Joyce’s passion to help people who are hurting is the foundation of Hand of Hope, the missions arm of Joyce Meyer Ministries. Each year, Hand of Hope provides millions of meals for the hungry and malnourished, installs freshwater wells in poor and remote areas, provides critical relief after natural disasters, and offers free medical and dental care to thousands through their hospitals and clinics worldwide. Through their Project GRL initiative, they rescue women and children from human trafficking, provide safe places where they can receive an education and nutritious meals, and seek to let all girls everywhere know they are loved and valued by God.
In 2023, Joyce founded Hope Mountain Ranch, an 800-acre refuge in Mount Pleasant, Utah. Inspired by her own personal journey, Hope Mountain Ranch is a place where people can experience the transformative power of God and find hope and healing. It also serves as the hub for Joyce Meyer Ministries’ outreaches across the United States.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, but it would have been on my shelf anyway. I’m passionate about changing my old stinking thinking to line up with my identity in Him. I have four children ages 11-6, and we do this every morning together. Sometimes we do an afternoon read as a reset to put our focus back where it should be. It’s not too mature for them to understand. It’s important that they know the power of their words and thoughts from a young age so they don’t spend decades trying to rewire negative tendencies. The daily devotions are the perfect amount of time to keep my attention and theirs. Highly recommend for anyone to break free from negative thoughts!
For weeks, this devotional sat on my bedside table, just waiting. During a particularly stressful morning, I finally felt a nudge from Holy Spirit to pick it up and open to Day 1. It was the definition of perfect timing. Each entry is a quick, powerful read and always seems to be the perfect Bible verse. I’ve found that starting my morning this way brings my faith to the forefront of my mind. It centers my thoughts on God’s truth before the noise and stress of the world have a chance to overtake my day. If you need a daily spiritual "reset," this is it.
I won this Christian devotional in a Goodreads giveaway and after reading multiple entries over the last week all I can say is, "Wow! This is exactly what I needed to give me mental fortitude to face the workday!" The devotions are written for Christians, but anyone dealing with worry, anxiety, negative attitudes or just needing encouragement or a stronger faith driven emotional intelligence will find this book helpful. For Christians looking to add reinforcement to these mind-strengthening messages I also recommend reading Joyce's "Battlefield of the Mind."
