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

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her Bible study on the Book of James.

Whatever we may be facing in life, the Book of James probably has something to say about it.

If we're going through a difficult time, it teaches us how to count it all joy, and grow stronger in the middle of it. If we're in need of guidance, it shows us how to count it all joy and grow stronger in the middle of it.

If we're in need of guidance, it shows us how to receive God's wisdom and experience the power

of prayer. Today, follow along as Joyce teaches a special Bible study of James and shares with

us the many valuable lessons it contains. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching from the book of

according to his word do it because he is not a man that he should lie,

but we have no idea when he will do it.

Therefore, if we want to enjoy the journey, we need to learn patience.

And we actually don't have to be upset about waiting because we can say this will happen in the right way at the right time.

Come on, in the right way at the right time.

Don't just tell other people, well, just be patient.

Your times are in the Lord's hand.

Take your own advice. Don't just give advice to other people. Take your own advice. What would you tell somebody else if they had your problem? What kind of an attitude would you tell them to have if they

were going through what you're going through right now? See, all we've got to do is just take

our own advice and we'll be in good shape. But we need to ask without doubt. Like I said,
