There is a saying: Let go and Let God. It's difficult to let go when you are under attack, whether it's an illness, a large debt, a lost loved one, or problems at your job. Meyer offers readers a book with sage advice, scripture, and bible stories to explain how easy it really is not only to give it to God but to grow stronger, emotionally and spiritually.

This book is set up in two parts: one is "The Battle Belongs to the Lord" and "Transformed through Worship."

Joyce starts by explaining fear - it's the first thing we feel along with thoughts of 'what if.' Joyce reminds us to "pray about everything and fear nothing." She believes it's important to pray until we know we have emotional and mental victory over the spirit of fear. She provides scriptures and repeats the story of Jesus telling Peter and the others where to cast their nets. No matter how we feel or the fear we experience, we should obey God. Joyce tells us it's important to seek a word from the Lord as well. She explains with the story of Jehoshaphat and how he sought a word from God. Meyer also uses Gideon and Elijah and their battles to help us better understand God's Word and how to use it during our trial and tribulations. What do these three figures on God's book have in common during their battle? They listened for God. They trusted him. They worshiped and thanked him all before asking to be delivered.

Joyce offers a power message in The Battle Belongs to the Lord. You don't want to miss it.

Jodi Carlisle gives listeners a flawless narration of the audio version. She has narrated previous titles for Meyer, as well. You may also recognize her voice from the films Rugrats Go Wild, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, Chaplin (w/ Robert Downey Jr), and Speechless.
