When things are difficult, smile by faith. Don't wait until you feel better.
Joel Osteen
Image
When you go through difficult times...recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges.
Joel Osteen
Image
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
Image
I think we use God's word. I think the principles that you hear Dr. Phil and some of those others talk about many times are right out of the Bible.
Joel Osteen
Image
Don't use your faith to try to get rid of problems. Use your faith to remain calm in the midst of your problems.
Joel Osteen
Image
You may never get to that perfect world that you're waiting for where everything's going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.
Joel Osteen
Image
A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.
Joel Osteen
Image
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.

No matter what you’ve been through, no matter what others might have thought about you...you are who God says you are. You are talented, you are a success, and you are an overcomer!
Joel Osteen
Image
When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It's up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.
Joel Osteen
Image
I don't go down the road of condemning.
Joel Osteen
Image
Don't do anything that you wouldn't feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day.
Joel Osteen
Image
The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.
Joel Osteen
Image
I don't think it's that hard [to lead a Christian life]. To me it's fun. We have joy and happiness.
Joel Osteen
Image
I just think that trusting God means we're going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we're never going to understand them all.
Joel Osteen
Image
If you don't let people flourish in their jobs, why are they going to stay?
Joel Osteen
Image
My daddy tried to get me up to speak for the 17 years that I worked behind the scenes, but I never had the desire. Naturally, I was nervous and kind of shy. I just didn't want to do it.
Joel Osteen
Image
Instead of telling God how big your problems are, tell your problem how BIG your God is.
Joel Osteen
Image
I like sports, and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.
Joel Osteen
Image
I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.
