More quotes by Joel Osteen
Sometimes in life, a fog sets in and you don't know which way is the right direction. Every voice may tell you it's not going to happen, but God has placed a promise in your heart. Refuse to listen to those voices. Keep believing.
Joel Osteen
So many people say, I just don't have a good job, or my marriage is not where it's supposed to be. Really it's excuse after excuse to not be happy. To me it's a waste. I'm going to look at what's right and not what's wrong in my life. I'm alive, I'm healthy, and you know, a good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.
Joel Osteen
The greatest difficulty always comes right before the birth of a dream.
Joel Osteen
The people God put in your life are not there by accident. Don’t get so busy that you just give them your leftover time.
Joel Osteen
I tell people all the time, preached a couple Sundays about it. I'm for everybody. You may not agree with me, but to me it's not my job to try to straighten everybody out.
Joel Osteen
If you will transform your mind, God will transform your life.
Joel Osteen
Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn't work today.
Joel Osteen
We can all control our own destiny. And I think sometimes it's a copout to say, Well, it's this person's fault or another person's fault.
Joel Osteen
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
Joel Osteen
I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.
Joel Osteen
I believe God's keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can't give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it's peace or joy or satisfaction.
Joel Osteen
I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.
Joel Osteen
It’s vital that you accept yourself and learn to be happy with who God made you to be. If you want to truly enjoy your life, you must be at peace with yourself.
Joel Osteen
You know, there is always times where you feel discouraged and things coming against you, but I don't know if I ever wanted to throw in the towel.
Joel Osteen
It’s better to please God and have a few people upset with you than to please people and have God upset with you.
Joel Osteen
Back in Bible days, there were these famous schools of the prophets, but some of the ones Jesus chose didn't come through that route - and not to say that they weren't good, but I'm comfortable.
Joel Osteen
I DECLARE God is going before me making crooked places straight. He has already lined up the right people, the right opportunities and solutions to problems I haven't had. No person, no sickness, no disappointment, can stop His plan. What he promised will come to pass.
Joel Osteen
I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.
Joel Osteen
You may have had unfair things happen to you, but the depth of your pain is an indication of the height of your future.
Joel Osteen
Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.
Joel Osteen
