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.

But everything that I'm telling you guys

I didn't just get it sitting around wishing.

You have to fight the good fight of faith.

When those negative thoughts come and the doubt and the unbelief and the selfishness and the

self-centeredness and the weariness and the tiredness, can I tell you a secret and hopefully

it doesn't hurt your feelings, but let me tell you this.

Do you know sometimes I get so tired of doing this?

I mean let's just be honest.

Meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting

after meeting after meeting after meeting.

I'm going to Indonesia in January 50 hours in an airplane.

They're going to preach to those people.

I don't get a paycheck for that. I don't get nothing for that.

But you know what I do get?
