Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching on the power of being thankful. Every moment in life

is a gift from God. While we're not always in control of the circumstances, we can choose to have a

thankful mindset, living each day trusting that God is fulfilling his purpose for our lives.

This gives us peace and true joy, regardless of the situation we're in. Today, Joyce wants to

encourage us to have a grateful heart, and as we learn to actively practice Thanksgiving,

it'll be the key to finding freedom from bitterness and embrace God's best for us.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Well, thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

Today I want to talk to you about a very, very, very important subject,

and that is the subject of being thankful.

You know, I believe that thank you has a lot of power in it.

And the more thankful we are to God and to other people in our lives who help us make our lives easier,

I think the more thankful we are, the more powerful we are. The title of this message today is

be thankful and say so. And that comes from a scripture, Psalm 100, verse 4. Be thankful and say so.

A lot of people might say, well, I am thankful, but you know, other people can't read your mind.

They need to hear the words. And I believe it's very much. say, well, I am thankful, but, you know, other people can't read your mind.

They need to hear the words.

And I believe it's very important that we all step up our thanking people and thanking God for all the good things that he does for us.

You know, so often people want to know what the will of God is for their life.

That's probably one of the biggest questions of people ask.

What is God's will for my life?
