Daily Hope with Pastor Rick Warren

When Mary and Joseph’s plans were turned upside-down, they didn’t have all the promises from the Bible that we do today to help them have faith. Pastor Rick helps you understand through this message what God is doing when he changes your plans and how he wants you to respond.

God’s plans will always be better than yours—and that’s why he sometimes messes up the plans you were making for your life. In this message, Pastor Rick explains how to have faith that God is changing your plans for the better.

Psalm 23 teaches that God is not just the God of your mountaintop experiences; he also journeys through the valleys with you. When you’re facing problems, conflict, grief, fear, or failure, God is there with you. He guides you down the right paths and, ultimately, creates good from your valley. In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Rick Warren teaches about the kinds of valleys you encounter and how to walk through them with confidence.

One reason we often feel overloaded is because we’re trying to control things too much. Sometimes we act this way without realizing it. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick teaches the importance of staying in step with Jesus, the One who loves us and has great things in store for us!

What does Jesus say when we come to him with an emptiness in our lives—an empty soul, an empty heart, an empty character? How does he respond when we tell him we have nothing to give? Join Pastor Rick as he reminds you that God will never scold you or turn you away; he will always say, “Come to me.”

The bigger the changes that happen in your life, the more time you need to spend with God. You read the Bible, talk to God in prayer, and listen to what he wants to say to you. Join Pastor Rick as he highlights the importance of spending daily time with God so you can experience God’s peace and rest.

There will always be people in your life who have bad intentions, who will resent you, criticize you, and hurt you. There is no way around it. Thankfully, as Rick teaches in this broadcast, we can trust that God sees, cares, and will have justice.

Anybody can be happy when everything's going their way. But God teaches you true joy in the middle of suffering, grief, and heartbreak. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick explores how God’s peace can flood into the most chaotic of circumstances.

Happy people are more likely to look at every situation in life from God's viewpoint. They look past the pain and pressure; they see the bigger picture. Listen to Pastor Rick to learn that God “causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God” (Romans 8:28 NLT).

The negative opinions of others can easily get us down. But if our happiness depends on the approval of other people, disappointment is bound to follow. Discover God’s strategy for happiness in this broadcast by Pastor Rick.

Pain, pressure, people, and problems—they’re the four most common sources of unhappiness. They’re the killjoys of life. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick examines why happiness is not based on circumstances; happiness is a choice we all get to make.

Many of us tend to focus on our problems instead of on God. But when we do that, we don’t have the eternal perspective we need to keep going, no matter what happens. Listen to Pastor Rick as he once again reminds us that God promises to help us when we feel like giving up.

Do you feel under attack? Tell God. Do you feel like you have no energy? Tell God. Do you feel rejected or lonely? Tell God. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick encourages you to dump everything you’re feeling right now onto the Lord—he wants to hear it all!

Spectators at a race often shout, “Keep going!” to motivate the athletes. That’s also great advice for anyone who feels emotionally, mentally, or spiritually exhausted from running the marathon of life. Join Pastor Rick as he reminds us that God will give us the power we need to finish what he has called us to do.

In the Bible, there are more promises attached to faithful giving and generosity than any other subject. Join Pastor Rick as he teaches that God wants his children to be generous because he’s generous—and he wants his children to be like him!
