| edb6216 | Calming down is a decision. It has nothing to do with feelings. It is an act of obedience, and we do it to honor God because He lives in our house, and He's saying: "I want it--I want some peace in this house. I want it quiet in here. I want you to be full of peace." | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 605a28e | We can and should be satisfied where we are, while we are getting to where we are going. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 3e9f30b | We all need to realize that we're on a journey, and we are making progress. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 8e768e0 | Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 38b979e | Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| de720f4 | No, world! You are not going to do this to me any longer. I am not going to live on this crazy merry-go-round with no way off of it. I know what I am supposed to do, and I am going to do it. If you don't like it, talk to God. He is the One Who put this vision in me, and I am not going to frustrate myself all my life just to please you. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 50f01c8 | Therefore I do not run uncertainly (without definite aim). I do not box like one beating the air and striking without an adversary. But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit]. 1 Corinthians 9:26,27 | Joyce Meyer | ||
| bef3f48 | Self-discipline is the most important quality in any life. Do you know what self-discipline is? It is keeping ourselves going in the right direction without someone making us do so. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| ebf1559 | God will provide for all of my needs. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 5dffacb | I did not have that privilege, just as many of you did not, but fortunately, we have a Father we can go to now with the promise of never being rejected. A Father Who is far better than even the best earthly father in the world. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| b0f9a2c | But our God is an expert at removing worthless things out of us while retaining the valuable. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 04b0024 | character simply by listening to their conversation. The more loving our words and actions are toward others, the more loving and kind our thoughts will be. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 085e398 | No matter what other people may have told you that you are not, God delights in telling you in His Word who you are in Him--loved, valuable, precious, talented, gifted, capable, powerful, wise, and redeemed. I encourage you to take a moment and repeat those nine things out loud. Say, "I am loved, valuable, precious, talented, gifted, capable, powerful, wise, and redeemed." He has a good plan for you! Get excited about your life. You are cre.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 3e3dee4 | 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. When the joy in your life is obvious, it rubs off on others. But when you keep God's joy locked inside you and don't allow it to show on your face, you're depriving those around you of a pleasant and refreshing experience. | Terri Brown | ||
| 58ce15c | The power of life and death are in the tongue, and we eat the fruit of them (Proverbs 18:21). Our words affect us and the people around us. They also affect what God is able to do for us. We cannot have a negative mouth and a positive life. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 7ef7fca | We can complain and remain, or praise and be raised. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 7d4ff0e | Pray and trust God, and He will show you what to do at the right time. He will show you because He is a God Who never fails His children (see Deut. 31:6, 8). He is a God of faithfulness, and He always comes through. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 04fff01 | I hope you have a dream or a vision in your heart for something greater than what you have now. Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that we can hope or ask or think. If we are not thinking, hoping, or asking for anything, we are cheating ourselves. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 573bbf5 | Many times in our lives, the circumstances we face or the decisions we make cause us to feel we have been dropped, crushed, or ground into the dirt. We feel worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value in God's eyes. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, we are still priceless to Him. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 02216c6 | Always living in the safe zone of life and never taking chances actually makes one a thief and a robber. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| de29904 | We all know that we must sow seed if we are to reap a harvest (Galatians 6:7). Sowing seed into the lives of other people is one sure way to reap a harvest in our own life. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 80a32a8 | Jesus knew when it was about time for Him to go to the cross. In John 14:30 He actually said to His disciples, I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming. And he has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.] | Joyce Meyer | ||
| df290d9 | An organization once offered a bounty of five thousand dollars apiece for wolves that were captured alive. Enticed by the idea of such money, Sam and Jed eagerly set out through the forests and into the mountains in search of the animals that could secure their fortune. They fell asleep under the stars one night, exhausted after days of enthusiastic hunting. Sam awoke in the middle of the night and saw about fifty wolves surrounding him and.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| c122860 | At this moment, each one of us is as close to God's throne of grace as we choose to be. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 74e14e6 | Trust in Him Faith in Jesus is "the leaning of your entire personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness" (Col. 1:4). Are you leaning on Him?" | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 117f2f5 | By just being positive, having the best perspective on everything, and always believing the best of everybody, we release peace and joy in our lives. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| f53aa5b | For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. --MARK 11:24 | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 3f2d918 | And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and [really] believing, you will receive. MATTHEW 21:22 | Joyce Meyer | ||
| ab4979e | A speaker was talking about the power of positive thinking and the power of words. One of the audience members raised his hand and said, "It's not saying 'good fortune, good fortune, good fortune' that will make me feel better. Nor will saying 'bad luck, bad luck, bad luck' make me feel worse. They're only words and by themselves have no power." The speaker replied, "Shut up, you fool, you don't understand a thing about this." The audience .. | Joyce Meyer | ||

| 1ec6e45 | This is Daniela with an energy like the first time we met fifteen years ago, before years of life-the normalcy, the elation, the depression, the compromise-transformed her into the woman who now shares my bed: amazing mother, amazing wife, but fighting always against the whispers of what might have been. | Blake Crouch | ||
| cde8cd3 | APRIL 16 Be a Blessing You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. ISAIAH 26:3 Galatians 6:10 says, "Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith." Second Corinthians 10:5 speaks of casting down imaginations and every high and lofty thing that exa.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 808cbd4 | When I am in the midst of difficulty, I often turn to Romans 8:35-39, and I remind myself that no matter how difficult life is, God loves me. I try to remember that at times, I may appear as a sheep being led to slaughter, but in the midst of these things, I am more than a conqueror. To me, this simply means that we can always be assured of victory eventually. We may go through very difficult things, but following the principles God has set.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 0aa8389 | When you spend time with God, it becomes evident. You become calmer, you're easier to get along with, you are more joyful, and you remain stable in every situation. Spending quality time with God is an investment that yields rich benefits. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 5c01771 | We can say that we trust God all day long, but if we fear the unknown, then in reality, we don't trust God. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| aa0d6e2 | To get the victory and keep our attitude one of hope, we need to renew our mind to God's promises concerning our situation and stand in faith, believing God will do what His Word says He will do. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| a3428ac | about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God.... Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone's shackles were unfastened. Acts 16:25,26 | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 7a10fe4 | SEPTEMBER 5 Stay Out of Strife He who is of a greedy spirit stirs up strife, but he who puts his trust in the Lord shall be enriched and blessed. PROVERBS 28:25 Probably 80 percent of the places we visit in our ministry have church members who are riddled with strife. Strife is the devil's tool against us. It takes personal self-control to stay out of strife. If you want to keep peace, you can't always say everything you want to say. Someti.. | Joyce Meyer | ||

| 44b2e4d | need of encouragement, look to God first. He will never tell you that you're not going to make it. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 3c2fb57 | A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. PROVERBS 17:22 | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 174ce71 | Trust in Him Trust the Word of God more than you trust the lies of the devil, and keep making progress! | Joyce Meyer | ||
