Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life with New York Times Best Selling Author Joy Smire.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Blessed in the Mess.

Choosing to trust God despite our circumstances is the answer to everything.

This doesn't mean we sit back and do nothing while God fixes all our problems.

It means we can live with joy and be a blessing to someone else while he works things out in his way and in his perfect timing.

If we tend to God's business, he will take care of ours.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

You know, like, for example, if I sin and I'm miserable with guilt because I've sinned, I can take a good dose of God forgives me.

I can take a good dose of the mercy of God and be healed in my soul.

If I'm mad at somebody else because they've hurt me, I can take a good dose of I forgive you and be completely healed.

If I'm sick with jealousy because somebody else is getting what I want, I can take a great big dose of contentment and my soul can be healed.

But there's one thing that is the answer to every problem that ails us and it's called trust God and do good.

If you have a nice big bottle of both of these things in your house, I don't care what ails you, you've got what you need to always be well.

Now, look, this is a prescription for trust. It comes from Dr. Jesus.

The patient is prescribed far as whosoever. Take as many as you need for as long as you need. Refills are endless.

But you have to be careful. This stuff has side effects.

I mean, when you start taking trust, well, you have a side effect of peace, joy, stability, confidence.

Better life. And then if you match it up with some do good.

See, I think a lot of times we think, well, I'm trusting God, but what are you doing?

While you're trusting God, are you sowing some good seeds in somebody else's life?

And believe it even though you can't fix your own problem, you can help somebody else and through doing that, you're sowing a seed that will then bring a harvest in your life.

And even something as devastating as the earthquake in the Paul.
