This program is paid for by people like you, the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

It's not wrong to want things, but it's wrong to be unhappy if you don't get them,

because really what that's saying is, God, I don't trust you. I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe

that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

We have so much, and it is, there's really no excuse at all to ever be discontent.

And that's what I want to talk about this afternoon is to have a contented attitude.

The Bible says, Godliness with contentment is of great gain.

And I believe it's really a great way to praise God just to be content.

I think that really blesses him because there's so many people in the world that are

discontent and every one of us, even those of you who may think you're poor, we have so much compared to what they have in the rest of the world

that it's just

and you know we think all the time but

we need to think more about how blessed we are.

I mean, seriously, we need to think more about just how blessed we are and what God has done for us and

just even the medical things that are available to us today.

It's just, well, we're blessed.

And I just think it'd be good if we'd all go out of here this afternoon,

just pretty much determined to have a good attitude,

to work with God about this thing about maintaining a humble attitude and believe me that's a lifelong pursuit.

I set a goal today and my goal is,

if I remember I'll let you know next year if I've made any progress my goal is every time Dave gives me advice is to say thank you

oh it's come take a lot amen wow and I think it would just be great if we'd go out determined to be content.
