Welcome to enjoying everyday life with the 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, that's all I do is work. And I mean, God

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 for every

blessing that you can think of that you have.

Because those negative bad thoughts are the devil trying to plant seeds in your mind

That if you water them by continuing to meditate on them will affect your emotions

and the words that come out of your mouth and you can just talk yourself into having a lousy day, but you don't have to. And we don't have days to waste.

So this weekend I'm going to do a three-part series called,

Your Life is what you make it.
