About this sermon

Stop carrying the weight of things you were never meant to carry. Discover how to let go and let God take control. In this powerful message, Joel Osteen from Lakewood Church shares how to shift from worry to complete peace by trusting that God is working behind the scenes of your life. Using the inspiring biblical accounts of Daniel in the lions' den and David's confidence in the face of giant obstacles, Joel reveals how God makes you lion-proof against your biggest struggles. Watch as Joel shares a personal story of how God orchestrated his son Jonathan's college path at 17:03, and discover the exact moment you can find beauty for your ashes at 24:33.

He controls the enemies. You are not at the mercy of random events." If you are currently facing an overwhelming medical report, struggling to pay off debt, or feeling stressed about your children's future, this is for you. Many people spend their nights tossing and turning, trying to force breakthroughs or make promotions happen in their own strength. This message is a direct invitation to step out of anxiety, realize you are in a divinely controlled environment, and finally find peace. Q: How do I stop worrying when my life feels completely out of control? A: You stop worrying by choosing to let go and let God. When you take your hands off the situation, you allow a supernatural God to work miracles behind the scenes. Q: What does it mean to be made lion-proof by God? A: Being lion-proof means that even when God allows you to walk through difficult trials or face overwhelming enemies, He closes the mouths of those lions so they cannot harm you. Q: Why does God allow us to go through hard times instead of stopping them? A: God allows trials to show His great power and favor in your life. Your victories become a powerful statement to others that you serve the living and true God. Q: How can I find peace when I am facing a bad medical report or debt? A: You find peace by declaring that God has you in the palm of His hand. Remain confident that the forces for you are greater than the forces against you. Q: What should I do when people are jealous of me or try to hold me back? A: Do not get distracted trying to prove yourself to critics. Keep being your best, stay in peace, and let God fight your battles as your ultimate vindicator. 1. Daniel 6:22 - God shuts the mouth of every enemy. 2.
