Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Pursuing What Matters Most.

Our personal relationship with God sets the tone for everything else in our life.

Seeking him should be our top priority and the best way to do that is to spend time in his word.

We get to know him by learning his word and

then applying its principles to our daily lives. Now here's Joyce with today's

teaching. I wonder how many people we've got listening to me right now that you feel like you have

fished all night and caught nothing.

Anybody know what I'm talking about.

Come on now.

Oh God, I'm doing everything that I thought you told me to do and nothing's working and I just don't understand God, what do you want me to do?

Oh, I know, I need to rebuke more devils. I need to pray more.

They were tired.

They had to pull the boats in, they had drugged these big nets out of the boat they had

them up on the shore they were cleaning the nets up because they knew they had to

get some sleep and then go back out again I guess they were looking forward to going by Starbucks and getting a muffin

and a cappuccino and really. And going on home, hugging the wife and the kids and crawling up under the

feather blanket and I don't know they probably slept on a rock or some gravel or

something I don't know but I'm sure they were looking forward to going home they

were tired and probably hungry and Jesus said go back out

come on now would you have done it go back out only go way out go deeper and lower your nets and

lower your nets and you'll catch more fish than you know what to do with.
