If you’re worrying, if you’re praying from a place of doubt, defeat, “God, why is this happening? When is it going to work out?” That’s going to limit you. Pray from a place of victory. Pray what God promised you.
@JoelOsteen Every time you subtract negative from your life, you make room for more positive. Make room for all the blessings God wants to give you.
@JoelOsteen Shift your prayers to focus on gratitude, faith, and confidence in the promised positive outcomes, rather than dwelling on doubt and defeat.
@JoelOsteen The apostles were all murdered, most very slowly. Your prayers of victory would not only have been unavailing, they would have been counter to God's will. God grows his people through suffering, not prosperity.
@JoelOsteen Abundant Life for You! 🍞✝️ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35 KJV
