Happy birthday, Mom! 80 years old and still going strong…and getting better with age. (I’d like to think I had something to do with keeping you young. 😉) Thanks for being a great Mom and friend. I love you!!
No matter what you are going through, lift it up to God and say, "God, I trust that You are working in my life right now, and I'm expecting something good."
Pray! Pray! Pray about everything! Pray your way through the day, and don’t let the devil lie to you and tell you that God doesn’t hear your prayers! -Joyce

"God, I trust You. Maybe you're stretching me further than I would like to be stretched, but I do know that you love me. And at the right time in the right place, my breakthrough will come. And no one can keep me from getting it because God is my source. Amen!"
#encouragement
If you are going through a difficult time right now, don't be discouraged and run away. Trust God to be with you, and He will give you the grace and the wisdom to get through it.
"Father, I am grateful today for Your goodness in my life. I know that I haven't done anything to deserve it; You simply bless me because You love me. Thank You for Your perfect, unconditional love. In Jesus' name, Amen!"

"I am grateful, Father, that You will never fail me or forsake me. Thank You for the relationships in my life, but help me to remember to come to You for help before I go to any person. You are my number one source of help and strength. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
If you have a problem, don't merely pray for the problem to go away, or that you will get something you need or desire; pray that God will strengthen you during your waiting period. Pray that you will have the grace to wait with a thankful attitude.

You’re amazing & I pray over you in Jesus name that you become so powerful in God that all of Hell would shake when you get up in the morning! -Joyce

"God, I need your help. I know I can’t figure out a solution on my own, so I’m asking You to show me what to do. Help me remember that I’m not alone. Thank You for always taking care of me, and for staying with me no matter what. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
Don't be afraid of your past; it has no power over you except what you give it. Be thankful for all you have learned in the past, even from your mistakes, and also be thankful that today is a new beginning and that something good is going to happen to you today!
#JoyceQuote
God has a great plan for your life, and He wants you to fulfill it. If you make mistakes or encounter failure along the way, learn your lessons and then get up the next day and try again. God loves you, He wants you to love yourself, and He has a bright future in store for you!
The Bible says that God never sleeps nor slumbers. When you go to sleep at night, He stays up and watches over you. Relax and trust Him to strengthen you and keep you all the days of your life.

#TrustGod
No matter how deep of a pit you're in, God’s arm is not too short to reach in and lift you out. He will give you peace that passes all understanding and joy that you cannot describe. God will meet you where you are and help you get to where you need to be.
#HealingTheSoul
Trusting God allows you to enter His rest, and rest is a place of peace where you are able to enjoy life while waiting for Him to solve your problems. He cares for you; He will solve your problems and meet your needs, but you have to stop thinking and worrying about them.
“God, I need your help. I’m really struggling and I know I can’t figure out a solution on my own. I pray that You will show me what to do. Help me remember that I’m not alone. You’ve got me in the palm of Your hand and that’s the best place to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
"Father, today I choose to be full of thanksgiving for how far You have brought me. I may not be where I want to be yet, but I thank You that I'm not where I used to be. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
I encourage you to think positively about your life & be thankful for the good things God is doing & going to do. Even if you're going through a difficult situation, stand in faith, believing God will bring good out of it as He has promised in His Word.
#JoyceQuote
#StayPositive
You will find it difficult to trust God if you talk about your problems excessively, because the more you talk about them, the more upset you will be. Turn your thoughts elsewhere. Give your brain a break and you'll find yourself better able to rest in God.

Say this simple prayer today!

A Prayer for God's Help: "God, I need your help. I’m really struggling with [say what’s on your heart] and I know I can’t figure out a solution on my own. I pray that You will show me what to do. I’m listening, Lord. Help me remember that I’m not alone. In Jesus' name, Amen."
Don’t ever start your day without asking the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to do whatever is going to come your way. You can do whatever you need to do through Christ who is your strength, and He ministers to you through the Holy Spirit.

Do you believe God has the power to help you, and that since He has all wisdom, He knows exactly what to do and when to do it? Lean on Him completely and trust Him to give you the strength to do what you need to do, while you wait on Him to do what only He can do.
#JoyceQuote
Your battles belong to the Lord, and the victory belongs to you! Learn to trust God to fight with you and for you, and in the midst of all your earthly struggles, you will be more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ who loves you (see Romans 8:37).
#YourBattles
#JoyceQuote
Anytime you start to feel depressed or discouraged, start thanking God for the blessings in your life. You can stop the attacks of the enemy with gratitude.
#JoyceQuote
It's not really our job to change ourself. It's our job to agree with God and to stay in the Word in that area. As you feed yourself with the Word of God, that spiritual part of you will get stronger than that fleshly part of you and God will give you victory!
#JoyceQuote
God knows best, and His timing is always exactly right. The fact that I don't feel ready to deal with something in my life doesn't mean that I'm not ready. God's timing is perfect, and His ways are not our ways, but they are higher and better than our ways (see Isa. 55:9).
Jesus encourages us to keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking. We need to do these things, day in and day out, so we can keep receiving what we need from God. One sincere prayer will produce more good fruit than years of our trying to solve our own problems!
The more we stop and ask God for directions, the more sensitive we become to the signals within from the Holy Spirit. He doesn't scream and yell at us; He simply whispers, "Uh, I wouldn't do that if I were you." He will always lead us to life and inner peace if we yield to Him.
You can trust that God is working on His plan for your life. His plan may not come on your timetable, but the arrival of your dream is coming. Just have a seat (trust in Him, enter His rest), and when the time is precisely right, He'll call your name.
#JoyceQuote

No matter what you are facing right now, God has a great life planned for you. It includes great peace, unspeakable joy, and every good thing you can imagine. Refuse to settle for anything less than God's best for you!

I urge you to make a priority of learning to think healthy thoughts that agree with God's Word. Don't let negative thoughts lead you into an unhappy life; choose positive thoughts that will strengthen and encourage you, and lead to a life of joy, peace, and victory.
