The theme for today’s Joyce Meyer daily devotional September 14 2023 is ”Stop Trying and Start Trusting”
SCRIPTURE: [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.— Philippians 2:13 (AMPC)
Most of us desire the good life God has planned for us, but sometimes we fail to recognize the areas our lives that need to be changed. Many times, you set out to make those changes, yet despite your best efforts, you seem powerless to make those changes happen.
Trying to bring about change through your own strength and plans will always result in frustration. God is waiting for you to stop trying to change and start trusting Him to change you.
If you need to make changes in your thoughts, attitudes, and behavior, understand that you can’t do it by yourself. Spend time with God and ask for His help—after all, if He can’t do it, it can’t be done. But He can…and He will!
Prayer of the Day: Lord, thank You for helping me to change. I know I can’t do it without You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
