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

See a lot of you, you could have so much more rest, so much less stress.

You would just stop trying to get your worth and value out of doing everything yourself

or being afraid that somebody else might get a little credit.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God

can heal you everywhere you hurt. All right the search for self-worth. You know, everybody wants to know that they matter.

Everybody. And a lot of people feel they don't matter. They feel like they don't have any purpose.

They don't know what their purpose is. They don't know what their value is.

Why am I here? What's this all about? And so if you happen to grow up in a dysfunctional

atmosphere that makes it even worse. I think everybody

searches for self-worth but your parents can help you a lot if they start early in your

life. you a lot if they start early in your life telling you that you're worth something

and that you're important and that you have value and that you can do great things

and if you got to grow up like that you should thank God every day of your life

that you did because many of us did not get to grow up that way. I was one of them and

So I had this little record playing in my head for most of the years of my life

What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?

And of course I thought something was wrong with me

because my dad sexually abused me.

I knew that that wasn't right and that it wasn't happening to everybody else I knew so I thought what what's wrong with me what's wrong with me.

It's interesting that children will take the blame of something on themselves and an adult

is doing to them and you think well what's wrong with me that you want to do this
