I have always loved Joyce Meyer’s books.It seems that what ever question I am seeking I can always find the beginning or even the whole answer in one of her books. They direct me to relevant quotes in the Bible for further study and reflection.
This book was no different. In this book Joyce Myers talks about how we let things worry us and burden us when we should not. She points out that the Bible says that God will give you rest and she goes on to explain how to obtain a state of mind to where you are depending upon God entirely.
As she demonstrates this is not an always easy thing for us to accomplish. First comes prayer. She shows how ones prayer life is vital to having a relationship with God and how that can help us learn to depend entirely on on him. She also shows that too many times we only go to God when we are desperate and we start begging him for help for something. This is the wrong thing to do. Instead we should worship God at all times then when we need something we should then ask for help. Asking for help is not the be all end all of prayer life. I found this section quite enlightening. Joyce Myers goes into detail of why this is so. She does it in a way that anyone can understand. Her book is easy to read.
Another section I found fascinating was that God makes us go through silent years to where we don’t seem to be making much progress in the worldly sense but that God is grooming us and refining us to be what he meant for us to be. I read this part with rapt attention because it seems to fit my circumstances at the moment.
I found this book to be a good easy fun overall read. I learned a lot from it. It can be a little on the preachy side but nothing in the extreme. She states her lessons then backs it up with scripture.
