I'm only going to stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else's life. If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there's no point in me blaming you for what's wrong in my life.

Yes — that quote is correctly attributed to Joyce Meyer, the American Christian author, speaker, and Bible teacher.

“I'm only going to stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else's life. If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there's no point in me blaming you for what's wrong in my life.”
— Joyce Meyer

Context and Meaning

Joyce Meyer has often expressed this sentiment in her sermons and books about personal responsibility, faith, and spiritual growth. The quote reflects her belief that individuals must take ownership of their attitudes and choices rather than blame others for their unhappiness or failures.

She frequently emphasizes that spiritual maturity involves self-examination, accountability, and emotional honesty before God — recognizing that each person is responsible for their own heart, behavior, and relationship with Him.

Interpretation

“Stand before God and give an account” — refers to the biblical idea of personal accountability before God (Romans 14:12).
“No point in me blaming you” — highlights the futility of blame and the importance of self-correction.

Summary

This quote captures one of Joyce Meyer’s core teachings: that inner transformation begins with personal accountability, not external blame. It’s a reminder that faith requires humility — accepting that we control our own responses, even when we can’t control others.

With the author

I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it's like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.

Joyce Meyer

Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!

Joyce Meyer

Prayer doesn't just change things - it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.

Joyce Meyer

Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can't let our circumstances or what others do or don't do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.

Joyce Meyer

Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it's an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we're facing.

Joyce Meyer

When we believe the best of people, we let go of each thing they do that is hurtful to us. And we choose to think things like, 'I don't believe they meant to hurt me.' 'Maybe they're having a bad day or don't feel well.' 'They probably don't even realize how they sound.'

Joyce Meyer

I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.

Joyce Meyer

Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.

Phillip Noyce

Quite honestly, if we do manage to destroy the planet with our devil-may-care attitude to natural resources, I'd suggest we leave, as a dossier in our defence, the collected letters to agony aunts and uncles down the generations. It would certainly prove that we weren't all bad!

Mariella Frostrup

People think, 'She's a model. She must have such an attitude. She must be so stuck up.' But I'm normal. I cry. I'm not rich. I drive a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity.

Summer Altice
