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, only hope in our faithful heavenly father and his promises to us and his word will bring about the blessings he has for us

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching

Even if you have what is called a promise Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

You have one of those?

Okay.

Well, I used to have one of those too.

And it's like a little long recipe box and it just has

So I went to my promise box and I flipped it open that's where you're

supposed to do it you flip it open see and you pull out a card and that's supposed to be

something great for you for the day.

And I did it on purpose, just because I thought I might get something crazy

Well, sure enough, Isaiah 29-2, I will distress you and there
