Joel Osteen Daily Inspirational Guide 20 March 2024 Wednesday
it’s easy to get so caught up meeting other people’s needs and measuring up to their expectations that we put ourselves on the back burner. There are the constant demands of work, family, the maintenance of the house, and friends who are counting on us. We develop a hero mentality where we can’t let anyone down. We always have to be strong, always come through, cheer everyone else up, fix the problems, and stay late.
We’re doing all these good things to try to keep everyone around us happy. The problem is that we can become depleted, drained, worn-out. We’re making sure everyone else is a priority, but we need to make ourself a priority. Your first mission is to keep yourself healthy—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It’s not selfish to take time to get refreshed, to be reenergized. You shouldn’t be so busy that you don’t have time to be alone, to laugh, to exercise, and for recreation. Our God delights to give you rest and to help you stay in balance.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for giving me my body to live in and to care for as a temple of Your Spirit. Thank You that You made me to work and be productive as well as to rest and to be refreshed. Help me keep myself healthy and renewed, living a balanced life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
