Pursue a Life of Excellence
Joyce Meyer – Sep 07, 2026
1 min read

Adapted from Ending Your Day Right

Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.

Matthew 7:13-14 (The Message)
Many people are trapped in a mediocre lifestyle. They seem to lack personal motivation, so they are easy targets for those who promise an easy way to success that requires little effort on their part. They do just enough to get by, but they never go the extra mile.

Living that kind of life is a poor substitute for the real rewards in life that can only be found in being a person of excellence, which was God’s plan for you from the beginning.

Learn the truth about God’s good plan for your life and vigorously pursue it. You will sense a wonderful fulfillment, and the fruit of your life will be abundant and bring glory to God.

Prayer of the Day: God, help me reject the easy way and vigorously pursue the excellent life You planned for me. Let my life bear fruit that brings You glory, amen.

Keep Your Promises
Joyce Meyer – Sep 06, 2026

Adapted from Starting Your Day Right
He who honors those who fear the Lord (who revere and worship Him); who swears to his own hurt and does not change; [he who] does not put out his money for interest [to one of his own people] and who will not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Psalm 15:4-5 (AMPC)
There are times when I make a commitment to do something that later I regret. Then I try to figure out some way to get out of doing what I said I would do. I argue, “God, surely You don’t want me to do this thing and miss this other great opportunity.”
The only thing the Lord ever says to me is, “You gave your word, Joyce. Be a woman of integrity, and I will bless you.” If we are people of integrity, God will bring other good opportunities around another time with even more blessings.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me keep my word even when it costs me. Make me a person of integrity, trusting You to bring greater blessings in Your time, amen.

Get Up and Move
Joyce Meyer – Sep 05, 2026
1 min read
Adapted from The Confident Woman
I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; and, behold, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles were covering its face, and its stone wall was broken down. . . . A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep—so shall your poverty come as a robber.
Proverbs 24:30–34 (AMPC)
Too much activity and no rest definitely is the culprit behind most stress, but no activity is also a problem. I am sure you have heard that exercise is a great stress reliever, and it is very true. I would rather be physically tired from exercise and movement than tired in my soul from doing nothing and being bored. God gave us all the joints in our body because He expected us to move!
The Bible clearly warns against the dangers of laziness (Proverbs 12:27; 2 Thessalonians 3:6–10). The lazy man has nothing, and he gets exactly what he deserves, which is nothing. If you give things to a lazy man or woman, they won't take care of them, and you'll notice that everything around them is in shambles. People who are lazy spend their lives "wishing" that something good would happen to them. They want others to do for them what they should be doing for themselves. They are miserable human beings, and their lives bear no good fruit.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, I will not sit back and wait for something good to happen. Help me to break free from all passivity and rise up and conquer, amen.

A Sense of Adventure
Joyce Meyer – Sep 04, 2026

Adapted from Quiet Times with God
This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24 (AMP)
Having a sense of adventure is crucial to enjoying the life God has given you. Adventure doesn’t have to be something expensive or over the top—it can be simple and fun. Here are some examples:
You can turn a trip to the park with your kids or grandkids into a treasure hunt. Adventure!
You can shake things up on date night. Rather than going to the same restaurant and movie theater, explore a new place to eat and choose a new post-dinner activity. Adventure!
Your job doesn't have to be boring. You can think outside the box and propose a new strategy or take initiative with a bold idea. Adventure!
Rather than staying safe in your spiritual comfort zone, why not sign up to serve in a new ministry or set out on a mission trip? Adventure!
If you want to enjoy the life God has given you, one of the best steps is to make every day some sort of adventure with Him.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, thank You for this day You've made. Help me find adventure in the everyday and give me courage to try new things with You, amen.

The Key to Conquering Frustration
Joyce Meyer – Sep 03, 2026
2 min read
Adapted from Closer to God Each Day
[Therefore, I do not treat God’s gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God . . .
Galatians 2:21 (AMPC)
I know what frustration is like because I spent many years living a frustrated life. I knew who God was, but I knew very little of His grace and how to live in close relationship to Him. I have since learned that when I get frustrated, it’s almost always because I am trying to make something happen in my own strength instead of waiting on the Lord to make it happen. If I am frustrated, it is a sign that I am acting independently instead of relying on Him and receiving His grace.
Are you frustrated? In your relationships? In your career? In your walk with the Lord? Are you wrestling with an area of your personality that is causing you problems, or is there a specific habit in your life that you can’t break?
Frustration comes from trying to do something you cannot do on your own. God is the only One who can make things happen for you in your life. You will be frustrated if you try to do things without Him. But the minute you say, “Lord, I can’t do this on my own, so I turn it over to You. I am willing to do anything You ask me to do, but I will need Your grace (power) in order to do it”—when you sincerely pray that prayer, you will begin to enjoy the rest of God.
Prayer of the Day: Father, I can't do this on my own, so I turn it over to You. Help me stop striving in my own strength and rest in Your grace, amen.

Taming the Tongue
Joyce Meyer – Sep 02, 2026
1 min read
Adapted from Power Thoughts Devo
I said, I will take heed and guard my ways, that I may sin not with my tongue; I will muzzle my mouth as with a bridle while the wicked are before me.
Psalm 39:1 (AMPC)
The psalmist David prayed a lot about his words. He said, Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14 AMPC). Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips (Psalm 141:3 AMPC). We can see from these scriptures that David was determined not to sin with his tongue, but at the same time, he relied on God for strength to follow through.
One of the things we should ask God each day is to help us speak right things. Our words are very important, and they should be used for God’s purpose. We should desire to be mouthpieces for God, speaking His Word faithfully.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me guard my mouth and tame my tongue. Give me strength to speak words that please You and honor Your Word, amen.

New Level, New Opposition
Joyce Meyer – Sep 01, 2026

Adapted from Wake Up to the Word..He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ…perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
Philippians 1:6 (AMPC)
We never stay in the same place in life, merely remaining static; we are always stepping into new levels. We do things we have never done before and face new responsibilities. We are presented with new opportunities, and many times they come with new opposition. We have an enemy, the devil, and he does not want us to make any kind of positive progress in life. The apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 16:9 that a wide door of opportunity had opened unto him and with it came many adversaries.
If God has promoted you to a new level of something or given you a new opportunity, you can be assured that He will guide and strengthen you for the challenge. When opposition comes stand firm and be full of confidence because God is with you and you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).
Prayer of the Day: Lord, thank You for this new opportunity. When opposition comes, help me stand firm and confident, trusting that You are with me and I am more than a conqueror, amen.

The World Is Watching
Joyce Meyer – Aug 31, 2026
2 min read
Adapted from Trusting God Day by Day
Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, [yet] they may by witnessing your good deeds [come to] glorify God in the day of inspection [when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock].
1 Peter 2:12 (AMPC)
I believe the world is watching Christians, and what people see Christians do is very important. In the scripture above, Peter encouraged believers to conduct themselves properly and honorably among Gentiles, the unbelievers of the day. He said even if the unbelievers were inclined to slander the believers, the unbelievers would eventually come to glorify God if they saw the believers’ good works and loving deeds.
If your neighbors know you go to church every Sunday, I can assure you that they also watch your behavior. When I was growing up, our neighbors dutifully went to church. Actually, they went several times a week, but they also did lots of things they should not have done. I recall my father often saying, “They are no better than I am; they get drunk, use bad language, tell dirty jokes, and have bad tempers, so they are just a bunch of hypocrites.” My dad was looking for an excuse to not serve God anyway, and their behavior just added fuel to the fire.
I certainly realize that as Christians, we don’t behave perfectly, and that people who want an excuse to not believe in Jesus or practice Christianity will always watch us and criticize us. But we should do the best we can to not give them a reason to judge us.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, please help me conduct myself in a way that reflects Your character at all times. Let my good works and loving deeds point others to You, especially when they're watching closely, amen.

How to Draw Closer to God
Joyce Meyer – Aug 28, 2026
1 min read
Adapted from Strength for Each Day..There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 (ESV)
The title of today’s devotion may seem like a strange question. I ask it because I think many people are not comfortable in an intimate relationship with God. They may approach Him as one who is far away in heaven, and they may not feel they are worthy of intimacy with Him. God referred to Abraham as His friend (Isaiah 41:8), and He spoke to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend (Exodus 33:11 ESV). These people were not perfect. They made mistakes just as you and I do, but they had an intimate relationship with God.
I encourage you to be comfortable talking with God about anything. After all, He already knows everything about you, and He loves and accepts you unconditionally.
The more open you are with God concerning everything in your life, the closer to Him you will feel. I believe God is calling you closer, and I pray that you will enter into His presence knowing that you are welcome there.
Prayer of the Day: Father, I want to be as close to You as I can be. Help me not to be ashamed or to feel uncomfortable in any way in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.

How to Keep Your Passion for Jesus Alive
Joyce Meyer – Aug 27, 2026
1 min read
Adapted from My Time with God
So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!
Revelation 3:16 (AMPC)
When our relationship with Jesus is new, it is often filled with passion and enthusiasm, but it is possible as time goes by to let it become commonplace and dull. That is a serious mistake!
We should keep ourselves stirred up and not allow ourselves to become so familiar with the amazing things that God does for us that we are no longer enthusiastic about them. Once I recall asking God, “Why don’t You do the exciting things in my life that You once did?” and He said, “I still do the same things, but you have becomeaccustomed to them and are no longer amazed!” Let’s not be lukewarm but instead let’s keep our passion for Jesus.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, please don't let familiarity steal my passion for You, because I definitely want to be intimately familiar with You. Help me stay amazed by the amazing work You are doing in my life and keep my enthusiasm for You burning bright, amen.
