Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series,

Simplify your life.

A busy schedule can leave us feeling overwhelmed and utterly exhausted, but

we don't have to live this way. Jesus came to give us abundant overflowing joy- filled lives.

When we prioritize our time with God,

he'll help us have more peace and balance.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

I want to talk to you this morning about letting go

and learning how to enjoy your life.

Letting go and learning to enjoy.

And if we really learn how to live by grace through faith, then we can enjoy life. We can enjoy really every

single day of our life because when we really learn to live by grace, the

struggle goes and the frustration goes. God calls us to do work,

but not to get into works,

W-R-K-S of the flesh.

We have to understand there's a lot of work to do, and we need to do the part that God's given us to do.

But when we go beyond that and start to try to do God's part, that's when life gets miserable.

Works of the flesh is my energy trying to do God's job. You know that's

impossible don't you? Just think for a minute. The burden you take on yourself

when you try to be God.
