Joyce Meyer Quotes

It's funny how God will change your plans for you when he's ready.

God seeks us where we are, not so that we stay there, but so that we may come to be where He is, so that we may get beyond ourselves.

Sometimes, God may prioritize performing a miracle on our hearts and minds over a miracle concerning our circumstances.

God can change our circumstances, but sometimes He waits for us to show real desire for change as well as our faith in Him.

I'm walking this walk, and my life has nothing to do with my perception of the world. It's all God! How do I function within His plan?

Often God will send us what we need in a package we don't want. Why? To let us know He's God and we cannot second-guess Him. We cannot search for answers merely with our heads; we must seek Him and His provision with our hearts. Scripture cannot be interpreted from our limited human mental understanding. There must be a breath of the Spirit of God. He alone gives wise counsel and correct application.

A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things.

I think one of the most rewarding experiences in life is to see people come to Christ and make lifestyle changes. When that happens, you definitely see God behind it.

Prayer doesn't bend God's arm but it's guaranteed to bend our hearts toward His will. Worry less. Pray more.

I once heard somebody say that God had closed a door on an opportunity they had hoped for. But I've always wondered if when we want to do something that we know is right and good, God places that desire deep in our hearts because He wants it for us and it honors Him. Maybe there are times when we think a door has been closed and, instead of misinterpreting the circumstances, God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.

When God doesn't change a circumstance, He can change our hearts in knowing that He can change all things for the good.

God often waits until we're out of ideas before He lets us know His plans. He competes for our hearts, not our attention.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.
