hey, sis. let's chat! today's question: where in your life is God asking you to try again? for me: girllll! i don't know where to begin 😅😂 there are a lots of places but i think the biggest one in this season is in realm of church community/ friendship. i had a less than great experience in a previous small group when I first moved to Atlanta and it's made me hesitant to "try again" in that area -- putting myself out there, expecting GENUINENESS from others, etc. & in His kindness, He led me to join a small group at our new church last month and it's been SOOO beautiful so far. Definitely learning how to take my time getting to know people and ask Him for discernment and truly lean on Him as I do this again.
Maybe, my love life. I have a tendency to give things to God, then take it right back; because I don’t see the changes when I give it God. Maybe he is telling me to put him first then the rest will follow.
I didn’t know you were in atl! We moved there 3 years ago as well. It definitely has been hard getting to know people/feeling a sense of belongingness.
In my business! I ran a presson nail business for 3yrs and made recorded 1 sale in Dec 2023, I realized I never asked him if that’s what he wanted for me, now he’s asking me to venture into something else but to trust him fully with it
For me, maybe trusting him with my life. Specifically love and career. I don't trust, mainly bc when I was doing what I thought was his will, those things didn't work out or have not yet come to pass so I began to question "maybe it wasn't God I heard", so I stopped dating, was unsure about my decisions, over thinking everything and fearful when making any type of decision. I was job hopping, but nothing felt like home. So now I am prayerful, still dealing with fear and trust, but making myself available to hear him and do what he says.
Loved this video, Ms. Melody! I’m a 20 year old virgin who’s never kissed or did drugs or had sex or messed with anything secular. However I have faced lots of bullying and isolation from my Hebrew Israelite family members. I almost went down that route until I accepted Jesus as my savior in 2023. I no longer speak to my family and I moved out for college, but lately it’s been getting lonely. I wanna try again with God. Please pray for me, my name is Key 🤍🤍🤍
I’m so proud of you! I know you’ve gone through difficult times. I have too, and this path can be quite lonely but it is so worth it. You’ll be rewarded in Heaven! I’ve felt alone in a lot of periods of my life. I learned that I was never alone, God was with me the whole time! Just remember that ❤ Jesus will come to you whenever you ask. Best wishes in this life ❤
Keep the right path dear .You don't even realise how you are blessed and will be more blessed. Even with hard days you will be blessed becouse your life is being built on firm foundation.Christ and his word
I was moments away from ending my life. Living in chronic pain depression and anxiety. Just before I acted the Lord came to me and said these exact words ‘Would you just try it My Way?’ Then he healed me from it all. I no longer take medication, I don’t feel anxious depressed or in pain. I’ve given my life over to the Lord. I really did die that day. I am born again thanks to His grace.
@@studioofstyles6585trust Him, He is faithful. Lord, as she submits to You and believes in your healing, wonder-working power to deliver her from the influence of the enemy, remind her that she is your child, Your sheep and You, her Shepherd, and that no one can snatch her out of your hand , as Your word declares in John 10:28. You came that we may have life & have it abundantly (John 10:10). So right now I declare that she shall live - truly live and not die, and I bind every force, tactic, strategy, and plan the enemy is trying to use as a weapon against her life and the calling you’ve placed on it. In Your mighty name Jesus, So be it !!
God is telling me to try again with church. I have been distance lately and realized I can’t do this world alone. I need a community. So glad to get back in and be apart of the church.
That was me in July. I have never had a community and now I joined a church I love and have a community that is there for me always. I am glad i physically started going to church. I realized the more i lean on my understand the more the world shows me flames
I got baptized on Sunday 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Glory to God. This was my second time getting baptized! The reason is that I was 5 when I first got baptized and I didn’t know what I was committing to. I fell far away from God for most of my adult life. I was so completely lost without him, but now I’m so completely found. God is telling me to try my LIFE over again, but this time with HIM. For the first time I feel like I can look forward to the future and it will be abundant because of God! Thank you Jesus
God is telling me to try again in my academics:I am a very bright and inclined student but recently I went through a lot of challenges which affected my results and passion for school. God is telling me to try again and this time with him Please pray over the anxiety I feel when tests approach, the distractions that want to come my way and to lean on Him and not my own understanding❤️
I finally quit smoking and stuck it out with God. I'm so shocked after praying to take the urge from me and it's working. Praise God and what he is doing in my life.
@@finashone7732 Im tearing up! Thank you for your prayers and for witnessing me ❤️ I will write down that prayer and recite it when I get the urges. Holy hobbies is so beautiful!! 🙏 God bless you!!!
I gave a testimony two Sundays ago about letting God take the lead in my life. I had a situation 3 months ago that left me in disappointment! My husband and family did their best to be my cheerleader and gave me the pep talk! As the months went by, God was talking to me, and I had decided to stop feeling sorry for myself. I tell you all, God is GOOD! Three months later, God showed me why He said no. I'm so grateful I didn't press on to get my way and instead left it in His hands. When God told Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you," what makes us think He doesn't know us too and will direct our paths if we let Him! Stay strong in the Lord and listen to the Holy Spirit when He speaks❤
This video came at an amazing time. I took a year off from school after my dad’s death and I drew closer to God during the last year so much so that I prioritize Bible study. I started back school and I am trying it this time with God as my 1st priority and everything else will fall in place. 😊
Hi!! That’s so awesome and a great time to start prioritizing God is in school. 🤗I pray that God will surround you with Godly friends who are also running the race with God that you can worship, pray, laugh and cry together with 💕 But most of all I pray that He surrounds you with people who point you to Jesus and who you can point to Jesus’ love as well
I've been in a season that took two years. God has been working on many things within my soul and it's been a painful process. I sought intimacy with Him, and He met me over and over. In the end my biggest breakthrough was RECEIVING His love and RECEIVING Him as my husband (because I am a widow). Believe me, I tried to get through my own way, but when you're really leaning into Him, He will get you to a place where you accept His way. On the other side, I am more satisfied, content and peaceful. Recently, God called me to walk into church and give my testimony. No notes, just Holy Spirit led. My knees were knocking, but I spoke. Later, God made it clear that He had me testify before my spiritual family to confirm to my self that the season is over. Keep going if you are struggling! Go back to Him in prayer over and over because He is faithful and will finish what He started. Everything Melody advised is right on. You will make it through!
I’ve been looking for a job for the past 9 months now, living on my own and trying to make it work. I dove headfirst into my faith the first 3 months and it was the most peaceful (and difficult) time of my life. After March though, I think I just got burnt out and hurt that I hadn’t seen any of the outcomes I’d expected and prayed for. The disappointment was just a bit too much for me to handle at the time. I think He’s now asking me to try again with trusting Him in my job search and career move. That He’ll take care of me, my family and the people I care about. That we’ll all be okay and that all I have to do is TRY to trust Him and worry only about the next step He’s asking me to take. Even though I can’t help but see all the ways that it can go wrong, all it takes is His hand I think for it all to change and go right again (maybe not in the same way, but in a new way). Hope you are all well. Stay strong ♥️
1. Obedience to try again doesn’t only effect him. 2. Bring all of your fears to the Lord and let him give you his perspective 3. Your unique life experiences were integral to you being the person for the calling that God has put on your life 4. Don’t forget what God has done in the past Thank you for this video!
I’ve been In Alaska for The past 12 years (on and off).God spoke to my heart recently , revealing that my time in Alaska is done. He is now directing me back to the East Coast, forcing me to lean on him completely. I’m leaving all my stability behind and headed back to my uncertain beginnings of NYC. I asked God for confirmation to help ease my fears. This video was the FIRST video to appear on my feed. I cried because I know god used you to speak to me. So I want to thank you for your obedience to God. - Keirri Usara🌷
God is asking me to try again in my health 💚 To abstain from sugar, but this time not in my own strength, but out of Love and Obedience to Him. Help me, Jesus, I can't do this on my own 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@BestYearEver2024 I can so relate to that. God's desire is for us to obey Him out of love for Him. I pray God grants grace for us to live in obedience to Him out of love for Him. To take proper care of our bodies, His temple. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
I believe for me it’s Trust. I’ve been doing things in my own way but NOTHING has been working out: searching for a job, helping family members with different things, surmounting bills, etc. It’s been a very tiring and weary season and I cry daily. Today, I surrendered everything because I’m out of fuel. I’m trying to be intentional about trusting God when my feelings and everything around me tells me that nothing is working.
I want to try again with God in building my life from my home, to my friendships, and career with Jesus at the center. Even though I grew up Christian, I've been prone to wander and came back to Christ officially last year. Since then, he's been shaking up everything I thought I had; showing me who and what was my god before Him. I'm fully surrendering it all to Him now, so that my life can bring Him the glory.
Thank you so much for this video! I am 24, very introverted, I don't date, I tend to isolate myself too much, and I struggle a lot with social anxiety constantly doubting everything about myself and everyone around me. Your videos have helped me grow in faith so much; however, the more I grow, the more flaws I find in myself that I struggle to deal with mentally, emotionally, and physically. I find myself backsliding more and more and the things in my life that were once stable are now shaking and breaking down around me. My family and I have suffered so much loss for so many years, and we are currently facing eviction with nowhere to go. I just really need God to tell me directly what it is I am here for or where I fit in this life. I don't want to go through this anymore or feel like I am just wasting His time. Please just pray for me. Thank you.
Keep always God first and rely on Him, ask Him for guidance and move trusting in Him and seeking Him first, God is always with you. His timing is perfect, He has a purpuse for you, ask for His guidance and strenght, through Him you can do it. Jesus loves you!! 💕💕
God is telling me to try again with walking in my calling and also with starting my TH-cam channel and sharing the knowledge and wisdom He so freely gives to me. The gifts that He instills in us are not only for ourselves but to help those who are in need of Jesus's touch. We help the body of Christ and we help lead those who don't yet know Him, to Him. Thank you, Melody. You are filled with the Holy Spirit and God has used you to lead leaders. God bless you. ❤
Yesss, We need more Christians in this space sis! excited to see what God has in store for you and those you are to impact with your yes to Him to try again 🙌🏾
God is telling me to try again with my health I have lupus and kidney disease and I’ve been trying to deal with this sickness alone , but I realized I need him more then ever to guide me💜
Lord jesus Heal her from her sickness and guide her and lead her lord Jesus Rap your healing hands around her and heal her in the name of Jesus Give her the strongest faith ever fill her with Your love peace and Joy and help her to grow stronger with you I pray you guide her and lead her and heal her IN JESUS NAME AMEN💕✝️
This is such perfect timing, i literally just was about to accept that i could not walk in obedience to God in the area of what I eat. I know my body does not like it when I eat sugary snacks and i had declared that I would stay away from refined sugar. But, my husband bought a whole carton of cookies yestefday and I have eaten more than is good for me. So, as I wrestled with myself a short while ago i asked for God to help me. My flesh was leading me to eat and I asked God for grace to resist. I had done well in the past, but this time i was about to give up. This message is right in time and I certainly will try again but this time I will do so with God. Thanks Melody.
Wow. This morning I was working through your Ezra workbook, and today was chapter 6, reflecting on times when the lord has gone beyond hopes and expectations. I'm currently unemployed, and I've been unwell the past few days, so my heart posture was not great at that moment - I had to be real with the most high and say, I'm sure there's been loads of blessings but I can only see the failures, help me to position my heart better. I followed up my reading with this video and I felt so seen and understood. It was exactly where I'm at. "Hesitant to trust God in the current because we miss the ways in which he showed up for us in the past." All praises, and thank you xxx
Trying again with GOD - in health (eating right and getting off sugar and processed foods), in wealth (budgeting and saving for land ownership. Working on being a good steward in ALL areas). In full obedience (working on writing and ministry focus).
Will be re-watching this video to get it ingrained in my head! I have struggled to get in my field since graduating 2 years ago and currently not doing so well financially. I am desperately looking to get another job, but I am worried that I might pick up a job just to survive and lose focus on what God is able to do for my life. I need to find my new career with God's help 🙏
God is telling me to try again with deciding my future study plans for university. I’ve experienced a lot of failure like never before in my life academically and started to doubt the plans God has for me. Thankfully however, God has lovingly convicted me of many things through this season and telling me to try again but this time with Him. Thank you Jesus. I believe in the promise you placed in my heart and I will try again with you this time❤
This video was 100% for me. I was praying and asking God to help me on my weight loss journey but I was feeling so defeated. I’ve started and stopped more times than I can count but my desire for health & wellness is so strong within me. In my prayer I heard God say something and I asked Him for confirmation so I would know it’s His plan for me as I try again. He led me to this video this morning and the title & the scriptures confirmed it. I’m trying again to get healthy for the Lord so I can continue doing the work He’s called me to do🙏🏾❤️
I’m on a 40 day Fast and as I am typing this I am half way through it’s my 20th day and it’s been the most memorable time of my life thus far, where I can differentiate between knowing God’s voice and I am at the point where God is repeating to me over and over about being OBEDIENT cause the fear of the Lord is so real… and I fear the fear of the Lord just yesterday and it’s a feeling I don’t want to ever feel again in my life again. So I will be obedient to God for the rest of my life. 1 Samuel 15:22 Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice. And God knows why he told us that….the fear of the Lord is real and you should fear him only it makes all your alignment in this life get aligned. Serve God in fullness and truth, be holy and righteous…
Hi Melody! I’m in college and I almost dropped a psychology class that I kept feeling led to stay in. I haven’t had the best experiences with the subject and there always seemed to be something pulling me away from it or causing me to not like it. But I feel like God is calling me to stay in the class and today, I prayed for God to show me that He wanted me to stay and this video was confirmation. Thank you!
I think everywhere and every day that I haven’t fully matured spiritually is where He is wanting to me to try again with Him first and none of me. Every day that He blesses me with is another chance to try again. 🙌🏽
Hey I’m struggling living in London UK, jobless right now. Living off of 2 pounds in my bank account at the moment. Really appreciate this video so much. I’ve been applying for marketing and design jobs for a few months and nothing is happening (I have a bachelors degree and 6 years work experience). I’ve applied to 248 at the moment with cover letters. I moved to London because I’ve felt God has called me here and I don’t want to leave yet as I just got here and I know he has a purpose for me here. Just praying for a miracle at this point.
I am in a similar boat only in the U.S. Its been so tiring but I’m still praying, seeking, knocking and asking God for strength. Those doors will open for us soon
Hey, I'm literally in the same boat as you hun! Also, in London as well! I'm trying to keep on showing up, trusting Him and drawing close to Him. There's nothing more I can do by worrying BUT I can hold on to His promise and keep on with applications. Surely as He has promised He will fulfil it and it'll happen when you least expect it, at His appointed time. 💓💓Much love to you girlie!
I live in London and it can be tough but God will provide and he will do so on His own time and His time is the best 🙏🏾 I remembered times being so broke and thinking what I could eat or where I could sleep the next day.. yes it was really bad and God came through all the time and he gave me the strength to go through it and I found a job in the end….. Please Continue to pray and trust his plan. Make sure you include God and seek Him in your everyday life while you’re waiting for the right TIME! I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Thank you so much, I cried in the office bathroom today because I honestly was getting scared anxious and tired that the process I'm on won't work out but then I came across your video ❤️
I was Baptized on June 30th 2024. I got tired of doing things in my own power and my own will and not fully trusting God. I needed to fully surrender my life. I was baptized when I was younger, but this time it had a different meaning. I truly want what God wants for me. 5 years ago I went through a really traumatic divorce/child custody battle that left me in a very depressed season of my life. It was only God who helped me through it. I still struggle with it because I have a child who is involved and I only want the best for him it’s difficult dealing with my ex but i push through with lots of prayer. I want to get married again but this time not idolizing it and making it my golden calf which is did in my previous situation. I want only what God has for me and I will wait on him.
This is the second message I’ve gotten about trying again. Im trying to understand what he wants me to retain. I just finished a 3 day fast and throughout this fast I have been praying for provisions, understanding, healing, forgiveness & wisdom to move (my lease is up lol) and God has provided those things. But I have been getting these dreams, specifically this one that was an invoice for moving supplies that said it would be delivered 1 day & 6 hours from the time of the dream. Praying uses this episode to bring me more clarity & understanding.
In my life God is calling me to try again with my health and letting him speak to me through the process required to bring me solution and understanding of my body and self on a deeper level. It's been a struggling and stressful process and at times I've wanted to give up, throw in the towel and just put up with it but I just keep being reminded to take my time, see it through, trust the process and that it won't be this way forever as long as I stay the course, I will receive all the answers & knowledge to get through this and even to help someone else!
Pursuing my studies with God this time. I have been tired, but recently God made me realize that I have been doing things in my own strength. That of course, runs out.
It's the way this video has been showing up on my feed asking to be watched. God WILL speak. Everything was just so timely but in particular I thank you for reminding us to look back on a season where it feels like God didn't answer and see what He might have done instead. A couple of years ago I got the yes to go do an unpaid internship in Spain but it fell through. What ended up happening is that I got a paid internship in Zimbabwe (my home country) and got the chance to learn a lot of skills (and a source of income) I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. In any case I feel like God is still calling to me Spain it's just that back then wasn't the time, and I would not have known what I now know. In all things, He's an on time God. So I'm looking forward to just taking His hand and letting Him lead. I struggle with doubt but leaving it to Him is so freeing. I pray for encouragement and strength to all your viewers, may God lead, may He show us the way in which we should go, and ultimately would He get the praise, honor, and Glory from our testimonies. Amen.
God is asking me to try again with Him when it comes to stewarding every single thing He has blessed me with on this earth- my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit; my relationships with people; my academics/career path; material possessions etcc..
Thank you for this message! God is leading me to start my home care agency again! I started a few times before I got overwhelmed and frustrated and I stopped. I feel like God is telling me not to give up because no matter how I try to shake the feeling try to put things off he keeps nudging me and telling me to get started again. I work full-time and I don’t want to leave my job yet until I have everything in place. I just keep praying!
The Lord is telling me to try this business again but let Him lead bc man I have no clue what I’m doing. Also to Try to live my life again but with Him before all that I do. I’m 20 and living like I’m 30, He wants me to live anew again as if I am still a child. Thank you for this video, it sent chills in my body and ringing in my right ear ❤
God is asking me to try again on leaning solely on Him to provide and make a way. I am a stay-at-home mom, my husband works, and we have 5 wonderful kids. Two of which are my little brother and sister, who unfortunately no longer have their parents. For the past 4 years I've been in fight or flight mode' always doing what we can to make it through. Not leaning on anyone or asking for handouts. I tried once before, letting God take control and in the flesh, I just could not bear knowing the "what Ifs". The time has come where I've decided whole heartedly to allow God to take control of everything in my life no matter what it may be. Leaning on His understanding and not my own. Seeing His mercy and grace in areas I didn't see them in before, not because they weren't there but because He truly opens your eyes to see things the enemy has tricked us into being oblivious to. I am about 2 months in, and I couldn't even begin to express just how much things have changed. It's literal peace He gives you in the midst of a storm. Granting you with eyes and ears to see and hear what we cannot without Him!
girl i be avoiding your videos so bad and that's how i KNOW God is using you bc i'm not ready to be held accountable in my faith. Anyway God bless you Melody fr
I do that in general with other Christian videos but I know it’s God, and sometimes they’re promoted over and over again and feel that nudge…it’s God! And He’s good all the time ❤
Hi, I just watched the video, which is so timely. Praise the Lord! I wanted to mention that while reading along with the verses in Matthew 11:1-15, I didn't see where John the Baptist fell into discouragement and asked Jesus why he hadn’t gotten him out of jail. John only asked if Jesus was the Messiah or if they should wait for another
😂 I said if she’s says Moses.. I’m going to know God is talking to me. I just finished Exodus and now I’m in Deuteronomy 😅 . They still are rebellious when God is trying to get them to the promise land. I love this video ❤
Doing things God’s way is the best. My goodness, I cannot do things on my own. When we do things with God, it works according to His will. Thank you for sharing 🤗🥁
The Lord is so good and kind. The Lord is telling me to try again in the area of deliverance. He has been calling me to study Exodus for years now that I think about it, I started listening through my audio Bible and could really relate to Moses' character in regards to wanting to deliver justice in my own limited nature. I've been going through so much spiritual warfare, feeling extremely tormented, anxious and weary, I didn't see this perspective in the story of Exodus where God was telling me to try again with him until the Lord brought this video on my suggestions. I have faith and hope that the Lord is going to give me more strength to try again. Praise Jesus! 💕💯🔥
Thank you for this word! Recently, I realized that I had been relying on myself to find the perfect remedy to heal myself from Endometriosis, from diet changes and herbal supplements to surgeries. You name it, I’ve probably done it. I am done with that. Me not leaning fully on God has led to nothing but disappointment. I am now fully relying on God to do what I asked Him to do. I believe this is all He has been waiting for. I am letting God lead. There isn’t a magical tea, pill, or person that can do what God can!
Hi Melody! I usually don't comment, but I just finished watching your video and felt led to chime in the community. For starters, I am so proud to see how far you've come as a content creator! I used to keep up with your channel a while back but then life hit (lol) & I hadn't been keeping up with some of my fav. content creators for a while up until last year. I love that you stay true to the mission of sharing the gospel. There are few areas I could talk about, but the biggest two areas I believe God is leading me to try again is in my career and stepping out as a Christian content creator. It's been a difficult journey, especially on YT. I try to find the balance of working with what I have (e.g. equipment, editing, etc.) while trusting God to do His part in allowing me to reach my audience. I'm not an algorithm girly; I truly trust God to do what He does best! I started in October of last year and took a much needed break this summer & came back with a fresh perspective. I was disappointed because I hadn't reached some of my goals in these areas of my life, but I've let it all go & am trying to "try again". Would you consider doing a video about your journey as a content creator and maybe some tips for those that the Lord is calling into this space? Any advice would be helpful!
God is asking me to try again in my marriage. As it so happens, I am watching this on September 3 and it is my third wedding anniversary with my husband.🎉 god has called me to follow his lead when it comes to marriage. I have watched and been mesmerized by online couples for years and always imagine my marriage would be like that, but I didn’t realize that a lot of people put on a show. I am now leaning into and listening to God and following his lead to become the best wife I can be on my own terms. Our marriage is sacred and it’s not for everyone to see, and I shouldn’t be basing my idea of a relationship on people I don’t even know. Additionally, I, no longer based my relationship off of the relationships I’ve seen in my everyday life.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but this is such a timely message for me and where I am currently. I just want to say thank you for being obedient to Gods word and giving this message to us. ❤
God bless you, Melody. This video is right on time. I recently lost a family member to "self-deletion." I haven't allowed The Lord to heal me; even worse, I've been trying to heal in my own strength. Today, he revealed that I need to take some time away from work and allow Him to fully heal me, so I'm able to care for others.
Hey sis, this video was such a blessing and so timely 🙏🏼 I've been going through a season of waiting for God's deliverance and it has taken a lot for me mentally to keep trusting in God even though things aren't working out the way I've planned. But I think God is wanting me to try and trust him again because he's definitely done it before ❤❤❤
Thank you, I was looking for a video that encouraged me through this journey and I came across yours. I am 34yrs old and was diagnosed with breast cancer in January, Its been tough. Im a believer and I know god has already healed me, but it doesn’t take away from the hard days that I have. I needed a reminder to not give up and keep going with god by my side. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Sister for this beautiful message that spoke so clearly to me. I thank the Lord for you and this message and believe thet He is calling me to finish the book He told me to write nearly 10 years ago. I have been running, and disobedient to what I know He has graced me to do by giving in to the many distractions and cares of this world instead. Thank you again for this encouraging word and I pray that the Lord continues to bless and empower you to help many as you have helped me this day.
At the beginning of this year I tried to get a visa to visit my family in the US (which I haven’t seen in 10 years) and was denied. I was very disappointed obviously but still I felt a peace in my heart bc I had prayed that it only happen if it was in God’s good plans for me. I have faith that next year may be the right time to reapply bc now I have my medical degree and am interested in taking the USMLE (an exam for foreign doctors). I feel like this plan seems like something that will honor my life story as well as bless countless other lives. Pray for me faith fam, if it’s the Lord’s will I’m certain it will happen 🙌🏼
I think I’m called to try leaning on the Lord again. I’m about to move abroad for the first time. The temptation for distraction and being hyper-independent is REAL. I am excited to get plugged into a church body and show people I live for the Lord!
This Video was definitely for me indeed being all the way in the Caribbean and still getting this video on my home page. lately the lord has been calling me to seek him and making him first and i can tell you when i listened and started doing that now my life feel so much better in all aspects of my life.
Thank you..today I picked up something I had laid at the feet of Jesus, trying to help and assist..smh. This was a kind reminder I was on the right path. Just leaving it at his feet, lean into him, and rest in his will.
To Try again at life and the paths set before me but with him and not about the money or the people but it's about God and purpose because I can't shake the things put on my heart to do and how by obeying the Lord I can share his glory, kindness, strength, love and word through the work that I do.
Okay, firstly I need to say that you are so beautiful and precious my dear sister. I immediately saw the love of God upon on you & it made me tear up!!! So proud of you my sister in Christ for sitting at the feet of Jesus, that He may shine through you!! Secondly, I’m not even 2 minutes in, & I started giggling because the Lord immediately started calling me out. Hahaha praise the Lord & His timing & convictions!! Look forward to seeing this video that you & the Lord have made, & what ways He plans to use it to transform my mind, & my brothers & sisters around us! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Friend! ❤️❤️
So powerful. As someone relatively new to the workforce and a former burnt out overachiever (lol), seeing how intentionally you approach each aspect of how you deliver your message, from how carefully you speak to the accompanying downloadable for each video, to reassessing and moving differently when you realize the way things are going isn't sustainable, it's all SO inspiring and it's teaching me a lot about how to move with purpose, on purpose!
It is almost scary how spot-on this video is. God has been speaking to me these last few days regarding "trying again" with him and the project also involves leading His people out of Egypt, metaphorically speaking. I was not looking for this video, I just stumbled upon it while on your channel. I am 100% certain that this is confirmation. Thank you so much for your obedience in making this.
This video came just in time for the season of my life I’m currently in. I just recently experienced a loss & asked God to speak to and guide me in the way I can hear to get me through this tough season. Sure enough he’s using you to speak to me. Definitely trying again with the Lord. Amazing! HE is working ❤
Praise Jesus for this message! An area in my life that God wants me to try again is in my dependence on Him. I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years because we both felt the Lord tug at our hearts to surrender one another to Him. The Lord revealed so so much to the both of us where we both came to realise that we were idolising each other and the relationship. A verse the Lord gave us is Isaiah 55:8-9, and although it was so painful to let go of something that I loved so much, I didn't want it to hinder my relationship with the Lord. Likewise, I didn't want to hinder my ex's calling to ministry and his relationship with Jesus. I trust that He will work all things out for our good and for His glory, and that He is calling us higher in our faith. It's a blessing to hear this message to be reminded that whatever the Lord is going to do for our lives is not just for us, but it will also be used to bless many others. I'm still in the process of healing and waiting for God to fulfil what He has promised but this message today really reminded me of who He is. God bless you sister 🤍
I want to say I am so happy that you are listening to what God has put on your heart to do because I need your videos some days. I have been trying to come back to God after being in a very dark place for almost two years. I am struggling so much with hearing His voice again and feeling terrible about it. Thank you again.
Love this! I really believe God is trying to teach to me to trust again but with Him, to trust Him first then learn to trust others. This message also spoke to me in a different way not only about the obedience that you touched on but also the fact that God already qualified Moses for the job even after being a “murderer”. Even with our sins and imperfections, God can still call and use us for greatness!
You have such an anointing of teaching over you sis! I feel like this moment, the Lord is calling be back to education where I experienced so much resentment and sadness and even pts, and gossip I felt persecuted I felt so alone at my old job from 9 years ago that I had left in 2016. I’m currently interviewing for another university for employment and the last 2 years have been so discouraging because I’ve lost my job three separate times, I felt I was doing it with the Lord and I still do. I felt the Lord kept bringing to my attention Moses, I heard it in my spirit three times and I failed to understand what He meant by it, your video made it simple and it gave me encouragement to try again, try again with Him. Pray for me, that I would be filled with courage and that He would be glorified because many there aren’t saved. Ty for your video it blessed me.☺️😊
God is calling me to try again where my health is concerned. Eating healthy, exercising and believing Him for healing. I've been so discouraged. This video and the email you sent were very timely.
Hi Melody, God will continue to keep you in the palm of his hands. I remember when you switched from posting new videos every Monday & Thursday to every Monday. You were nervous then about the decrease in posting but you were obedient. The same way God kept you then & provided is the same way he'll do it again. Proverbs 3:5-6 I too have made changes to my work schedule/load out of obedience and I'm a witness of His goodness & mercy. God bless you! 😊
This was awesome! I have felt the holy spirit placing this very thing in my heart. I have tried doing a lot on my own and am now trusting in him more and his guidance!
God is telling me to try again with school. Last fall I got into my dream college and it has been one heck of a ride. I even wanted to leave and actively tried to figure out how I could go to another school. But this school has everything that I need and I realize that God is using this to strengthen me. Because I knew people who came here. Which is also very rare because of where my school is located. But I severely underestimated just how tough it would be. But they have the best Chinese program in the state. And it was a blessing to get in and I have to remind myself that this is just the part of the story that's difficult but one day this shall pass.
Thank you for sharing Melody! I feel like I have to try again when it comes to having a relationship with God. I often get “on fire” for the Lord and then I will fall off. I feel like I really focus on me doing my part that I forget about allowing God to do his part and to also allow God to take his time refining me. I want change to happen fast and when it doesn’t I get discouraged and feel like I must be the one person God cannot change. I know both patience and discipline are fruits of the Holy Spirit and I need those both on my journey.
Hello Melody! This video has been confirmation of what God is calling me to do. I wasn’t going to post anything because comments get lost or buried in comment section, but this time I will be obedient. God has been calling me to share his word for awhile, in my own unique way, but I have doubted my ability and knowledge of his word. I’ve been watching your channel since you were single living in your studio apartment. I’ve watched how God has matured you in His word. I am thankful and blessed for your obedience Melody.
This video was so on time for me! God is asking me to go back to school and has put everything together so that all I have to do is walk in it and it is intimidating because I remember the experiences from before even the expectations placed on me from other people before and I’m having to be nervous, notice my thought patterns and walk in it anyway. I keep thinking of the scripture Isaiah 41:13 for anyone who might need it. “For I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.”
Hi Melody and everyone! Thank you for this video. This was such a great encouragement. I believe God is calling me to try again at my school. I am a writer studying screenwriting. I want to evangelize but I don't want to be forceful to people or pushy. So I believe God is calling me to try again and surrender my creative work of how I evangelize to others, so that I am not forceful but instead am actually spreading the gospel to people in a way that reflects the love and grace of Jesus. Something I also need to learn more about myself. So this was humbling and convicting, and I am thankful for this revelation and this video.
This was so encouraging, Melody. I don’t usually comment on videos, but this truly touched my heart. Thank you for your obedience. I love the changes to the channel, too! God is calling me to try again with him regarding my career and health/wellness. I read another comment that said she’d given things over to the Lord many times and has taken it right back, and that struck a chord with me. I’ve done the same thing in both areas of my life. I need to fully surrender, trust, and know that God is faithful and sovereign and desires my collaboration with him, not me taking matters into my own hands (like Sarah in the Bible). Also, as you mentioned in the video, I often get hung up on what hasn’t happened (yet) and forget how the Father has blessed my career and restored my health in the past. And although the shift I’m longing for may take time, trusting God in our waiting seasons is paramount. Thanks again, and be blessed. I look forward to the next video! ~ Whitney 💛
Thank you for this video, Melody! I struggle a lot with stress and having peace, but this encouraged me even more to give God the control. That’s really the only way I can get peace.
Hi Melody, wow what a word. I’ve been battling with fear of going back to school. I have taken most of my pre reqs classes and passed most of them but it seems like the closer I get into nursing school the harder it gets for me. I’ve failed one class in order to get my AA and I took the TEAS exam twice and failed. I’ve been so discouraged, cried and thinking maybe this isn’t what God wants me to do. I enrolled again this fall semester for that one class but dropped it because of fear of failing again. It’s been very tough road for me mentally and spiritually. Please pray for me. Ps I love your videos they are very uplifting.
hey, sis. let's chat! today's question: where in your life is God asking you to try again?
for me: girllll! i don't know where to begin 😅😂 there are a lots of places but i think the biggest one in this season is in realm of church community/ friendship. i had a less than great experience in a previous small group when I first moved to Atlanta and it's made me hesitant to "try again" in that area -- putting myself out there, expecting GENUINENESS from others, etc. & in His kindness, He led me to join a small group at our new church last month and it's been SOOO beautiful so far. Definitely learning how to take my time getting to know people and ask Him for discernment and truly lean on Him as I do this again.
Maybe, my love life. I have a tendency to give things to God, then take it right back; because I don’t see the changes when I give it God. Maybe he is telling me to put him first then the rest will follow.
I didn’t know you were in atl! We moved there 3 years ago as well. It definitely has been hard getting to know people/feeling a sense of belongingness.
In my business! I ran a presson nail business for 3yrs and made recorded 1 sale in Dec 2023, I realized I never asked him if that’s what he wanted for me, now he’s asking me to venture into something else but to trust him fully with it
For me, maybe trusting him with my life. Specifically love and career. I don't trust, mainly bc when I was doing what I thought was his will, those things didn't work out or have not yet come to pass so I began to question "maybe it wasn't God I heard", so I stopped dating, was unsure about my decisions, over thinking everything and fearful when making any type of decision. I was job hopping, but nothing felt like home. So now I am prayerful, still dealing with fear and trust, but making myself available to hear him and do what he says.
@@kaiyaclarkeAmen. I definitely understand this. May God help you through this as you lean on him and walk with him with your heart.
Loved this video, Ms. Melody! I’m a 20 year old virgin who’s never kissed or did drugs or had sex or messed with anything secular. However I have faced lots of bullying and isolation from my Hebrew Israelite family members. I almost went down that route until I accepted Jesus as my savior in 2023. I no longer speak to my family and I moved out for college, but lately it’s been getting lonely. I wanna try again with God. Please pray for me, my name is Key 🤍🤍🤍
Stay encouraged, sis, keep doing the right thing, and God will see you through. He is your strength!
❤❤❤❤❤
I will be praying for your Key!! God is with you sis. ♥️♥️
I’m so proud of you! I know you’ve gone through difficult times. I have too, and this path can be quite lonely but it is so worth it. You’ll be rewarded in Heaven! I’ve felt alone in a lot of periods of my life. I learned that I was never alone, God was with me the whole time! Just remember that ❤ Jesus will come to you whenever you ask. Best wishes in this life ❤
Keep the right path dear .You don't even realise how you are blessed and will be more blessed. Even with hard days you will be blessed becouse your life is being built on firm foundation.Christ and his word
I was moments away from ending my life. Living in chronic pain depression and anxiety. Just before I acted the Lord came to me and said these exact words ‘Would you just try it My Way?’ Then he healed me from it all. I no longer take medication, I don’t feel anxious depressed or in pain. I’ve given my life over to the Lord. I really did die that day. I am born again thanks to His grace.
I want to feel a breakthrough like this sooooooo bad.
Powerful 🙌🏿 he whom the Son sets free is free indeed. may He continue to bless and keep you!! ❤️🩹
@@studioofstyles6585trust Him, He is faithful.
Lord, as she submits to You and believes in your healing, wonder-working power to deliver her from the influence of the enemy, remind her that she is your child, Your sheep and You, her Shepherd, and that no one can snatch her out of your hand , as Your word declares in John 10:28. You came that we may have life & have it abundantly (John 10:10). So right now I declare that she shall live - truly live and not die, and I bind every force, tactic, strategy, and plan the enemy is trying to use as a weapon against her life and the calling you’ve placed on it.
In Your mighty name Jesus,
So be it !!
@@studioofstyles6585 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8 I pray breakthrough for you sister. 🙏🏾
@@Bryshthebeauty Amen! Thank you sister. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through Him.
God is telling me to try again with church. I have been distance lately and realized I can’t do this world alone. I need a community. So glad to get back in and be apart of the church.
That was me in July. I have never had a community and now I joined a church I love and have a community that is there for me always. I am glad i physically started going to church. I realized the more i lean on my understand the more the world shows me flames
I got baptized on Sunday 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Glory to God. This was my second time getting baptized! The reason is that I was 5 when I first got baptized and I didn’t know what I was committing to. I fell far away from God for most of my adult life. I was so completely lost without him, but now I’m so completely found. God is telling me to try my LIFE over again, but this time with HIM. For the first time I feel like I can look forward to the future and it will be abundant because of God! Thank you Jesus
God is telling me to try again in my academics:I am a very bright and inclined student but recently I went through a lot of challenges which affected my results and passion for school. God is telling me to try again and this time with him
Please pray over the anxiety I feel when tests approach, the distractions that want to come my way and to lean on Him and not my own understanding❤️
I pray that God continues to help us @msrorisang
I can relate with you with my new journey trying to study for the LSAT
@@jadelynm.velasquez6453 ❤️
Im experiencing the same and I seek The Lord for guidance
I’m so mentally tired, so pray I give every area of my life to God.
Sending you love and strength sis❤❤❤Praying for you!
Amen and amen.
u shall make it, in JESUS mighty name, amen.
Did you know Satan comes to wear the saints out? Don't give up, rely on His strength. He will help you.
I feel like he’s asking my to try again in every way. Love life, health, finances, career, lifestyle. Try it all again but with him 🤝
I feel the same
I literally became exhausted trying to do it my way, it’s so much more peaceful letting God lead even through uncertainty 😌
I finally quit smoking and stuck it out with God. I'm so shocked after praying to take the urge from me and it's working. Praise God and what he is doing in my life.
Im with you here. I fell back into it and as soon as I really prayed and asked for help, my urges are gone ❤ AMEN
Congrats!!
@@finashone7732 Im tearing up! Thank you for your prayers and for witnessing me ❤️ I will write down that prayer and recite it when I get the urges. Holy hobbies is so beautiful!! 🙏 God bless you!!!
I gave a testimony two Sundays ago about letting God take the lead in my life. I had a situation 3 months ago that left me in disappointment! My husband and family did their best to be my cheerleader and gave me the pep talk! As the months went by, God was talking to me, and I had decided to stop feeling sorry for myself. I tell you all, God is GOOD! Three months later, God showed me why He said no. I'm so grateful I didn't press on to get my way and instead left it in His hands. When God told Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you," what makes us think He doesn't know us too and will direct our paths if we let Him! Stay strong in the Lord and listen to the Holy Spirit when He speaks❤
This video came at an amazing time. I took a year off from school after my dad’s death and I drew closer to God during the last year so much so that I prioritize Bible study. I started back school and I am trying it this time with God as my 1st priority and everything else will fall in place. 😊
Hi!! That’s so awesome and a great time to start prioritizing God is in school. 🤗I pray that God will surround you with Godly friends who are also running the race with God that you can worship, pray, laugh and cry together with 💕 But most of all I pray that He surrounds you with people who point you to Jesus and who you can point to Jesus’ love as well
I've been in a season that took two years. God has been working on many things within my soul and it's been a painful process. I sought intimacy with Him, and He met me over and over. In the end my biggest breakthrough was RECEIVING His love and RECEIVING Him as my husband (because I am a widow). Believe me, I tried to get through my own way, but when you're really leaning into Him, He will get you to a place where you accept His way. On the other side, I am more satisfied, content and peaceful. Recently, God called me to walk into church and give my testimony. No notes, just Holy Spirit led. My knees were knocking, but I spoke. Later, God made it clear that He had me testify before my spiritual family to confirm to my self that the season is over. Keep going if you are struggling! Go back to Him in prayer over and over because He is faithful and will finish what He started. Everything Melody advised is right on. You will make it through!
Beautiful ❤
This brought me to tears, God bless you🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing this
I’ve been looking for a job for the past 9 months now, living on my own and trying to make it work. I dove headfirst into my faith the first 3 months and it was the most peaceful (and difficult) time of my life. After March though, I think I just got burnt out and hurt that I hadn’t seen any of the outcomes I’d expected and prayed for. The disappointment was just a bit too much for me to handle at the time. I think He’s now asking me to try again with trusting Him in my job search and career move. That He’ll take care of me, my family and the people I care about. That we’ll all be okay and that all I have to do is TRY to trust Him and worry only about the next step He’s asking me to take. Even though I can’t help but see all the ways that it can go wrong, all it takes is His hand I think for it all to change and go right again (maybe not in the same way, but in a new way). Hope you are all well. Stay strong ♥️
1. Obedience to try again doesn’t only effect him.
2. Bring all of your fears to the Lord and let him give you his perspective
3. Your unique life experiences were integral to you being the person for the calling that God has put on your life
4. Don’t forget what God has done in the past
Thank you for this video!
I’ve been In Alaska for The past 12 years (on and off).God spoke to my heart recently , revealing that my time in Alaska is done. He is now directing me back to the East Coast, forcing me to lean on him completely. I’m leaving all my stability behind and headed back to my uncertain beginnings of NYC.
I asked God for confirmation to help ease my fears. This video was the FIRST video to appear on my feed. I cried because I know god used you to speak to me. So I want to thank you for your obedience to God.

God is asking me to try again in my health 💚 To abstain from sugar, but this time not in my own strength, but out of Love and Obedience to Him. Help me, Jesus, I can't do this on my own 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@BestYearEver2024 I can so relate to that. God's desire is for us to obey Him out of love for Him. I pray God grants grace for us to live in obedience to Him out of love for Him. To take proper care of our bodies, His temple.
We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
@@royallt4218 Amen 🙏🏽
I believe for me it’s Trust. I’ve been doing things in my own way but NOTHING has been working out: searching for a job, helping family members with different things, surmounting bills, etc. It’s been a very tiring and weary season and I cry daily. Today, I surrendered everything because I’m out of fuel. I’m trying to be intentional about trusting God when my feelings and everything around me tells me that nothing is working.
I want to try again with God in building my life from my home, to my friendships, and career with Jesus at the center. Even though I grew up Christian, I've been prone to wander and came back to Christ officially last year. Since then, he's been shaking up everything I thought I had; showing me who and what was my god before Him. I'm fully surrendering it all to Him now, so that my life can bring Him the glory.
Thank you so much for this video! I am 24, very introverted, I don't date, I tend to isolate myself too much, and I struggle a lot with social anxiety constantly doubting everything about myself and everyone around me. Your videos have helped me grow in faith so much; however, the more I grow, the more flaws I find in myself that I struggle to deal with mentally, emotionally, and physically. I find myself backsliding more and more and the things in my life that were once stable are now shaking and breaking down around me. My family and I have suffered so much loss for so many years, and we are currently facing eviction with nowhere to go. I just really need God to tell me directly what it is I am here for or where I fit in this life. I don't want to go through this anymore or feel like I am just wasting His time.
Please just pray for me. Thank you.
Keep always God first and rely on Him, ask Him for guidance and move trusting in Him and seeking Him first, God is always with you. His timing is perfect, He has a purpuse for you, ask for His guidance and strenght, through Him you can do it. Jesus loves you!! 💕💕
@@caarla15 thank you so much, I very much needed this🧡
Salvation is a process. Be patient with yourself and be patient with God as He works. Keep the faith. It doesn't cost anything to believe.
God is telling me to try again with walking in my calling and also with starting my TH-cam channel and sharing the knowledge and wisdom He so freely gives to me. The gifts that He instills in us are not only for ourselves but to help those who are in need of Jesus's touch. We help the body of Christ and we help lead those who don't yet know Him, to Him.
Thank you, Melody. You are filled with the Holy Spirit and God has used you to lead leaders. God bless you. ❤
Yesss, We need more Christians in this space sis! excited to see what God has in store for you and those you are to impact with your yes to Him to try again 🙌🏾
God is telling me to try again with my health I have lupus and kidney disease and I’ve been trying to deal with this sickness alone , but I realized I need him more then ever to guide me💜
Lord jesus Heal her from her sickness and guide her and lead her lord Jesus Rap your healing hands around her and heal her in the name of Jesus Give her the strongest faith ever fill her with Your love peace and Joy and help her to grow stronger with you I pray you guide her and lead her and heal her IN JESUS NAME AMEN💕✝️
This is such perfect timing, i literally just was about to accept that i could not walk in obedience to God in the area of what I eat. I know my body does not like it when I eat sugary snacks and i had declared that I would stay away from refined sugar. But, my husband bought a whole carton of cookies yestefday and I have eaten more than is good for me.
So, as I wrestled with myself a short while ago i asked for God to help me. My flesh was leading me to eat and I asked God for grace to resist. I had done well in the past, but this time i was about to give up.
This message is right in time and I certainly will try again but this time I will do so with God.
Thanks Melody.
Thank you for this message! ❤🙏🏾
@@terrybuckley2850❤
I was scared of people's opinions and scared that God wouldn't help me, but he is helping me time and time again 😭✨️
Wow. This morning I was working through your Ezra workbook, and today was chapter 6, reflecting on times when the lord has gone beyond hopes and expectations. I'm currently unemployed, and I've been unwell the past few days, so my heart posture was not great at that moment - I had to be real with the most high and say, I'm sure there's been loads of blessings but I can only see the failures, help me to position my heart better. I followed up my reading with this video and I felt so seen and understood. It was exactly where I'm at. "Hesitant to trust God in the current because we miss the ways in which he showed up for us in the past." All praises, and thank you xxx
Trying again with GOD - in health (eating right and getting off sugar and processed foods), in wealth (budgeting and saving for land ownership. Working on being a good steward in ALL areas). In full obedience (working on writing and ministry focus).
Will be re-watching this video to get it ingrained in my head! I have struggled to get in my field since graduating 2 years ago and currently not doing so well financially. I am desperately looking to get another job, but I am worried that I might pick up a job just to survive and lose focus on what God is able to do for my life. I need to find my new career with God's help 🙏
The Lord is leading me back into an occupation that I never thought He would. But I have no doubt that this is where I'm to go.
🙌🏾♥️
God is telling me to try again with deciding my future study plans for university. I’ve experienced a lot of failure like never before in my life academically and started to doubt the plans God has for me. Thankfully however, God has lovingly convicted me of many things through this season and telling me to try again but this time with Him. Thank you Jesus. I believe in the promise you placed in my heart and I will try again with you this time❤
This video was 100% for me. I was praying and asking God to help me on my weight loss journey but I was feeling so defeated. I’ve started and stopped more times than I can count but my desire for health & wellness is so strong within me. In my prayer I heard God say something and I asked Him for confirmation so I would know it’s His plan for me as I try again. He led me to this video this morning and the title & the scriptures confirmed it. I’m trying again to get healthy for the Lord so I can continue doing the work He’s called me to do🙏🏾❤️
I’m on a 40 day Fast and as I am typing this I am half way through it’s my 20th day and it’s been the most memorable time of my life thus far, where I can differentiate between knowing God’s voice and I am at the point where God is repeating to me over and over about being OBEDIENT cause the fear of the Lord is so real… and I fear the fear of the Lord just yesterday and it’s a feeling I don’t want to ever feel again in my life again. So I will be obedient to God for the rest of my life. 1 Samuel 15:22 Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice. And God knows why he told us that….the fear of the Lord is real and you should fear him only it makes all your alignment in this life get aligned. Serve God in fullness and truth, be holy and righteous…
Hi Melody! I’m in college and I almost dropped a psychology class that I kept feeling led to stay in. I haven’t had the best experiences with the subject and there always seemed to be something pulling me away from it or causing me to not like it. But I feel like God is calling me to stay in the class and today, I prayed for God to show me that He wanted me to stay and this video was confirmation. Thank you!
I think everywhere and every day that I haven’t fully matured spiritually is where He is wanting to me to try again with Him first and none of me. Every day that He blesses me with is another chance to try again. 🙌🏽
Hey I’m struggling living in London UK, jobless right now. Living off of 2 pounds in my bank account at the moment. Really appreciate this video so much. I’ve been applying for marketing and design jobs for a few months and nothing is happening (I have a bachelors degree and 6 years work experience). I’ve applied to 248 at the moment with cover letters. I moved to London because I’ve felt God has called me here and I don’t want to leave yet as I just got here and I know he has a purpose for me here. Just praying for a miracle at this point.
I am in a similar boat only in the U.S. Its been so tiring but I’m still praying, seeking, knocking and asking God for strength. Those doors will open for us soon
@@l.t.9245amen! Praying for you!
Hey, I'm literally in the same boat as you hun! Also, in London as well! I'm trying to keep on showing up, trusting Him and drawing close to Him. There's nothing more I can do by worrying BUT I can hold on to His promise and keep on with applications. Surely as He has promised He will fulfil it and it'll happen when you least expect it, at His appointed time. 💓💓Much love to you girlie!
I live in London and it can be tough but God will provide and he will do so on His own time and His time is the best 🙏🏾 I remembered times being so broke and thinking what I could eat or where I could sleep the next day.. yes it was really bad and God came through all the time and he gave me the strength to go through it and I found a job in the end….. Please Continue to pray and trust his plan. Make sure you include God and seek Him in your everyday life while you’re waiting for the right TIME! I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏾🫶🏾
God is so close to you. He will meet you where you are. Keep trusting Him
Thank you so much, I cried in the office bathroom today because I honestly was getting scared anxious and tired that the process I'm on won't work out but then I came across your video ❤️
I was Baptized on June 30th 2024. I got tired of doing things in my own power and my own will and not fully trusting God. I needed to fully surrender my life. I was baptized when I was younger, but this time it had a different meaning. I truly want what God wants for me. 5 years ago I went through a really traumatic divorce/child custody battle that left me in a very depressed season of my life. It was only God who helped me through it. I still struggle with it because I have a child who is involved and I only want the best for him it’s difficult dealing with my ex but i push through with lots of prayer. I want to get married again but this time not idolizing it and making it my golden calf which is did in my previous situation. I want only what God has for me and I will wait on him.
This is the second message I’ve gotten about trying again. Im trying to understand what he wants me to retain. I just finished a 3 day fast and throughout this fast I have been praying for provisions, understanding, healing, forgiveness & wisdom to move (my lease is up lol) and God has provided those things. But I have been getting these dreams, specifically this one that was an invoice for moving supplies that said it would be delivered 1 day & 6 hours from the time of the dream. Praying uses this episode to bring me more clarity & understanding.
In my life God is calling me to try again with my health and letting him speak to me through the process required to bring me solution and understanding of my body and self on a deeper level. It's been a struggling and stressful process and at times I've wanted to give up, throw in the towel and just put up with it but I just keep being reminded to take my time, see it through, trust the process and that it won't be this way forever as long as I stay the course, I will receive all the answers & knowledge to get through this and even to help someone else!
Pursuing my studies with God this time. I have been tired, but recently God made me realize that I have been doing things in my own strength. That of course, runs out.
Glad that you are back. Such a blessing. 🎉
aw thank you so much sis!! so happy to be back
Such a great reminder that God is the ultimate and best designer! Everything is done with intention. Thank you Lord!!
It's the way this video has been showing up on my feed asking to be watched. God WILL speak. Everything was just so timely but in particular I thank you for reminding us to look back on a season where it feels like God didn't answer and see what He might have done instead. A couple of years ago I got the yes to go do an unpaid internship in Spain but it fell through. What ended up happening is that I got a paid internship in Zimbabwe (my home country) and got the chance to learn a lot of skills (and a source of income) I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. In any case I feel like God is still calling to me Spain it's just that back then wasn't the time, and I would not have known what I now know. In all things, He's an on time God. So I'm looking forward to just taking His hand and letting Him lead. I struggle with doubt but leaving it to Him is so freeing. I pray for encouragement and strength to all your viewers, may God lead, may He show us the way in which we should go, and ultimately would He get the praise, honor, and Glory from our testimonies. Amen.
God is asking me to try again with Him when it comes to stewarding every single thing He has blessed me with on this earth- my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit; my relationships with people; my academics/career path; material possessions etcc..
Thank you for this message! God is leading me to start my home care agency again! I started a few times before I got overwhelmed and frustrated and I stopped. I feel like God is telling me not to give up because no matter how I try to shake the feeling try to put things off he keeps nudging me and telling me to get started again. I work full-time and I don’t want to leave my job yet until I have everything in place. I just keep praying!
The Lord is telling me to try this business again but let Him lead bc man I have no clue what I’m doing. Also to Try to live my life again but with Him before all that I do. I’m 20 and living like I’m 30, He wants me to live anew again as if I am still a child. Thank you for this video, it sent chills in my body and ringing in my right ear ❤
To try again walking with God intimately. Day by day. Step by step.
I don't want to do it without him this time. I surrender ALL
God is asking me to try again on leaning solely on Him to provide and make a way. I am a stay-at-home mom, my husband works, and we have 5 wonderful kids. Two of which are my little brother and sister, who unfortunately no longer have their parents. For the past 4 years I've been in fight or flight mode' always doing what we can to make it through. Not leaning on anyone or asking for handouts. I tried once before, letting God take control and in the flesh, I just could not bear knowing the "what Ifs". The time has come where I've decided whole heartedly to allow God to take control of everything in my life no matter what it may be. Leaning on His understanding and not my own. Seeing His mercy and grace in areas I didn't see them in before, not because they weren't there but because He truly opens your eyes to see things the enemy has tricked us into being oblivious to. I am about 2 months in, and I couldn't even begin to express just how much things have changed. It's literal peace He gives you in the midst of a storm. Granting you with eyes and ears to see and hear what we cannot without Him!
girl i be avoiding your videos so bad and that's how i KNOW God is using you bc i'm not ready to be held accountable in my faith. Anyway God bless you Melody fr
I do that in general with other Christian videos but I know it’s God, and sometimes they’re promoted over and over again and feel that nudge…it’s God! And He’s good all the time ❤
Hi, I just watched the video, which is so timely. Praise the Lord! I wanted to mention that while reading along with the verses in Matthew 11:1-15, I didn't see where John the Baptist fell into discouragement and asked Jesus why he hadn’t gotten him out of jail. John only asked if Jesus was the Messiah or if they should wait for another
😂 I said if she’s says Moses.. I’m going to know God is talking to me. I just finished Exodus and now I’m in Deuteronomy 😅 . They still are rebellious when God is trying to get them to the promise land. I love this video ❤
Moses indeed hahah God is so funny. thank you sis!
Literally everything been talking about Moses for me lately and I’m like okay God I hear you!
Same!!! As soon as she said Exodus and Moses, I turned the video off for 10 minutes before I continued to watch it.
Doing things God’s way is the best. My goodness, I cannot do things on my own. When we do things with God, it works according to His will. Thank you for sharing 🤗🥁
The Lord is so good and kind. The Lord is telling me to try again in the area of deliverance. He has been calling me to study Exodus for years now that I think about it, I started listening through my audio Bible and could really relate to Moses' character in regards to wanting to deliver justice in my own limited nature. I've been going through so much spiritual warfare, feeling extremely tormented, anxious and weary, I didn't see this perspective in the story of Exodus where God was telling me to try again with him until the Lord brought this video on my suggestions. I have faith and hope that the Lord is going to give me more strength to try again. Praise Jesus! 💕💯🔥
Thank you for this word! Recently, I realized that I had been relying on myself to find the perfect remedy to heal myself from Endometriosis, from diet changes and herbal supplements to surgeries. You name it, I’ve probably done it. I am done with that. Me not leaning fully on God has led to nothing but disappointment. I am now fully relying on God to do what I asked Him to do. I believe this is all He has been waiting for. I am letting God lead. There isn’t a magical tea, pill, or person that can do what God can!
Hi Melody! I usually don't comment, but I just finished watching your video and felt led to chime in the community. For starters, I am so proud to see how far you've come as a content creator! I used to keep up with your channel a while back but then life hit (lol) & I hadn't been keeping up with some of my fav. content creators for a while up until last year. I love that you stay true to the mission of sharing the gospel.
There are few areas I could talk about, but the biggest two areas I believe God is leading me to try again is in my career and stepping out as a Christian content creator. It's been a difficult journey, especially on YT. I try to find the balance of working with what I have (e.g. equipment, editing, etc.) while trusting God to do His part in allowing me to reach my audience. I'm not an algorithm girly; I truly trust God to do what He does best! I started in October of last year and took a much needed break this summer & came back with a fresh perspective. I was disappointed because I hadn't reached some of my goals in these areas of my life, but I've let it all go & am trying to "try again". Would you consider doing a video about your journey as a content creator and maybe some tips for those that the Lord is calling into this space? Any advice would be helpful!
God is asking me to try again in my marriage. As it so happens, I am watching this on September 3 and it is my third wedding anniversary with my husband.🎉 god has called me to follow his lead when it comes to marriage. I have watched and been mesmerized by online
couples for years and always imagine my marriage would be like that, but I didn’t realize that a lot of people put on a show. I am now leaning into and listening to God and following his lead to become the best wife I can be on my own terms. Our marriage is sacred and it’s not for everyone to see, and I shouldn’t be basing my idea of a relationship on people I don’t even know. Additionally, I, no longer based my relationship off of the relationships I’ve seen in my everyday life.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but this is such a timely message for me and where I am currently. I just want to say thank you for being obedient to Gods word and giving this message to us. ❤
God bless you, Melody. This video is right on time. I recently lost a family member to "self-deletion." I haven't allowed The Lord to heal me; even worse, I've been trying to heal in my own strength. Today, he revealed that I need to take some time away from work and allow Him to fully heal me, so I'm able to care for others.
Love love love the part about how our calling is so related to our experiences!!
Hey sis, this video was such a blessing and so timely 🙏🏼 I've been going through a season of waiting for God's deliverance and it has taken a lot for me mentally to keep trusting in God even though things aren't working out the way I've planned. But I think God is wanting me to try and trust him again because he's definitely done it before ❤❤❤
Thank you, I was looking for a video that encouraged me through this journey and I came across yours.
I am 34yrs old and was diagnosed with breast cancer in January, Its been tough. Im a believer and I know god has already healed me, but it doesn’t take away from the hard days that I have. I needed a reminder to not give up and keep going with god by my side. Thank you 🙏
Bay-bay! This was a WHOLE WORD!!!!! I felt Gods presence through out this video! Thank you!
This message is so timely … God has been telling me consistently to surrender and follow him
Thank you Sister for this beautiful message that spoke so clearly to me. I thank the Lord for you and this message and believe thet He is calling me to finish the book He told me to write nearly 10 years ago. I have been running, and disobedient to what I know He has graced me to do by giving in to the many distractions and cares of this world instead. Thank you again for this encouraging word and I pray that the Lord continues to bless and empower you to help many as you have helped me this day.
At the beginning of this year I tried to get a visa to visit my family in the US (which I haven’t seen in 10 years) and was denied. I was very disappointed obviously but still I felt a peace in my heart bc I had prayed that it only happen if it was in God’s good plans for me. I have faith that next year may be the right time to reapply bc now I have my medical degree and am interested in taking the USMLE (an exam for foreign doctors). I feel like this plan seems like something that will honor my life story as well as bless countless other lives. Pray for me faith fam, if it’s the Lord’s will I’m certain it will happen 🙌🏼
Girl, the FIRST line already gave me chills- I’m so glad you’re back❤ thank you for this! Okay, on my way to watch the rest 😂 0:18
I think I’m called to try leaning on the Lord again. I’m about to move abroad for the first time. The temptation for distraction and being hyper-independent is REAL. I am excited to get plugged into a church body and show people I live for the Lord!
I definitely feel like God is allowing me an opportunity to start over
God I will try again, this time with your you. Amen 🙏
This Video was definitely for me indeed
being all the way in the Caribbean and still getting this video on my home page.
lately the lord has been calling me to seek him and making him first and i can tell you when i listened and started doing that
now my life feel so much better in all aspects of my life.
Thank you..today I picked up something I had laid at the feet of Jesus, trying to help and assist..smh. This was a kind reminder I was on the right path. Just leaving it at his feet, lean into him, and rest in his will.
This rings true to me. Thank you for the confirmation
you're so welcome sis! May God get the glory where He is calling us!
To Try again at life and the paths set before me but with him and not about the money or the people but it's about God and purpose because I can't shake the things put on my heart to do and how by obeying the Lord I can share his glory, kindness, strength, love and word through the work that I do.
Okay, firstly I need to say that you are so beautiful and precious my dear sister. I immediately saw the love of God upon on you & it made me tear up!!! So proud of you my sister in Christ for sitting at the feet of Jesus, that He may shine through you!! Secondly, I’m not even 2 minutes in, & I started giggling because the Lord immediately started calling me out. Hahaha praise the Lord & His timing & convictions!! Look forward to seeing this video that you & the Lord have made, & what ways He plans to use it to transform my mind, & my brothers & sisters around us! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Friend! ❤️❤️
3:57 YES 🙌🏻
This could not be the most perfect timing. Thank you Lord 🙏🏾
So powerful. As someone relatively new to the workforce and a former burnt out overachiever (lol), seeing how intentionally you approach each aspect of how you deliver your message, from how carefully you speak to the accompanying downloadable for each video, to reassessing and moving differently when you realize the way things are going isn't sustainable, it's all SO inspiring and it's teaching me a lot about how to move with purpose, on purpose!
It is almost scary how spot-on this video is. God has been speaking to me these last few days regarding "trying again" with him and the project also involves leading His people out of Egypt, metaphorically speaking. I was not looking for this video, I just stumbled upon it while on your channel. I am 100% certain that this is confirmation. Thank you so much for your obedience in making this.
This video came just in time for the season of my life I’m currently in. I just recently experienced a loss & asked God to speak to and guide me in the way I can hear to get me through this tough season. Sure enough he’s using you to speak to me. Definitely trying again with the Lord. Amazing! HE is working ❤
Praise Jesus for this message! An area in my life that God wants me to try again is in my dependence on Him. I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years because we both felt the Lord tug at our hearts to surrender one another to Him. The Lord revealed so so much to the both of us where we both came to realise that we were idolising each other and the relationship. A verse the Lord gave us is Isaiah 55:8-9, and although it was so painful to let go of something that I loved so much, I didn't want it to hinder my relationship with the Lord. Likewise, I didn't want to hinder my ex's calling to ministry and his relationship with Jesus. I trust that He will work all things out for our good and for His glory, and that He is calling us higher in our faith. It's a blessing to hear this message to be reminded that whatever the Lord is going to do for our lives is not just for us, but it will also be used to bless many others. I'm still in the process of healing and waiting for God to fulfil what He has promised but this message today really reminded me of who He is. God bless you sister 🤍
God is telling me to try to run my own business again. This time I will do it with God! ❤ Thank you for this reminder!
This is BIG confirmation for me, I really heard this exact message from the Lord during worship last week.
I want to say I am so happy that you are listening to what God has put on your heart to do because I need your videos some days. I have been trying to come back to God after being in a very dark place for almost two years. I am struggling so much with hearing His voice again and feeling terrible about it. Thank you again.
Thank you for this beautiful reminder of the power that God gives us when we stand with him. Trying again but with God is absolutely worth it.
Love this! I really believe God is trying to teach to me to trust again but with Him, to trust Him first then learn to trust others. This message also spoke to me in a different way not only about the obedience that you touched on but also the fact that God already qualified Moses for the job even after being a “murderer”. Even with our sins and imperfections, God can still call and use us for greatness!
You have such an anointing of teaching over you sis! I feel like this moment, the Lord is calling be back to education where I experienced so much resentment and sadness and even pts, and gossip I felt persecuted I felt so alone at my old job from 9 years ago that I had left in 2016. I’m currently interviewing for another university for employment and the last 2 years have been so discouraging because I’ve lost my job three separate times, I felt I was doing it with the Lord and I still do. I felt the Lord kept bringing to my attention Moses, I heard it in my spirit three times and I failed to understand what He meant by it, your video made it simple and it gave me encouragement to try again, try again with Him. Pray for me, that I would be filled with courage and that He would be glorified because many there aren’t saved. Ty for your video it blessed me.☺️😊
God is calling me to try again where my health is concerned. Eating healthy, exercising and believing Him for healing. I've been so discouraged. This video and the email you sent were very timely.
Hi Melody, God will continue to keep you in the palm of his hands. I remember when you switched from posting new videos every Monday & Thursday to every Monday. You were nervous then about the decrease in posting but you were obedient. The same way God kept you then & provided is the same way he'll do it again. Proverbs 3:5-6
I too have made changes to my work schedule/load out of obedience and I'm a witness of His goodness & mercy. God bless you! 😊
This was awesome! I have felt the holy spirit placing this very thing in my heart. I have tried doing a lot on my own and am now trusting in him more and his guidance!
God is telling me to try again with school. Last fall I got into my dream college and it has been one heck of a ride. I even wanted to leave and actively tried to figure out how I could go to another school. But this school has everything that I need and I realize that God is using this to strengthen me. Because I knew people who came here. Which is also very rare because of where my school is located. But I severely underestimated just how tough it would be. But they have the best Chinese program in the state. And it was a blessing to get in and I have to remind myself that this is just the part of the story that's difficult but one day this shall pass.
Plus I'm also an older age student being back on a campus with teenagers at 28 has been😅😅😅
Thank you for sharing Melody! I feel like I have to try again when it comes to having a relationship with God. I often get “on fire” for the Lord and then I will fall off. I feel like I really focus on me doing my part that I forget about allowing God to do his part and to also allow God to take his time refining me. I want change to happen fast and when it doesn’t I get discouraged and feel like I must be the one person God cannot change. I know both patience and discipline are fruits of the Holy Spirit and I need those both on my journey.
Hello Melody! This video has been confirmation of what God is calling me to do. I wasn’t going to post anything because comments get lost or buried in comment section, but this time I will be obedient. God has been calling me to share his word for awhile, in my own unique way, but I have doubted my ability and knowledge of his word. I’ve been watching your channel since you were single living in your studio apartment. I’ve watched how God has matured you in His word. I am thankful and blessed for your obedience Melody.
This video was so on time for me! God is asking me to go back to school and has put everything together so that all I have to do is walk in it and it is intimidating because I remember the experiences from before even the expectations placed on me from other people before and I’m having to be nervous, notice my thought patterns and walk in it anyway. I keep thinking of the scripture Isaiah 41:13 for anyone who might need it. “For I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.”
Hi Melody and everyone! Thank you for this video. This was such a great encouragement. I believe God is calling me to try again at my school. I am a writer studying screenwriting. I want to evangelize but I don't want to be forceful to people or pushy. So I believe God is calling me to try again and surrender my creative work of how I evangelize to others, so that I am not forceful but instead am actually spreading the gospel to people in a way that reflects the love and grace of Jesus. Something I also need to learn more about myself.
So this was humbling and convicting, and I am thankful for this revelation and this video.
Amen 🙌🏾 this is so on time for the season. God has me in this place , I bind up fear I trust God 🙏🏽
This was so encouraging, Melody. I don’t usually comment on videos, but this truly touched my heart. Thank you for your obedience. I love the changes to the channel, too!
God is calling me to try again with him regarding my career and health/wellness. I read another comment that said she’d given things over to the Lord many times and has taken it right back, and that struck a chord with me. I’ve done the same thing in both areas of my life. I need to fully surrender, trust, and know that God is faithful and sovereign and desires my collaboration with him, not me taking matters into my own hands (like Sarah in the Bible). Also, as you mentioned in the video, I often get hung up on what hasn’t happened (yet) and forget how the Father has blessed my career and restored my health in the past. And although the shift I’m longing for may take time, trusting God in our waiting seasons is paramount.
Thanks again, and be blessed. I look forward to the next video!
~ Whitney

This video is right on time! You are such a light and a transmitter for the lords messages. Thank you for all you do!
I’ve been praying a lot over a relationship of mine and maybe this is God telling me to try again, with Him🙏 I trust His timing above all🙏
Thank you for this video, Melody! I struggle a lot with stress and having peace, but this encouraged me even more to give God the control. That’s really the only way I can get peace.
Hi Melody, wow what a word. I’ve been battling with fear of going back to school. I have taken most of my pre reqs classes and passed most of them but it seems like the closer I get into nursing school the harder it gets for me. I’ve failed one class in order to get my AA and I took the TEAS exam twice and failed. I’ve been so discouraged, cried and thinking maybe this isn’t what God wants me to do. I enrolled again this fall semester for that one class but dropped it because of fear of failing again. It’s been very tough road for me mentally and spiritually. Please pray for me. Ps I love your videos they are very uplifting.
