Too often, we’re fighting when we should be resting. We’re standing when we should be sitting. You need to have faith that God is in control.

You don’t have to know how it's going to happen as long as you know Who is in control of your life. That’s when the Creator of the universe will open doors you couldn’t open, break chains that have held you back, bring dreams to pass that seemed impossible.

You don’t know where God is taking you. You don’t know the doors He’s going to open, the giants you’re going to defeat, the influence you’re going to have. There’s an awesome future in front of you, but it’s dependent on how you see yourself.

God’s ways are not our ways. He’s working when we can’t see it. Sometimes it’s taking longer because He has something better in store. One of the best things I’ve learned is to trust God’s timing and trust His ways.

Don't try to understand everything that happens along the way. God works in mysterious ways. If you’re trying to figure everything out, you’re going to get frustrated. There are things you’re not supposed to understand; that’s what faith is all about.

God doesn’t ask us to figure it out. He doesn’t ask us to come up with a plan, research it, see if it’s possible. He simply asks us to believe. Get in agreement with what God has already promised.

God is working. The promise is growing. What God spoke to you is developing. You may not see anything improving, but if you’ll stay in faith, what God said is on the way.

Joel Osteen Stay faithful where you are; keep a good attitude when things are not happening as fast as you would like. David said, “God, my times are in Your hands.”

God is about to take you higher. Things that have held you back are being broken. New doors are about to open, giants are about to be defeated, talent is about to come out of you that you didn’t know you had.

Trying to do it yourself? Joyce reminds us that we need to be willing to wait for God to bring our dreams to pass because His way and timing are always better than ours. Read today's devotional at fal.cn/3c8IG #JoyceDevo #DailyDevo

Reaching new levels isn’t always easy. We have to push past fears, mistakes, and excuses in order to develop what God has placed in us.

You may have situations that look like they’ll never work out. If you only consider the circumstances, you’ll get discouraged and give up. Don’t consider your circumstances; consider your God.

@DrJerryQuotes Joel Osteen Amen, I'm trying.

You may have obstacles that look permanent in your life, but God is about to have them hurry out of your way. It’s not going to happen gradually, on a normal schedule, like you were expecting. It’s going to happen quickly, out of the ordinary.

Times of waiting can be hard, but don’t give up because of challenges or obstacles you may be facing. Continue to remind yourself that you are chosen and do not allow any of the difficulties to change your mind.

Victoria Osteen God's ways are not our ways. He is working when we cannot see him. Sometimes it takes longer because he has something better in store. One of the best things I have learned is to trust God's timing and trust his ways.

Take people off the throne. People are not your source; God is your source. It’s nice when they’re good to you, when they recognize your value, but don’t become so dependent on them that you start seeing them as your provider. Recognize that behind the resource is the Source.

Release the pain from your past and the anxiety about your future. Life is to be lived here and now.

Here’s the key, you have to speak it before you see it. This is what faith is all about. Be inspired by this message from Joel, "Keep Speaking Victory". Check it out: bit.ly/JOAPodcast
