This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

If we are willing to suffer in order to do the right thing, no matter who likes it or what it costs us, God will reward us.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and he will do it for you.

You can change your whole life by simply changing your attitude.

I mean that.

You know, you can just...

Maybe you have a self-pitying attitude because your life's been kind of rough.

Maybe you have a real negative attitude.

You see everything from the negative point of view.

Some people just because of their personalities are a little more given to that.

I would be one of those people that would tend to be that way, but I'm telling you that it can change.

I cannot stand negativity now.

And I used to be just the opposite.

But tonight I'm just going to talk to you about attitudes in general and how important they are.

And your attitude is your thought life turned inside out.

Your attitude is the mental posture that you take toward whatever is happening in your life.

It's how you decide that you're going to approach it and the way you're going to think about it.

And the attitude that we have, more than anything, the attitude we have in hard times shows who we are and what we really believe about God.

We can talk about faith and we can sing our songs and jump up and down and shout and holler.

But we really see what people are made out of when they're going through trouble.

And I believe it's God's goal for all of us to learn how to be the same,

whether our circumstances are good or they're not so good believing that he's in control
