Briggie

    Joel,
    Greetings. I get your daily messages, which are truly inspiring. Daily on the way to school I read your messages to my children. God is good. I trust him and his wisdom. I felt compelled to write this prayer request to you. I work for a Christian Children’s home / fostercare agency. My wife is disabled due to Rheumatoid pain, we took over my father-in-law’s home and expenses as his healh has diminished greatly, we have 6 children the 2 youngest are developmentaly delayed as they are 18 and 26, last year due to a series of extreme medical bills from heath etc we had to file bancruptcy. God know that has blessed us greatly as I have survived 3 major conflicts as I used to weigh 403 lbs and had gastric-bypass, a rt kidney removed for cancer, and had both knees replaced. Due to the enormous bacruptcy we lost our vehicle. We have been using our daughters truck as she moved away to a ministry center. She is now back and needing her truck back of course. I am priviledged to work for an agency that puts a high priority on God, children, family, and their employees. We know that God is working things out. We need prayer from all that will trust and believe as we are in need of many miracleas. We have been living month to month I make decent income but never have enough. Please I seek prayer from those who will pray hernestly and seek God. Please prayer for my father-in- law’s health, my children, mine and my wife’s time as I work many hours,leaving her with many responsibilities. I am blessed that our children pitch in to help us. I ask that you partner with us in prayer. Please pray for our agency, children, families, and staff we work with. God Bless you. Thank you for being there as an ambasador for Christ.

  22. I am looking for a prayer chain that will pray for some boys I know,my son (joey) (russell) and especially (Scottie) these are basically good boys but got mixed with the wrong group growing up. I love these boys and I truly know God can use these boys in his glory, musically inclinned and who the are good for the world and I know God can use them. they are from 17-18. my heart cries for these guys. my son had a good start but a girl came along and turned his life around,back to marajuana and beer I don’t know what else.I hurt so bad from this. I bought him a bible and he was reading but I don’t think he does now.I know God is able to do anything but my faith feels a little let down but with other christians praying it helps build my faith and hope that God WILL get the guys. My needs are great in my family. all dramatic and fussing ,cursing , most of the time and I know God is not happy with this. Well Gods knows all my needs without putting on computer. please pray for my whole family Judy
    and I thank God for the answer before it happens………..

  26. Please pray for me. I am a young college student struggling with a verbally abusive father, and both parents argue constantly every day. This has been going on for 18 years of my life and I am only twenty years of age. This has taken a tole on my self-esteem and caused me alot of pain internally and externally. I have developed an eating disorder Anorexia/Bulimia and I have prayed so hard, but nothing seems to be helping. I ask God to forgive my sins and help me break through this painful habit and move onward with my life in a positive manner, I do not want to suffer anymore.
