Patience is a fruit of the spirit that only grows under trial.

You can't get patience without trouble.

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

Your attitude determines the quality of your life. Your attitude is your outlook on life, especially the way you look at problems.

A good attitude, a positive attitude equals an enjoyable life.

Not necessarily one that's trouble-free, but one that's still good and enjoyable. Have you ever noticed that the

apostles, even with the great problems that they had,

always seem to keep a positive attitude in the midst of them. Thinking that you cannot have a problem and enjoy your life at the same time is not true.

Don't just look at what did happen to you, but look at what could have happened that didn't.

If you had a car accident and you're still alive, thank God for that.

A friend of mine was in a boat one day. She's gone home to be with the Lord now, but this has been many years ago and

she was actually

reading Psalm 91 sitting in the boat about how God will give his angels charge

over you and the boat hit a big wave and she fell over and hit her head on the side of the boat.

And right away she started, well God I don't understand this where were you where were my angels I was just

praying

About how angels will watch over me and God just spoke her and said you're not dead are you?

Do you know that every day you drive to and from work in traffic and get home alive is a miracle?

I mean it really is.

When you think about all the cars out there and the crazy people and my goodness.

So learn how to look at what didn't happen that could have happened.
