for favor. He can open doors for you that no one else can open. Joyce Meyer

gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift! Joyce Meyer

Every day that
goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ shall return. Joyce Meyer
221.
Every new day in
Christ is a new opportunity for something incredible to happen. Joyce Meyer
222.
Every person who
confesses that Christ Jesus is Lord, repents of their sin and gives their heart
to God is a child of God and belongs to Him. And in Christ, we are made right
with God, we are His righteousness, and we have the power of Christ in us to live
right. Joyce Meyer
223.
Every step you
take is important, but perhaps the most important step is the first one. Joyce
Meyer
224.
Every storm is
not in the forecast. Joyce Meyer
225.
Every time we get
really upset, it takes a lot of emotional energy, tires us out, messes with our
health, steals our joy, and still doesn’t change one thing. Joyce Meyer
226.
Every time you
feel like doing the wrong thing, but choose to do the right thing, you are
growing! Joyce Meyer
227.
Every time you
look in the mirror, remember that God created you and that everything He
creates is beautiful and good. Joyce Meyer

open your mouth, your thoughts parade up and down the words you speak. Joyce

to be an overcomer, but nobody wants anything to overcome. Joyce Meyer

always looking for a word, here’s a word: LOVE. Walk in love, that will keep
you busy for the rest of your life. Joyce Meyer
231.
Everyone knows
how to smile. It’s one of the greatest gifts God has given us. A smile makes
people feel good, and people look so beautiful when they smile. Joyce Meyer
232.
Everything God
tells us to do is for our good. Whether its direction you get in His Word or
something He’s specifically put in your heart for your situation in life, the
absolute best thing you can ever do is obey Him promptly and completely. Joyce
Meyer
233.
Everything in
life is subject to change, except for God. Joyce Meyer

your life should involve God. Don’t just give Him five minutes in the morning.
Live for Him. Joyce Meyer
235.
Everything we do
is to be offered to the Lord; and if done so with a pure heart of love, it
becomes holy. Joyce Meyer
236.
Everything we run
away from has power over us. Everything we go through we conquer. Joyce
Meyer
237.
Everything you do
is a seed that you sow. Seed bad, harvest bad. Seed good, harvest good. And the
list goes on and on. Joyce Meyer
238.

what you have and do the BEST with it! Joyce Meyer
239.
Excellence is
going the extra mile. Joyce Meyer
240.
Expect God to do
something great! Joyce Meyer
241.
Expect good
things. Expect them. Get your “Expectors” out of the back of the closet, dust
them off and start expecting good things in your life. Joyce Meyer
242.
Expect something
good to happen to you today. Joyce Meyer
243.
Extremely
religious, legalistic people have a criticism or judgment about everyone and
everything. They just have a way of bringing people down with what they say. Joyce
Meyer
244.
Failing at a
thing doesn’t make you a failure. You are a failure when you quit trying. Joyce
Meyer
245.
Failures won’t
defeat me. Joyce Meyer
246.
Faith always has
unanswered questions. Joyce Meyer
247.
Faith is a
decision we make about where we are going to put our trust. Joyce Meyer
248.
Faith is having a
positive attitude about what you can do and not worrying at all about what you
can’t do. Joyce Meyer
249.
Faith is not the
price that buys the blessings of God. It’s the hand that reaches out and
receives it. Joyce Meyer
250.
Faith is
sometimes a fight, and we can’t live by what we feel, we’ve got to live by the
Word of God. And I’m telling you, if you refuse to give up, your time of
breakthrough will come! Joyce Meyer
251.
Faith is the only
thing I know that is stronger than fear. Joyce Meyer
252.
Faith means that
you have peace even when you don’t have all the answers. Joyce Meyer
253.
Faithfulness is
not doing something right once, but over and over and over again. Joyce
Meyer
254.
F-E-A-R has two
meanings: Forget everything and run or Face everything and rise. The choice is
yours. Joyce Meyer
255.
Fear is a
dead-end but faith always has a future. Joyce Meyer
256.
Fear is a spirit
that produces a feeling. Joyce Meyer
257.
Fear is simply
faith in what Satan says. Joyce Meyer
258.
Fear tries to get
us to give up, but faith takes us all the way through to victory. Joyce
Meyer
259.
Fear will try to
keep you from taking that first step. Don’t give in to fear. Do it afraid. Joyce
Meyer
260.
Feed your faith
and your fears will starve to death. Joyce Meyer
261.
Feel the fear and
do it anyway. Joyce Meyer
262.
Feeling sorry for
ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely
no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control
us. We can decide to be happy regardless. Joyce Meyer
263.
Fellowshipping
with God early in the morning is one sure way to begin enjoying every day of
your life. Joyce Meyer

with fellowship with God, good choices, healthy foods, and lots of activity. Joyce
Meyer
265.
Fill your
thoughts with good. Joyce Meyer
266.
Find joy in the
small things. Joyce Meyer
267.
Find ways to
celebrate your progress instead of mourning excessively over your mistakes. Joyce
Meyer
268.
Five minutes of
communication can save a year’s worth of turmoil and misunderstanding. Joyce
Meyer
269.
Focus on giving
smiles away and you will always discover that your own smiles will always be in
great supply. Joyce Meyer
270.
Focus on the good
habit you want to do, not the bad habit you don’t want to do. Overcome the bad
with good. Joyce Meyer
271.
Focus on your
potential instead of your limitations. Joyce Meyer
272.
Forgive quickly.
The quicker you do it, the easier it is. Joyce Meyer
273.
Forgiveness is
manifested mercy. It is live in action – not love based on a feeling, but love
based on a decision, an intentional choice to obey God. Joyce Meyer
274.
Forgiveness is
not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right
before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to
get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense. Joyce
Meyer
275.
Forgiveness is
not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an
everyday thing, for the rest of your life. Joyce Meyer
276.
Forgiveness is
nothing more and nothing less than an act of self-healing and an act of
self-empowerment. Joyce Meyer
277.
Freedom is not
doing everything you want to. Freedom is not having to do what you don’t want
to do. Joyce Meyer
278.
Freedom is not
letting your yesterday affect your today. What you were is not what you are. Joyce
Meyer
279.
Frustration is a
sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the
doors will stay closed. Joyce Meyer
280.
Gain control over
what you can, and try not to stress about what you can’t. Joyce Meyer
281.
Get the help you
need. Refuse to live any longer pressed down under a burden of guilt and
condemnation. Joyce Meyer
282.
Get up every day,
love God, and do your best. He will do the rest! Joyce Meyer
283.
Getting organized
in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you’ve started is
an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t get a
handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the
big things? Joyce Meyer
284.
Getting stress
out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make
changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm
down in the way you handle things. Joyce Meyer
285.
Give God your
mess and let it become your message. Joyce Meyer
286.
Give your
circumstances over to Jesus and be confident that He’s got it all under
control. Your life will change dramatically once you unleash your faith. Joyce
Meyer
287.
Give yourself
permission to lighten up and don’t be so intense about your own perfection. Joyce
Meyer
288.
Giving in to fear
alters God’s best plan for your life. So use the power of God’s Word to do what
He wants to do … even if you have to do it afraid! The rewards are great! Joyce
Meyer
289.
Giving is just
one way of expressing that God has been good to you and will continue to do so
through your being good to others. Joyce Meyer
290.
Go beyond what
you feel like doing and do what’s right. Every time you do what is right when
you don’t feel like it, you are growing. Joyce Meyer
291.
Go over, under,
around, or through, but never, never give up. Joyce Meyer
292.
God already knew
your weaknesses, every flaw you would have, every time you would fail, and He
still said, “I want you.” Ephesians 1:5 declares He foreordained you to be
adopted as His own. God is your daddy! With Him on your side, things are bound
to work out all right in the end. Joyce Meyer
293.
God can
completely restore us – no matter what we’ve done or been through. He wants to
give us double for our trouble! Joyce Meyer
294.
God can deliver
your mind from the desert and help you enjoy the journey to the promised land! Joyce
Meyer
295.
God can do a
miracle with every little thing you give Him. Joyce Meyer
296.
God can do
exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond, but you’ve got to know who you are
in Christ. You’ve got to know that He loves you. Joyce Meyer
297.
God can do more
for you in a minute than you can do in a lifetime. Joyce Meyer
298.
God can do more
in us in five minutes than we could do in twenty-five years of trying. Joyce
Meyer
299.
God can open
doors for you that no man can open! Joyce Meyer
300.
God can take
better care of you than you could ever take of yourself. He could open doors
for you that you could never open. He can close doors that will keep you out of
trouble. God can give you favor everywhere you go. Joyce Meyer
301.
God can take even
your biggest mistake in life and make it work out for good if you will trust
Him. Joyce Meyer
302.
God cannot lead
you if you aren’t willing to follow. Joyce Meyer
303.
God cares about
every tiny detail of your life. Joyce Meyer
304.
God cares about
everything that concerns you. So feel free to talk to Him about anything. Joyce
Meyer
305.
God cares. God
loves you very much and wants to help you, but you need to ask Him to. A man
told me recently that when he feels overwhelmed, he lifts up one hand toward
Heaven and says, “Come get me, Jesus.” God hears the faintest cry of your
heart, so stop trying to do everything on your own and ask Him for help. You
may not think that God cares about something as simple as your health, but He
does. He cares about everything that concerns you … the big as well as the
small. He wants you healthy and whole, and He is willing to help, if you’ll
just let Him. Pray to Him to help you find the spiritual strength you need to
make any necessary changes in your life. God’s grace is always available. As we
choose to do what is right and lean on Him to give us strength, His power
enables us to follow through and experience victory. Joyce Meyer
306.
God created us to
please Him, which sets us free from the need to please people. Joyce Meyer
307.
God desires that
we be truthful with Him, truthful to others, and truthful with ourselves. Joyce
Meyer
308.
God does not love
us because we deserve it. He loves us because He is kind and wants to. Joyce
Meyer
309.
God doesn’t do
good things for us because we are good and deserve them, but because He is good
and loves us. Joyce Meyer
310.
God doesn’t do
things halfway. He goes all out! When God does something, it’s not just barely
enough, mediocre or lukewarm. Joyce Meyer
311.
God doesn’t love
me any more or less because I had some work done on my face. You know, I prayed
about it a long, long, long, long, long time, because there again, I wouldn’t
want to do anything that I felt was going to be offensive to God. Joyce
Meyer
312.
God doesn’t love
us because we’re good, He loves us because He is good. Joyce Meyer
313.
God doesn’t stop
being good because the world is full of evil. Joyce Meyer
314.
God doesn’t tell
you to do hard things so He can stand back and laugh and watch you struggle. He
asks you to do things that He knows are going to work out to your good in the
end. Joyce Meyer
315.
God doesn’t want
us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be
bold, confident and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases
to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith. Joyce
Meyer
316.
God doesn’t want
you to just talk about victory, He wants you to have it in your daily life. Joyce
Meyer
317.
God forgives our
sins and remembers them no more. So you can stop remembering what God has
forgotten. Joyce Meyer
318.
God forgives us
and remembers our sin no more. Therefore, stop remembering what God has
forgotten. Joyce Meyer
319.
God gives us a
double blessing for our trouble. Joyce Meyer
320.
God gives us
hopes and dreams for certain things to happen in our lives, but He doesn’t
always allow us to see the exact timing of His plan. Joyce Meyer
321.
God has a big
eraser, and He uses it to keep our records clean and clear. Joyce Meyer
322.
God has a good
plan for your life. You haven’t missed the boat and you aren’t too late. Joyce
Meyer
323.
God has a perfect
timing for all things, and He will not be rushed, so settle down and enjoy the
wait. Joyce Meyer
324.
God has a plan
for you and He has heard your prayers; you may not realize how close you are to
your breakthrough. Joyce Meyer
325.
God has a plan
for you and His plan is much better than yours. So give yourself to Him and see
what happens. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Joyce Meyer
326.
God has an
antidote for everything that tries to poison our soul. Joyce Meyer
327.
God has an
appointment with your breakthrough. And when that time comes, God will not be
late. Joyce Meyer
328.
God has called me
to be me, and you to be you. Joyce Meyer
329.
God has equipped
you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of
discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with
His Word to make them grow! Joyce Meyer
330.
God has joyful
moments planned for us each and every day. With Him, life is always an
adventure! Joyce Meyer
331.
God has never
once had a negative thought about you. Joyce Meyer
332.
God has not
always given me what I wanted, but He has always met my needs. Joyce Meyer
333.
God has planted
greatness in you. Let today be the beginning of a great adventure as you step
into the gifts He’s given you. Joyce Meyer
334.
God has uniquely
gifted you to help someone. Be available as God opens doors for you to do so. Joyce
Meyer
335.
God has your
comeback planned, and it’s going to be glorious. Joyce Meyer
336.
God hears and
sees, and you are not alone in your struggles. Remain firm and stable, for God
has your deliverance planned. Joyce Meyer
337.
God is a God of
hearts. He sees and cares about our attitude of heart even more than our
performance. Joyce Meyer
338.
God is a great
God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him. Joyce Meyer
339.
God is able to do
anything. All things are possible with Him, but we must not quit praying. Joyce
Meyer
340.
God is always
working things out for my good. He has chosen me for His purpose. Joyce
Meyer
341.
God is bigger
than every issue you will ever have to face, and you can do whatever you need
to do through Christ who strengthens you. Joyce Meyer
342.
God is changing
you day by day and you can still enjoy yourself while He is working! Joyce
Meyer
343.
God is faithful
and He will fulfill every promise. Joyce Meyer
344.
God is faithful
to give us His love, grace and wisdom to reah out and be a blessing to others.
And when we do, we end up receiving more joy and peace than we had before. Joyce
Meyer
345.
God is leading
you to something bigger and better. Joyce Meyer
346.
God is more
concerned about your heart than your performance. If your heart is right, your
performance will eventually catch up. Joyce Meyer
347.
God is never too
busy for you. Joyce Meyer
348.
God is not
glorified by our suffering, but He is glorified when we have a good attitude
during suffering. Joyce Meyer
349.
God is not
looking for someone with a perfect performance, but someone with a right heart.
Joyce Meyer
350.
God is not mad at
you. Joyce Meyer
351.
God is on your
side. “For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble
with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory” (Psalms 149:4). If you
never face trials, you will never have to exercise your faith. But even when
facing hard times, you should not dread life. Isaiah 8:13 says, “The Lord of
Hosts—regard Him as holy and honor His holy name [by
regarding Him as your only hope of safety], and let Him be your fear and let
Him be your dread (lest you offend Him by your fear of man and distrust of
Him). If you dread life and fear people, you are not trusting the Lord to save
you. Keep your reverential fear and awe of God; dread displeasing Him, but
don’t fear anything else. If God is for you, who can be against you? “No, in
all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans
8:37 NIV). Joyce Meyer
352.
God is rarely
ever early, but He is never late according to His timetable. Relax, and
believe, that your times are in His hands. Joyce Meyer
353.
God is so in love
with you! Joyce Meyer
354.
God is speaking
to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for
whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about
whatever it is we’ve done or we are about to do. At times like this, it’s wise
to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions. Joyce
Meyer
355.
God is the
Champion at bringing people from a place of destruction to a place of total
victory. As they reach that place of victory, they become trophies of His
grace. And they are set on the display as a fragrant reminder of God’s
goodness. Joyce Meyer
356.
God is with you,
and He will help you make spiritual progress - strengthening and encouraging
you to keep on keeping on during rough times. It’s easy to quit, but it takes
faith to press on to victory. Joyce Meyer
357.
God is working on
my problems, and I can wait patiently because His timing is perfect. Joyce
Meyer
358.
God knew you! He
knew what He was getting when He drew you into a relationship with Himself. He
already knows the things you will do wrong in the future. God is not as nearly
hard to get along with as you think He is. Joyce Meyer
359.
God knows
everything you’ve been through and He’s able to help and heal you. Joyce
Meyer
360.
God knows me
completely, and yet He loves me. Joyce Meyer
361.
God knows the
mess we’re in when He calls us. His light shines greater through ‘cracked pots’
than it does through those who have it all together. Joyce Meyer
362.
God loves me
unconditionally. Joyce Meyer
363.
God loves us
because that is His nature. He is love (see 1 John 4:8). He may not always love
everything we do, but He does love us. God’s love is the power that forgives
our sins, heals our emotional wounds and mends our broken hearts (see Psalms
147:3). God’s love is unconditional; it is based on Him, not us! Once you
realize that God loves you regardless of what you have or haven’t done, you can
experience incredible breakthrough. You can quit trying to earn His love and
simply receive it and enjoy it. Joyce Meyer
364.
God loves us too
much to leave us alone in our messes and not keep bugging us to do things His
way. Joyce Meyer
365.
God loves you …
He sees you … He understands your pain. You do matter, and the world is a
better place because you’re here! Joyce Meyer
366.
God loves you as
much at this moment than He ever will in your whole life. Joyce Meyer
367.
God loves you as
much on your worst day as He does on your best day. Joyce Meyer
368.
God loves you
because He wants to. There is nothing you can do about it. He just loves you,
and if you want to miss out on it, that’s up to you, but God is going to love
you anyways. Joyce Meyer
369.
God loves you so
much … always has, and always will. Joyce Meyer
370.
God loves you so
much, and with His help you can control your tongue and be led by the Spirit
daily. Joyce Meyer
371.
God meets all of
my needs abundantly. Joyce Meyer
372.
God never meant
for us to strive and struggle. Joyce Meyer
373.
God never
promised a trouble-free life. Joyce Meyer
374.
God never
promises an easy life, but He does promise a blessed life. Joyce Meyer
375.
God never tells
us to do anything without giving us the ability to do it. Joyce Meyer
376.
God not only sees
what you have done, He sees what you will do with His help. Joyce Meyer
377.
God not only sees
where you are right now, but He also sees where you can be. Joyce Meyer
378.
God plants dreams
in people’s hearts. But many people do not continue all the way to the end in
order to follow Him to the fulfillment of that dream. Joyce Meyer
379.
God uses the junk
in other people to pull the junk out of you. Joyce Meyer
380.
God wants to “do
life” with you. That means He wants to be involved in every area, on your heart
and mind, all day long. As you give Him your attention, He will speak to your
heart and guide you with His wisdom. Joyce Meyer
381.
God wants to heal
you everywhere you hurt. Joyce Meyer
382.
God wants to help
us … He loves us … we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at
any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through
things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for
help. Joyce Meyer
383.
God wants to set
you free from battles in the mind and foreboding thoughts, and heal you of
addictive thought patterns and vain imaginations that exalt themselves above
the knowledge of God. Joyce Meyer
384.
God wants to
speak to you on a one-to-one basis every day. He wants to lead you to the good
things He has in store for you. Joyce Meyer
385.
God wants to take
you on the greatest journey of your life. Joyce Meyer
386.
God wants to
teach you how to rest in Him. Everything you do—raising
your children, being a good husband, being a good wife, going to work,
fulfilling God’s call on your life—it all has to be done from a position of rest. Joyce
Meyer
387.
God wants to use
you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier
you will be because you reap what you sow. Joyce Meyer
388.
God wants us to
be totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point. Joyce
Meyer
389.
God wants you to
be delivered from what you have done and what has been done to you. Both are
equally important to Him. Joyce Meyer
390.
God wants you to
enjoy your life now, not when. Joyce Meyer
391.
God wants you to
trust Him to bring victory in every area of your life. By His grace, you can! Joyce
Meyer
392.
God was serious
about me, but there was a time when I wasn’t serious about Him. I finally got
tired of having a mediocre life where I was miserable all the time, so I got
serious with God. Joyce Meyer
393.
God will bring
you to your Promised Land. But first, you have to let go of what lies behind. Joyce
Meyer
394.
God will give us
peace, but we must first give Him our worries. Joyce Meyer
395.
God will give you
the power to have peace in the midst of the storm. Joyce Meyer
396.
God will help us
get where we are going, but He can’t drive a parked car. Joyce Meyer
397.
God will help you
be all you can be, but He will never let you be successful at becoming someone
else. Joyce Meyer
398.
God will meet you
where you are and do something great if you let Him. Joyce Meyer
399.
God will
recompense us double for all the trouble we went through, because He loves
justice. Isaiah 61:7-8 Joyce Meyer
400.
God will take
care of us and give us grace to have joy in the midst of any situation. Joyce
Meyer
401.
God will work
through our weaknesses and do absolutely jaw-dropping, amazing things in and
through us. Joyce Meyer
402.
God works
according to the law of gradual growth. So don’t be discouraged if your
progress seems slow. Joyce Meyer
403.
God, I don’t know
what to do about this situation, but I can’t fix it on my own. If You want me
to do something, I ask You to show me. Meanwhile, I’m going to trust You and
enjoy my life while You work on my problems. Joyce Meyer
404.
God, I don’t want
to waste my time chasing cheap substitutes. You are the only one who can
satisfy. Show me how to daily find my true delight and satisfaction in You and
only You. Joyce Meyer
405.
God’s first line
of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer. Joyce Meyer
406.
God’s grace and
love will help you respond with gentleness and compassion when you’re tempted
to return anger for anger. It’s better to throw water on the spark than fuel
the fire. Joyce Meyer
407.
God’s grace is
amazing! We’re saved by grace – God’s undeserved favor – and we live by grace,
which is also God’s power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own
strength. And it’s all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally,
constantly and completely. Joyce Meyer
408.
God’s grace will
never be available to you to become another person. He created you to be you –
the “best you” you can be! Forget about trying to be someone else. Joyce
Meyer
409.
God’s love for me
is perfect because it’s based on Him and not on me. So even when I failed, He
kept loving me. Joyce Meyer
410.
God’s love is
fresh and new each morning. Joyce Meyer
411.
God’s love is His
free gift to you, and He will heal you everywhere you hurt. Joyce Meyer
412.
God’s love never
changes. Joyce Meyer
413.
God’s not looking
for ability, He’s looking for availability. Joyce Meyer
414.
God’s perfect,
unconditional love and faithfulness are what brought me through all of the
healing, restoration and breakthroughs I desperately needed so I could become
what He created me to be! Joyce Meyer
415.
God’s plan for
your life is good. When you trust Him completely, you can experience total
peace and happiness. Joyce Meyer
416.
God’s power has
given us everything we need to live an amazing godly life. Joyce Meyer
417.
God’s timing
seems to be His own little secret. The Bible promises us that He will never be
late, but I have also discovered that He is usually not early. It seems that He
takes every available opportunity to develop the fruit of patience in us. Joyce
Meyer
418.
God’s
unconditional love is a very difficult concept for people to accept because, in
the world, there’s always payment for everything we receive. It’s just how
things work here. But God is not like people! Joyce Meyer
419.
God’s Word is a
border for my life. As long as I stay within the guidelines laid out in
Scripture, I’ll have what I need to do what I need to do. God is faithful and
true to His Word. Joyce Meyer
420.
God’s Word is
like medicine we need for healing. Joyce Meyer
421.
Good character is
not developed through ease and convenience, but through doing now what needs to
be done no matter how difficult it is. Joyce Meyer
422.
Good intentions
never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut. Joyce Meyer
423.
Good or bad,
clean or dirty, lost or found, every part of your life can be given to God. Joyce
Meyer
424.
Good thinking
begins with a choice. Joyce Meyer
425.
Grace equals
ability. God gives us grace to match our call. When we do our own thing, we do
it on our own. When we follow His leading, He always supplies the grace and the
energy to do what He’s calling us to do. Joyce Meyer
426.
Grace is a gift. Joyce
Meyer
427.
Grace is God
doing for us what we could never do and what we will never deserve. Joyce
Meyer
428.
Grace is God’s
power to help us do whatever it is we need to do. Joyce Meyer
429.
Grace is not the
freedom to sin; it is the power to live a holy life. Joyce Meyer
430.
Grace is the
power of the Holy Spirit coming to us free of charge to enable you to do with
ease what you could never do on your own with any amount of struggle and
effort. Joyce Meyer
431.
Grace justifies
sinners, but it never justifies sin. Joyce Meyer
432.
Grace keeps us
from worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the
present and future. Joyce Meyer
433.
Gratitude is the
shortest path to happiness. Joyce Meyer
434.
Grow fruit, not
just leaves. Joyce Meyer
435.
Growth requires
facing where you’re at so you can go to the next level. Joyce Meyer
436.
H.O.P.E. = Have
Only Positive Expectations
437.
H.O.P.E. = Hold On,
Pain Ends
438.
Happiness is not
a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not
respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness. Joyce Meyer
439.
Harboring
unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die. Joyce
Meyer
440.
Have God make a
message out of your mess. Joyce Meyer
441.
Having a rough
day? Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? It’s called purpose. You’re
alive for a reason. Don’t give up. Joyce Meyer
442.
He hears your
prayers. Joyce Meyer
443.
He is always
ready and waiting to change us from the inside out. Joyce Meyer
444.
He rescued me
because He delighted in me. Joyce Meyer
445.
He wants to lead
you to the good things He has in store for you. Joyce Meyer
446.
He will speak. He
will lead. He will guide. He will make His plans and desires clear. But He will
not force His will on us. We must consciously and deliberately choose to follow
Him. Joyce Meyer
447.
Helplessness is a
place of power if you’re helpless before God. Ask God for help in everything
you do. Joyce Meyer
448.
Here’s some
life-changing news: God will never reject you! Joyce Meyer
449.
Hey you! You’re
beautiful and gorgeous in your own way. Don’t let anyone make you feel ugly,
because you’re perfect just the way you are. Joyce Meyer
450.
His grace is
enough. Joyce Meyer
451.
Hope is favorable
and confident expectation. It’s an expectant attitude that something good is
going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re
facing. Joyce Meyer
452.
How one’s life
turns out is not dependent on what people do to us or what they don’t do for
us. Joyce Meyer
453.
How we think
about ourselves is vitally important to our own self-image and affects every
area of our lives. Joyce Meyer
454.
Humble people ask
for help. Joyce Meyer
455.
Humility is not
something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be
pursued more than any other. Joyce Meyer
456.
Humility may well
be one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us
– and to maintain. That’s because without humility, it’s not likely that you
will put your complete trust in God. Joyce Meyer
457.
I am a
disciplined and self-controlled person. Joyce Meyer
458.
I am bold and
courageous! Joyce Meyer
459.
I am content and
emotionally stable. Joyce Meyer
460.
I am dead to sin
and alive unto righteousness. Joyce Meyer
461.
I am difficult to
offend. Joyce Meyer
462.
I am free! Joyce
Meyer
463.
I am loved. Joyce
Meyer
464.
I am not going to
let my emotions manage me, I am going to manage them. Joyce Meyer
465.
I am not
promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we
want things that God knows would not be good for us. Joyce Meyer
466.
I am radically,
insanely, nutty in love with Jesus! Joyce Meyer
467.
I believe
confidence is all about being positive concerning what you can do – and not
worrying over what you can’t do. A confident person is open to learning,
because she knows that her confidence allows her to walk through life’s
doorways, eager to discover what waits on the other side. She knows that every
new unknown is a chance to learn more about herself and unleash her abilities. Joyce
Meyer
468.
I believe many
people feel like God is mad at them. God is not mad at you, He is madly in love
with you. Joyce Meyer
469.
I believe many
people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that
said, “God is not mad at you.” Within a few hours, we literally had thousands
of positive responses from people saying things like, “That is exactly what I
needed to hear today.” Obviously, this is the message we need to hear. Joyce
Meyer
470.
I believe one of
the best things you can do for an angry person is to show them by example that
there is a better way to live and behave. Joyce Meyer
471.
I believe that a
trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let
go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust
God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for
something … it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting. Joyce
Meyer
472.
I believe that
everyone experiences depression to some degree at some time in their lives. And
there are probably millions of people who live with a low level of sadness and
heaviness day in and day out. Joyce Meyer
473.
I believe we live
in a love-starved society. Everywhere you go there are probably people who
haven’t had the right kind of love in their lives. Joyce Meyer
474.
I can do whatever
I need to do in life through Christ. Joyce Meyer
475.
I can honestly
tell you that without God I would not be who I am today. He has done such an
amazing work in my life and I want everyone to have the same freedom. Joyce
Meyer
476.
I can tell you
from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the
Author of all true success and everything that is good – without Him, we can do
nothing of true value. Joyce Meyer
477.
I can’t very well
be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be
consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you. Joyce Meyer
478.
I consider wisdom
supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God. Joyce
Meyer
479.
I didn’t really
understand the importance of little things. I didn’t really understand that it
was the little foxes that spoil the vine. And if we’re not faithful in little
things, that God will never be able to make us ruler over great things. Joyce
Meyer
480.
I don’t just pray
for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors. Joyce Meyer
481.
I don’t need to
do something important to be important … I am important because God loves me
and He sent Jesus to die for me. Joyce Meyer
482.
I don’t think
even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly
influence at all. Joyce Meyer
483.
I don’t think
there’s anyone who would say they don’t want or need more of God power in their
life. Joyce Meyer
484.
I encourage you
to be a person who is not afraid of responsibility. In meeting resistance, you
will build your strength. If you only do what is easy, you will always remain
weak. Joyce Meyer
485.
I encourage you
to focus on relationship with Jesus rather than the rules of religion. Joyce
Meyer
486.
I encourage you
to form a habit of going to God in prayer the moment anything troubles you. Joyce
Meyer
487.
I enjoy being a
blessing to others. Everything I lay my hand to prospers and succeeds. Joyce
Meyer
488.
I felt like life
was ordering me around rather than me ordering my life, and I knew something
was wrong. Joyce Meyer
489.
I got kicked out
of my church and lost all my friends, but I realized that I had to obey God and
not man. Joyce Meyer
490.
I have discovered
that God will take my mistakes and turn them into miracles, if I continue to
trust confidently in Him! Joyce Meyer
491.
I have hidden
Your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Psalms 119:11). Joyce
Meyer
492.
I have learned
from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some
unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to
understand everything … to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in
control. Joyce Meyer
493.
I have learned
that I really do have discipline, self-control, and patience. But they were
given to me as a seed, and it’s up to me to choose to develop them. Joyce
Meyer
494.
I have to be
willing to finish what I start. God uses committed people who aren’t led by
emotion. It’s easy to be excited in the beginning when something is new, but
the ones who cross the finish line are the ones who hang in there when no one
else is excited anymore. Joyce Meyer
495.
I just really
believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of
us trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to
really be hungry and see their neediness. Joyce Meyer
496.
I just think
overall there’s not as many female ministers than there are male ministers. Joyce
Meyer
497.
I know from
personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and
unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will
die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way. Joyce Meyer
498.
I like gifts. I
like to give them and I like to get them. Joyce Meyer
499.
I like to talk to
myself ahead of time so when temptation comes, I’ve already made up my mind
that I have the victory! Joyce Meyer
500.
I like to work
and am a focused person. Joyce Meyer
501.
I live in the
present and enjoy each moment. Joyce Meyer
502.
I love people and
enjoy helping them. Joyce Meyer
503.
I make mistakes
every day. I’m not perfect in my behavior, but I want to be and that’s what God
is after … a heart that wants to be. Joyce Meyer
504.
I might not be
where I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be. I’m okay and I’m
on my way! Joyce Meyer
505.
I need your help,
Lord, to face the truth about myself. It’s time to stop blaming my problems on
my past and on other people, and to meet them head-on with the power of Your
Word. Empower me to take responsibility and to change for the better. Joyce
Meyer
506.
I pray while
driving. I pray while working, and relaxing. Joyce Meyer
507.
I pursue peace
with God, myself and others. Joyce Meyer
508.
I put God first
in my life. Joyce Meyer
509.
I rescued you
because I (God) delighted in you. Joyce Meyer
510.
I spent most of
the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of
us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves. Joyce Meyer
511.
I tell people,
and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a
car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you
a servant of Christ. Joyce Meyer
512.
I think happiness
is a goal all of us can agree on. Let’s face it – we all would like to be
happy. Joyce Meyer
513.
I think the
perception of peace is what distracts most people from really having it. Joyce
Meyer
514.
I think there’s
more women that watch me than men, but I don’t look at myself as just a
minister to women. My ministry began that way, but I really feel like the Word
of God is for everybody. Joyce Meyer
515.
I trust God
completely, there’s no need to worry. Joyce Meyer
516.
I used to have a
real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I
would attend. Joyce Meyer
517.
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 being happy. Joyce Meyer
518.
I used to worry
about every little thing, trying to figure out every problem. Well, I realize
now how foolish that I was. I was no more in control of my life than the man on
the moon. Joyce Meyer
519.
I want my love
for Jesus to be reflected in the way I show love for others, even those who may
be difficult to love. If I can soften one hard heart with the love of God,
maybe the person will soften another’s heart with love, then that one will
reach out to others, and so on and so on … And soon we’ll have a love
revolution! Joyce Meyer
520.
I want the world
to know I’m totally committed to a living Savior who lives and breathes and
walks in us. Joyce Meyer
521.
I want to
dedicate the rest of my life to spreading the love of Christ. Because God has
done so much for me and has given me this platform to speak into millions of
lives, I feel it is my duty. Joyce Meyer
522.
I want to
encourage you to place yourself totally into God’s hands and allow Him to be
the Manager of your life. Joyce Meyer
523.
I want to let you
in on a little secret: I don’t always feel like I’m a success. That’s right.
There are plenty of times when I feel like I’ve just totally messed up and
failed to connect with the people I’m trying to communicate with. Joyce
Meyer
524.
I want to look my
best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian
you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, do not do anything to your hair,
have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean,
how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, “Yeah,
give me some of that.” Joyce Meyer
525.
I want you to
know how good God is and that your struggle is worth it. Your journey is worth
it. Don’t give up! Don’t give up! Joyce Meyer
526.
I was in a
terrible mess in my childhood. Joyce Meyer
527.
I was in my late
thirties when my eyes were opened to truth in God’s Word that showed me I
wasn’t living the abundant life Jesus died for me to have. I had a very
negative mindset and was miserable most of the time because of the abuse I had
experienced throughout my childhood. Joyce Meyer
528.
I was tormented
with guilt for years and years. In fact, it was so bad that if I didn’t feel
wrong, I didn’t feel right! Joyce Meyer
529.
I will expect
great things! Joyce Meyer
530.
I will not live
in fear. Joyce Meyer
531.
I will rise to
the occasion. Joyce Meyer
532.
I will seek God
first and trust Him to provide my needs. Joyce Meyer
533.
I wonder how many
decisions we make every day. I believe it’s probably hundreds. We decide
whether or not to get out of bed, what we will eat, what we will do, what we
will think about, what we will say … and on and on. Joyce Meyer
534.
I wonder how many
times people give up just before a breakthrough – when they are on the very
brink of success. Joyce Meyer
535.
I wonder how many
whales swallowed me up before I finally said, “God is God, and I might as well
do things His way” (Jonah 1:17). Joyce Meyer
536.
I would rather
stay positive and get fifty percent good results, than stay negative and get
one hundred percent bad results. Joyce Meyer
537.
I’m amazed
sometimes by the Christians who don’t really believe that God wants to help
them and bless them. Joyce Meyer
538.
I’m going to
hope, believe and step out on the promises of God. Joyce Meyer
539.
I’m just telling
you, God permit things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not
understand yet because of the spiritual level that we’re on. We can’t have any
understanding of it, because we’re not at a place of spiritual growth yet where
we understand the deeper things of God. Joyce Meyer
540.
I’m not
responsible to make everybody like me; I’m responsible to be the unique person
God created me to be. Joyce Meyer
541.
I’m nothing
without You, but everything in You. Joyce Meyer
542.
I’m only going to
stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else’s life.
If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there’s no point in me blaming you
for what’s wrong in my life. Joyce Meyer
543.
I’m putting God
first. Joyce Meyer
544.
I’m ready to say
“I’m sorry”. Joyce Meyer
545.
I’m sure most
parents read to their children to explain what certain things mean. So books
are a good way to convey a message to anybody. Everybody reads. Joyce Meyer
546.
I’ve been saying
for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning
box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday
morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency,
but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Joyce Meyer
547.
I’ve been
studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years
or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any
progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I
didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere. Joyce Meyer
548.
I’ve discovered
that when we take time to renew our minds with God’s Word, we learn how to
think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act. Joyce
Meyer
549.
I’ve learned that
life is tough, but I’m tougher. Joyce Meyer
550.
I’ve learned that
usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am. Joyce
Meyer
551.
I’ve learned
through my relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect. He
wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads
me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart. Joyce Meyer
552.
I’ve taught a lot
about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God. Joyce
Meyer
553.
If God asks you
to do something hard, it’s only going to make things better. Joyce Meyer
554.
If God be for us,
who can be against us? Joyce Meyer
555.
If God can’t get
you to obey Him concerning your money, He won’t get to anything else you’ve
got. Joyce Meyer
556.
If God changes
your heart, be willing to change your plans. Joyce Meyer
557.
If God has placed
you in a situation, He is going to give you a special grace to be there. Joyce
Meyer
558.
If Jesus could
satisfy a hungry crowd, just imagine what He could do for your hungry soul. Joyce
Meyer
559.
If Satan can
defeat you in your thoughts, then he can defeat you anywhere else. Joyce
Meyer
560.
If selfishness is
the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy! Joyce
Meyer
561.
If shame is
attacking you, it’s time to remember the truth: God loves you, and if you’ll
believe in, adhere to, trust in and rely on Him, He will take your shame away. Joyce
Meyer
562.
If someone
decides they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to
spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided
to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by
playing into their self-pity. Joyce Meyer
563.
If someone has
offended you, start sowing forgiveness. You may need some yourself someday. Joyce
Meyer
564.
If someone you
know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn’t mean you have to
allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else’s bad
decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery? Joyce Meyer
565.
If the only place
we feel God’s victory is in church, then we have a problem. Joyce Meyer
566.
If we are hungry
enough for God, we will find a way into His Presence. We should be so hungry
for the Presence of God that we absolutely will not go out of our house or
tackle any kind of project until we have spent some time with Him. Joyce
Meyer
567.
If we are not
thinking, hoping or asking for anything, we are cheating ourselves. We need to
think BIG thoughts, hope for BIG things, and ask for BIG things! Joyce Meyer
568.
If we are to
receive the blessings God wants to bestow upon us, we must be willing to give
Him the messes in our lives. Joyce Meyer
569.
If we continue to
believe God and place our trust in Him, bad things ultimately give way to
better things. Joyce Meyer
570.
If we didn’t
struggle through some things, we would never develop the strength and stamina
we need to survive in this world. Joyce Meyer
571.
If we do our
best, God will do the rest. Joyce Meyer
572.
If we live a
self-directed, self-motivated, self-centered life, always needing to get our
own way, then we’re going to be miserable. In fact, many times we believe it’s
our problems that are making us unhappy when, in reality, it’s because we’re
focused on ourselves! Joyce Meyer
573.
If we make right
spiritual decisions-deciding to put God first in all things-then the rest of
our decisions will be easier. Joyce Meyer
574.
If we must
constantly hurry to get everything done, then we are doing too much. Joyce
Meyer
575.
If we want
constant victory, we need to take God out of our “emergency only” box and
invite Him into our everyday lives. Joyce Meyer
576.
If we want to be
like Jesus, we need to love others with the same kind of gracious, forgiving,
generous, unconditional love He extends to us. Joyce Meyer
577.
If we want to
pour out God’s love into the lives of our children, we must first receive it
for ourselves. Joyce Meyer
578.
If we will do
what we can do, God will do what we cannot do. Joyce Meyer
579.
If we’re not
actively doing what is right, it becomes very easy for the devil to get us to
do what is wrong. Joyce Meyer
580.
If we’re really
honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people,
and this is what is causing us to do what we do. Joyce Meyer
581.
If you accept
what people call you, you will start to believe it. Find your identity in
Christ, not in what others say. Joyce Meyer
582.
If you act on
your faith, your feelings will catch up. Joyce Meyer
583.
If you allow
God’s Word to shape your thoughts, it will also shape your life. Joyce Meyer
584.
If you are
accused of being a Christian, there should be enough evidence to convict you. Joyce
Meyer
585.
If you are angry
at anyone, let it go right now and be happy today! Joyce Meyer
586.
If you are facing
a new challenge, or being asked to do something that you have never done
before, don’t be afraid to step out. You have more capability that you think
you do, but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for
more. Joyce Meyer
587.
If you are
faithful to take small steps day after day, one day you’ll look back and be
amazed at how far you have traveled. Joyce Meyer
588.
If you are going
to love, then you also have to be open to getting hurt and being disappointed. Joyce
Meyer
589.
If you are
holding onto any unforgiveness against yourself or others, you will miss the
joy God wants you to have. Let it go! Joyce Meyer
590.
If you are too
busy for God, then you are just too busy. Joyce Meyer
591.
If you ask God to
give you a new dream, I believe He will. Joyce Meyer
592.
If you can help a
child, you don’t have to spend years repairing an adult. Joyce Meyer
593.
If you can manage
to be thankful in every situation, really believing that God is working
everything out for your good, you will end up with the victory every single
time. Joyce Meyer
594.
If you can’t
control what you think, you will not be able to control what you do. Joyce
Meyer
595.
If you can’t
learn to enjoy your life when you have problems, you may never enjoy it because
we’ll always have problems. Joyce Meyer
596.
If you change
your mind, you can change your life. Joyce Meyer
597.
If you don’t
develop your potential, you are robbing the world of the gifts God has given
you. Joyce Meyer
598.
If you don’t
learn to control your thoughts, you will never learn how to control your
behavior. Joyce Meyer
599.
If you don’t like
yourself, you’re going to have a really hard time getting along with anyone
else. Joyce Meyer
600.
If you don’t love
yourself and if you don’t know that God loves you then you are always going to
look to other people to make you feel good about yourself, and nothing destroys
a relationship like that because the other person feels manipulated and controlled
all the time to keep that insecure person happy. Joyce Meyer
601.
If you don’t love
yourself, it’s impossible for you to love others. You can’t give away what you
don’t have. Joyce Meyer
602.
If you follow
God’s leadership, you will have peace, joy and righteousness. Joyce Meyer
603.
If you forgive
others before you go to sleep, freedom from wrong attitudes in your heart will
help you start your day right the next day. Joyce Meyer
604.
If you hang out
with God long enough, He’ll equip you to do things you didn’t know you could
do. Joyce Meyer
605.
If you know how
to worry, you know how to meditate. It means to think of something over and
over. Joyce Meyer
606.
If you know who
you are in Christ, it won’t matter so much to you what other people think. Joyce
Meyer

the edge, something will always happen to help the devil push you over the
edge. Joyce Meyer

what is easy, then you will always remain weak. Joyce Meyer

heart in God’s hands, He will place your heart in the hands of a worthy person.

trust in God, then you can enjoy your life while God is solving your problem. Joyce

being thankful for small things, you will soon have big things to be thankful
for. Joyce Meyer
612.
If you stay busy
thinking about right things, the devil won’t be able to fill your mind with
wrong things. Joyce Meyer
613.
If you struggle
with anger, try this when you wake up in the morning. Consciously say, “I am
going out today without anger. I am taking love, mercy, and forgiveness with me
and will use them generously when needed.” Joyce Meyer
614.
If you wait for
perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. Joyce Meyer
615.
If you want joy
to operate in your life, you’ll have to learn how to forgive … and forget. Joyce
Meyer
616.
If you want to be
free, just start doing what God wants you to do, one step at a time, and you’ll
eventually walk about of your messes. Joyce Meyer
617.
If you want to be
miserable, all you have to do is be selfish. Joyce Meyer
618.
If you want to
become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you
will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant
to be yours. Joyce Meyer
619.
If you want to
get free, you have to first get honest. Joyce Meyer
620.
If you want to
get over a problem, stop talking about it. Your mind affects your mouth and
your mouth affects your mind. It’s difficult to stop talking about a situation
until you stop thinking about it. Joyce Meyer
621.
If you want to
have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but
you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the
future. Joyce Meyer
622.
If you want to
have the beautiful life Christ wants you to have, you can’t dwell on all the
junk everyone’s done to you your whole life. Joyce Meyer
623.

live in the fullness of God’s anointing, fill your mouth with His Word. Joyce

God wants, there is no devil in hell that can keep you from getting it. Joyce
Meyer
626.
If you will do
what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that
can keep you from having what God wants you to have. Joyce Meyer
627.
If you will do
what you can do, God will do what you cannot do. Joyce Meyer
628.
If you will make
time with God your first priority, everything else in your life will fall into
place. Joyce Meyer
629.

feeding your feelings, then they will stop controlling you. Joyce Meyer
630.

to God’s business, He will tend to yours. Joyce Meyer

If you’ll fight
like a Christian overcoming evil with good, you’ll win every battle. Joyce
Meyer

If you’re going
through a difficult time, start believing God will work things out for your
good. Joyce Meyer
633.
If you’re hurting
spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, or in your relationships … I
want you to grasp hold of what I’m about to say: There is no area of your life
that God doesn’t care about. Joyce Meyer
634.
If you’re in a
workplace you don’t like right now, be encouraged because God will use it for
your good. Think about it this way: He wants you to be a light in the darkness
– and He’s putting His confidence in you! Joyce Meyer
635.
If you’re missing
joy and peace, you’re not trusting God. Joyce Meyer
636.
If you’re not
careful to think and speak words of faith, worry will creep in, and it will not
only steal your peace and joy, it will steal your ‘today’. The present is the
greatest gift God ever gives us. So hold on to the peace that’s yours in
Christ. Don’t let it go. Joyce Meyer
637.
If you’re strong
enough on the inside, you can handle anything that comes at you on the outside.
Joyce Meyer
638.
If you’ve been
married to fear, it’s time to break up! Joyce Meyer

life is not producing what you would like on the outside, don’t be discouraged
… just be willing to change. Joyce Meyer
640.
Imagine how free
we would be if we just lived for God and didn’t worry about what others think
about us? Joyce Meyer
641.
In His love for
us, God sent Jesus to earth to deliver us from the power and authority of the
enemy. Jesus is Lord over all; He has put all things under His feet. Because we
are “In Christ” as believers, the only place Satan has in our lives is under
our feet! Joyce Meyer
642.
In my opinion,
people give up far too easily, and I would love to see people be a lot more
persistent believe I believe that persistence pays off. Get your life off of
hold. Get it out of park and start driving. Passivity is the devil’s
playground. He loves it when we shrink back in fear and do absolutely nothing.
He loves it but we don’t. We may think we are safe, but actually we end up
miserable. God has created us for progress, movement, mystery and having goals
and reaching them. We are cheating ourselves if we don’t boldly go for all God
has in mind for us. Joyce Meyer
643.
In my
relationship with God, I’ve learned that if I follow a ‘formula’ for how I
spend my time with Him, then I’m just accomplishing a checklist of things I
feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about
doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful. Joyce
Meyer
644.
In the midst of
your battles, never forget that God loves you and He has a plan for you. Joyce
Meyer
645.
Indifference
makes an excuse, but love finds a way. Joyce Meyer
646.
Individuals need
to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want
out of life. Joyce Meyer
647.
Insecure people
say “yes”, when they really mean “no”. Those who succeed at being themselves
don’t allow others to control them. They are led by their heart, not by the
fear of displeasing others or being rejected by them. Joyce Meyer
648.
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
649.
Instead of
blaming everyone and everything else for your problems, pray for God to help
you take an inventory of what’s been on your mind so you can think about what
you’ve been thinking about. Joyce Meyer
650.
Instead of
concentrating on your problems and getting discouraged, focus on God and
meditate on His promises for you. You may have fallen down, but you don’t have
to stay down. God is ready, willing and able to pick you up. Joyce Meyer
651.
Instead of
judging people, we need to pray. Joyce Meyer
652.
Instead of
saying, “Lord, I don’t know how I am going to do this”, say, “Lord, I can’t
wait to see how You do this!” Joyce Meyer
653.
Integrity means
that you are the same in public as you are in private. Joyce Meyer
654.
Is all anger sin?
No, but some of it is. Even God Himself has righteous anger against sin,
injustice, rebellion and pettiness. Joyce Meyer
655.
Is your problem
really your problem, or is it your attitude towards the problem that is your
problem? Joyce Meyer
656.
It changes
everything in your life when you know that God loves you unconditionally. Joyce
Meyer
657.
It confuses the
devil when he throws his best shot at you and all you do is praise and worship.
Joyce Meyer
658.
It does not
matter what you have done, or what has been done to you. The past remains in
the past. God has a great future for you! Joyce Meyer
659.
It doesn’t help
God when I read my Bible. It helps me. Joyce Meyer
660.
It doesn’t matter
who doesn’t love us. God loves us! Joyce Meyer
661.
It is a new day,
and God’s mercy is new every morning. Joyce Meyer
662.
It is God’s will
to bless us, but not necessarily on our terms. Sometimes what we think would be
a wonderful blessing would not bless us at all. Joyce Meyer
663.
It is impossible
to be both selfish and happy. Joyce Meyer
664.
It is not about
reading the Word, it’s about obeying the Word. Joyce Meyer
665.
It is our job to
listen to God and let Him tell us what is going on and what we are to do about
it – leaving the rest to Him to work out according to His knowledge and will,
not ours. Joyce Meyer
666.
It is sad that
today many times people give up in the hard times and never get to enjoy the
fruit of all their labor. Joyce Meyer
667.
It is so
wonderful and comforting to know that when everyone else only sees our faults,
God still sees our possibilities. Joyce Meyer
668.
It is time to
renew your mind and become the person God wants you to be in every area of
life. Joyce Meyer
669.
It is very
helpful during difficult times to remember they won’t last forever. Joyce
Meyer
670.
It is very
inexpensive to give a compliment. Joyce Meyer
671.
It is vitally
important that before you try to change your behavior, you know who you are in
Christ. Joyce Meyer
672.
It pleases our
Heavenly Father when we acknowledge and confess to Him our inability to run our
own lives. That is what we are doing when we say, “Father, help me! I need
You!” Joyce Meyer
673.
It seems like a
lot of people seek their peace in things. And most of us are not even satisfied
with the things we have … we always want more. Joyce Meyer
674.
It’s a lot easier
to make the right choice when you are focusing on God and your victory instead
of the fear of failure. Joyce Meyer
675.
It’s amazing if
you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do
for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take
notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do,
then I try to do that to add joy to their life. Joyce Meyer
676.
It’s amazing to
me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won’t lift a
finger to help at home! Joyce Meyer
677.
It’s better to
have a big goal and reach half of it, than to have no goal and reach all of it.
Joyce Meyer
678.
It’s certainly
not wrong to want to be a better person. God gave us that desire. Joyce
Meyer
679.
It’s easy to give
people what they deserve, but it’s a privilege to give them mercy. Joyce
Meyer
680.
It’s important to
have a relationship with God. He’s the only one that can get down inside of you
and heal what needs to be healed inside. Joyce Meyer
681.
It’s important to
realize that just because you are alone, it doesn’t mean that you must be
lonely or lonesome. Joyce Meyer
682.
It’s important to
understand that whenever we excel in any area, it is only because God has given
us the gift of grace to do it. The moment we think we’ve accomplished great
things in our own strength, we’re getting into pride. Joyce Meyer
683.
It’s impossible
to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional
creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives. Joyce Meyer
684.
It’s just human
nature to try and figure things out. So when we’re in the midst of a situation,
we usually try to reason our way through it. Joyce Meyer
685.
It’s just not a
call to action, it’s a call to being … being a person who helps a friend in
need … who helps a stranger in need … who practices aggressive acts of
kindness. Joyce Meyer
686.
It’s like a jar
of salad dressing sitting on a shelf … most of the seasoning settles to the
bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients
mix together and then the dressing can add flavor to a salad. In the same way,
we can stir ourselves up and regain the reverence, respect and awe we once had
for the Lord. Joyce Meyer
687.
It’s never too
late for a new beginning in your life. Joyce Meyer
688.
It’s not that we
don’t have faith, it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with
lies. Joyce Meyer
689.
It’s one thing to
say you believe. It’s another thing to have your faith tested severely and come
out on the other side of it still believing God. Joyce Meyer
690.
It’s so amazing
to know that God is always with us, giving us His grace for everything we need
to do in life. Joyce Meyer
691.
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. Joyce Meyer
692.
It’s so important
to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy.
Losing your cool makes you tired. Getting angry a lot messes with your health. Joyce
Meyer
693.
It’s true my
father abused me and didn’t love and protect me the way he should have, and at
times it seemed no one would ever help me and it would never end. But God
always had a plan for my life, and He has redeemed me. Joyce Meyer
694.
Jesus came so
that we would be like oak trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord. The
oak tree is one of the most strong and stable trees, and endures the winds and
storms. Its roots go deep. It starts out small, but eventually grows into a
very large tree giving shade to others. Isaiah 61:3
695.
Jesus came to
heal everything in your life that’s broken and to restore everything the enemy
has taken. Joyce Meyer
696.
Jesus came to
heal the brokenhearted, to set the captives free, to release those who are
bound in a prison and to comfort all who mourn. Luke 4:18 and Isaiah 61:1-8
697.
Jesus can heal
whatever it is you can’t talk about. Joyce Meyer
698.
Jesus designed us
to be fruitful, not busy. Joyce Meyer
699.
Jesus did not die
to give us a religion. He died so that through faith in Him, we could have an
intimate relationship with God. Joyce Meyer
700.
Jesus didn’t die
for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not. Joyce Meyer
701.
Jesus died to
give us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness. Isaiah 61:3
702.
Jesus died to set
us free and one of the greatest freedoms we have is the freedom of choice. Joyce
Meyer
703.
Jesus is a Divine
guest inside of you all the time – one who loves, understands, sees and hears
you. He wants to live in oneness with you … to be the centerpiece of everything
you do. Joyce Meyer
704.
Jesus is not only
with you, but He is for you. Joyce Meyer
705.
Jesus never
mistreated anyone just because they mistreated Him. He confronted them in a
spirit of gentleness and then continued to love them. Joyce Meyer
706.
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
707.
Jesus talked back
to the devil and you can too. Joyce Meyer
708.
Joy comes from a
decision to appreciate each moment as a rare and precious gift from God. Joyce
Meyer
709.
Just because we
don’t see anything doesn’t mean God’s not working. Joyce Meyer
710.
Just because
what’s going on in your life right now doesn’t feel good, doesn’t mean God’s
not working. Joyce Meyer
711.
Just because you
can’t see it yet, doesn’t mean it’s not on its way. Joyce Meyer
712.
Just because you
feel fear doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Do it afraid. Joyce Meyer
713.
Just because you
had a bad start, doesn’t mean you can’t have a good finish. Joyce Meyer
714.

let God be God. Joyce Meyer
715.

negativity! Joyce Meyer

walk one step at a time. Joyce Meyer

going in the right direction, and your life will catch up to it. Joyce Meyer

Christian, your destiny is to be Christlike in all of your ways. Joyce Meyer

vitally important in the battle against stress, anxiety, fear and worry. Joyce

mistakes. Joyce Meyer

recognize God in the smallest and most ordinary things and your life will be
amazingly exciting. Joyce Meyer

for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to
train yourself to do it. Joyce Meyer
728.
Let go and let
God. Joyce Meyer
729.
Let go of the
past and grab on to your future. Joyce Meyer
730.
Let God be your
Source of comfort. In the future, when you are hurting, just ask Him to comfort
you. Then wait in His Presence while He works in your heart and emotions. He
will not fail you if you will only give Him a chance to come to your aid. Joyce
Meyer
731.
Let prayer be
your first response and not your last resort. Joyce Meyer
732.
Let the past
remain in the past. Every day with God is a new day! Joyce Meyer
733.
Let us be
determined to look for God in all things at all times. Joyce Meyer
734.
Let’s be as
forgiving of others as we are of ourselves. Joyce Meyer
735.
Let’s stop
comparing ourselves with other people and trying to find ways that we’re better
than them, because none of us are anything without Jesus Christ. I like to say
I’m an everything nothing. I’m nothing in myself but everything in Christ. Joyce
Meyer
736.
Life is real and
problems are real. Bring Jesus into your real life today, not just on Sunday. Joyce
Meyer
737.
Life is really
hard when we keep trying to do what only God can do. Joyce Meyer

very complicated, but we can purposely learn to enjoy the simple yet powerful
and beautiful things God has created! Joyce Meyer

without strife! Joyce Meyer

God, not people. You have His approval, and that is all you really need! Joyce
Meyer
743.
Lord my future is
in your hands. In reality, I can’t truly control anything. I humble myself
before You and cast my cares into Your hands. Thank You for Your care. Amen. Joyce
Meyer
744.
Lord, I am
confident today because my confidence is rooted and grounded in You. On my own,
I will fall on my face. My trust is in You. Joyce Meyer
745.
Lord, thank You
for forgiveness. Joyce Meyer
746.
Lord, thank You
for rest. Joyce Meyer
747.
Love and
Self-Control are the bookends of the Fruit of the Spirit. Remove one of them,
and the rest will fall over. Joyce Meyer
748.
Love can melt the
hardest heart, heal the wounds of a broken heart and quiet the fears of the
anxious heart. Joyce Meyer
749.
Love gives life
purpose and meaning. Joyce Meyer
750.
Love is and has
always been His idea. He came to love us and to teach us how to love. When we
do this, life is exciting, beautiful and rewarding. Joyce Meyer
751.
Love is costly;
it requires an effort. But it is the thing Jesus has called us to do. Joyce
Meyer
752.
Love is not a
mere feeling. It’s a decision about how we will behave and treat people. Joyce
Meyer
753.
Love is not
something God does – it’s who He is. Joyce Meyer
754.
Love is not talk
or theory; it’s action. In fact, the Bible says that we cannot be walking in
love if we see a brother in need, have what it takes to meet his need, and will
not do anything to help him. Joyce Meyer
755.
Love is something
that can be seen and felt. It can change lives. It can make a difference for
people. Joyce Meyer
756.

differences in people. A selfish person expects everyone to be just the way he
is and to like whatever he likes. Joyce Meyer
758.
Love your life
because it is the only one you have! Joyce Meyer
759.
Loving others
always costs us something and requires effort. And you have to decide to do it
on purpose. You can’t wait for a feeling to motivate you. Joyce Meyer
760.
Loving people is
the highest level of spiritual warfare that we could ever do. Joyce Meyer
761.
Maintaining a
good attitude in the midst of something unpleasant is the key to victory. It
enables us to enjoy the journey. Joyce Meyer
762.
Make a decision
right now that you will never be satisfied with being anything less than all
you can be! Joyce Meyer
763.
Make an agreement
with God to never again speak negative things about yourself. Joyce Meyer
764.
Make happiness a
habit. Be so happy you drive the devil stark-raving mad. Joyce Meyer
765.
Make up your mind
that you’re not going to quit until you see the fruit that God has placed
within you. Joyce Meyer
766.
Make your
marriage your first priority. When you wake up in the morning, think of one
thing you can do for your spouse to make their day better. Joyce Meyer
767.
Many Christians
suffer because they’re too busy seeking carnal knowledge instead of the Word of
God. Joyce Meyer
768.
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
769.
Many people in
the western world are spoiled by the conveniences of our culture. Joyce
Meyer
770.
Many people never
step out; therefore, they never find out what they are capable of. Joyce
Meyer
771.
Many
sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense. Joyce Meyer
772.
Many times in our
life, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into dirt by the decisions we make
and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our
value in God’s eyes. Joyce Meyer
773.
May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may
overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Joyce Meyer
774.
Meditate on
Scripture. Thank about what you read throughout the day. Joyce Meyer
775.
Meekness is not
weakness, it’s strength under control. Joyce Meyer
776.
Merely refusing
to give up is a victory in itself. Joyce Meyer
777.
Mind, mouth,
attitude, mood. Joyce Meyer
778.
Miracles come in
cans, not can’ts. Joyce Meyer
779.
Most of us have
hoped and prayed for something to happen in a certain way, but it didn’t. And
when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense towards God
or to trust Him anyways. Joyce Meyer
780.
Motives reveal
why we do what we do, which is actually more important to God than what we’re
doing. Joyce Meyer
781.
Much of everyday
life is filled with opportunities to be distracted. Our possessions …
entertainment … cares and anxieties … and even the passionate desire and
pursuit of things, some good and not so good, can keep our minds and hearts
caught up in a flurry of activity. Joyce Meyer
782.
My attitude
belongs to me, and I can decide what it’s going to be. Joyce Meyer
783.
My father was a
mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was
unpredictable and unstable. As a result, the atmosphere of our home was
super-charged with fear because you never knew if what you did would make him
mad or not. Joyce Meyer
784.
My father was a
negative person. He actually taught me to be negative, if that makes any sense.
I remember him saying: “You know there’s no point in expecting anything good to
happen because it won’t.” I grew up in such a negative atmosphere. Joyce
Meyer
785.
My hope is that
God will have changed people’s lives through me for the better. Joyce Meyer
786.
My purpose in
life is to do right and to glorify God. Joyce Meyer
787.
Negative minds
full of fear and doubt produce negative lives, which can ultimately destroy
your life. Joyce Meyer
788.
Never compare
yourself to others. Joyce Meyer
789.
Never stop
dreaming. Joyce Meyer
790.
New level, new
devil! Joyce Meyer
791.
No hole is too
deep. No mountain is too high. I can do this! Joyce Meyer
792.
No matter how
hard your past has been, God has a good future for you. Joyce Meyer
793.
No matter how
many times you mess up, God is always there to give you a fresh start. Joyce
Meyer
794.
No matter how
wounded we are when we begin our journey toward wholeness, God has guaranteed
our success as long as we don’t give up. Joyce Meyer
795.
No matter what is
going on in your life right now, don’t lose hope. Your breakthrough is coming. Joyce
Meyer
796.
No matter what
you may be facing right now or what comes up in the future, remember two
things: God is with you, and He is in control. Joyce Meyer
797.
No matter what
you’re going through, there’s no pit so deep that God can’t reach in and get
you out. Joyce Meyer
798.
No one – not even
God, can promise that we will never have to deal with disappointment or
trouble. But the important thing is that we never stop hoping. Maintaining a
positive attitude and holding on to the hope we have in Christ puts us in a
position to see God’s miracle-working power. Joyce Meyer
799.
Nobody can ever
say that being negative ever helped them at all – not in any way. Joyce
Meyer
800.
Nobody has to let
their past affect their future. Joyce Meyer
801.
Nobody is in
charge of your happiness except you. Joyce Meyer
802.
Nobody likes to
have trouble. The moment we get a hint that it’s coming, a common response is,
“Oh no, not again!” Joyce Meyer
803.
Not everyone
loves me, but I have to be okay no matter what they think about me. Joyce
Meyer
804.
Not only has your
past been paid for, your future has been provided for. Joyce Meyer
805.
Note to self:
Pick your battles. Joyce Meyer
806.
Nothing will make
sense if you are not centered on God first. Joyce Meyer
807.
Nothing will
soften you like being in the Presence of God, recognizing His love, and seeing
all the things He does for you. Joyce Meyer
808.
Now, we can’t
stop the devil from coming against us, but we can overcome him each time – if
we exercise the authority of Jesus and decide not to put up with him. Joyce
Meyer
809.
Obedience to God
is the pathway to the life you really want to live. Joyce Meyer
810.
Obedience with
murmuring is not genuine obedience at all. Joyce Meyer
811.
Obeying God is
the answer to straightening out every problem that you have. Joyce Meyer
812.
Often, the things
we don’t like about ourselves are the things God wants to use the most! Joyce
Meyer
813.
Once I realized
that right thinking is vital to victorious living, I got more serious about
thinking about what I was thinking about, and choosing my thoughts carefully. Joyce
Meyer
814.
Once we know the
Word of God, we have a responsibility to be obedient to it. Joyce Meyer
815.
Once we
understand how God sees us through Christ, we can refrain from caring what
people think about us, and feeling bad about ourselves. We don’t have to be
addicted to their approval, because we already have God’s. Joyce Meyer
816.
Once you realize
that you are loved by God, not because of anything you are or anything you have
done, then you can quit trying to deserve His love or earn His love and simply
receive it and enjoy it. Joyce Meyer
817.
One might say
that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and
the attitudes we have. Joyce Meyer
818.
One mistake
doesn’t have to rule a person’s entire life. Joyce Meyer
819.
One of the best
gifts we can give ourselves is time alone with God. Joyce Meyer
820.
One of the best
ways to discern whether you really know something is to ask yourself whether
you’re doing it or not. Joyce Meyer
821.
One of the best
ways to walk in love is to be a blessing to other people or simply to help
them. Joyce Meyer
822.
One of the
ingredients of forming good habits and breaking bad ones is focusing on what
you want to do and not on what you want to stop doing. Joyce Meyer
823.
One of the
reasons why so many people have pressure in their lives is that they are trying
to do things that God has not anointed them to do. Joyce Meyer
824.
One of the things
I love most about being at home is that I am comfortable there. And since we
are the home of Christ, we need to make sure He’s comfortable in us. Joyce
Meyer
825.
Our desire for
approval can only truly be met by receiving God’s acceptance and approval of
us. Joyce Meyer
826.
Our enemy, the
devil, wants to control us, and His target is our will. The main way he tries
to influence our will is through lying to us. Joyce Meyer
827.
Our faith is
released as we say, pray and do the Word. Joyce Meyer
828.
Our feelings are
real and powerful. But they are not more powerful than God and the truth. Joyce
Meyer
829.
Our feelings are
unreliable and cannot be trusted to convey truth. Joyce Meyer
830.
Our joy does not
have to be based on our circumstances. Joyce Meyer
831.
Our part is to
trust God and His part is to provide the answer we need! Joyce Meyer
832.
Our past
experiences may have made us the way we are, but we don’t have to stay that
way. Joyce Meyer
833.
Our past may
explain why we’re suffering, but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in
bondage. Joyce Meyer
834.
Our problems are
God’s opportunities. Joyce Meyer
835.
Our thoughts are
silent words that only we and the Lord hear, but those words affect our inner
man, our health, our joy and our attitude. The things we think about often come
out of our mouths and sometimes make us look foolish, but if we live God’s way,
our thoughts and words can make out lives more enjoyable. Don’t make the
mistake of thinking that you can let your thought life run in any worldly
direction, and then “fake it" by speaking godly words. Either both are
pleasing or both are negative and sinful. There is no middle ground. Joyce
Meyer
836.
Our thoughts
create the mold for our actions. Joyce Meyer
837.
Our weakness is
one of our greatest excuses. We may be weak, but God is strong, and He is
willing to be our strength. Joyce Meyer
838.
Our words will
either bring life and victory or death and destruction. If we want to be happy,
we have to be serious about speaking words of life that line up with God’s
Word. Joyce Meyer
839.
Over the years
I’ve learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has
nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my
ministry and my life. Joyce Meyer
840.
Over the years,
I’ve learned that a confident person doesn’t concentrate or focus on their
weaknesses – they maximize their strengths. Joyce Meyer
841.
P.U.S.H. Pray
Until Something Happens. Joyce Meyer
842.
Patience is a
fruit of the Spirit that grows only under trial. It is useless to pray for
patience. Well, actually I encourage you to pray for patience, but I’ll tell
you what you’ll get: TRIALS. Joyce Meyer
843.
Patience is not
the ability to wait, but how you act while you’re waiting. Joyce Meyer
844.
Patience is not
the ability to wait. Waiting is a fact of life. Patience is the ability to keep
a good attitude while waiting. Joyce Meyer
845.
Peace is
amazingly wonderful, and turmoil is amazingly terrible. We need to have peace! Joyce
Meyer
846.
Peace is one of
the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many
years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable. Joyce Meyer
847.
People brag about
living in the fast lane, but truthfully, that’s where all the accidents happen.
Joyce Meyer
848.
People can’t see
what’s in your heart. They can only see what you do. Joyce Meyer
849.
People full of
purpose make the most of the time and talents God has given them. Joyce
Meyer
850.
People who don’t
know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and
slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with
Him. Joyce Meyer
851.
People who pity
themselves think, “Why would I try to do anything? I’ll just fail.” Joyce
Meyer
852.
Perfectionists
demand perfection from themselves first and foremost. Joyce Meyer
853.
Perhaps we could
enjoy ordinary, everyday life more if we learned to celebrate the ordinary. Joyce
Meyer
854.
Personally, I am
looking for God to show me where He would like me to give or make a difference
in someone else’s life. I wake up every day and ask God how He would like me to
be a blessing to someone that day. Joyce Meyer
855.
Peter was the
only one who walked on water besides Jesus, but he was also the only one who
got out of the boat. Until you make a decision to believe, and then act on it,
nothing will happen. Joyce Meyer
856.
Place your
desires before God. Pray about them and trust God to give them to you if and
when they are right for you. Joyce Meyer
857.
Positive minds
full of faith and hope produce positive lives. Joyce Meyer
858.
Positive minds
produce positive lives. Negative words produce negative lives. Positive
thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Negative thoughts are always full
of fear and doubt. Joyce Meyer
859.
Positive minds
that agree with God’s Word produce positive, peaceful lives. Joyce Meyer
860.
Potential is a
priceless treasure, like gold. All of us have gold hidden within, but we have
to dig to get it out. Joyce Meyer
861.
Power Thought: I
can rest in God and keep my peace no matter what is going on in my life. Joyce
Meyer
862.
Praise your way
to victory! Joyce Meyer
863.
Pray about
everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Joyce
Meyer
864.
Pray and obey,
obey and pray, pray and obey, obey and pray. Joyce Meyer
865.
Pray and Say. Joyce
Meyer
866.
Pray boldly,
expectantly, specifically. Your Heavenly Father loves you, so don’t be afraid
to be bold in prayer. Joyce Meyer
867.
Pray, Pray, Pray,
Pray, Pray about everything! Joyce Meyer
868.
Prayer changes
more than things … it changes you! Joyce Meyer
869.
Prayer doesn’t
just change things – it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly
and surely we become better people. Joyce Meyer
870.
Prayer for today:
“God, what can I do for You today?” Joyce Meyer
871.
Prayer is simply
talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day. Joyce
Meyer
872.
Prayer is such a
basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we
communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, both
young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say that they are not
satisfied with their prayer life. Joyce Meyer
873.
Prayer Starter:
“God, I know that true happiness comes from giving, not receiving. I want to
live the life of true happiness that comes from forgetting about my selfish
desires and seeking to give to those around me.” Today, find someone you can
give to. No matter how big or small your gift, whether it's money, time or
encouragement, just give what you have. Experience the true happiness that
comes from giving. Joyce Meyer
874.
Prayer Starter:
“Lord, my worrying really doesn’t accomplish anything, so I leave it behind.
I’m so thankful that You can fix what I can’t. You calm me down and cheer me
up!” Joyce Meyer
875.
Prayer Starter:
God, I come to You through the Blood of Jesus that cleanses me of my sin. Thank
You for Your forgiveness. I refuse to live in shame because I know I can draw
near to You now, receiving Your love and forgiveness. Joyce Meyer
876.
Prayer Starter:
God, thank You for the gift of a new day. Instead of focusing on the
frustrating things in life, I choose to be in peace in You, and rejoice and be
glad in it! Joyce Meyer
877.
Pride is an
independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get
along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we
mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have. Joyce
Meyer
878.
Pride is the
problem. Humility is the answer. Joyce Meyer
879.
Put on the mind
of Christ. Joyce Meyer
880.
Put your
expectations on God, not on people. Joyce Meyer
881.
Putting on the
shoes of peace is the only way you can defeat the devil. If you have no peace,
you have no power. Joyce Meyer
882.
Quit complaining.
Joyce Meyer
883.
Quit complaining.
Today thank God and decide to not complain about anything. Ask Him to show you
anytime you are getting ready to complain, and to help you hold your tongue.
Today, give thanks for what you have without looking at what you don’t have.
Some people have the same problems you have, but they don’t know God. At least
you can give thanks that God is in your life. The Word says, “Let there be no
filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish or sinful (silly and corrupt)
talk, nor course jesting, which are not fitting or becoming, but instead voice
your thankfulness to God – Ephesians 5:4. Guard your tongue today. Joyce
Meyer
884.
Real Christianity
can be summed up in two commands: Love God and love people. Joyce Meyer
885.
Real life is the
life that’s in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you
have or who you’re in a relationship with. Joyce Meyer
886.
Really showing
love requires more than just words. Joyce Meyer
887.
Refuse to allow
your circumstances to dictate how you’re going to feel. Joyce Meyer
888.
Refuse to be a
lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude. Joyce Meyer
889.
Refuse to live in
fear. Put setbacks behind you. Don’t draw comparisons. Be willing to take
action. Joyce Meyer
890.
Regardless of
what you’ve been told, God doesn’t give up on you when you get stuck. Joyce
Meyer
891.
Remain calm in
every situation, because peace equals power. Joyce Meyer
892.
Remember God is
not surprised by your inabilities, your imperfections, or your faults. He has
always known everything about you that you are just now finding out. And He
chose you on purpose for Himself. Joyce Meyer
893.
Remember, God
begins where we end. Stop struggling, trying to make things happen according to
your desires, and ask God to take the driver’s seat in your life. Joyce
Meyer
894.
Remember, what’s
in our hearts and minds, will come out of our mouth. Joyce Meyer
895.
Renew your joy.
Emotional trauma drains people of their energy. But the Word says, “Be not
grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold”
(Nehemiah 8:10). The devil wants to steal your joy because he knows that joy is
your strength. He wants you to be weak so that you won’t resist the turmoil he
sets against you. That is why sometimes we need each other. Some days God will
send messengers to build you up in faith and renew your joy. Some days He will
send you to someone else who is in a weakened condition because Satan has been
pounding on them. Be someone’s friend today. They may need a friend to stand
beside them and encourage them and to lift them up and pray for them. Joyce
Meyer
896.
Reproach is
shame, blame, disgrace, disapproval and a disrespectful attitude toward
yourself. When you’re under reproach, your behavior shows it. Joyce Meyer
897.
Resist the need
to be ‘right’ all the time or to always have the last word. Joyce Meyer
898.
Rid yourself of
clutter. “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3). Sometimes we complicate our life by
taking on things that God has not told us to do. We add stress, confusion, and
clutter with the unnecessary things we take on and hold on to. We need to use
our faith to let go of whatever clutters our mind and keeps us from peace. Ask
God to show you ways to simplify your life. Take an inventory today, and start
throwing out whatever is filling your life with unproductive distractions. God
wants you to enjoy your day, so get rid of whatever He shows you to give up. Joyce
Meyer
899.
Right action
follows right thinking. You will not change your behavior until you change your
thoughts. Joyce Meyer
900.
Right thinking
and right attitudes are roadmaps that allow us to reach our destination. Joyce
Meyer
901.
Right thinking is
a result of regular, personal fellowship with God through prayer and the Word.
It is important for us to come to grips with the fact that our lives will not
get straightened out until our thinking gets straightened out. Thoughts bear fruit.
When you and I think good thoughts, our lives produce good fruit. When we think
bad thoughts, our lives produce bad fruit. Joyce Meyer
902.
Sadly, the truth
is, there aren’t many people who can be put in high positions who won’t start
thinking highly of themselves. Joyce Meyer
903.
Satan frequently
steals the will of God from us due to reasoning. The Lord may direct us to do a
certain thing, but if it does not make sense – if it is not logical – we may be
tempted to disregard it. What God leads a person to do does not always make logical
sense to the mind. Our spirit may affirm it but our mind reject it, especially
if it would be out of the ordinary or unpleasant, or if it would require
personal sacrifice or discomfort. Joyce Meyer
904.
Satan is the
master distracter. He is always working to keep us off track in our walk with
God. Joyce Meyer
905.
Satan wants us to
constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we
still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already
come. Joyce Meyer
906.
Satan will battle
you with doubt and unbelief, but God has victory waiting for you if you’ll keep
trusting and believing Him. Joyce Meyer
907.
Seek His face and
not His hand. Joyce Meyer
908.
Selfishness
equals death. Love equals life. Joyce Meyer
909.
Self-pity is
idolatry! It is the most useless emotion. You can be addicted to self-pity and
every time you don’t get your way the first response is to feel sorry for
yourself. When we are full of self-pity, we turn in on ourselves and idolize
ourselves, and all we can think about is me, me, me. What you did to me, what
you’re not doing for me, what’s happening to me. When you feel that coming on,
say “No!” I cannot be pitiful and powerful. I am not going to sit here and
waste this day feeling sorry for myself. If I trust God, He will take care of
me. Joyce Meyer
910.
Self-pity is the
most miserable party to go to, because, in case you haven’t noticed, you’re the
only one who is there. Joyce Meyer
911.
Serving God
doesn’t mean we won’t have difficulties. We’re still on the battlefield. But we
don’t have to fight alone. Joyce Meyer
912.
Set your mind
that no matter what is going on in your life, you will have a good attitude. Joyce
Meyer
913.
Showing
gratitude: 1) Thank You notes 2) Hand-written letters 3) Saying grace before
meals 4) Create a Gratitude Journal 5) find value in suffering 6) reflect on
the day’s celebrations 7) turn your negatives into positives 8) call your
parents 9) random acts of kindness 10) conquer negativity with a grateful
attitude. Joyce Meyer
914.
Simplicity is a
key to avoiding complication. Part of the definition of simplicity is “not
complex or complicated; sincere”. Joyce Meyer
915.
Simply put, fear
is the opposite of faith. God wants us to walk by faith, and Satan wants us to
walk by fear. Joyce Meyer
916.
Sin is not dead,
but we are dead to sin. Joyce Meyer
917.
Sitting in church
does not make one a Christian any more than sitting in a garage makes one a
car. Joyce Meyer
918.
Slow down.
Remember, more is not necessarily better. It’s about quality, not quantity. Joyce
Meyer
919.
Slow your pace
and take the scenic route. Joyce Meyer
920.
So ask yourself,
“Am I in agreement with what God is doing in me? Or am I struggling and
fighting, impatiently trying to do things my way. I can assure you, if you’re
struggling with God, you’re just wasting your time, but if you’re in agreement
with Him, you’re using your time for great things.” Joyce Meyer
921.
So many people
live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians. Joyce
Meyer
922.
So much of what
we do every single day is the result of habits that we have formed over time. Joyce
Meyer
923.
So what if you’re
not perfect? Nobody else is either. Joyce Meyer
924.
Soak in His
Presence. Joyce Meyer
925.
Some Christians
feel guilty when they are doing something that isn’t ‘spiritual’. Somehow or
another, they feel the need to hurry through the grocery store, dash through
the house cleaning, and rush through all the daily aspects of life that seem
irrelevant to their faith. Joyce Meyer
926.
Some of our
biggest problems have the simplest answers if we follow the leading of the Holy
Spirit. Joyce Meyer
927.
Some of you might
say, “Well, I have faith. I believe in Jesus.” Frankly, it’s one thing to say
you have faith, but it’s an entirely different matter to apply your faith to
life’s challenges. Joyce Meyer
928.
Some people are
hurting so bad you have to do more than preach a message to them. You have to be
a message to them. Joyce Meyer
929.
Some people have
a difficult time facing truth and reality. They prefer to live in a
make-believe world, pretending that certain things are not happening. Joyce
Meyer
930.
Some people have
a hard time getting rid of stuff. If that’s you, pray for God to give you the
courage to get rid of things you don’t really need or things He wants you to
give away. This will help keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free. Joyce
Meyer
931.
Some people think
they have discernment when actually they are just suspicious. Suspicion comes
out of the unrenewed mind. Discernment comes out of the renewed spirit. Joyce
Meyer
932.
Something good
always comes when we think according to God’s plan for our lives. Joyce
Meyer
933.
Something good is
going to happen to me today. Joyce Meyer
934.
Something unique
is more valuable than something that’s just like everything else. Joyce
Meyer
935.
Sometimes a
single word can make all the difference. Joyce Meyer
936.
Sometimes God
allows us to be tested because He is preparing us for promotion. Joyce Meyer
937.
Sometimes God
doesn’t want us to be rescued by others. He wants us to walk out of our mess
with Him. Joyce Meyer
938.
Sometimes I just
sit still and enjoy God’s Presence. Joyce Meyer
939.
Sometimes if you
got a problem deeply rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to
overcome it in that area. Joyce Meyer
940.
Sometimes love is
expressed through service. Words are great, but when you walk in love, your
commitment must be more than words. Joyce Meyer
941.
Sometimes new
opportunity means new opposition. Not everything God asks us to do will be
comfortable. Joyce Meyer
942.
Sometimes we just
need to stop worrying and trust God. Joyce Meyer
943.
Sometimes when
you’ve had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the
very bad habit of just expecting more of what you’ve already had. Joyce
Meyer
944.
Sometimes you
must suffer through something to defeat your fear of it. Joyce Meyer
945.
Sowing the Word
into our lives every day is the groundwork for a fruitful life. Trust in God to
bless you bountifully. Joyce Meyer
946.
Speak good things
about yourself. Joyce Meyer
947.
Speak this over
your life: “God, I give You my reputation. I’m not going to spend my life
worrying about what other people think of me. I am going to be free to be who I
am and be led by You and do what I believe You want me to do, and whatever
people think, it’s up to them.” Joyce Meyer
948.
Speaking
negatively could hurt you, but speaking positively never will. Joyce Meyer
949.
Spending time
with God is proof that He is important to us. Joyce Meyer
950.
Spending time
with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure
you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule
around Him. Joyce Meyer
951.
Spending time
with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life
and fulfilling your purpose. Joyce Meyer
952.
Spiritual people
don’t float around all day on clouds of glory; they live in the real world and
deal with real issues in real ways. Joyce Meyer
953.
Stand for what
you believe in, but treat everyone with love. Joyce Meyer
954.
Start believing
the Word of God over your feelings. The truth always overrides our feelings.
Find the truth in the Scriptures. Joyce Meyer
955.
Start believing
today that you are a rare, one-of-a-kind, valuable and precious woman. Joyce
Meyer
956.
Start talking to
God as soon as you wake up each day – He is waiting to hear your voice. Joyce
Meyer
957.
Start your week
off right by getting back to what is really important – honoring God. Joyce
Meyer
958.
Stay active. Read
the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and
growing. Your faith will be unleashed! Joyce Meyer
959.
Stay in your own
lane. Joyce Meyer
960.
Step out. Follow
your heart and do what God is calling you to do. Joyce Meyer
961.
Stop begging and
start receiving. Joyce Meyer
962.
Stop being
tormented by everyone else’s reaction to you. Joyce Meyer
963.
Stop building
your own house and let the Master Builder take over. Joyce Meyer
964.
Stop comparing
yourself to other people. You are an original. We are all different, and it’s
okay. Joyce Meyer
965.
Stop despising
where you are in your journey and let God use it for your good. Joyce Meyer
966.
Stop determining
your worth and value by what other people say. Be determined by what the Word
of God says. Joyce Meyer
967.
Stop focusing on
what is wrong with everyone else and start focusing on how blessed you are. Joyce
Meyer
968.
Stop giving
someone else the job of making you happy. Joyce Meyer
969.
Stop labeling
people just because they’re not like you. Joyce Meyer
970.
Stop living in
fear that you’re always going to do the wrong thing. If God gives you something
to do, He will anoint you to do it. Joyce Meyer
971.
Stop looking at
what you can’t do and find something you can do, and start doing it by faith.
If you will do the little bit you can do, God will do everything that you can’t
do. Joyce Meyer
972.
Stop looking to
people to meet your needs and start looking to God. Don’t make others
responsible for your happiness. Joyce Meyer
973.
Stop thinking
about what you’ve lost and start seeing what you have left. Even if it doesn’t
seem like much, God can still use it to do great things. Joyce Meyer
974.
Stop trying to
give God everything you are and start giving Him everything you’re not – His
strength is made perfect in our weakness. Joyce Meyer
975.
Stop worrying
about the people who don’t like you, and start getting busy finding the ones
that do. Joyce Meyer
976.
Stress in
marriages would be reduced if husbands and wives would be willing to show love
by simply serving one another. Joyce Meyer
977.
Strive for
excellence, not perfection, because we don’t live in a perfect world. Joyce
Meyer
978.
Take a firm grasp
on God’s sovereignty and trust His love even when you don’t understand His
purpose. Joyce Meyer
979.
Take a leap of
faith towards your destiny. God has a gold-medal story for each of us. He wants
you to enjoy a life that overcomes obstacles and seizes opportunities. And
here’s the key: You have to move past your past. There are many people who
aren’t experiencing victory today because they are focused on yesterday. When
they close their eyes, they don’t see their dreams for tomorrow. They only see
the devastation of yesterday. But God is rewriting your story and reshaping
your identity. Take your eyes off the past and place them solely on Jesus. Joyce
Meyer
980.
Take action in
your life! Sitting back and passively wishing stress would go away won’t work! Joyce
Meyer
981.
Talk about what
God has done in your life, more than you talk about what the devil is doing in
your life. Joyce Meyer
982.
Teachers can
change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges. Joyce Meyer
983.
Thank God for
your strengths. Trust God to help you with your weaknesses. Joyce Meyer
984.
Thank You,
Father, for the way You take residence in my heart. You are not distant or out
of reach. I thank You that You dwell in me and are involved in every area of my
life. Joyce Meyer
985.
Thankful for
hindsight so I can see God’s handiwork. Joyce Meyer
986.
Thankfulness side
effects may include, but are not limited to the following: more energy, better
sleep, less headaches, increased self-esteem, decreased depression, decreased
anxiety, boost in the immune system, large increase in happiness. Joyce
Meyer
987.
Thanking God in
the midst of a problem is a gift we give ourselves. Joyce Meyer
988.
The answer is to
stop worrying and place your trust in God. He has the future all planned, and
He knows the answer to everything. His Word promises us that He will take care
of us if we trust in Him. Joyce Meyer
989.
The answer to
fear is always the same … Be strong and courageous for God is with you. Joyce
Meyer
990.
The battle
belongs to the Lord. Joyce Meyer
991.
The best part
about life? Every morning you have a new opportunity to become a happier
version of yourself. Joyce Meyer
992.

The Bible says
the power of life and death are in the tongue. Choose life. Joyce Meyer

that if he can get enough wrong things going on in our heads, they will
eventually begin to come out of our mouths. Joyce Meyer

the amazing things God has done for us, the more deeply we fall in love with
Him. Joyce Meyer

The more we stop
and ask God for directions, the more sensitive we become to the signals within

still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten. Joyce Meyer

everybody’s looking for is unconditional love. We all need someone to love us
just the way we are. Joyce Meyer

you is greater than the one who is in the world. Joyce Meyer
1050.
The only
acceptable attitude when fear comes is “I will not fear because God is with
me.” Joyce Meyer
1051.
The only answer
is to “stop worrying and place your trust in God”. He has the future all
planned, and He knows the answer to everything. His Word promises us that He
will take care of us if we trust in Him. “Lord, my future is in Your hands. In
reality, I cannot truly control anything. I humble myself before You and cast
my cares into Your hands. Thank You for Your care. Amen.” Joyce Meyer

attitude and approach toward them. Joyce Meyer

The Spirit of God
never quits … He always gets us across the finish line. Joyce Meyer
1062.
The term
revolution means: a sudden, radical and complete change from the way things are
normally done. I love that definition because I really feel that in order for
us to start walking in the kind of love that Christ commanded us to – the “love
your neighbor as yourself” kind – it’s going to take a radical change in our
current behavior. The church has become passive and selfish, and it’s going to
take a revolution to get us back to the place where we are not just talking the
talk, but walking in a love that shows the world Christ’s love. Joyce Meyer
1063.
The truth is God
created us to have relationship with us. He wants to love us and take care of
us, and He wants us to love Him. That’s where our walk with Christ has to

do is flap around the chicken yard, stirring up dirt and running to the chicken
house. Joyce Meyer
1079.
There are many
things that happen every day that we could murmur about if we let ourselves go

about it. Joyce Meyer

drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time. Joyce Meyer
1081.
There are no
drive-thru breakthroughs. If you want a breakthrough, you’ve got to go through.
Joyce Meyer
1082.
There are no
unanswered prayers. God either says “yes”, “no”, or “wait”. Joyce Meyer
1083.
There are people
in the world who aren’t necessarily Christians, but they’re just naturally nice
people who do a lot for other people. Those people will almost always be
prosperous people. Joyce Meyer
1084.
There are some
hurts that we experience that can be forgiven, but we won’t forget them. Joyce
Meyer
1085.
There are two
kinds of pain: the pain of change and the pain of never changing and remaining
the same. Joyce Meyer
1086.
There is a
treasure in your trial. Joyce Meyer
1087.

something you can do that no one else can do just like you, so love your life. Joyce
Meyer
1097.
There may be
things you don’t understand, but God loves you. Joyce Meyer
1098.
There’s a
deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive
because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this
because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well. Joyce
Meyer
1099.
There’s a part of
you – the born-again part, your spirit – that’s dead to sin. That’s why it
bothers you now when you sin. The ‘wilderness’ part of you – your soul – is
your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will. Joyce Meyer
1100.
There’s good in
every moment. Joyce Meyer
1101.

Meyer
1108.
There’s only one
response we should have toward fear: I will not fear. Joyce Meyer
1109.

themselves have no life in them. A car can’t comfort or encourage you. A house
means nothing if there’s no life or love inside. Joyce Meyer
1110.
Think of creative
ways you can express God’s love to three people, and do it. Joyce Meyer
1111.
Thinking good
thoughts is the way to overcome the habit of thinking bad ones. Joyce Meyer

wounds from the past will not benefit you; bad memories do not help you live a
joyful life. Joyce Meyer

God has made and I’m going to enjoy it! I can handle whatever comes my way
today through Christ who is my strength. Joyce Meyer
1114.
Those who hurt us
are usually hurting themselves. And their pain may be so strong that they are
not even aware they are hurting us. Joyce Meyer

us for action. Wherever the mind goes, the man follows. Joyce Meyer

Spirit our lives become bright lights everywhere we go. Joyce Meyer

Meyer
1122.
To enjoy your
life, you must be at peace with yourself. Joyce Meyer
1123.
To feel fear
doesn’t mean that you’re a coward. Boldness is taking action in the presence of
fear – do it afraid! Joyce Meyer
1124.
To have peace,
keep your eyes on God. Get alone to fellowship with Him. If you have to get in
a closet and sit in the middle of all your shoes, and hang clothes over your
head to hide in order to find solitude, do it! Then focus on all that God has
done for you. Joyce Meyer
1125.
To live in God’s
peace, we have to pursue it. Go deeper in your relationship with God and you’ll

beginning for me. Joyce Meyer
1134.

perfect day to begin with God again. Joyce Meyer
1135.
Today you can
make the devil mad by deciding to “be happy” no matter what is going on in your
life! Joyce Meyer
1136.
Too many
Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe
His lies more than they trust God. Joyce Meyer
1137.
Too often we
spend our time in the past or the future. We need to learn to live now –
mentally, as well as physically and spiritually. Joyce Meyer

common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong,
but sometimes they can take the joy out of life. Joyce Meyer

storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through
trials and tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith. Joyce Meyer

We all fail in
life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn’t make you a
failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying. Joyce Meyer
1165.
We all get weary
sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary. Joyce
Meyer
1166.
We all have
challenges, but we make them better or worse by the way we talk about them. Joyce
Meyer
1167.
We all have two
lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life,
which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical
life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned
with your inner life than your outer life. Joyce Meyer

do impossible things. Joyce Meyer
1173.
We are overcomers
through Him who overcame. Joyce Meyer
1174.
We are to have
genuine, pure, fervent love for others above everything else we do. If we can
manage only one thing in our lives, it should be to love other people. Joyce
Meyer
1175.
We believers do
not have to live a powerless life. We are to live as Christ lived – empowered
by the Holy Spirit. Joyce Meyer

God’s Throne with boldness because we are confident in the power of what Jesus
accomplished for us at the Cross. Joyce Meyer
1177.
We can be
confident that God is working in us, changing us, and helping us grow through
our faith in Him, so we can fulfill His good plans for our lives. Joyce
Meyer
1178.
We can do
whatever we need to do with His (God’s) help … and smiles on our faces! Joyce

things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that
can happen. Joyce Meyer

things from people, we can even hide them from ourselves, but we cannot hide
them from God. Joyce Meyer
1181.

our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers

say yes when God says yes and no when He says no. Joyce Meyer

We can never make
ourselves better by trying … praying more or longer, studying more of the Word,
performing good works, etc. Don’t get me wrong … it’s not bad to do any of
these things. In fact, it is good. It’s just that doing them in God’s power is
the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives. Joyce
Meyer
1185.
We cannot conquer
anything by running away from it or trying to avoid it – we must go through it.
Joyce Meyer
1186.
We cannot control
what others do to us, but through God we can control the way we respond to
them. Joyce Meyer
1187.
We clearly see in
God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do
it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come
up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t
want to do. Joyce Meyer
1188.
We develop Godly
character when we treat people the way we want to be treated, not the way they
may treat us. Joyce Meyer
1189.
We do not need
self-confidence; we need God-confidence. Joyce Meyer
1190.
We don’t always
help people by doing everything for them. That type of behavior can actually
contribute to their problems because it helps them never take responsibility on
their own. Joyce Meyer
1191.
We don’t buy His
love. He loves us freely. Joyce Meyer
1192.
We don’t grow
when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges. Joyce Meyer
1193.
We don’t have any
trouble treating God right, but we need to work at treating each other right. Joyce
Meyer
1194.
We don’t live out
of a “Do”. We live out of a “Done”. What Christ has already done! Joyce
Meyer
1195.
We don’t obey the

we are stewards of what God has provided for us, not owners. Joyce Meyer

to put God’s wisdom into practice so we can enjoy our lives. Joyce Meyer

to think like God thinks. We must learn to identify with Christ and the new
person He has made us to be. Joyce Meyer
1221.
We need to put no
confidence in the arm of flesh, but rather trust ourselves entirely to the arm
of the Lord. Joyce Meyer
1222.
We need to start
defending one another instead of exposing one another’s faults. Joyce Meyer
1223.
We need to stop
trying to fix things that only God can fix because the only one who is clapping
is the devil, saying, “Ha,Ha,Ha! Got ‘em again!”. Joyce Meyer

We need to take
God out of our “emergency only” box and allow Him into our everyday life. Joyce
Meyer
1225.

God is never late, but generally He’s not early either. Why? Because He uses

growth in our lives. Joyce Meyer

We receive by
faith, not through works. Joyce Meyer

who is with us is greater than all those who oppose us. Joyce Meyer

own brand of problems. You can be pitiful or powerful. Take your pick. Joyce
Meyer

What an honor to
be able to say, “No matter what kind of problem that I have in my life, I get
to trust God. God loves me. I don’t have to live in fear. God is on my side and
I get to give God my problems, cast my care, go on and enjoy my life while God works
on my situation!” Joyce Meyer
1237.
What does God
require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His
requirement is that we let go and let God. Joyce Meyer
1238.
What God can do
for you will override anything anyone else has done to you. Joyce Meyer
1239.

as a dead end, God sees as a new beginning. Joyce Meyer

What we need to
understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and
expectations others put on us that we don’t want to fulfill, then they lose
real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we’re too religious, we
won’t be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship
with Him. Joyce Meyer
1241.
What you do in
front of people is nothing if you are not living the same life at home behind

situation, God wants to heal you, strengthen you, and lead you to a place where
you can enjoy life again. Joyce Meyer

seems to be lost, the Lord will pull you up from the pit of despair and you
will live again (Ezekiel 37:11-14).
1251.
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
1252.
When Elijah
battled depression, God didn’t send an angel to preach to him, tell him he

decision, going to God is a first option, not a last resort. Joyce Meyer

your side, there is no way you can lose. Joyce Meyer

to give, I can’t be on television if they don’t. I can’t help people if I don’t
– I mean it takes money. Joyce Meyer

When I read the
Bible, I see that we should have victory in our life and be overcomers, and I

Meyer
1259.
When I wait, You O
Lord strengthen my heart. Joyce Meyer

to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted. Joyce Meyer
1262.
When life gives
you trouble, you can get bitter or better. You can go under or you can go on. Joyce
Meyer
1263.
When no one is
there to help me, I get to know Jesus really well. The narrow road of living
for God and not conforming to the ways of this world is often lonely. But the
trade-off of graining real intimacy with Christ is worth more than anything you
can ever get from the world. Joyce Meyer
1264.
When someone
gives you offense, it doesn’t mean you have to take it. Joyce Meyer

alone. Joyce Meyer

When we are truly
confident and secure, the opinions of others cannot control us. Joyce Meyer
1267.
When we believe
the best of people, we let go of each thing they do that is hurtful to us. And

they’re having a bad day or don’t feel well.” “They probably don’t even realize
how they sound.” Joyce Meyer
1268.

thoughts with right things, the wrong ones have no room to enter. Joyce
Meyer

ourselves and ask for God’s help, then He’s able to release His power in our
situations. Joyce Meyer
1273.
When we keep God
in first place, everything else falls into place! Joyce Meyer

When we lean on
God, we actually enter into His rest and can enjoy our lives, no matter what
our circumstances may be. Joyce Meyer

true commitment to walk in love, it usually causes a huge shift in our
lifestyle. Many of our ways – our thoughts, our conversation, our habits – have
to change. Joyce Meyer
1276.
When we make
progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there’s a period of waiting
or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we’re
going to see things through to the finish or quit. Joyce Meyer
1277.
When we pray, we
open the door for God to come into our problems and situations and work on
them. Joyce Meyer

problem in God’s hands, He puts His peace in our hearts. Joyce Meyer

understand grace, it takes the pressure off – we don’t live by our effort and
our trying. Joyce Meyer
1280.
When we see our
breakthrough happen, it’s often the result of what God’s been working on for
years. Joyce Meyer
1281.
When we trust God
more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his
best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do
with you anymore. Joyce Meyer
1282.
When we
understand God’s love for us and His plan for us, then we can begin to realize
the doors that He wants to open for us. But we’ll only realize these things
when we’re constantly talking with Him, listening to His Voice, and growing
deeper in our relationship with Him. Joyce Meyer
1283.
When we worship
the Lord, we release the emotional or mental burden that weighs us down. It is
swallowed up in the awesomeness of God. When we keep our eyes on Him and
worship, we will always see His plan for our lives work out all things for our
good. Regardless of the difficulties you face, just keep praising God and
giving Him glory. Faith will rise in your heart, and you will overcome. Joyce
Meyer
1284.

closest to your breakthrough, the pressure is the greatest. You have come too
far to give up now! Joyce Meyer
1288.
When you become a
Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your
heart. You become the home of God. Joyce Meyer
1289.
When you begin to
worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; to do
something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about
it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else,
remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your
problem. Joyce Meyer
1290.
When you bring in
the light it always dispels the darkness. Joyce Meyer

your thoughts with right things, the wrong ones have no room to enter. Joyce
Meyer
1295.
When you focus on
how wonderful God is and all the great things He has done … is doing … and even
will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe.

problem, don’t go to the phone. Go to the Throne. Joyce Meyer

succeed at being yourself, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying life more
fully. Joyce Meyer
1300.
When you make a
mistake and the devil comes and tells you ‘You’re no good’, you don’t have to
take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can
immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and
cleansing you with the Blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His
grace and forgiveness. Joyce Meyer
1301.
When you need to
make a decision, don’t let your emotions vote. Joyce Meyer

to handle life. Joyce Meyer

construction of your life over to God, He will build something beautiful. Joyce
Meyer
1310.
When you walk in
love, you give up your right to be right. Joyce Meyer
1311.
When you’re in a
leadership role, you can never please all of the people all the time. There’s
also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not
realize. Joyce Meyer
1312.
When you’re in a
war and fighting a battle, and you have God as your captain, there’s no way you
are not going to win! Joyce Meyer
1313.

and tempted to give up, just remember that your breakthrough may only be one
day away. Joyce Meyer
1314.
When your soul is
resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace
with God, not resisting what He’s doing. Joyce Meyer
1315.
Where the mind
goes, the man follows. Joyce Meyer
1316.
Where there is a
rotten root, there will always be rotten fruit. We must be rooted in Jesus
Christ to bear good fruit. Joyce Meyer

opposition to evil, it multiplies. Joyce Meyer

God has done for you already. Joyce Meyer

wherever you are, whatever you’ve been through, it’s never too late to begin
again. Joyce Meyer
1323.
Whose pace are
you moving at? Are you keeping the pace God has set for you or someone else’s? Joyce
Meyer
1324.
Why is it that
although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out
of them in a few days. Joyce Meyer

now with what you will be happy with later on. Joyce Meyer
1326.

face anything and do anything that is His will. Joyce Meyer

powerful; if you change your words, you can change your life. Joyce Meyer

awesome. Words are containers for power. They carry either creative power or

rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you
nowhere. Joyce Meyer

so why do it? Joyce Meyer
1340.
Worry sees the
problem, but faith sees the God who can handle the problem. Joyce Meyer
1341.
Worrying is
trying to figure out what to do to save yourself, rather than trusting in God
for deliverance. Joyce Meyer
1342.
Yes, God does
expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our
intentions can make it happen.
1343.
Thankfully, He
doesn’t expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend
on Him to make us holy. Joyce Meyer
1344.
You and I cannot
change ourselves, but we can spend time seeking the One who can change us. Joyce

trust God or you can decide to be miserable. Joyce Meyer

glorious destiny! Joyce Meyer
1356.
You can have a
life without strife! Joyce Meyer
1357.
You can live with
God’s power (His miraculous ability, might and strength). Joyce Meyer
1358.
You can make it
through your emotional trials. Jesus wasn’t led by His feelings. And you don’t
have to be either when God lets things affect you emotionally. Seize the moment
and view it as an opportunity to step into a place of absolute trust in God. Joyce
Meyer
1359.
You can make this
journey little by little: you don’t have to give up or quit. Joyce Meyer

free through avoidance and running away from things. Joyce Meyer

spiritually mature you are when somebody else gets blessed with something you
want. Joyce Meyer
1364.
You can’t be a
worshipper and a worrier at the same time. Joyce Meyer
1365.
You can’t bother
God because He picked you … you can’t impose on Him! He’s not rolling His eyes
when you have a problem. Instead, He will always remind you how far you have
come, how well you are doing, how precious you are in His sight, and how much
He loves you. God already knew your weaknesses, every flaw you would have,
every time you would fail, and He still said, “I want you”. Ephesians 1:5
declares that He foreordained you to be adopted as His own. God is your daddy!
With Him on your side, things are bound to work out all right in the end. Joyce
Meyer
1366.
You can’t fulfill
all the expectations of everyone you know, so you might as well go ahead and
disappoint them and get it over with. Joyce Meyer

You can’t have a
testimony without the test. Joyce Meyer
1368.
You can’t have
peace without grace – undeserved favor and power. Joyce Meyer
1369.

real love without operating in forgiveness. Love keeps giving the other person
another chance. Joyce Meyer
1370.
You cannot be
selfish and happy. Joyce Meyer
1371.
You cannot
control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what
happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing
it to master you. Joyce Meyer

positive life and a negative mind. Joyce Meyer
1373.
You cannot live
your life just based on what everyone else thinks. Joyce Meyer
1374.

be like everybody else or do things like everybody else. God created you to be

Meyer
1375.
You don’t have to
fear anything or anyone. Joyce Meyer
1376.

give way to careless speech or complaining. You don’t have to let your feelings
get in the way of what God wants to do in your life. Joyce Meyer
1377.
You don’t have to
wait until you’re perfected to like yourself. You can start even while God’s
changing you. Joyce Meyer

You don’t need to
know what tomorrow holds. All you need to know is the One who holds tomorrow. Joyce
Meyer
1379.
You have a great
God who loves you and cares about you. Be full of hope that something good can
happen to you. God is a master at new beginnings. He loves fresh beginnings,
and He makes everything new. Joyce Meyer
1380.
You have so many
capabilities and potential. Start celebrating the life God has given you. Joyce
Meyer

power to make the world a better place by being kind to someone today. Joyce
Meyer
1382.
You have to go
through to get through. Joyce Meyer

you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying, “God, here I
am. Do what You want to do with me.” Joyce Meyer
1384.
You know, God
will give favor to anyone who will believe Him. Every day you should confess
that you have favor everywhere you go. God will begin to open doors that you
wouldn’t believe. Joyce Meyer
1385.
You may be going
through something, but the good news is, you’re going through to victory. Joyce
Meyer

be patient, but God is always faithful. Joyce Meyer

feel fear, but you don’t have to let fear stop you. Joyce Meyer
1389.
You must turn to
God and say, “Father, I need Your strength. By faith I choose to receive Your

moving if you want God to show you which way to go. Joyce Meyer

Faith works in an
obedient heart.
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
