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,

Simple Prayer, Simple Life.

Prayer is so much easier than we think.

It's simply talking to God,

something as natural as breathing.

We can pray any time, anywhere, about anything.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching. You know something that God

said to me years ago that really helped me? He said you know what you do you do a

lot better if you just act like you're desperate all the time.

Because even when you think you're doing good, really you're still desperate, you just don't know it.

And I think we need to seek God all the time just like we're desperate.

Don't just seek God one way when you got a problem and then get in another mode when you don't have a problem because he says,

if you're not listening to me when I'm

crying out to you when I'm calling to you when I'm trying to deal with you about

stuff then when you do need me and you get desperate and you cry out I'm not

going to answer you. Wow. Please have an

awesome relationship with God. Don't just try to use him to meet all your

needs when you have needs and ignore him the rest of the time.

I'm jealous for God. I want people to love him with their whole hearts.

I mean God is it. That's what this is about. He gives us life, he gives us free will and he

wants us to choose to give it back to him and to serve him passionately.
