Joyce Meyer Trying Quotations

Anytime we step out boldly to make changes, we take a chance that we might fail. But the only way to get better is to try.

Our enemy, the devil, wants to control us, and his target is our will. The main way he tries to influence our will is through lying to us.

We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.

I want to let you in on a little secret: I don't always feel like I'm a success. That's right. There are plenty of times when I feel like I've just totally messed up and failed to connect with the people I'm trying to communicate with.

We can never make ourselves better by trying... praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don't get me wrong... it's not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it's good. It's just that doing them in God's power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.

It's just human nature to try and figure things out. So, when we're in the midst of a situation, we usually try to reason our way through it.

It's amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they're doing. I've learned to take notice of those things and if it's something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.

People who pity themselves think, 'Why would I try to do anything? I'll just fail.'

I'm never a failure, unless I quit trying, and neither are you.

Unhappiness comes when you try to be like everyone else rather than embracing the unique person that you are.

God doesn’t want us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold, con dent and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith.

God's grace will never be available to you to become another person. He created to be you - the best "you" you can be! Forget about trying to be someone else.

Either we will spend our lives trying to take care of ourselves or we will let go and let God take care of us as we put our faith and trust in Him.

If you want to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure, just spend your life trying to do something that is not right for you. It is just like trying to wear shoes that don't fit.

It is not that we don't have faith it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies.

Worrying is trying to figure out what to do to save yourself rather than trusting in God for deliverance.

Fear will try to keep you from taking that first step. Don't give in to fear, do it afraid.

Do you feel disappointed because something you planned didn’t work out If so you can get re-appointed today. In God there are never any dead-ends only detours. Don’t ever give up. Just keep trying until you succeed.

Don't try to change people. It won't work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change people!

We are not a failure just because we fail at something. Nobody is a failure unless they quit trying!

Everytime you feed the flesh, you strenghten it. This is good if you are trying to build a good habit, but detrimental if you are trying to stop a bad habit. The way to "kill the flesh" is to starve it; to stop feeding it.

Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
