This program has been made possible by the friends and partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

We go through things and it hurts, but when you feel the pain, you might as well just say, I'm growing.

Come on, I'm growing.

I'm Joyce Meyer. I've seen God's power transform my own life and He will do it for you.

Don't let trouble destroy your faith in God.

Just dig a little deeper.

You say, but it hurts.

Well, you know what the only time you're growing is when you're hurting.

And I'll tell you when you really grow, when you do the right thing and the right thing is not happening to you yet.

When you really, I mean, you're a pretty good person as far as, you know, a person can be good, which is not very good.

You know, you're trying to obey God. You're tithing. You're giving. You're serving. You're loving.

Well, how do we respond when bad things happen to good people?

Well, you know, God, don't you love me anymore? Don't ever say that to God.

I used to say that, well, God, don't you love me anymore? And in Romans 8, it says, let nothing separate you from the love of God which is found in Christ Jesus.

Don't ever say that. Just say, God, I know you love me. If you have to say it to gridded teeth, you say, God, I know you love me.

I know you're good. I know you love me. And I know that you're going to work this out for my good.

And then don't let it steal your faith in God. Let it drive you deeper.

But, Joyce, it hurts.

Well, I'm doing a devotional on the book of Psalms.

And man, I'll tell you, the way David prayed for his enemies, poked their eyes out, God, kill him.

Slam their kids against the wall. I mean, he was just like, it was bad. And I thought, what's with this?

Now, fast forward new government, we have to bless them. Forgive them. Help them if they have needs.
