It's so rare to see this kind of video on the internet, specially by young people. We all live in a world with so many distractions that can lead us away from Christ. And what you're doing on TH-cam is just amazing. God bless you so much. And a big Helloooooo from Brazil.
Wow girl... This sentence stuck with me : "What you believe will always affect how you behave" ... I realise that I am so pessimistic, worry so much and say so many negative things about myself (and others...) that I wonder when people look at me do they see Christ in me or they think I am not even a christian... I want to be a better representative of the body of Christ... So I want to work up my quiet time. Thank you for this video, it really inspires me ☺️
You’re not alone, I feel this way too so very often. I also think that I must not love myself enough to love others and that’s something that saddens me as well.
The most important time of my day is my early morning devotion. I started getting up early to pray and it has transformed my life: my level of patience has increased and I deal with everyday stress a lot better. Thanks for sharing your experience.
This is what i needed to hear. Unfortunately my patience is almost non existent and i struggle in other areas. Glory to King Jesus and thank you for you comment. God bless
Oh this is crazy for about a month I've been waking up almost every morning at 5 I look at the clock see what time it is and go back to sleep I know somewhere in my heart that God's waking me up to read.
@Sherry Sparks: LOL, that's definitely the Lord waking you up, in Isaiah 50:4 it says, "Morning by morning He wakens⏰ me and opens my understanding to His will." God bless you sweetie! God loves you😇
i haven’t spoken to god in almost a month . i can’t seem to get myself to talk to him . it feels new , like i’ve never talked to him before . but i’ve been moody , lazy , and i’ve cryed myself to sleep almost every night .
i’m so so sorry you are going through that. that can’t be easy. i sometime ago through periods like that too. what helps me is just making simple comments to him. like when something goes great, i just say “thanks God, i appreciate it.” eventually, conversations become easier. reading the bible also fills me with peace and motivates me to grow closer to Him. as well, church fellowship and a family of believers is CRUCIAL!! you need people who can encourage and who you can also pour into. i hope things get better for you, sending prayers your way!
I’m praying for you and I believe that you WILL be able to pray with joy and that you WILL regain the fire of God that you lost! Jesus loves you so much; come back home to him because that’s where you belong.❤️
Sorry you're at this place now dear. I understand. If I may-it really helps to focus on God's deep and unconditional love for you and to also remember that you can talk to Him anywhere, anytime. He always looks forward to hearing from you ❤
im praying that it’ll get better for you. i would recommend taking baby steps, don’t beat yourself up if you’re not where you used to be.. even a simple “thank you, God” goes a long way. it’ll help you build the courage and strength to continue speaking to Him consistently. you got this! ❤️❤️ God bless!
I felt God speaking to me through this video. I’ve been struggling with a dry quiet time lately and I recently began running an online Christian ministry. This has opened my eyes to the fact that I can’t neglect feeding myself from the word if I want to minister to others. Thank you, God, for reminding me of something so fundamental to my walk with you!
So there is this app called Alarmy. It makes you do things in order to turn off the alarm. I have to run to my kitchen and scan a barcode. Lol this will totally help you get up and get out of bed.
Lord, please help us wake up to have time with You and Your Word. may we love You more and read Your Word intentionally and consistently. may Your Word transform us. please help us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Awesome! I woke up around 4:30 this morning and thought of doing this. I think that’s God speaking😂😂I love Him! Anyone who is reading this: you are loved, adored and cared for by God. He wants to spend time with you and He loves you SOOOO MUCH He sent Jesus, His one and only son, to DIE for your sin! He offers forgiveness when we Repent and again He loves you. JESUS IS COMING BACK SO SOON AND I CAN’T WAIT TO LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER. Please pray for my family and friends that know Christ, thank you coffee and bible time!!!
My days have been full.. with work, chores, serving in church.. I read bible, pray, study bible everyday but still I felt soooo exhausted, weary, and down.. and I realized I even took bible, prayer and having time with God as 'work' recently. I was soo encouraged by your video, so thanks!! I will try that experiment too to wake up early and sit in stillness and in His presence and form my days around Him again!!
When I wake up early in the morning I’m not distracted by anything, no ones awake, nothings happening, it’s beautiful and peaceful outside, and for me at least, I feel closer to God! Normally we put our quiet time away because we have to do something else or “we don’t have time,” But what we don’t realize sometimes is that when we put God FIRST, he does the rest. He is our provider! 🙌🏼 🙏🏼 ♥️
I love getting up at midnight... As soon as the day begins. And yes time alone with God will transform your life in ways you could never fathom or imagine.
So every morning I’ve been getting up at 4am to journal. I haven’t dug into the Bible lately so thank you for this video. I definitely could add more of reading it in my quiet time. Tip for people wanting to get up early....get the Alarmy app. I have to run to my kitchen and scan a barcode before my alarm will go off. It has different things you can do like math, etc etc. it’s been very helpful at helping me get my butt out of bed so early.
You sweet girl!! You nailed it. I am a 52 yr. Old mom of 2 and oh the conviction , but also the encouragement you have given me! Thank you for such a sweet , sensitive video. 1 Timothy 4:12☺
I love this, I used to wake up & pray at 4am & it's been a long time since I've been in that position in my ❤️. This was so convicting & encouraging, I really want to do this again. God bless Sis & thank you for sharing.
God has been encouraging me recently to wake up extra early to spend extra time with Him. This video really hit the nail on the head! Tomorrow im going to wake up at 5:30 to give myself 1 hour and 15 minutes of quiet time with Him! I'm a morning person so hopefully this isn't too hard. Thank you
As I read the comments, I realized that I'm not the only one who struggles with their quiet time! Like, i knew i wasn't the only one but one day it changed your perspective and you're like 😯🤯☺. It's like 'Jesus loves you'. You've heard it, but It didn't hit you and then one day it did and you're perspective changed!!!
Mid afternoon is my quiet time. I've finished my morning housework and chores and I can really get into the word. In the morning I just keep thinking of everything I need to do. I think it's whatever works for you. I got up early (4:30 AM) for years when I was working. Retirement has totally changed me. I'm much more relaxed so I can enjoy my Bible study and prayer time without putting pressure on myself and thinking about what I should be doing. I think your idea is very good though.
I feel like this I was meant to watch this video today. I’ve been really struggling to find time in my day for quiet time due to not waking up early like I intend to. This has given me a kick in the butt to get up early and keep myself accountable. Thank you! 💛
This is so nice. I ve been setting my alarm to 5.30am for waking up and praying psalms and i found your video while i was looking tips for devotional prayer tips. And today i read the psalms 119 and sent it to my husband. Wow! Praise the LORD!
Prayer has gives me alot of peace.There’s this feeling that I have and I can’t really explain it but I know it’s not from God.And when I pray that feeling goes away and I’m just focused on God.For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.God bless
I try to wake up early but I end up not being able to get out of bed and be Intentional and I go back to sleep. I want to be more intentional in my mornings and really getting up to tackle the day! Tomorrow is Sabbath so I may give this a go.
Thank you for your encouragement. May God bless your quiet times with revelation, understanding and peace. Im bothered by insomnia, but try to put the time awake to good use which will not annoy my neighbours...studying the Word is perfect at any time but, actually making time for Jesus and not just slotting Him in when you've a bit free time is really beneficial, just like in any relationship. One aid to study I cannot live without now is reading aloud. I find this helps with my concentration and allows the words to sink into your brain through your ears.
This is a amazing!!! At times I feel so busy work, family, my family, my business…etc… lately I been hearing Gods voice telling me to wake up at 5am and meet with him. I want to share this Journey on my ch as well. God is so Good 😊 🙌🏽
In school I love to wake up at 5am , sit on my balcony, spend time with the Lord, look at the clouds and just receive His message, the great air that blows ....that time is soooooo peaceful and quiet and I even don't like it when the sun starts to come up
Thank you, for confronting me that I really need to do this daily, week by week, month by month and for the rest of my life. Thank you God bless and continue to speak to you.
i know this is a late comment but I wanted to say this: 1. you are such an amazing woman. i have only watched two of your videos today and they are amazing! I'm supposed to be getting ready for class in about 14 minutes but I feel like this was so important for me to sit down, and listen. 2. with my friends, they all know I am Christian. My entire family is. But for some reason still find myself hiding my religion in some way. I said it on my TH-cam channel, so my subscribers know. My teachers kinda know, but I only know that one of them is most likely a Christian like me. 3. i feel like I try so hard to be productive in the morning, but I feel like I need to sit down, grab something to drink, and pray right after I wake up. I wake up at 7 am and school (online school) starts at about 9:30. I want to try waking up earlier but I don't want to wake anybody up. maybe I can start at 6:15-6:30 and see how that works. I just bought a new journal a couple days ago and wasn't sure what to do with it. now I want to use it as my Bible journal. 4. ur voice is so calming 😊 5. That's all I have to say since class starts in nearly 5 minutes. I hope to continue watching your channel. Thank you
I also have been struggling with this instead of giving God my everything when I wake up, I have been giving him scraps at the end of the day... this has given me motivation because before anything God comes first thank you sister , May God bless you 🙏❤️ & you’re in my city!
Great encouragement. Funny how I came across this video. I just started my intentional 5am wake yesterday in 10 years since high school. Now on day 2! Pray for me. Thanks brothers and sisters!
they say they once you’re awake to get up because when you keep snoozing, you become more tired. it’s hard to explain but there’s a reason for it. that just means that’s the best time for you to get up right away
Its because every time you snooze u wake up and break your sleep. And when you go back to sleep you are starting a new sleep cycle. Which will never be completed or fulfilled which makes you feel « tired » even when you are well rested! So yea that’s why snoozing is unhealthy....hopefully this bring you guys some more understanding! God bless u all ❤️
Hi dear. I also desire that. I have read in the Bible in Sirach 4:12 "Whoever loves her loves life. Those who rise early in the morning in search of her will be filled with joy.❤❤❤ I love you sister. Keep inspiring nations.😘
Wow, totally been having the driest season of my life and it makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong. I find it so hard to pray and read the word. I do it, but it doesn’t feel right because of the season I’m in. Keep on carrying your cross!! Thank you for this video.
❤️Thank you! God really called me out on this one, Jesus radiates through His Instruments, but to be honest I first thought this channel would be pretty lukewarm and shallow but I’m glad to stand corrected, your fruit brings fellowship to young people, as it is written to be of the same mind in Christ Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let us be disciples and make disciples, I would love to see you guys making a video on spreading the gospel too
This was definitely Holy Spirit led and I am truly truly blessed by this and I am sooo excited to get my deep relationship with the Lord on fire but now every morning! Cuz I always struggle doing it every morning hahah praise the Lord for this inspirational video and a video that really pushes me closer to run the race and reach to the finish line!
This has been my biggest struggle. I have never been a morning person and now that I have 3 kids 6 and under its been so hard. I know I need to figure something out.
Same. I have 2 kids. And though I am still working through being consistent I ended up with this arrangement. My kids get up at about 7am. My hubby works from home but doesn’t start work until 8:30. So 7am-8am is “mommy’s time” I get to spend alone in my room with the Lord, to sleep more, to pray. Whatever I want. Hubby makes breakfast at 7 so it’s ready for the kids. He helps them potty, brush teeth, and eat. Then at 8am I pick up where he left off and get the kids dressed, hair brushed and done, get myself dressed before driving them to school. Hope some version of this helps for you! God bless!
I wake up sometimes 4.30 AM, but most of time 5.30 or 6. First thing that I try to do is to great God, refresh myself and read a bit Bible. Then just after that with coffee I will check social media, will play gospel or christian inspirational video. I noticed that my mindset and my heart changed for the better because I started to pursue Jesus and his image. If I am angry or overwhelmed what Jesus did? What he do? It is so freeing but at the same time I struggle with what drived so much. I was ashamed to hear that some people finds time for everything except 5 minute for God and I don't want to be that person. Be blessed
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love how that treasure goes out to the world. Since a bit more than one year I wake up at 5am and I love it. I love to hava a beatuiful coffee and light some candels😍 I started doing this after a preach where I learned that I can (almost) always chose my pain. Either I chose the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Blessigns
You are God sent! I was struggling w/ intentionally spending time w/ God & reading his word. I set up a notification for time w/ God @0545am earlier this wk, but haven’t been really following through completely. It’s interesting how I just your video just now on my recommendation. God really sees our struggles and want to help us, even though our struggling is coming to him. The enemy tries & wants to keep us away from God. But God will make a way!
This is GOLD! I’ve been doing this since March and it absolutely changed my relationship with God. I feel so much closer to Him and I’m getting to know Him in a different way every day. Waking up earlier every morning is totally worth it. And I’m glad that you’ve experienced the same and get to share it with looots of people who watch your videos. Keep it up! The Lord is using you ❤️
Spending time with the lord is how you know and you feel Jesus is alive. You feel his presence. He’s the way the truth and the life. Be more like him and less like you. Amen 🙏🏼
suddenly came across your channel and it was juz super timely! I've been struggling with devotions recently and praise God that he spoke to me through you :))))))))
I also woke up 5 in the morning to read His word/quiet time and meditating it. It is really hard though but in God's grace I make it. Because of it I became productive. I just found your youtube channel. God bless you.
Megan what an awesome way God is using you sister!! This video clip had such an impact in my life. I can just say that the holy Spirit guided you in almost everything you hear. Praise his holy name. Right on. Keep it up girl. You and your sister.
I also need A LOT of help with seeking God with my whole heart and delighting in his word and spending time with him. Actually something happened over the week that showed I’m really not delighting in it. So my cousins and my aunt came over and spent the night for a couple of days and they usually wake up around seven o’clock I’m the morning and one of my younger cousins was being kind of loud so it woke me up and when I woke up I felt so happy, I was like yea I’m up and were about to have a good day with my family, but then I remembered that I had to read my Bible and pray before I officially start my day and I instantly through, UHHH I don’t want to get right no anymore. I didn’t even realize that I don’t genuinely delight in the Word of the Lord so please pray for me.
I read the passage where Jesus woke up at 4am to pray to the Father and I remember a conversation I had with my friends when they said they were sure this was the most joyous part of Jesus's day. I want to do this too- wake up early and seek God and like you said truly delight in His word.
I've never been a morning person as it is but i wanted to try to seek the Lord in the morning than in night. But i cant get myself up during morning. I think i need to be more intentional, more intentional than i am now.
Wow!! So glad I found your channel, definitely subscribed. There are not a lot of genuine Christians on TH-cam that I have found so far but you are genuine and very encouraging to me. Thank you and God bless you.
Amen amen sister! This was honestly a wonderful video that God really spoke out to me to get back into the word because I was in love with spending lovey time with him in the word but towards the end of the Holy Week I really felt the enemy testing me and I’m currently having a very bad spiritual battle going on in my life and this video is exactly what I am needing to get back with the lord in his word! God bless you!
Oh my gosh!! omg omg! This is exactly what I said i'd start doing because God has been convicting me daily that im not setting aside enough time for him. And I can feel the depletion too. I watch all your vids so idk how I missed this one but Wow Thankyou for doing the Lords work, I felt so singled out lol I needed this!!
Thanks so much, it's a timely encouragement and challenge. I definitely slack in my morning quiet time (though I long for God's presence). I am just not a morning time of person but I guess one can work through that. Blessings!
I feel convicted when you said sometimes you're just giving scraps of your day, time and emotion to God. I feel that. I'm really struggling going back to doing my devotional because of how busy my academic life is. And I felt that like I don't have joy in reading anymore, struggling understanding. Thank you, I feel like God spoke through you to me. Being intentional with the Bible.
This is my first time watching your videos (somehow, out of the blue, this video popped into my recommendations). To be honest, I have been having troubles keeping the faith and serving God lately. Classes are almost everyday and the burn out from that makes me seek selfish habits more than comfort from God. I will strive to keep up with this challenge and hopefully, I hope to I learn to give Him the time that He deserves from me. Thank you. God bless you!
Was listening to the part when you said about reading Gods word quickly I used to do that. Then later on, I realized that I needed to give my time to him and when I did that I could hear his voice.
I always take my devotion every night which makes me realize that i always put the word of God being the least of my priorities. And without knowing that it is not effective anymore. Thank you for this! I pray that i could start my time spending with God first. Godbless your hearts desire!
my heart has been so dry lately and I feel like I’ve been in a season where I’m dragging myself through my quiet time. thank you for this!!
Same girl same 😶😶🤍
Me too
Me three.
Omgosh same 🥺

It is really important to set aside lots of time in the morning to read the word and also throughout the day. This is amazing🙌🏾✝️All glory to God
it's my sign to wake up at 5 am and start building my relationship with the Lord by reading his word and removing idols. God bless you!
I love seeing other young women falling into obedience with where the Lord is taking them!! Praise God!
Thank you for your encouragement. May God bless your quiet times with revelation, understanding and peace.
Im bothered by insomnia, but try to put the time awake to good use which will not annoy my neighbours...studying the Word is perfect at any time but, actually making time for Jesus and not just slotting Him in when you've a bit free time is really beneficial, just like in any relationship.
One aid to study I cannot live without now is reading aloud. I find this helps with my concentration and allows the words to sink into your brain through your ears.
This is a amazing!!! At times I feel so busy work, family, my family, my business…etc… lately I been hearing Gods voice telling me to wake up at 5am and meet with him. I want to share this Journey on my ch as well. God is so Good 😊 🙌🏽
In school I love to wake up at 5am , sit on my balcony, spend time with the Lord, look at the clouds and just receive His message, the great air that blows ....that time is soooooo peaceful and quiet and I even don't like it when the sun starts to come up
Thank you, for confronting me that I really need to do this daily, week by week, month by month and for the rest of my life. Thank you God bless and continue to speak to you.
That’s a blessing in my life having you guys on TH-cam! Thank for letting God work through your lives ! Love you all and never never stop 💕
i know this is a late comment but I wanted to say this:
1. you are such an amazing woman. i have only watched two of your videos today and they are amazing! I'm supposed to be getting ready for class in about 14 minutes but I feel like this was so important for me to sit down, and listen.
2. with my friends, they all know I am Christian. My entire family is. But for some reason still find myself hiding my religion in some way. I said it on my TH-cam channel, so my subscribers know. My teachers kinda know, but I only know that one of them is most likely a Christian like me.
3. i feel like I try so hard to be productive in the morning, but I feel like I need to sit down, grab something to drink, and pray right after I wake up. I wake up at 7 am and school (online school) starts at about 9:30. I want to try waking up earlier but I don't want to wake anybody up. maybe I can start at 6:15-6:30 and see how that works. I just bought a new journal a couple days ago and wasn't sure what to do with it. now I want to use it as my Bible journal.
4. ur voice is so calming 😊
5. That's all I have to say since class starts in nearly 5 minutes. I hope to continue watching your channel. Thank you
I also have been struggling with this instead of giving God my everything when I wake up, I have been giving him scraps at the end of the day... this has given me motivation because before anything God comes first thank you sister , May God bless you 🙏❤️ & you’re in my city!
Great encouragement. Funny how I came across this video. I just started my intentional 5am wake yesterday in 10 years since high school. Now on day 2! Pray for me. Thanks brothers and sisters!
Read intentionally for retention👌 very good point Sys👍 God bless you
I've felt called to get up early to spend time with God as well. I've been trying, but I often fail. Please pray for me y'all
The scraps of emotion. Girl you better preach!
they say they once you’re awake to get up because when you keep snoozing, you become more tired. it’s hard to explain but there’s a reason for it. that just means that’s the best time for you to get up right away
Its because every time you snooze u wake up and break your sleep. And when you go back to sleep you are starting a new sleep cycle. Which will never be completed or fulfilled which makes you feel « tired » even when you are well rested! So yea that’s why snoozing is unhealthy....hopefully this bring you guys some more understanding! God bless u all ❤️
I love waking up at 5/6am. I feel so much more closer to God and more accomplished.
That speed limit analogy convicted me. True
Hi dear. I also desire that. I have read in the Bible in Sirach 4:12
"Whoever loves her loves life.
Those who rise early in the morning in search of her will be filled with joy.❤❤❤ I love you sister. Keep inspiring nations.😘
Wow, totally been having the driest season of my life and it makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong. I find it so hard to pray and read the word. I do it, but it doesn’t feel right because of the season I’m in. Keep on carrying your cross!! Thank you for this video.
May God Bless You! Thank you for being such a wonderful light in the world. ✝️🤍
❤️Thank you! God really called me out on this one, Jesus radiates through His Instruments, but to be honest I first thought this channel would be pretty lukewarm and shallow but I’m glad to stand corrected, your fruit brings fellowship to young people, as it is written to be of the same mind in Christ
Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let us be disciples and make disciples, I would love to see you guys making a video on spreading the gospel too
This was definitely Holy Spirit led and I am truly truly blessed by this and I am sooo excited to get my deep relationship with the Lord on fire but now every morning! Cuz I always struggle doing it every morning hahah praise the Lord for this inspirational video and a video that really pushes me closer to run the race and reach to the finish line!
This is so good!!! God bless you and your heart for God. Holy Spirit help us to love God and seek and delight in His word! Yes and Amen🥺🙌🏽💗
This has been my biggest struggle. I have never been a morning person and now that I have 3 kids 6 and under its been so hard. I know I need to figure something out.
Any time with God is better than none! You don’t have to get up early to please Him! He sees your heart ❤️
Same. I have 2 kids. And though I am still working through being consistent I ended up with this arrangement. My kids get up at about 7am. My hubby works from home but doesn’t start work until 8:30. So 7am-8am is “mommy’s time” I get to spend alone in my room with the Lord, to sleep more, to pray. Whatever I want. Hubby makes breakfast at 7 so it’s ready for the kids. He helps them potty, brush teeth, and eat. Then at 8am I pick up where he left off and get the kids dressed, hair brushed and done, get myself dressed before driving them to school. Hope some version of this helps for you! God bless!
I wake up sometimes 4.30 AM, but most of time 5.30 or 6. First thing that I try to do is to great God, refresh myself and read a bit Bible. Then just after that with coffee I will check social media, will play gospel or christian inspirational video.
I noticed that my mindset and my heart changed for the better because I started to pursue Jesus and his image. If I am angry or overwhelmed what Jesus did? What he do? It is so freeing but at the same time I struggle with what drived so much.
I was ashamed to hear that some people finds time for everything except 5 minute for God and I don't want to be that person.
Be blessed
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love how that treasure goes out to the world. Since a bit more than one year I wake up at 5am and I love it. I love to hava a beatuiful coffee and light some candels😍
I started doing this after a preach where I learned that I can (almost) always chose my pain. Either I chose the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
Blessigns
You are God sent! I was struggling w/ intentionally spending time w/ God & reading his word. I set up a notification for time w/ God @0545am earlier this wk, but haven’t been really following through completely. It’s interesting how I just your video just now on my recommendation. God really sees our struggles and want to help us, even though our struggling is coming to him. The enemy tries & wants to keep us away from God. But God will make a way!
This is GOLD! I’ve been doing this since March and it absolutely changed my relationship with God. I feel so much closer to Him and I’m getting to know Him in a different way every day. Waking up earlier every morning is totally worth it. And I’m glad that you’ve experienced the same and get to share it with looots of people who watch your videos. Keep it up! The Lord is using you ❤️
Spending time with the lord is how you know and you feel Jesus is alive. You feel his presence. He’s the way the truth and the life. Be more like him and less like you. Amen 🙏🏼
suddenly came across your channel and it was juz super timely! I've been struggling with devotions recently and praise God that he spoke to me through you :))))))))
I love you so much you have inspired me so much I watch you everyday your amazing and beautiful thank you God bless you
I also woke up 5 in the morning to read His word/quiet time and meditating it. It is really hard though but in God's grace I make it. Because of it I became productive. I just found your youtube channel. God bless you.
Praise God for giving you wisdom and sharing what you have learned, May Godalways use you for his Kingdom ❤️❤️
That's right, keep on believing with God because he's right there to help and guide you along the way. 😇
Megan what an awesome way God is using you sister!! This video clip had such an impact in my life. I can just say that the holy Spirit guided you in almost everything you hear. Praise his holy name. Right on. Keep it up girl. You and your sister.
I also need A LOT of help with seeking God with my whole heart and delighting in his word and spending time with him. Actually something happened over the week that showed I’m really not delighting in it. So my cousins and my aunt came over and spent the night for a couple of days and they usually wake up around seven o’clock I’m the morning and one of my younger cousins was being kind of loud so it woke me up and when I woke up I felt so happy, I was like yea I’m up and were about to have a good day with my family, but then I remembered that I had to read my Bible and pray before I officially start my day and I instantly through, UHHH I don’t want to get right no anymore. I didn’t even realize that I don’t genuinely delight in the Word of the Lord so please pray for me.
Praying for you!
Im still learning to forgive myself it’s difficult sometimes but Ik that i am a Gods child and I am loved by him we all are💖❤️
I read the passage where Jesus woke up at 4am to pray to the Father and I remember a conversation I had with my friends when they said they were sure this was the most joyous part of Jesus's day. I want to do this too- wake up early and seek God and like you said truly delight in His word.
I've never been a morning person as it is but i wanted to try to seek the Lord in the morning than in night. But i cant get myself up during morning. I think i need to be more intentional, more intentional than i am now.
Wow beautifully said
Wow!! So glad I found your channel, definitely subscribed. There are not a lot of genuine Christians on TH-cam that I have found so far but you are genuine and very encouraging to me. Thank you and God bless you.
Amen amen sister! This was honestly a wonderful video that God really spoke out to me to get back into the word because I was in love with spending lovey time with him in the word but towards the end of the Holy Week I really felt the enemy testing me and I’m currently having a very bad spiritual battle going on in my life and this video is exactly what I am needing to get back with the lord in his word! God bless you!
Hi! Im also studying the book of Romans!😘and im loving it, though it takes 1-2 days for me to finish 1 chapter😘🧡
Amen and thank you
Oh my gosh!! omg omg! This is exactly what I said i'd start doing because God has been convicting me daily that im not setting aside enough time for him. And I can feel the depletion too. I watch all your vids so idk how I missed this one but Wow Thankyou for doing the Lords work, I felt so singled out lol I needed this!!
This was SO timely 🥺. Thank you, God bless you friend!
This video " accidentally" popped up in suggestions..and here I am, once again. The Lord leading my way. Such a blessing you have been
Thank you!!! I have been struggling with getting up and not doing my bible time right away. Thanks big sis.
Thanks so much, it's a timely encouragement and challenge. I definitely slack in my morning quiet time (though I long for God's presence). I am just not a morning time of person but I guess one can work through that.
Blessings!
Great video. I have learned I need to 'delight myself in God's word'.
needed this today! Thank you. i love how you are so genuine and don't pretend to have it all together.
Thanks for share your heart with us! It Is wonderful how God use you to motivate me to seek Him more🥺✨
God bless you!
Thank you for this video! Opened up my eyes a lot. Thank you for the beautiful views outside throughout the video 😊
Thank you so much and thanks to God for opening my eyes.I to make so much changes in my life.❤❤
I feel convicted when you said sometimes you're just giving scraps of your day, time and emotion to God. I feel that. I'm really struggling going back to doing my devotional because of how busy my academic life is. And I felt that like I don't have joy in reading anymore, struggling understanding. Thank you, I feel like God spoke through you to me. Being intentional with the Bible.
I’m going to start this challenge tomorrow! ❤️❤️❤️ I need to be more intentional with God
Fire 🔥 Thanks for speaking from your heart and what the Holy Spirit puts on it.
The first CBT-video that I saw, was of Ashley doing this. You girls are such an inspiration.
th-cam.com/video/3xPpuQIsUo4/w-d-xo.html
I wanna try this :) I’ve seen so many people do this! God bless you🙏💕
Just found your channel! Love what you do thank you! Christ bless you
Thank you Taylor! God bless you!
Loved this video so much!!!! Sending love and blessings. Xxx
This is my first time watching your videos (somehow, out of the blue, this video popped into my recommendations). To be honest, I have been having troubles keeping the faith and serving God lately. Classes are almost everyday and the burn out from that makes me seek selfish habits more than comfort from God. I will strive to keep up with this challenge and hopefully, I hope to I learn to give Him the time that He deserves from me. Thank you. God bless you!
Was listening to the part when you said about reading Gods word quickly I used to do that. Then later on, I realized that I needed to give my time to him and when I did that I could hear his voice.
God bless you both! Your videos always inspire me to get into the Word, and seek God more.😍🤗
This video was all God! He knew I needed this!
I always take my devotion every night which makes me realize that i always put the word of God being the least of my priorities. And without knowing that it is not effective anymore. Thank you for this! I pray that i could start my time spending with God first. Godbless your hearts desire!
