Joel Osteen Devotional 16 July 2025 Inspirational Wednesday Message
Today’s Topic: Dealing with Anxiety
Scripture: I am overwhelmed by my troubles. My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats….My heart pounds in my chest….Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can’t stop shaking. – Psalm 55:2–5, NLT
Today’s Word
David was the warrior king who defeated Goliath and led the Israelites into great victories. But in today’s Scripture, David was so overwhelmed with serious anxiety that he was shaking. Dealing with anxiety doesn’t mean that you’re weak, that you don’t have enough faith, or that you must have done something wrong. The enemy attacks you with anxiety because he knows there’s greatness in you, that you’re on the verge of seeing a new level. He’ll try to make you feel overwhelmed, fearful about the future, thinking it’s not going to work out.
As with David, thoughts will tell you, “This anxiety is never going to change. You’ll always have to deal with this feeling that something is wrong.” Don’t believe those lies. The anxiety shall pass. Sometimes God will bring you out quickly. Other times He’ll take you little by little. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see anything changing. God is working. Every day you need to declare, “I’m getting better. My mind is at peace. My heart is at rest. I am free from this anxiety.”
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that Your strength in difficult times is the source of my security. I refuse to be overwhelmed by problems because You will bring me through to victory. I declare that I am resting in the Almighty God who is greater than anything I face. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: On the way to your destiny, there will be giants. You can’t become who you were created to be without opposition. Thoughts of doubt will come, “The sickness is too big. My business is not going to make it. This family issue will never resolve.” The odds may be against you. You’re right where David was, looking at a giant twice your size. You can do like the other men in the army and run, hide, get talked out of your dream. Or you can deal with doubt a different way.
It’s okay to be honest, “God, I have doubts in what I can do. This giant looks way over my head. I know in the natural, I don’t have a chance. But God, I will never doubt Your mighty power. I know You are fighting my battles. You are breathing on my slingshot. You are showing Yourself strong in my life.” When I say a never-doubt mindset, I don’t mean you’re not going to have doubts about your ability, thoughts telling you that it’s never going to work out. Those thoughts come to us all. But you have to have this knowing, this trust that, “Even though I may doubt my ability, God, I will never doubt what You can do.”
