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

You know, there was a long time in my life where I expected Dave to keep me happy.

And one day God finally gave me a revelation. He said, stop giving Dave the responsibility

for your joy. Now, you know, there's somebody watching today that could learn a lot from that. I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe

that God can heal you everywhere you heard. Well, thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life, where I will be teaching

you the Word of God.

One of the most important things that you can know is the word. You know,

every time you hear the word it helps renew your mind and the more you learn to

think like God thinks, which is thinking according to the word of God, the more of his plan for

your life you're going to have.

Our mind is so, so, so important. Our mind affects our emotions, it affects what we say, and it affects

how we act and behave. So you need to go back to basics and think about what you're thinking about and make sure

that your thoughts are lining up with what you really want to have in your life.

I started yesterday talking about ways to increase your joy and the first thing I talked

about was to start your day with God. That's so important. And then have a goal for each day,

have a dream. Make sure that you're productive and that you

accomplish something. And then the third thing was make a decision to help other

people. It's so important that we get our mind off of ourselves and on to being a blessing to other people.

The next thing I want to talk to you about is to re-examine your expectations.

You know, a lot of times we set ourselves up for a miserable day

because we're expecting somebody to do something for us

and they don't even know we're expecting it. Well I expected you to call me.
