Joyce Meyer Devotional

Topic: God Is with You Do you have the confidence that God is with you at all times?   He is, and He wants all of us to have that assurance. Not just a mere hope, but assurance! Even when we don’t feel His presence or see any evidence that He is with us, we can have complete confidence that …

Topic: Inside Out Being confident will ultimately enable us to live a bolder life and do things we would not do without confidence, but themost important things that it does for us lie inside of us. Our true life is in us, and it is not found in what we own or what wedo for a living or who we …

Topic:Success comes in cans, not can’ts. Anonymous Can confidence become a habit, or is it something that we must wait to feel? I firmly believe we can become habitually confident. What is confidence? It is the belief that you are capable and able to do whatever it is that needs to be done. The world calls it self-confidence, but God’s …

Topic: Habit or Addiction? When is a destructive behavior a habit and when is it an addiction? We can have varying degrees of habits that more or less have control over us. But when a destructive habit is taken to extremes, then it usually becomes an addiction, something that one must do in order to feel calm or satisfied. When …

Topic: Emotional Wounds Everyone experiences emotional wounds in their life, some of them deeper than others. We all must learn not to allow our emotions to control us, but people who have been deeply wounded emotionally may have more difficulty doing so than others. If a person has been rejected, abandoned, or abused, it is probable that their emotions do …

Topic : Emotional Reactions We have learned behaviors that cause us to react to a variety of situations without even thinking. They are habits that have been formed through years of repetition. When we are upset, we react one way; when we are discouraged, it may be another way. When we are hurt, we may react in a completely different …

Topic:Righteous or Unrighteous Anger?   Righteous anger is a divine emotion, but it is anger directed toward evil rather than all the people and things in our life that inconvenience us. If we are going to get angry, why not get angry enough at poverty to do something about it? Or so angry at human trafficking that you pray and …

Topic:Self-Pity The habit of feeling sorry for ourselves is what I refer to as an ugly habit. There is nothing more unattractive to look at or more unpleasant to be around than a person who is prone to self- pity. It is very draining on everyone. I know a woman who was very sweet and pleasant all of her life, …

  Topic:    Living with Margin If you have a serious hurry habit, you will probably need to locate the roots of your problem. Hurry may just be a bad habit, but it can also be the fruit of procrastination. People who procrastinate and delay—who always wait until the last minute to do things—will always be in a hurry. Learn to live with …

Topic: The Benefits of Hurrying As I ponder what the benefits of hurrying are, I honestly cannot think of any. But I can quickly think of several disadvantages. Continual hurrying is bad for our health. It places stress on us, and we all know what that does. Hurrying harms our relationships. We either never take time to develop any, or if we do …
