Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching on the power of thank you. Every moment we are given is a gift from God.

While we're not always in control of the circumstances, we can choose to have a thankful mindset,

living each day full of joy and trusting that God is fulfilling

the ultimate purpose of our story. Today, Joyce wants to encourage us to have a grateful

heart, for when we actively practice Thanksgiving, it will be the key to finding freedom

from bitterness and fear, and embracing God's best for us. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

I remember when God told me to stop giving Dave the responsibility from my joy. And there's some other ladies here that need to

hear that. And probably some men. Don't make the person you're married to responsible to keep you

happy. Oh boy.

You should have a totally different attitude

when you get married.

My goal in life is to do everything I can do

to keep you happy.

I don't want to see yawning and, you know, to do everything I can do to keep you happy.

Now, I don't want to see yawning and, you know,

boy, you got quiet when I said that.

But see, here's the thing that you can't miss.

If your attitude is I'm going to live to make other people happy,

then God will make you

so happy you won't hardly be able to stand it.

Here's the thing.
