Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - a Daily DevotionalSample

The Humble Get the Help Since Jesus invites us to cast all of our care and worry on Him, why do so many of us refuse to let go? Apparently, we're not yet fed up with being miserable. The only way to have victory in our lives is to play by God's rules, and He says we must quit worrying if we want to have peace. So when things come our way that cause us to be concerned, we need God's help. How do we get it? First Peter 5:6 says that we need to humble ourselves. That seems pretty clear and simple, yet some continue struggling because they're too stubborn to ask for help. But the humble get the help. So if your way isn't working, why not try God's way? All of us would be better off if we'd learn to lean on God and ask for His help. When we humble ourselves and ask for God's help, then He's able to release His power in our situations. It's only then that we can really enjoy life. So humble yourself today and let Him take care of your worries. Prayer Starter: God, I know that I can't run my life on my own, so I humble myself today and ask You for help. I trust You and give You control in my life.
