How to Be Happy No Matter What Happens: Rick Warren’s Guide to Lasting Joy
In the video “How to Be Happy No Matter What Happens,” Pastor Rick Warren offers practical advice on achieving lasting happiness, regardless of circumstances. He emphasizes that true happiness comes from a deep, inner joy rather than external factors.
The Role of Trusting God
Pastor Warren highlights that trusting God is crucial for maintaining happiness. He refers to Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages believers to trust in the Lord with all their heart and lean not on their own understanding. By placing trust in Christ, individuals can find peace even during difficult times.
Embracing a Positive Attitude
Warren explains that a positive attitude significantly impacts happiness. He cites Philippians 4:8, saying;
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
By cultivating a positive mindset and gratitude, people can enhance their overall sense of well-being.
Living with Purpose
According to Warren, living with a clear purpose contributes to lasting happiness. He references Jeremiah 29:11, where God promises a future filled with hope. By aligning their actions with God’s plan and purpose, individuals can experience a deeper and more enduring joy.
Insights to True Happiness
In summary, Pastor Rick Warren’s video provides valuable insights on how to be happy regardless of life’s challenges. Trusting God, maintaining a positive attitude, and living with purpose are key elements to achieving lasting happiness. These principles, supported by Bible verses, offer a practical guide for anyone seeking joy in their life. So, now that you know how to be happy, it’s time to act!
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.
Thank you for sharing that it was really beautiful. You made my night. Someday I’ll say hello to you in heaven God bless and welcome to the family
Amen praise God 👏
Coming to Jesus absolutely Beautiful!!
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
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 🙂

Thank you god for who you are 🙏🏾
Thank you pastor! I need this badly…i’ll always chose faith over fear! Amen
Thank you so much I’m glad you popped up “accidentally” on YouTube. 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.💕🙏
Praise God!
Just what I needed… Praise the Lord!
God bless you Pastor Rick. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you.
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.
Well said. God bless
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
