The demands of modern life can be all-consuming, making it hard to mute the distractions around you and receive God’s peace. Joyce calls this problem OVERLOAD. With her book, Joyce will help you identify the catalysts of worry in your life, as well as offer you the practical, effective advice and scriptural wisdom you need to manage stress—whether it arises from work, family challenges, relationship conflicts, or keeping up with the constant stream of information in a social media society.
i wanted to chat with you a little bit
today about a new book that i released
this week called overload
and i’m pretty sure that there’s
probably at least somebody watching
right now that’s dealing with stress in
your life you might feel overloaded
today i actually had a little case of
that myself this morning i was real busy
trying to get to the tv studio and kept
getting phone calls and things kept not
going the way that they should
and so i could probably use my book
myself today i need to get it back out
and look at it again
you know today our world is so full of
stress and so many people are not
enjoying life because they’re just
running from thing to thing to thing to
thing and i can tell you that is not the
way that god wants us to live that’s not
the way he wants us to live
i believe that we need to be
peaceful relaxed
being aware of the things
going on around us
excuse me
aware of god’s presence and
just uh really enjoying every day that
he gives us you know every day that god
gives you is a gift from him
and you need to open it up fully and
celebrate it so why don’t you
think about
why you’re stressed out and start
praying about those things and really
asking god to help you get to the root
of them and make some changes you know a
lot of times people will say well i’m
stressed out because of all the things
that i have to do
but let me ask you a question do we
really have to do everything that we
think we have to do
perhaps you’re giving yourself to things
that really is not something you even
should be doing anymore it might have
been right at one time but it’s not
right now
you know i’ve discovered in my life that
if i’m doing what god wants me to do he
will anoint me to do it which means
he’ll give me his grace and his power
which is his ability and it can have a
nice smooth flow in it but if i’m doing
a bunch of things that’s not what god
wants me to do or it’s old things that
he maybe wanted me to do at one time but
he’s finished with now then he won’t
give me that grace and that anointing
and i’ll struggle on my own and be
miserable
also
just before i go today let me ask you do
you have to do everything that everybody
asks you to do
you know so often
in order to please everybody around us
we just get our lives so messed up
trying to do so many things
so i want to encourage you to get the
book overload i think you’re going to
really enjoy it and if you know
somebody’s all stressed out when you buy
your copy why not buy two
and give it to somebody hey love you
hope you have a great
day and stay calm
