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 thank you. Every moment we are given 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 full of joy and trusting that God is fulfilling

the ultimate purpose of our story.

Today, Joyce wants to encourage us to have a grateful heart, for when we actively practice

Thanksgiving, it will be the key to finding freedom from bitterness and fear, and embracing

God's best for us.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

I was watching my program on TV the other day.

I actually learned from myself.

And I talked about a morning when I felt like, and you know,

mornings are like...

I got to have my coffee and my quiet.

I don't want to talk to anybody.

I don't want to do anything for anybody.

I just need to have at least an hour with the Lord and my coffee before I can act decent.

Amen?

Like Pastor Tommy says, thank God for caffeine until the anointing kicks in.

So I remember God, I heard this on my program.

God put it on my heart that morning to make Dave a fruit salad.

He likes fruit salad, so he likes all this stuff cut up.
