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, filled with hope.

Hope is the confident expectation that something good is going to happen

to us and through us, but it's very important we have our hope set in the right place.

We can place hope in many things, but only hope in our faithful Heavenly Father and his promises to us and his word will bring about the blessings he has for us.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker in praise and supplication,

started to know you.
