This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

I just want to encourage anybody that's watching today that is grieving to ask God to come for you

because he wants to do that. And I don't know how he goes about it.

God is the one who can get on the inside of you and make things happen that nobody else can happen.

I do what I do because I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

The key to everything is found in God's word. I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life. Today we continue a conversation we began yesterday from Joyce's Talk It Out podcast called Finding Joy in the Myths of Despair.

And let me take a moment to encourage you that if you are hurting, you are not hurting alone.

The comfort of the Holy Spirit, it's available to you right now. His love can help you walk through your pain to activate his gift of joy.

And I get it. I'm right there with you and I understand the word joy may not even sound like a possibility for you, but it is even when it sounds impossible.

Whatever trial you're dealing with right now, I pray this program helps you feel God's comfort and see hope in the midst of it.

One of the amazing be attitudes is bless those that mourn for they shall be comforted. That's really unique when you think about it.

He says you're blessed when you mourn for you shall be comforted. It's a promise. It's a promise.

It's a promise. So the comfort of God, I mean, it's almost like he's saying it's worth mourning just to experience God's comfort.

And then the comfort that he comforts you with, you can then use that same experience to go and comfort other people that are hurting.

So God really does work something good out of everything if we'll believe that and let it happen.

And you know, Jesus when he was in the garden, he was in the garden, he had a rough time. I mean, he three times he went away and prayed, but God would remove the cup from him.

So I think it's safe to say he really, really did not want to go to the cross, but he always followed it up with if possible, remove this cup from me.

And never realize your will be done and not mine. And we don't understand when people die. We don't understand when a young person gets sick and dies.

But this is where that unquestioning trust comes in that we just know in part, we don't understand everything and that I just want to encourage anybody that's watching today that is grieving.

And I ask God to comfort you because he wants to do that. And I don't know how he goes about it. But God is the one that can get on the inside of you and make things happen that nobody else can happen.

I just want to share one funny story through this whole terrible process. We were sitting around the hospital bed at this time when we were, Mark was on a ventilator and they were going to take him off.
