Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching us how we can find healing for our souls. There

are moments in life that leave our souls wounded. The pain from these wounds can hurt so deep

that we can't let them go and move on. Instead we become paralyzed in our pain, stuck

and hurting. But there is hope. Today Joyce draws from her own history of abuse to share

how Christ's redeeming love can heal our wounds and bring true joy to our life. Now here's

Joyce with today's teaching. Don't you wish sometimes you can just throw that phone out the window somewhere, but yet

if you, on one hand, you hate it, but if you leave the house without it, you get in a panic

and go back to get it.

We can't be gone for one hour without the cell phone.

Lord, I remember when if you wanted to make a phone

call, you had to pull up on the side of the road and use a pay phone. I remember when we had

party lines and you'd pick up the phone and if somebody else, you know, but we didn't, we didn't get

phone calls like that back then. I mean, if you got a phone

call a week, that was a lot. I don't know when we all got so important, but boy, we are important.

Man, we are important. We have to be available every second of the day for everybody who might

want us. And my gosh, if you pick your cell phone up and you don't have a full signal,

you just get so mad. Come on, you know exactly where I'm at, where I'm coming from.

And everybody's tired of it, but nobody does anything about it.

The next new iPhone will come out and you'll get in line at midnight to make sure you get yours

because it might, I don't know, now they have them that'll recognize your face and you don't have to do anything else.

You know, we just keep wanting it more and more
