Taking Care Of Yourself | Joel Osteen

Don’t let yourself get depleted by life’s demands. When you make taking care of yourself a priority, you’ll be better equipped to take hold of everything God has for you.

Two years ago, my husband was dying from COPD. On top of caring for him, his very lazy mother stayed with us as well and she refused to do anything for herself, instead making demands on me. I tried to enlist her other two sons in the help and they refused, so the tasks all fell on me. I was told if I would have quit my job or given up my pets, THEN I'd have more time for what needed to be done for all of them. By the time he passed away, I was beyond burned out. Now came their demands for me to give them items that belonged to him and to continue to keep their mom in my home. I told them I was beyond done and why. I sold that house, moved into a smaller home and was then told I was being selfish. I held my ground. Sometimes we have to do what needs to be done for ourselves and when the lazy ones call us out, don't take the bait, just keep walking. I have spent the past two years healing, seeing that toxic people are what they are...toxic and creating boundaries. What Joel doesn't tell you is that in doing so, you will lose some people who feel that life is all about them taking and taking. Walk away, don't look back.

Every time I get into my car there is a sermon on Sirius XM where Joel Osteen is telling me my baby is on the way!! This is why at 47 years old I am STILL expecting God to bless us to conceive a baby!

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤

Joel is very gifted . I was atheist for years . Laughed at him for 20 yrs when i saw him on Tv . Then when the student is ready . God will put the right person, at the right time, with the right information. Which is what happened . Changing channels on Sirius and somehow stopped on his channel . Had to have been God . I listened and cried like a baby . Needless to say I’m a believer today and love Christ . Thank you Jesus for waiting on me.

After years of doing this I am finally realizing I can no longer do this. My mind and my health are so broken down. I listen to pastor Joel every available moment. Which turns out to be a few times a day. Bless you for your sermons. They speak mountains of truth.. God has blessed you in many ways. Amen

Joel I needed this message, 4 weeks ago I had a massive heart attack and God raised me up. Doctors told me I actually died 4 times.

As a mom and caregiver it's easy to feel guilty when you take time for yourself. But I have learned it's important and necessary to do so.

Don’t loose HOPE. I thought I was done having children. I actually got my Tubes Burnt. But apparently the Lord had something else in mind. Because at 45 I’m now expecting. And I’m loving it!!!!

Even God rested on the 7th day. He didn’t need to but he was showing us how to rest. Rest in HIM.

Idk if you’ll ever read this comment, but I wanted to say that my late grandmother loved watching your services on tv. It was how we bonded so closely because we watched them together on Sunday mornings while we got ready to head out to go to our church for worship services. I watch you every time I’m really feeling her absence. Thank you for providing such a tender, loving, amazing memories with my grandmother. You’ll never know how much those memories mean to me now that she’s passed away. I can never find the words to truly describe my gratitude to you, your family, your crew members, and your congregation for all those fond memories.
