Joyce Meyer
Image
Whatever is making you so angry, it's time for you to give it to God and get over it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't let your feelings be a God to you.
Joyce Meyer

Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.
Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer
Image
Perhaps we could enjoy ordinary, everyday life more if we learned to celebrate the ordinary.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Teenagers are people too!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Bad habits are our enemies because they hinder us from being the person we want to be.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We cannot know God apart from His Word.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don’t feel like you have to take every suggestion people give you. Not every good idea is a God idea.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Everyone wants to be an overcomer, but nobody wants anything to overcome.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Good intentions never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut.
