An inspired devotional with meditations and declarations that lead into a more fulfilling time spent in devotion and prayer. A great guide to carve out daily time for spiritual connection.
If you're a fan of Joyce I'd recommend it. This has some good devotions with good tips. I enjoyed reading through them and her understanding of the scriptures.
Bible devotions are a great way to spend time with God and learn of him. I lead a busy life and I know that I must fight for time to spend time with God. He deserves it. This devotional by Joyce Meyer allows me to find peace in the word, and to look to God for guidance. I love how each devotional ends with a prayer. This devotional can be taken with me. The word will never leave my heart.
Great devotional book from Joyce Meyer. This devotional has 365 devotions that aren't dated, so you can start at the beginning of the book and work your way through starting whenever you like.
Another winner from Joyce Meyers. Her views and writing is a must for any one. This book is very well written and easy to read. Mrs. Meyer's has a way of making things very refreshing and at the same time, givng one food for thought. Thanks to NetGally, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.
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.

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!
Perfect 1 year devotional!
Don't wait for the new year to start it. I love that it's dated instead of just being 365 devotionals. Reading a devotional that is timed for the seasons is what I wanted.
Super quick to read each day but it doesn't skimp on knowledge for each day either. I've been using it to help kickstart a habit of journaling each morning. It literally takes a minute or two to read and leaves me with a topic to ponder and journal on.
I think this would also make a lovely gift!
A very soothing and comforting devotional with Joyce Meyer's signature flair! I am so honored I was able to review this and will continue to make it part of my daily morning spiritual routine.
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.
