Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be sharing with us how we can do life with God.

When we think about our daily routines, where do we find God?

Are we looking to him only for the important moments, or are we inviting him to be in everything we do?

Discover how God can turn the ordinary into extraordinary with today's teaching from Joyce.

But before she begins, we want to give you an opportunity to help change a life.

Your special gift today will go directly toward a Hand of Hope outreach,

providing practical help to a person in need.

Together we can give hope and share the love of Jesus

all around the world. You can help provide clean water, food, medical and dental services, disaster

relief, or help support women and girls through Project Girl. You can also choose to give toward

wherever needed most. Choose your cause today by visiting joycemyer.org slash my cause. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

I did a message called the law of gradual growth. And I said that if you, if you don't like waiting

and you're in a big hurry, being in relationship with God's going to be kind of frustrating to you

because he's not in much of a hurry about anything.

And God could do anything he wants to.

Things wouldn't have to take so long.

I mean, I know I used to think, well, I mean, God really, it can't be that hard for you to do that.

We have to just keep waiting and waiting.

Can't you just go ahead and do that now?

Well, of course, God can do anything he wants to anytime he wants to, but there's a purpose in things taking a while.

We don't appreciate what we get too quickly.
