You think I've lost my joy, I don't know why I've lost my joy.

Well one of the things you could do is ask yourself what have I been doing for somebody else?

You might connect the dots really fast.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Father, thank you for the word today.

We know that selfishness is just ingrained in all of us and

we really need to hear the word in this area

over and over and over to ever hope to keep it out. So help us today keep our ears

open and hear everything that you have to say in Jesus name. Amen.

Well it's not good to start your day with your mind set on you.

Galatians 3-2 says set your mind and keep it set on things that are above.

Now that doesn't mean to just sit around somewhere and think about the stars and the clouds and the angels and you know I mean that may all have its place and it's good but I believe when he says set your mind on things above that he's talking about setting your mind on the will of God.

Set your mind. You have to make your mind up and the earlier you do it in the day,

the better off you're going to be.

Sometimes if you get a wrong start start a whole day can go bad.

So I just want to urge you from the time you open your little peepers in the morning or before they're even open but you're awake inside not wanting to open them.

Don't let yourself get into that what about me mentality.

It's very easy to lay there and think about everything that could make you happy that day and how mad you are at all the people that aren't giving you what you need

And you could just work yourself up into a real fit before you ever put your feet on the floor just with your

thoughts.

And I used to be that way, spend a lot of years like that, but I also spend a lot of years
