This message has blessed me immensely. I don't have the right words to express how much i needed to hear this today and it won't be the last time I'll play it. God bless you man of God. 🙏🏽
One day, I wish I could meet you and give you a hug Pastor Rick. You are a wonderful man of God. I’m blessed by your awesome teaching. Thank you and I’ll pray for your health. ❤️❤️❤️ Much Love from Mobile, AL.
I’m not the type of person who posts comments on RUclips videos, but I have to say Thank you so much for your teachings. These are so good and it has helped me tremendously. God bless your ministry and your family! Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thank you Paster Rick This was nice timing for me I just finished reading Ephesian 3: 14-21 NIV then I went to Philippians in my Bible &. turned this video on and you are talking about Paul in Philippians .
Feeling so sad & depressed & I’m a super happy person. God is trying to tell me something in all these disappointments moving back to TEXAS & the nasty people I’ve been victim of since moving here....then, Rick popped into my feed... ❤️🙋♀️
I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. My son of 26 Abraham is in a hospital with a crisis of mental illness, which came at the age of 16 . Lord take care of my son in the name of Jesús. You are his doctor!
I love this sermon I watched it …. And rewatched….and rewatched Thank you so much My downfall is allowing others to control my happiness and living in the past/regrets I’m a work in progress however-- God is soooo good though :)
Im there too. Made huge mistakes and cant seem to move on. Its like i drank the pouson hoping THEY would die. Doesnt work that way. Iv suffered for years w depression too. I have to move on and live my life now. Not in the past.
Hello pastor Rick Warren, I absolutely love you're sermons about the bible. After a couple of videos I gave my life to Christ Jesus. What was weird is that in every you tube video I see, you always makes me tear up all the time 😂😂. Thankful to God that he led me to you're videos and it's not by chance I now feel it. What's actually weird is that I thought you had already talked about this the other day which even prompted me to update my what's app status which now reads "constantly seeking God's approval over man's validation 😊.weird enough is that I have just paused this video at 19:52 after you say it.I can't thank you enough for leading me to Christ Jesus.
What a wonderful and extremely important message to hear and practice! Thank you so much for Sharing it, Pastor Rick. I think it's vital to understand that no one should be expected to ignore problems they encounter or always act as though bad things and bad people don't exist. It is quite normal to experience pain, fear, and frustration. What makes the life-changing difference, as pointed out in this video, is to Not stay in that dejected state. Do your best to keep your focus on what's Good and what can be done to make things better. And above all else, don't let Anybody steal your happiness!! It's very clear to me that far too many seem to be on a mission to do so.
Thank you so much I’m glad you popped up “accidentally” on RUclips. I am a student of A course in miracles, most of my life I followed meditation gurus thinking that the bible is old hat. ACIM and The Chosen series have brought me to you pastor. You have enrich ACIM and The Chosen for me even further. I will be following your prayers every morning when I awake. Thank you. Thanks be to god.💕🙏
Thank you so much for this message, Pastor Rick. I’m so thankful for you! Choices I should make to be Happy-using Phil 1 as our guide 1. Remember that God can bring good out of ANYTHING- Rom 8:28, Psalm 34:1 I can only do this is I choose to look at every situation from God’s viewpoint and not my own. 2. NEVER let others control my attitude 3. Trust GOD to ALWAYS work things out. This gives me hope, courage and happiness. 4. Stay focused on my purpose, not my problem
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30
I know what he means but I'm not sure happiness is the right word. I think Peace is a better word. If you are happy when someone you love dies something is wrong with you you can however feel peace.
Thank you......🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😢pulled me out of an Anxiety attack.......Earths energy & hate & Divide is So heavy......... ( and BAD TIME to be a germaphobe. ......urghhhhh!,,,)........ I CHOSE TO BE HAPPY !!!!........... Let go , let God........❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌿

Plz pray for me. I need another surgery because they messed me up. I'm tired. Very serious. Plz pray for me. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. I want to walk again. God bless you.
I was very depressed, but you're right, I finally realized happiness is a choice, and even though I am very lonely I offer up any suffering to Christ for my many sins. And what people did to you is despicable.
I am going thru alot . I started on my book. Ñow I feel Gods been with me a long time. Im happy for you ,ýour wife and staff and most importañt GOD. Ì love you too
Physical pain is a big one to make you feel sorry for yourself. Cuz it affects everything you do. God showed me many other people that have it worse than i do. It changed my attitutude and perspective about my pain.
Luv this message. However isnt happy and joy two different things? Happy is fickle and comes from the flesh-- but joy is everlasting and comes from God.
Thank You, Pastor Rick for this Message! For ME to live IS CHRIST! HE is The ONLY Thing that Matters! What is Seen is TEMPORARY, what is UNseen is ETERNAL!!!!

I have Gods perspective, I can trust People praying got me I have the Holy Spirit Hope courage & happiness The story is not finished yet. Focus on God’s purpose, not

Amazing message Pastor . God bless you and family today and forever, I absolutely love ❤️ to hear your messages.. No doubt you are man used by God and all Heaven crews ..,,
Pastor Rick, You have been in my life for 16+ years. I was given, the Purpose Driven Life, by a Nurse at a cancer hospital. I had lost a leg and was having chemotherapy treatments. She gave me your book. I have follow some of your teachings. But about 2 weeks ago, I went head first into God. I realized I was nothing. I needed God. By the grace of God, I found you and started listening to you on RUclips. I listen to you each day and attend your online Sunday Services. I have signed up for a class starting in January 2022. Thank you for being a voice of God. Have a Very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and many blessings to you and your family.
Happy is short- lived, subject to feelings, emotions, external factors! Go for Joy! Joy of the Lord is our strength-from the bible. God in us, it is enough…
Wow!! I just listened to this. I'm agnostic. My aunt recommended this gentleman to me. What an eye opener!! I will listen to this again and study it in depth. Been going through depression and anxiety. This should help a lot. Definitely something bigger is out there. God bless you all!!!
For me to live is to serve Joyfully, patiently with love for the Lord. I will get round to circling everything in my Bible that you outlined. Thank you. Your fearlessness sounds heavenly
Thankful I found you a few weeks ago, I know your having health problems and I hope doing these videos bring you joy. These videos are helping me alot. Thank you
I will forever be grateful for the gospel teachings this kind soul has blessed me with. Everyday I am in agonizing pain over the loss of my family, but I remember the teachings of the scriptures, I pray, and I listen to God's word, and He delivers me from the pain. I am witness to a miracle nearly everyday. And every day, I heal a little more, and find a little more peace.
Please kindly pray for me to be happy even though I am suffering from so much pain from bone/blood cancer and I don’t have a compassionate supportive husband in my critical time of extreme pains and sufferings !

Choices I should make to be Happy-using Phil 1 as our guide
1. Remember that God can bring good out of ANYTHING- Rom 8:28, Psalm 34:1 I can only do this is I choose to look at every situation from God’s viewpoint and not my own.
2. NEVER let others control my attitude
3. Trust GOD to ALWAYS work things out. This gives me hope, courage and happiness.
4. Stay focused on my purpose, not my problem
I’m sorry people were mean to you and Kay..apparently they don’t truely know your hearts…you are awesome
That is part of the human nature of some.
It's not a reflection of Warren or Kay.
It's a reflection of themselves.
He is more than awesome. Super badass
I am overcoming an alcohol problem and smoking.. I needed this message today. Thank you. God bless. 🙏
Rick has helped me when low, may our good Lord Jesus continue blessing him
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30
I know what he means but I'm not sure happiness is the right word. I think Peace is a better word. If you are happy when someone you love dies something is wrong with you you can however feel peace.
I thank God for Rick’s wisdom and consistent excellent teachings!!
Pastor Rick I found you when I most needed you. You are a blessing. May God bless you and your family

Competitors - ego driven
Challengers - gossip

Hope courage & happiness
