Gratitude - Morning Prayer by Joyce Meyer

Notes from Joel Osteen's Your Best Life Now

Learn to see yourself as God sees you - as a winner, an overcomer, as "well able." God wants you to accomplish great things in life, and He's put incredible potential, gifts, and talents within you to enable you to do so. Start stepping out in faith and acting on the desires that He's placed in your heart.

Beware of associating with or adopting the attitudes of people, who, through their negative outlook and lack of self-esteem, will rob you of the greatness that God has for you

Joel Osteen's accompanying Prayer: 

I acknowledge my weakness, Father, knowing that as I trust You to work in and through me, You make me strong. You make me adequate despite my insecurities; You provide the power to accomplish all that You ask me to do.

I just love that and I wanted to share. Have a blessed day!!

The Secret of Happiness... Quotes from The Gift of Change

The Secret of happiness lies in knowing that we are in the world but not of it.

- In the Bible it is said that the Holy Spirit will give us a new mind. And who among us could not use that? It becomes fruitless to ask God to change our world ounce we recognize the world is merely the reflection of our thoughts. What we pray for is the healing of our minds.

- Wherever there is love there is God.

- We pay a high price for refusing to accept the part we play in causing our problem; if I don't see I caused it, then I can't see I can change it!*

- The ego is backed by the weight of an entire thought system constantly luring us away from love and limitlessness toward fear and scarcity.

- The ego is a mental addiction to the thing of fear, and only spiritual experience can break an addiction.

- The older we are, the more we know some things; the younger we are, the more we know others. Age only makes us smarter if we retain our bravery.

- Enlightenment is not a learning but an unlearning, a letting go of all the fear we've gathered as we've walked the path of life.

Prayer is the Medium of Miracles...

"Prayer is the Medium of Miracles... Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love is expressed."* If you want a miracle in your life, simply pray for one. For as long as you are willing to change your mind then God will change your life.
