Christian author, Joyce Meyer returns following Wake Up to the Word: 365 Devotions to Inspire You Each Day "Best Devotional" Top Books of 2016 with her latest: MY TIME WITH GOD Renewed in His Presence Daily — A 365 Day personal devotional filled with a collection of encouragements, quotes, confessions, and prayers.

Powerful, inspiring and uplifting, a great way to start your day!

God’s word is extremely powerful and it contains the power to renew our minds and change us into the image of Christ. He wants to have a close and intimate relationship with us. He has plans for all of us.

We all hope each day contains nothing but good and exciting things and goes according to our well-laid plans. However, this is not always the case.

Trusting God at all times, even before we have a challenge. We all are guilty of not setting aside the time to be with God and study His Word. To simply rest in His presence and listen. To be aware of Him. Trust Him.

When we trust God, we shut the door on fear and release peace and joy in our lives. Trust relieves stress and that helps our health and our relationships.

In this day and age of unrest and uncertainty in our country— and in our personal lives, we are often overwhelmed and filled with stress and anxiety. In addition, we crowd our schedules –our minds and our daily lives.

Whether you are hurting spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, or financially, He cares and wants to help. His will is for us to be in a growing intimate relationship with Him. We often do not take our cares to Him. Let Him into our lives and hearts, and give Him time.

I love Joyce Meyer’s devotionals! In addition to the advanced reading digital copy, I also purchased the hardcover. A beautiful book. I look forward to her devotional books in October (highly recommend 2016 copy as well).

I enjoy her beautiful and inspiring words and having a hardcover sitting on the bedside table is a daily reminder. Each day the reading ties in with the season and coincides with the specific time of the year. Easy to read and well organized for devotional; morning or evening, or both. A perfect gift for Christmas or other occasions and a great way to start the new year.

Each day offers a different topic. A scripture verse, and a note from the author. A devotional and a short prayer. Anyone can stop and spend a few short minutes to read, pray, and reflect. A way to kick-start your day. If we are too busy to seek God, then we are too busy.

You do not have to start in January. I started from today’s date and you working my way through. I especially enjoyed the one about Living Large. He is a God of abundance. He wants us to live large, free and have a full life. The author encourages us not to be afraid to ask God for big things. Don’t settle for less than the best life that you can have. “Don’t let your own small thinking keep you trapped in a little life.”

Another favorite, Waiting on God. I am a very impatient person. “Waiting on God is mostly an attitude of the heart.” We have to wait on God to reveal Himself to us and show us His favor. We need to pray and refuse to take action without assurance that God is leading. Often this means waiting for God’s help and being patient. Wisdom to make good choices.

Ultimately, spending time with God regularly is the foundation of living the victorious life that Jesus died to give us. How do we use our time? Make each day count. Time is a gift.

Over the course of three years, Joyce Meyer recorded in her journal the personal devotions and inspirations that guided her busy life. From meditations and words to renew your minds for a closer walk with Him. The courage to be honest. Pray your way through the day.

“Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us . . . Psalm 62:8.

"Bad things can become good things when we put God in charge of all things!"

God created us and we are special to Him. He has a plan for our lives and loves us unconditionally. We all need a daily appointment with God. Discover a way of life that will try satisfy your soul.

Highly Recommend!

A special thank you to Faith Words/Center Street and NetGalley for an early reading copy.

This devotional was wonderful! I'm still new to Joyce Meyer's books, so I thought I would start with a devotional first. The writing is very honest and real with reflections and insight from the author about everyday life situations that can be turned into learning moments. There are a few devotions that are timed with the seasons and holidays (such as Thanksgiving and Christmas), but it can be started at any time of the year. It's definitely worth adding to your quiet time/devotional time!

I’ve never read a devotional before, but this one caught my eye in the bookstore and seemed compelling. It sat unread on my desk for about two years, but I’m working through it now and must say, it is special. Each day, a single verse from a scripture is offered, followed by an uplifting devotion that focuses on life application. If you take the time to digest these messages and think about how they can be applied to the current events in your life, you’ll find the messages, although simple, can be transformative.

Each devotion helps you reframe how you look at the world. If you set aside a few minutes after reading to internalize the messages, you’ll find each lesson can help shape the lens through which you view the world. You can *choose* to see the positive side of things, through your faith, and you can feel a greater appreciation for the blessings you may take for granted. You can become a better person.

It is easier to do this with another person - otherwise you may get lazy and speed through the devotions when, really, the blessing comes through the reflection and/or discussion. Do you know an elderly person who is Christian and might like a daily phone call? If so, you can buy them a large print version of the book, read it together on a daily call, and then discuss the devotion - as well as many other things, I’m sure. If they were lonely, this will be a blessing greater than you can imagine. You, too, will be enriched in more ways than one.

My Time with God

Renewed in His Presence Daily
by Joyce Meyer

FaithWords / Center Street

Christian

Pub Date 10 Oct 2017

I am reviewing a copy of My Time With God Through FaithWords and Netgalley:

We are reminded in this devotional that God is our vindicator. That God loves us. This devotional encourages us to take the time to listen to God. We are encouraged to Bear Good fruit and to prioritize.

Meyers goes on to remind us in this devotional that Life is What We Make It. We are encouraged to let go of worry, and to count our blessings. We are reminded too that we need to receive forgiveness. The importance of waiting on God is also pointed out.

My Time With God goes on to talk about the importance of helping those who have less than we do. We need to mind our thoughts and words as well making sure they are pleasing to God. There are times too when we need to accept God’s help. We are encouraged to have childlike faith.

We are reminded too that we are blessed by obedience. We are reminded too that we can’t hide anything from God! Meyers points out too that God wants us to be happy and enjoy life. We are reminded too that God is with us in our likeness.

From faith to forgiveness, from healing to hurt My Time With God is a devotional that covers many aspects of our daily walk.

I give My Time With God Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!

Joyce Meyer is a mainstay in my household. Her reflections on life in faith play an almost daily if not daily part of family life.

My Time with God offers devotional thoughts, coupled with prayers or calls to action, arranged for daily reference throughout a calendar year. It is amazing to me that Joyce is able to produce such books and explore so many topics.

I would highly recommend this book, along with others from Joyce Meyers, as sources of inspiration, encouragement, and personal prayer and reflection.

Buku ini sangat bagus buat teman-teman yang ingin memperbaiki hubungan dan lebih berkomunikasi dengan Tuhan. Dikemas dalam penyampaian agama Kristen, tetapi ditulis dengan indah. Saya sering bingung dengan penyampaian buku keagamaan, tetapi buku ini mudah dipahami dan membawa kedamaian untuk saya yang bukan umat Kristen

Gracias por acercarme mas a Dios este año 2033

Recomiendo este devocional para que lo acompañe durante tu año, en él encontrarás versículos pero sobre todo pensamientos que para ser sincera se parecían bastante a los míos, todos FM el algún momento sentimos calma, ansiedad, soledad, gozo, gratitud, tristeza a lo largo de 365 días. Lean!

A year-long project with daily inspirational readings. Even if you're not religious, Joyce's no nonsense (and at times funny) approach helps to change any mindset to a more positive one. I did take one star off because after reading a couple of her books the teachings get a little repetitive.

Easy to understand and implement.

The daily readings are down to earth, Where a person lives. The prayers help a person put into action what has been taught.

This has to be my favourite Joyce Meyer devotional so far.
Each day has a scripture reading, a thought for the day and is followed by either a prayer or a proclamation.
The thoughts are more personal than in her other devotional and I value the fact that we can read her prayers which are relevant to the thought and help us to live in tune with God.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.
