When Lokelani said, "We discredit what Jesus did for us on the cross every time we worry," that really hit home. Thank you so much Alex and Lokelani for allowing God to use you and share all these teachings and your wisdom with us❤❤❤
I worry about my finances/stability and my current upcoming custody battle. More so about his moms reaction as she can be ruthless with her tactics against me. I worry about that when I shouldn’t and trust God more in the situation. I have to trust Him more deeply, and be in His joy, knowing that all things work together.
Like Lokelani said, I worry a lot that I’m not doing enough, and it’s so refreshing to hear the reminder that we are enough through Christ! Thank you guys so much for these, they are such a massive help to believers everywhere!
This is perfect for me. I'm a worrier, all the time. I have anxiety about everything in life. I need to be much better about walking in trust with Him. 😞🙏❤️
I feel I tend to worry over academic tests and examinations. This year I have my year to Christ and with it being my final year in high school, you would think I would be filled with stress like I have never before. But it is the total opposite. Through prayer and repetition, I have presented my requests to God and he has allowed me to live in these exam seasons almost unworried and filled with the love of Christ. I told myself that I would constantly spend time with him, even if I did not feel prepared and many would believe this to increase my stress and anxiety, but no, through Jesus my stress has been relieved. I would just like to give thanks to our Lord and saviour. I owe nothing to myself but everything to him. Praise be to the lord most high who died for us so that we can live a unworried life. Amen
amen!! this message spoke directly to me because i tend to worry 24/7. i’m mainly worried about finances. but instead of being worried i should give them to God and go into prayer!
That pretzel story was FIRE. I fear that Jesus isn’t really and that my efforts to seek Him, trust Him, and know Him more deeply are all in vain and I won’t see Him face to face. I’m an analytic person because that’s how God made me and He gave me that mind to clearly see how He’s worked in my life I. The last and to be a doer, not just a hearer. This podcast has helped me on my walk so much and I’m honored to call you guys my brother and sister in Christ.
To be honest I worry about things that don’t even matter!!! I worry about the most littlest things but I got to understand that God will always make a way !!!!I Have to just relax, smile and let God do HIS thing 😎 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding;” Proverbs 3:5 HCSB “Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 HCSB
This was great timing in my life. I worry all the time. About my health, my family’s health, the future of my children, not being alive for them, not being able to grow my family etc. & this spoke to me so deeply. I don’t want to worry, God has our lives planned out. Learning to trust him is definitely hard. But thank you for sharing and for that reminder 🙏🏽
i tend to worry about finances, clothes, they way i present myself, my relationship. But that just shows i’m operating in a place of understanding and not a place of peace.
I have been worrying so much over the past year especially these last few months with my brothers health issues but I am constantly reminded that God is in control not me. If God did it before he can do it again. I just need to trust him in this season and know that he is working everything out for my good. He was faithful in the past... he will be faithful now and in the future. Surrender everything to God. Everything will be okay!
I've been worrying about getting all my school done before summer. This helped me realize as long as I try my best and let God lead it will all work out.
I want to learn to depend on God. I worry so much about pleasing my parents that I focus so much on school and put God in the back burner. I need to learn to put Him first.
I definitely needed to hear this one. I worry about my kids but also my little apartment with 3 kids, trying to get my oyster farm producing a profit, and finding a good Christian wife.
I am so grateful for finding the Amen Podcast, YHWH has led me here to feed my mind, body and soul in Christ's name. I listen to these blessed messages daily in companionship of reading my bible for study to strengthen my bond with Jehovah Nissi. I feel so well equipped after your sermons and I have even dedicated more intentional time to studying my bible, again thank you both.
Ive been worried about my final exams in high school during this time....Thank you for the reminder Alex and Loki❤ Much needed im sure by everyone watching .....My focus should be on Him and I pray i may be reminded daily to fear not for the future but do my best and let God do the rest! I wont lie quality time with Him has been lost during this season, but I shall overcome with Him and be restored! Thank you Jesus for being sovereign 🙏🏼🙌🏿
Ngl, no one is gonna read this but I've been worrying a lot about what other people are thinking about me because I'm a christian. I never really cared about what my classmates or teachers think but thinking about what the people in the future will see in my religion (atheists, future colleagues, friends, etc.) Sometimes I wake up scared to death just because I worry about all of the ways they will talk about christianity. And it's worrying me rn. And I worry that even if I find a good enough reason to believe in God, they will attack that and make me lose my faith. My friends and family keeps saying to not worry abt those stuff but I can't. I know God doesn't want me to worry about it and I already tried to tackle and fight it for weeks now but that feeling of anxiety and judgement and shame keeps creeping up and in the end blasting me with sadness and fear again. And I try to distract myself but I know damn well it won't work. I get reminded everyday to not worry, because God takes care of me and worrying is useless. But how can I not worry and how can I really take that in when my problem is God in the first place, the one who's taking care of me (I have no personal hatred or attacks against him, I'm just so confused and scared). And I get so scared thinking of leaving my faith and joining the atheist or some sh- BUT IT KEEPS GOING INTO MY HEAD TT. It's not that there's anything wrong w atheists (except for not believing in God) I just don't want to leave God. And yet this fear and worry and overthinking, scared to go all in because what if it'll backtrack all in the end once I found out that he's not real or something. I'm scared that all will be wasted and gone even though that's not really true. Even my parents say it won't be wasted, cause living w God makes things lighter and you'll have someone that knows and loves you even if he isn't real. It's just that- I'm scared to be prosecuted and hurt and personally attacked and deeply analyzed and cursed by other people who think God is a bad thing. Even when I remind myself that there are other people who believe, it doesn't help. I still feel stuck, and lonely and scared. And it's hard for me to remind myself of God's love because I keep telling myself that I'm probably just hallucinating or wishing he was true and the voices that are telling me that he loves me are fake. I worry so much to the point where I'm scared to leave myself alone with my thoughts at night. Constantly trying to talk to friends even though I'm tired of talking because I hate the feeling that'll creep in if I don't. And I tried to watch apologetics n stuff but It's still not enough. I am always doubting and questioning and imagining the worst. It's literally got to the point where I can't eat properly and I stay up all night and trying to go back to my sins again thinking that maybe I'll be okay without God just like they said. Nothing worked. So hopeless and lost but I never gave up on God, not truly. And I know it's gonna be hard getting through this and I'm sorry if this makes you scared as well. I don't know what to do but at the same time, I know that all I need is him and to trust that he CAN and he WILL. Whatever it may be, because his love is good and he wants the best for me, for me to have peace and strength in him.
Every time you start to worry open up your Bible to these verses Alex just spoke about. Read them out loud to yourself. Pray and meditate on God’s word. I hope that this helps I will pray for you.
Hey, I battled with this of recent and when praying and just trying to let God know my heart and what's worrying me, a word came to me that He who began this faith in me will see it to completion. I don't have to worry about falling away from the faith because God is the faithful God and he will finish what He started. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Good Shepherd who keeps His sheep and doesn't let them be preyed upon. Keep in the company of brethren, Eat up the Word of God, reach out to those of even stronger and deeper faith than yours, keep consistent in the place of prayer so your roots grow deeper in Christ. I pray you receive the revelation from God's Word to quench these attacks on your mind. It is well with your soul. Don't mind the devils games, you don't have to be afraid. I love you but God loves you more, Happy Sunday!
I love this message because I’m going through a lot of changes in my life. I know God called me for the right reason leading me to quit running (collegiately). Now I’m in sort of what am I going to do phase (identity crisis) like I’m not sure what God wants me to do yet. My thoughts draw back to possibly coming up with a solution to go back to running but. I know God has a bigger plan for me other than just running. I’m just praying one of these days I can figure it out.
I have to confess, worry has led me down paths of deep and dark depression and anxiety. Stemming from worry about the future, career paths, finances, it gets messy letting that worry take over. I’ve tried calming it through attempting to consume nothing but self-help, “grinding mindset”, finance dave ramsey videos and radical financial videos, I’ve gone to so many other resources and people for comfort in an effort to control my life and my future, when I should’ve been going to the one who gave me life, and gives me air to breathe every second of the day. I’m still struggling with my identity and career choices and finances, and I ask for prayers for peace in those areas. I love you both Alex and Lokelani, y’all are such a blessing to the body, and God’s hand is over you two and your family. Many thanks and blessings from Texas❤️
lokelani shared such a real thing . i feel like many christians will send this verse around but when someone shares the true heart of it it hits different
Jesus came so that we could have life and have it abundantly. Thank you, guys, for this episode. It helped me further understand why we, as believers, shouldn't worry. I used to think that what Jesus did on the cross only applied to my soul being saved. Now I've understood that the salvation He accomplished on the cross was not just for the saving of my soul, but to also controls every aspect of my life. That's why I need not worry. His in control. I'm not alone in this, nor is my life, and the concerns( the highs/lows/desires) that come along with it are of my own capability. That's why we go and pray to him. That is why we channel our fears and worries into faith. He is in charge and has taken care of it all. Hallelujah! Praise be to our Lord for all the good work he is doing through your channel. May the Lord be with you always.
Honest I thank God I found your channel - I have be watching your podcasts back to back. Thank you for living in Gods purpose for your lives! It’s honestly a blessing!
Just my future definitely worry about what is going to happen in my future if I’ll have the life I desire if I’ll have kids just completely what lies ahead which I shouldn’t I should desire whatever god wants for me knowing he will only do what he sees is best for me thank you guys for being so submitted to the father ❤
I’m going to be vulnerable but I worry a lot about my walk with God. Not my salvation but like who God wants me to be and I look and worry about the what if I don’t end up how God wants me to be. And I’ve realized, that is me trying to control and take on the responsibility God never told me to take on. He’s the one that changes and molds me into who he wants me to be. Just like in the message of this video, I’m going to be honest that I’ve worried about being enough many times, and that’s when I need ti really focus and switch my perspective and look to Christ on the cross and his finished work, when I worry I’m discrediting his work on the cross just as the video said. Another thing that stood out to me was how Alex said the we are born sinful and with the wrong perspective. For example, Christ calls us to walk by faith not by sight. You wouldn’t hop in your car and drive it blindfolded would you? But as a Christian, we are told to drive that car blinded meaning walk be faith not by sight. How this goes back to what Alex said about how we are born with the wrong perspective, is the fact that as humans, it take a life long practice of training our thought to walk by faith not by sight, or not worry by looking at Christ and Gods creation! Thank you Amen Podcast for always putting a smile on my face. I truly see Christ shine through both of you and I thank God for you both! I pray the best for your family and a life full of joy and blessings!
Man, I really needed to hear this today. I have a “great job” but I’m completely dissatisfied and constantly worrying about the next thing, job or where we will live. Thanks for the reminders and as always your humble service.
God bless you guys 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 peace be with you Worrying about Money and worrying what others think of me wanting to keep up with what the world is doing. Just want to say thank you. That was very helpful amen
Oh my mind gets like that too a lot, Lokelani, so thank you for sharing. I know Matthew 6 so well and yet I worry… I’ve been taking care of my mother and younger siblings since I graduated college. It’s been 7 years and I often worry about finances even though God always makes a way.
I always worry about my future. I really want to build a family with the person I dearly love, I am afraid that I couldn't make it. But what you've shared remind me that God has the absolute control of everything and he will provide what I exactly need. Thanks to these lovely duo. Glory be to God! Amen.
Opened my Bible today and read this exact verse!😭😭 been worried about our finances and my kids so much and the future and God truly used you to speak to me today. God bless you and your ministry❤
What do I worry about? Accomplising my goals for my finances, my langaugs, my future as a 25 year old who has done a lot of traveling around the world. I want to continue to do all of those things and work hard. I have worried about those things even though I consistently read the bible and do devotionals.
i worry about my future, what school i should go to, if i can actually get into it, if i will be able to get a good paying job, my family, a lot of things.
I’m struggling with trusting God for a car to help me to get to school , I worry about moving cities next year to start my new school But if God can clothe the lilies , how much more for me ❤️
This truly hit me for the past year, I have been back to worrying. I am a 3 y.o surrendered Christian, I feel that I am back to the past me constantly worrying about everything. But thank you for this reminder that He is truly in control and that to live life is to unworry and to trust Him. I will praise and worship Him in all I do and worrying no more will be one of those=)
I worry about my salvation and my relationship with God, I feel like after I sin or if i've pray for guidence or something and I don't hear from God i feel like there is no relationship between me and God, that He doesn't want to talk to me because of my sins
Wow, guys. Thank God for his gift and grace that is revealed through you Guys. Can you guys preach on how to leave in this scary time? the end time is near.
off topic but i like the fact that even if they mumble or make mistakes with their words, they continue with recording. they don't excuse themselves because they know they aren't perfect. very unlike other people/youtubers
Ive been worried about my health but this video is so eye-opening to what God has been trying to show me. Thank you for being so open at the end🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾God bless you guys
im woried because im going to drop out in 2 monts but if i dont finish my final thesis, and i remember that i once take a break for 1 semster but still this not guaranteed that it will make me "save" but yeah. i think i have to not worreid and do the work
I’ve been worrying about my new job. Wondering if I’m truly equipped for it and if I’ll have the chance to keep it for as long as possible. Thank you for this message❤
needed this so much! i overthink alot as well and i am working on leaning on God more and trusting Him. especially the health part too my parents have alot of health issues for years and it is stressful but i pray that their healing happens with God 1st and they lean on Him and not on themselves cause it can be hard when you physically cant do everything you want to do .
This really helped me today! I’ve been struggling a bit lately, but God is doing some great things in me! Keep up the amazing work you guys are doing, and God bless you!
It’s about time I thank you guys. I can’t keep silent when I hear about the word of God and it moves me . We’re worlds apart but connected through a man named Jesus Christ from the same Bible. I journal a lot because when I read David’s psalms , I’m so moved that no one is good enough to write about the glory of God and his impacts. but a lot of my journals always begin when I have had thought provoking thoughts so whenever I watch your videos IM always inspired to journal about the way your message impacts me and how I can find God in my daily PRACTICAL life. Thank you 😊 🙏🏽 God bless
I always worry about my children and grandchildren salvation. I’m planting the seed. Will they continue when I die. I try to talk to my one daughter who has my grandchildren but she says mom I don’t push that on anyone. I think she believes but sometimes things don’t connect.
First of all, I don't know if you have done this before but I loved how the camera slowly zoomed in closer to you both during the entire 20 minutes. It's like we were invited to come closer throughout this message and become a part of it. Very well executed. Next, that part about the spilled pretzels really got me wondering about how much stuff in my life that I worry about would be a blessing to someone if it spilled over. For instance, I'm always worrying about what I want to wear when getting rid of half my clothes would be a huge blessing for someone that has none and make it easier for me to decide what to wear and appreciate what's left. It's like that principle of the overflow where we are supposed to use that abundance to bless others. When we try to hang on to that abundance as Zacchaeus did, it becomes a worry for us. Great message as always. Continue in humility and faithfulness.
I worry a lot about my career plans. I am not sure if I should stay in my current job or if I have to find a new opportunity. I am just cautious about making decisions since this will affect my walk with God.
When Lokelani said, "We discredit what Jesus did for us on the cross every time we worry," that really hit home. Thank you so much Alex and Lokelani for allowing God to use you and share all these teachings and your wisdom with us❤❤❤
Thank you guys for serving God the way you do because you have helped many including my self
Amen. Praise God for them.
I agree with this!
Amen 🙏🏽 my soul is blessed 🙌🏾
I worry about my finances/stability and my current upcoming custody battle. More so about his moms reaction as she can be ruthless with her tactics against me. I worry about that when I shouldn’t and trust God more in the situation. I have to trust Him more deeply, and be in His joy, knowing that all things work together.
Like Lokelani said, I worry a lot that I’m not doing enough, and it’s so refreshing to hear the reminder that we are enough through Christ! Thank you guys so much for these, they are such a massive help to believers everywhere!
As an individual going through a financial crisis this message is so timely, may God bless you all.
God bless you with his true and sovereign PEACE, while he provides and sustains you brother. Praying for Kesiyah!
@@jaimeandres8053 thank you so much brother and I am a lady btw😹 May God bless you
Amen
I’m been going through a little bit of financial worries too. But I have never gone hungry. The Lord will keep his people in famine.
@@Jah-Marii amen
This is perfect for me. I'm a worrier, all the time. I have anxiety about everything in life. I need to be much better about walking in trust with Him. 😞🙏❤️
Same 😢 I hope it’s better for u

Can't offer me anything because I have all I need. 🙌🏿
This was great timing in my life. I worry all the time. About my health, my family’s health, the future of my children, not being alive for them, not being able to grow my family etc.
& this spoke to me so deeply. I don’t want to worry, God has our lives planned out. Learning to trust him is definitely hard. But thank you for sharing and for that reminder 🙏🏽
Amen, thank u Lord father for the things u bless us with and for the things you take from us, for your glory. Gracias hermanos por la palabra ❤
i tend to worry about finances, clothes, they way i present myself, my relationship. But that just shows i’m operating in a place of understanding and not a place of peace.
This is one of my favorite scriptures. Every time I read or hear it, I get so much peace. Thanks for sharing the true LIVING Word.
it amazes me how God speaks the Gospel though each of these messages, connecting it when I don't even expect it, WOW all glory to Him

Thank you for sharing. I worried about resources. But, I am declaring God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory through Christ.

Honest I thank God I found your channel - I have be watching your podcasts back to back. Thank you for living in Gods purpose for your lives! It’s honestly a blessing!
Just my future definitely worry about what is going to happen in my future if I’ll have the life I desire if I’ll have kids just completely what lies ahead which I shouldn’t I should desire whatever god wants for me knowing he will only do what he sees is best for me thank you guys for being so submitted to the father ❤
I’m going to be vulnerable but I worry a lot about my walk with God. Not my salvation but like who God wants me to be and I look and worry about the what if I don’t end up how God wants me to be. And I’ve realized, that is me trying to control and take on the responsibility God never told me to take on. He’s the one that changes and molds me into who he wants me to be. Just like in the message of this video, I’m going to be honest that I’ve worried about being enough many times, and that’s when I need ti really focus and switch my perspective and look to Christ on the cross and his finished work, when I worry I’m discrediting his work on the cross just as the video said. Another thing that stood out to me was how Alex said the we are born sinful and with the wrong perspective. For example, Christ calls us to walk by faith not by sight. You wouldn’t hop in your car and drive it blindfolded would you? But as a Christian, we are told to drive that car blinded meaning walk be faith not by sight. How this goes back to what Alex said about how we are born with the wrong perspective, is the fact that as humans, it take a life long practice of training our thought to walk by faith not by sight, or not worry by looking at Christ and Gods creation!
Thank you Amen Podcast for always putting a smile on my face. I truly see Christ shine through both of you and I thank God for you both! I pray the best for your family and a life full of joy and blessings!
I worry about getting the money to pay my bills. I love your videos. God bless you both. 🙏

Worrying about Money and worrying what others think of me wanting to keep up with what the world is doing. Just want to say thank you. That was very helpful amen
Oh my mind gets like that too a lot, Lokelani, so thank you for sharing. I know Matthew 6 so well and yet I worry… I’ve been taking care of my mother and younger siblings since I graduated college. It’s been 7 years and I often worry about finances even though God always makes a way.
AMEN❤
I always worry about my future. I really want to build a family with the person I dearly love, I am afraid that I couldn't make it. But what you've shared remind me that God has the absolute control of everything and he will provide what I exactly need. Thanks to these lovely duo. Glory be to God! Amen.
Thank you. This is an amazing podcast. I learn this way and it helps me understand how to apply it in my daily life. Amen

What do I worry about?
Accomplising my goals for my finances, my langaugs, my future as a 25 year old who has done a lot of traveling around the world. I want to continue to do all of those things and work hard. I have worried about those things even though I consistently read the bible and do devotionals.
Thank you so much. May God bless your family and ministry ❤️🙏
Amen 🤍
i worry about my future, what school i should go to, if i can actually get into it, if i will be able to get a good paying job, my family, a lot of things.
I too worry about the future when troubles come up.
I’m struggling with trusting God for a car to help me to get to school , I worry about moving cities next year to start my new school
But if God can clothe the lilies , how much more for me ❤️
This truly hit me for the past year, I have been back to worrying. I am a 3 y.o surrendered Christian, I feel that I am back to the past me constantly worrying about everything. But thank you for this reminder that He is truly in control and that to live life is to unworry and to trust Him. I will praise and worship Him in all I do and worrying no more will be one of those=)
Thank you. Words from God's word. And the wisdom of our lord. I love my God.
I worry about my salvation and my relationship with God, I feel like after I sin or if i've pray for guidence or something and I don't hear from God i feel like there is no relationship between me and God, that He doesn't want to talk to me because of my sins
You guys are giving deeper convos, love it!
Wow, guys. Thank God for his gift and grace that is revealed through you Guys. Can you guys preach on how to leave in this scary time? the end time is near.
Glad god brought me to you today !!
off topic but i like the fact that even if they mumble or make mistakes with their words, they continue with recording. they don't excuse themselves because they know they aren't perfect. very unlike other people/youtubers
Ive been worried about my health but this video is so eye-opening to what God has been trying to show me. Thank you for being so open at the end🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾God bless you guys

Matthew 18:27
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
I’ve been worrying about my new job. Wondering if I’m truly equipped for it and if I’ll have the chance to keep it for as long as possible. Thank you for this message❤
I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened!
God bless you both,your family and ministry ❤ thank you so much for all you do🙏🏾
God bless you Mr and Mrs keep it going we love you
I worry about my health, esophagitis and ulcer
We all needed this video!!
you guys are amazing i can really see God working through you
Thank you for this reminder ^^
needed this so much! i overthink alot as well and i am working on leaning on God more and trusting Him. especially the health part too my parents have alot of health issues for years and it is stressful but i pray that their healing happens with God 1st and they lean on Him and not on themselves cause it can be hard when you physically cant do everything you want to do .
Loved this. Thank you.
Amen thank you so much for this episode. Praise Jesus
I have been really enjoying your guys podcasts and I love the teaching and it’s relatable ❤️
Amen! God bless you guys abundantly!
Jesus is Lord ❤
This really helped me today!
I’ve been struggling a bit lately, but God is doing some great things in me!
Keep up the amazing work you guys are doing, and God bless you!
It’s about time I thank you guys. I can’t keep silent when I hear about the word of God and it moves me . We’re worlds apart but connected through a man named Jesus Christ from the same Bible. I journal a lot because when I read David’s psalms , I’m so moved that no one is good enough to write about the glory of God and his impacts. but a lot of my journals always begin when I have had thought provoking thoughts so whenever I watch your videos IM always inspired to journal about the way your message impacts me and how I can find God in my daily PRACTICAL life. Thank you 😊 🙏🏽 God bless
Thanks!
New sub and ❤️ from 🇰🇪 Kenya 🙏🏾
Phenomenal
I have the same struggles and I love that you spoke on it- and it was so needed- can’t wait for second part- appreciate you guys ❤
Thank you so much for the message... all the way from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
I always worry about my children and grandchildren salvation. I’m planting the seed. Will they continue when I die. I try to talk to my one daughter who has my grandchildren but she says mom I don’t push that on anyone. I think she believes but sometimes things don’t connect.
Proverbs 28:22
He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
First of all, I don't know if you have done this before but I loved how the camera slowly zoomed in closer to you both during the entire 20 minutes. It's like we were invited to come closer throughout this message and become a part of it. Very well executed.
Next, that part about the spilled pretzels really got me wondering about how much stuff in my life that I worry about would be a blessing to someone if it spilled over. For instance, I'm always worrying about what I want to wear when getting rid of half my clothes would be a huge blessing for someone that has none and make it easier for me to decide what to wear and appreciate what's left. It's like that principle of the overflow where we are supposed to use that abundance to bless others. When we try to hang on to that abundance as Zacchaeus did, it becomes a worry for us. Great message as always. Continue in humility and faithfulness.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you🙏🏼
Thanks
aww i love you guys❤
what i worry about alot is not doing enough as a christian. I try not to let that side of my mind get to me but sometimes it just does
Praise God🔥
I worry a lot about my career plans. I am not sure if I should stay in my current job or if I have to find a new opportunity. I am just cautious about making decisions since this will affect my walk with God.
Love y’all
