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

We create a lot of stress for ourselves by not liking things that people are doing and trying to make them not do them.

And a lot of times we want people to change so we can be happier, but we have to understand that we can be happy even if they don't want to be.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life, and he will do it for you.

Father, I pray this morning that the word that I bring will be exactly what people need to hear,

and that it won't just be information, but it'll be revelation.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

First of all, how often do you hear yourself complaining about everything you have to do?

None of you do that, huh?

I guess I might as well go home then.

I got the wrong group.

One time I was complaining to God

about everything I had to do.

Nobody can be expected to do this much.

And the thing I heard him speak in my heart is you made your schedule.

If you don't like it, change it.

You know, we're the ones that say yes to all the things we complain about later.

And so I challenged everybody last night

if you feel like you're stressed out.

Just go home and write a list of everything you're doing

and then just one by one, go over it and ask yourself two questions.

Number one, is this bearing good fruit?
