Welcome to enjoying every day life with New York Times bestselling author Joyce

Meyer. On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series pressing in

and pressing on. To press is to push beyond opposition. It means leaving the

comfort zone and doing whatever it takes to attain what God has for us. We

must let go to grow. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching. I was talking

about peace earlier and I didn't even know what peace was until I married Dave

and after watching him be stable and and constant for a few years I thought I

want that. I don't want to be up and down and every time my circumstance

changed I'm you know getting mad all the time and throwing fits and I mean I

wanted peace. Well I prayed for peace. Oh God give me peace give me peace give me

peace and nothing changed you know why because Jesus said I leave you my

peace now stop allowing yourselves to get upset and disturb. So he's already

given us what we need we have to activate it and call on it and it took me a

few years but I got determined that I was going to live in peace and so I I

started the first thing I started doing was paying attention to what upset me. I

had to kind of back into my problem because you know sometimes you just mad

and you're angry before you even really know what's happening and so you maybe

have to kind of back into it and say what's the root of this problem? What's

going on? See I believe some people just because they're grieving over something

they lost 20 years ago it comes out of them in anger. We have to learn how to let

go of the things that are behind and let God bring us into new beginnings. God

has got a new beginning for every single one of you.
