Daily Readings From Every Day a Friday

Author: Joel Osteen Publishing House: Faith Words

This collection of ninety daily devotionals contains excerpts from the original book Every Day a Friday that emphasize positive, inspiring, and faith-building messages, along with additional supportive and encouraging material in the form of key Bible verses, daily prayers, and daily thoughts.


Daily Readings From Every Day a Friday. By Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church

I wrote Every Day a Friday after reading about a number of studies related to the positive effects of happiness. One showed that people are happier on Fridays.

Another showed that Mondays are so stressful for some that more heart attacks occur on that day than others. There were also a number of reports about the positive impact of happiness and optimism on mental and physical health.

After reading all this research, I wanted to encourage people to see every day of the week as a gift from God, and to live each day with gratitude, good humor, and faith.

Daily Readings from Every Day a Friday is designed to help you do just that, one day at a time.

This collection of ninety daily devotionals contains excerpts from the original book that emphasize positive, inspiring, and faith-building messages, along with additional supportive and encouraging material in the form of key Bible verses, daily prayers, and daily thoughts.

Daily Readings from Every Day a Friday is divided into seven key parts. Each part is designed to build on the others.

The goal is for you to take just a brief time each day to read and reflect, to put the events and circumstances in your life in perspective, and to receive a mental, emotional, and spiritual lift.


Each of the daily readings was selected to emphasize one of the seven keys. I’ve added several other features to help you apply and live out the truth that God wants you to know. Therefore, each daily devotional includes:

• A suggested Scripture reading: These passages will sometimes relate directly to the key being described, and in other instances the reading will provide necessary background for accurately understanding the truth for that day. Please don’t neglect these brief selections from God’s Word if you want to gain the full benefit of this book.

• Key verse(s): A verse or verses chosen from the Bible reading that expresses a theme of the devotional.

• A devotional excerpt from Every Day a Friday: A brief story or lesson that I believe will encourage and uplift you.

• Today’s Prayer: A daily prayer that can serve as a model to help you express your prayer requests, desires, gratitude, and fresh commitments to God. Feel free to adapt these prayers and make them your own. Have a personal conversation with your heavenly Father.

• Today’s Thought: These are points meant for you to consider thoughtfully after each daily reading. God’s Word tells us that our thinking patterns become our acting patterns. The way we talk to ourselves greatly influences our actions. The Today’s Thought sections also are meant to encourage you to agree with what God thinks of you throughout each day.

These ninety readings should be read at a one-each-day pace so that they carry you through three months or so. My dream is that, day by day, you will grow stronger in your gratitude, your happiness, your faith, and your well-being.

Book cover of Daily Readings From Every Day a Friday
Embrace your weakness and put your trust in the Holy Spirit. That’s where the real power resides.

Where the Real Power Resides

Charles R. Swindoll
The great apostle Paul was just like you and me. He had a love for God blended with feet of clay. Great passion . . . and great weakness. The longer I thought about this blend, the more evidence emerged from Scripture to support it.
Faith isn’t passive. It’s active. If you don’t believe me, read Hebrews 11.

Shut Up and Get Moving

Steven Furtick
When we’re looking for God to do something big. When we’re waiting to see God bring something new and greater into our lives. Be still. Let the Lord fight the battle for you. Let go and let God.
Trust in Him No matter what you are going through in life, you can trust God to be with you.

Some Positive Thing We Can Look at or Talk

Joyce Meyer
I once read a book that was based entirely on the word. He taught the reader to take each problem in his life, look at it honestly and then say “however,” and find something compensating positive in the individual's life that would put the problem into perspective.
The Bible makes it clear that we need to love each other as God loves us.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Learning the Love Languages

Gary Chapman
Many couples earnestly love each other but do not communicate their love in an effective way. If you don’t speak your spouse’s primary love language, he or she may not feel loved, even when you are showing love in other ways.
Why is it important to understand the distinction of the Spirit? Because He’s the one to whom we relate.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Voice of the Spirit Within Us

Chris Tiegreen
We don’t understand the mysteries of the relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit, but we do know each has a distinct role in our lives. When Jesus tells His disciples about the work of the Spirit, He explains that the Spirit will hear from Jesus Himself, who in turn has heard from the Father.
