Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Life is What You Make It.

If we want to have a great life, we must learn to do things God's way.

We're all created with free choice, but if we're obedient to following his word, he will give us the desires

of our heart.

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

Several weeks ago, I got up one morning, and it was just one of those days where I kind of

felt like if I wasn't careful, I might just be in a bad mood.

And as I drank my coffee that morning, I started to have little tiny thoughts of self-pity.

Work, work, work, work,

because all I do is work.

And I mean,

God spoke to me clearly in my spirit,

and he said,

Joyce, your life is what you make it.

And I immediately put together a message

because I knew exactly what God was telling me.

You can have a miserable day if you want to, but you don't have to.

Come on.

And I know what to do.

The minute you start feeling sorry for yourself

the next thing you need to do is start thanking God
