I used to let other people's struggles affect my happiness. If they weren't happy, there was no way I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn't happy, I didn't want anyone around me to be happy.

We open the door for God to work by placing faith in His Word, and we open the door for Satan to work by placing faith in his word. He places thought in our minds that are not true, but can become true for us if they are believed.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God's Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.
Joyce Meyer
Image
There’s no such thing as trust unless you have unanswered questions in your life. If you know everything, theres nothing to trust God for.
Joyce Meyer
Image
It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I never get tired of hearing the great testimonies of people whom God has touched. I pray that the changes God has done in me will then be done in others.

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you're hurt very badly in your childhood, the area that it has the greatest effect on is relationships. Once you feel like you can't trust people, once you feel like that they don't care about you, that they're really not going to take care of you, it gets very difficult in relationships.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If we are ever going to develop an ability to hear from God and be led by His Spirit, we have to start making our own decisions and trust the wisdom God has deposited in our own heart.
Joyce Meyer
Image
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

You would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)
Joyce Meyer
Image
It's so easy to settle for less than God's best for us because we don't always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God's will.

Image
The absence of pain means death, so when something no longer bothers you, you've died to that thing.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We often think more highly of ourselves than we ought to, and it's easy to judge others and be critical of their weaknesses and shortcomings. But this self-righteous attitude is a sin that we can be blinded to because we're so focused on what the other person did wrong. The reality is this attitude is worse than the wrong behavior we're judging.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Compromise means to go just a little bit below what you know is right. It's just a little bit, but it's the little foxes that spoil the vine.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you look at your circumstances you will put off doing what God is telling you to do. It can seem like the worst time to do whatever God says to do. BUT there is an anointing on now if God has told you to act.

The best way to have the last word is to apologize.
