The Holy Spirit knows precisely the right timing in our lives. I always say, “Only the Holy Spirit knows when you are ready for what.” In other words, the Spirit of the Lord is the only One Who knows what it will take to help you, and when you are ready to receive help.
— Joyce Meyer, Beauty for Ashes: Receiving Emotional Healing
Grace equals ability. God gives us grace to match our call. When we do our own thing, we do it on our own. When we follow His leading, He always supplies the grace and the energy to do what He’s calling us to do.

— Joyce Meyer
Mercy is the stuff you give to people that don’t deserve it.
— Joyce Meyer
Turn your situation over to God because He can do more in a moment than you can do in a lifetime. – Joyce Meyer
— Joyce Meyer
Satan frequently steals the will of God from us due to reasoning. The Lord may direct us to do a certain thing, but if it does not make sense – if it is not logical – we may be tempted to disregard it. What God leads a person to do does not always make logical sense to his mind. His spirit may affirm it and His mind reject it, especially if it would be out of the ordinary or unpleasant or if it would require personal sacrifice or discomfort.
— Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind
Go home, and let all your relatives off the potter’s wheel. You are not the potter!
— Joyce Meyer
Complaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.
— Joyce Meyer
I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
— Joyce Meyer
Watch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.
— Joyce Meyer
I’m only going to stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else’s life. If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there’s no point in me blaming you for what’s wrong in my life.
— Joyce Meyer
Reproach is shame, blame, disgrace, disapproval and a disrespectful attitude toward yourself. When you’re under reproach, your behavior shows it.
— Joyce Meyer
Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.
— Joyce Meyer
I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‘Yeah, give me some of that?’
— Joyce Meyer
Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.
— Joyce Meyer
Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it’s an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we’re facing.
— Joyce Meyer
If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn’t mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else’s bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?
— Joyce Meyer
Refuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.
— Joyce Meyer
It’s like a jar of salad dressing sitting on a shelf… most of the seasoning settles to the bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients mix together and then the dressing can add flavor to a salad. In the same way, we can stir ourselves up and regain the reverence, respect and awe we once had for the Lord.
— Joyce Meyer
A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.
— Joyce Meyer
We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn’t make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.
— Joyce Meyer
Loving others always costs us something and requires effort. And you have to decide to do it on purpose. You can’t wait for a feeling to motivate you.
— Joyce Meyer
Don’t judge other people. For example, if you want God’s anointing to be on you for parenting, you need to be careful not to criticize other parents.
— Joyce Meyer
It’s so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy. Losing your cool makes you tired. Getting angry a lot messes with your health.
— Joyce Meyer
At school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else. I never felt like I fit in, and I wasn’t allowed to participate in after-school activities, go to sports events or parties or date boys. Many times I had to make up stories about why I couldn’t do anything with my classmates.
— Joyce Meyer
Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you’re not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!
— Joyce Meyer
Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.
— Joyce Meyer
Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.
— Joyce Meyer
God’s grace is amazing! We’re saved by grace – God’s undeserved favor – and we live by grace, which is also God’s power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it’s all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely.
— Joyce Meyer
Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we’re waiting.
— Joyce Meyer
I have learned that I really do have discipline, self-control, and patience. But they were given to me as a seed, and it’s up to me to choose to develop them.
— Joyce Meyer
I used to let other people’s struggles affect my happiness. If they weren’t happy, there was no way I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn’t happy, I didn’t want anyone around me to be happy.
— Joyce Meyer
God’s mercy is fresh and new every morning.
— Joyce Meyer
I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
— Joyce Meyer
I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.
— Joyce Meyer
Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.
— Joyce Meyer
Stay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed!
— Joyce Meyer
Learning to live for others isn’t something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.
— Joyce Meyer
As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God’s word to justify bigotry and persecution.
— Joyce Meyer
If someone decides they’re not going to be happy, it’s not your problem. You don’t have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.
— Joyce Meyer
When we believe the best of people, we let go of each thing they do that is hurtful to us. And we choose to think things like, ‘I don’t believe they meant to hurt me.’ ‘Maybe they’re having a bad day or don’t feel well.’ ‘They probably don’t even realize how they sound.’
— Joyce Meyer
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!
— Joyce Meyer
When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.
— Joyce Meyer
It’s amazing to me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won’t lift a finger to help at home!
— Joyce Meyer
When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.
— Joyce Meyer
It’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.
— Joyce Meyer
Anytime we step out boldly to make changes, we take a chance that we might fail. But the only way to get better is to try.
— Joyce Meyer
There’s no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.
— Joyce Meyer
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.
— Joyce Meyer
Prayer doesn’t just change things – it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.
— Joyce Meyer
Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!
— Joyce Meyer
When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!
— Joyce Meyer
The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.
— Joyce Meyer
I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.
— Joyce Meyer
There are some hurts that we experience that can be forgiven but we won’t forget them.
— Joyce Meyer
I can tell you from experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author of all true success and everything that is good-without Him, we can do nothing of true value.
— Joyce Meyer
The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror!
— Joyce Meyer
The Bible says to ‘fear not, ‘ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.
— Joyce Meyer
Dread, which is closely related to fear, steals the ability to enjoy ordinary life and makes people anxious about the future. It keeps them from looking forward to the next day, the next month, or the next decade.
— Joyce Meyer
We can fear things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can happen.
— Joyce Meyer
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable. As a result, the atmosphere of our home was super-charged with fear because you never knew if what you did would make him mad or not.
— Joyce Meyer
When you’re in a leadership role, you can never please all of the people all of the time. There’s also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not realize.
— Joyce Meyer
Some people have a difficult time facing truth and reality. They prefer to live in a make-believe world, pretending that certain things aren’t happening.
— Joyce Meyer
Some people have a hard time getting rid of stuff. If that’s you, pray for God to give you the courage to get rid of things you don’t really need or things He wants you to give away. This will help keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free.
— Joyce Meyer
You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.
— Joyce Meyer
I believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‘God is not mad at you.’ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‘That is exactly what I needed to hear today.’ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.
— Joyce Meyer
We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That’s why we have the gift of faith.
— Joyce Meyer
When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God’s Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.
— Joyce Meyer
I’ve learned through my own relationship with God that He’s not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.
— Joyce Meyer
Early on in my life, I had a broken soul. I was abused by my father, abandoned by my mother and ended up in a destructive first marriage. By the time I was 23, I was broken in my soul. I didn’t know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn’t even smell like smoke.
— Joyce Meyer
We want our marriage to be a triumph, not a tragedy.
— Joyce Meyer
Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn’t. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.
— Joyce Meyer
Humility may well be one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us – and to maintain. That’s because without humility, it’s not likely that you will put your complete trust in God.
— Joyce Meyer
Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.
— Joyce Meyer
I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.
— Joyce Meyer
When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can’t budge you from believing God, he won’t know what to do with you anymore.
— Joyce Meyer
When you make a mistake and the devil comes and tells you ‘You’re no good, ‘ you don’t have to take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and cleansing you with the blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His grace and forgiveness.
— Joyce Meyer
Forgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.
— Joyce Meyer
Forgiveness is not a one-time thing that happened the day you received Christ. It is an everyday thing, for the rest of your life.
— Joyce Meyer
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don’t see what goes on underground – as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don’t see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
— Joyce Meyer
Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.
— Joyce Meyer
I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.
— Joyce Meyer
Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can’t comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there’s no life and love inside.
— Joyce Meyer
I tell people, and it’s the truth, I could sit in my garage for a week and it won’t make me a car. And you can sit in church till your bottom is flat and that won’t make you a servant of Christ.
— Joyce Meyer
When your soul is resting, your emotions are okay, your mind is okay, and your will is at peace with God, not resisting what He’s doing.
— Joyce Meyer
Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children. I know, because for many years my life was not peaceful, and I was miserable.
— Joyce Meyer
It seems like a lot of people seek their peace in things. And most of us are not even satisfied with the things we have… we always want more.
— Joyce Meyer
When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.
— Joyce Meyer
What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don’t want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we’re too religious, we won’t be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.
— Joyce Meyer
In my relationship with God, I’ve learned that if I follow a ‘formula’ for how I spend my time with Him, then I’m just accomplishing a checklist of things I feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful.
— Joyce Meyer
We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.
— Joyce Meyer
Prayer is such a basic foundation of a Christian’s relationship with God. It’s how we communicate and fellowship with Him. But a surprising number of people, young and old, new and even long-time Christians, say they’re not satisfied with their prayer life.
— Joyce Meyer
People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.
— Joyce Meyer
The truth is God created us to have relationship with us. He wants to love us and take care of us, and He wants us to love Him. That’s where our walk with Christ has to start.
— Joyce Meyer
Real life is the life that’s in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you have or who you’re in relationship with.
— Joyce Meyer
I wonder how many times people give up just before a breakthrough – when they are on the very brink of success.
— Joyce Meyer
So many people live with anger and unforgiveness, and many of them are Christians.
— Joyce Meyer
Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.
— Joyce Meyer
Words are powerful; if you change your words, you can change your life.
— Joyce Meyer
Good intentions never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut.
— Joyce Meyer
Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things.
— Joyce Meyer
Each time we cooperate with God, we take one more giant step forward. Because when God asks us to change, it means that He always has something better to give us – more freedom, greater joy, and greater blessings.
— Joyce Meyer
We’re not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.
— Joyce Meyer
Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.
— Joyce Meyer
