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. You cannot be negative and be happy

and enjoy your life. Our attitude is connected to our thinking. An attitude is really just

the posture you take toward life.

How am I going to look at my life?

How am I going to look at the things that happened to me?

You know, I prayed for many years like most of us do

for my problems to go away so I could be happy.

Make this go away so I can be happy.

I wasted a few years thinking like that and I finally realized that God wasn't going to change my

problems.

If anything, things could get worse because of the way things are going in the world,

but it was me he wanted to change.

Good.

One person agrees with that.

Could anybody in here possibly think that maybe, just maybe, probably not, but maybe you're the problem.

I love you.

You know, I was praying for Dave to change because I knew Dave was the problem and I mean I was

after I mean this had been 40 years ago but I was like God you got to change Dave I can't take this
