Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Our relationships are such an important part of our lives. We prefer all our relationships to be positive,

but what about those who bring us stress or just kind of get on our nerves?

How can we be in a relationship with them?

Thankfully, God's Word is filled with the answers we need to have healthy relationships,

no matter how those around us behave.

Today, Joyce will share some of the ways we can all work toward having more joy and peace with everyone in our lives. Now here's Joyce with the series Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Any relationship you get into, any relationship you get into,

the first thing you should think is how can I make your life better?

How can I help you?

How can I edify you?

How can I build you up?

And there's something in us that screams what about me?

Can't you hear that cry coming out of the depths of your soul sometimes?

Who's gonna do something for me?

You know the thing is is if we serve other people in whatever way we can, little ways, big ways,

but lots of little ways.

I mean, a lot of this really that I'm talking about tonight
