As being teenager, there's lots of distraction in this world, and it's hard to be consistent with God and to walk with God. Thankyou for this video. Wisdom right here! 🗣
Yes it is I’m 15 and the distraction and spiritual warfare is realll!!!!😭❤️but God got us and he has a plan for us and he sees us and he lifts us up and saves us❤️❤️
If I could give you some advice, scale down your time on the phone...especially social media. It provides too many distractions and the things of this world. I pray protection and the Blood of Jesus over you.
Yes me to, just seing this now as 13 year old. I always wonder am I doing the right thing am I making God happy does he know Im trying. I no longer have to worry about all these questions. I can just pray and ask him
The biggest advice Is,just spending less time on your phone(I struggle with this even tho I’ve deleted social media I still find my self sometimes catch my self scrolling through TH-cam) taking care of our self working on that mental( I picked up meditation whether it be meditating on a scripture or just breath work I finds calm me down, reduces anxiety stress doubt, and when I go to pray the voices in my head are quite and I feel more I touch) I also suggest a lot of people to read James chapter one fully it talks about trials and being patient and persistent and you will be rewarded as long as you have no doubt in god or yourself) sorry it’s so long you have a blessed day
What I did was distance myself from some people and some things that would tempt me. I however enjoy social media so I only follow people who help me in my walk with God, (self care, worship, cleaning, productive influencers. Also in school just learn to display yourself as a Christian, that way people won’t try to temp you because they know the type of person you are.
@@deeschoe1245 nah man, God has done so much in my life already. I hated who i was, faking a personality to please the world, but these “fairy tails” really show me God loves me for who i am.
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and he rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! ✝️🙏🏼⛪️ And also, He doesn’t want you to go to Hell but he wants you to go to Heaven with him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins. 2. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that he rose again from the dead 3 days later. 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus and Live for Him Forever. I’m Praying for you!
I’m 19 and I’m currently struggling with depression and loneliness. At times, I do contemplate my walk with God because I struggle accepting how lonely it gets and I feel like I missed out on my teen years and having “fun”, and it’s like in this generation, if you too “churchy” ppl think your lame because u can’t do certain things. My siblings also make fun of me for liking church even tho we all grew up as pks. I just so happen to be the only one that found God for myself. I’m just praying that my faith will go back up because I’ve been so down lately and it’s been so hard.
My family kinda made fun of me when I was going to church. But they need Jesus. I pray your faith will be increased even more now growing in Jesus Christ amen!
You won’t regret it. Who cares what they say, justice will be served in the end. This a narrow path with a great reward. I hope that you find kingdom friendships that help you fall in love with God and bring you that heavenly joy. I’m 17 and I don’t plan on ever going back. It’s hard at first but once you see how good God is you will have joy
@@nahom4062James 1:2-3 “consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever enduring trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” During times like these, we are not alone, our pain will not go unaccounted for, there will be times when our faith will be tested but we just have to ask God for His everlasting love and peace to keep going!
I see a lot of teenagers in the comments. I recently was saved 10 months ago and since then god has completely changed me and my life. I’m 15, and he found me at my lowest. I’m so grateful we serve a good god he will bring us through it all.
literally i was worried about prayer before reading this but seeing your post about how God likes us and the reminder to pray with Him brightened me up thank you!!!
The Holy Spirit will give you the words to say or will pray for you with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). Don't be discouraged sister, God bless!
My biggest struggles were caused by my own actions. When I give a sin up but try to grab back ahold of it to sneak it back in my life was my issue and then I wouldn't hunger for Thr Word of God. Once I gave up my sins/ stop planning to go into sin I noticed a great hunger and thirst to read The Word of God and study daily. This year has been a full on Born Again expirence and I've was struggling with my walk for 4 years since I gave my life but then I tried to hang on to a couple sinful acts until 4 months ago. Praise God for loving us first and for giving us the only direction to His solid foundation Amen 🙏🙌
This is so true because I cried out to God for help, I admitted in prayer I was trying but I was the problem and its like I had a image of me carrying a arm full of items while trying to pick up something for God. It's like I understood I have to let go of my own desires to carry His desires. Amen and I do pray consistently now and last week I hurt myself playing basketball but I instantly went into prayer inwhich gave me a peaceful mindset even while my ankle was swelling and knowing I had a motorcycle to ride 80 miles to get home.
As someone who struggles a lot with anxiety and consistent self criticism, this helps. I am reminded of a quote that says “understanding that every moment in my life is an opportunity from God to become more like Christ, cured a lot of my anxieties” thank you brother
Really helped!! I need to start praying with God more! I need to prioritize him more and say no to flesh, I want to start praying like Jesus did!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼✝️🥹
This was me this week! Thank you so much Alex for sharing. It's interesting to note that Jesus said pray so that you don't FALL into temptation. Cos It's harder to pray in the midst of temptation. Been struggling with my mind for many years and it gets so dark sometimes, I don't even remember to pray. But it's like a chain. Once the link is broken, darkness sets in. But if we pray heartfelt, fervent, honest, vulnerable prayers daily, it keeps the link strong enough to keep the darkness away and keep us standing. God bless you Alex.
All glory to God. I’m going through the exact situation to the T with the children and parenting . And it’s so special how God can use somebody to let you know you’re not alone. And not only that but give you the keys to succeed through the various trials there’s no God greater ! Lord there’s no God like you. Amen🙏🏾
This is such a beautiful video. Thank you alex to you and your beautiful family. May you continue to abide in Christ. I receive this message with all my soul. It’s in his precious name I pray. Amen ♥️✝️🙏🏼

@@bluecurtains6899 why be shocked???....your god knows your every thought....so he told Alex to make this video just for you because your god knew you were struggling...god just couldn't communicate it to you directly because you weren't special enough like Alex to receive the message....not saying He doesn't love his children equally but sometimes just not equally...know what I'm saying?....god loves you too He told me directly to tell you...direct line....I got it like that!
one thing i am really learning right now is that prayer is actually one of the ways we can deny our flesh. 🙏🏻 it is so hard for me too to stay consistent in my prayer life, but i keep reminding myself how necessary it is to die little deaths each day for me to experience God in every moment of my life, and that includes praying even though i don't want to. it is so difficult that i cannot rely to anyone but the Holy Spirit. 🙏🏻
Hi Carlos, may GOD bless you. Read the bible, it is GODs word. I'm not telling you this just so I am right, but so that you might bypass a lot of hard times. Catholicism isn't in the bible and GOD says we shall not pray to the dead. There is only one adversary and that is Jesus Christ GOD says in 1. Thimothy 2:5. You don't need to confess your sin to a priest, but to GOD and actually turn from it to be saved. There is a lot more GOD says that the catholic church does, I plead with you to follow Jesus and not the church. I hope you think about this brother, i am not saying you should believe something irrational that didn't come from GOD, I am saying to follow Jesus who is GOD and read what he says not what i do.
@@jesuschristusrettetallein4205 I hope you not wasting your time.. they love that FALSE RCC doctrine. Especially that Mass and genuflecting They serve another god and Jesus. It is a CULT
@@jesuschristusrettetallein4205 instead of judging, why not get to know what he believes about Jesus. Catholic Church believes In the trinity and the true doctrinal Christian foundation beliefs. Sure the church does things very differently but just because it’s different from Protestantism doesn’t make them a cult. Careful with that
@@jesuschristusrettetallein4205 thank you for your concern. If YOU are serious about holy scripture, then let’s talk about it. The Bible IS a Catholic document. It was introduced by Pope St. Damasus in the year 382ad. The canon was put together by the Church and approved by the Pope. A Catholic priest (Martin Luther) became the first Pope of the Protestant church. What he said to his followers went! After that anybody who could read thought they knew more than the (one holy Catholic Church) and anyone who is not Catholic today, falls in line with Protestantism and thinks they can correct people who have not left the church to follow MEN! Your church at best is 500 years young. Can you name me one person from your church that lived in the 11th century? 1 Tim 3:15 if you have a problem (disagreement) tell it to the church Martin Luther didn’t do this, he thought he could just start HIS own church and you think this is okay. There is one true church. Either the Catholic church started by Jesus Christ. Or all of Protestantism as one church started by MEN.
This was conformation for me. My family and I have been reading Daniel this week, my fiance and I got into a discussion last night of Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane. Thank you Lord for your presence and your spirit working in our lives. Thank you for Alex and his wife's ministry, thank you for the mountains you are moving and the valleys you are seeing us threw. In your powerful name, Amen.
this video goes well with the video I just watched. Skip Heitzig Psalm 1. 1. Separating oneself from sin 2. Delight in God's word 3. the benefits will follow
Last month i was really struggling with anxiety. Everyday my fears took control my thoughts. The whole month i was struggling, i’d break out into tears, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t do normal activities. It was nightmare. Before that i started praying everyday and every-night. It was simple. There were some really bad days were i was shaking crying and so much worry. What if this what if that. I would pray for calming. Id put on gospel music. It helps. This one day I had a worse day with anxiety. I was so weak and tried. I prayed like begging, i was on my knees almost, crying out to him,repeatedly. Eventually The rest of my day was peaceful. I thanked so much. For a moment for a break of peacefulness it felt amazing. I prayed a lot everyday and as the month started wrapping up. I was ok. I was back to normal. I felt so thankful because without him id be a mess. I love him. I think this month made me closer with him. Sometimes i do crack, i need to remember all the good things he has done for us.
I just wanna say my husband and son and I love u guys so much brother!!! This video helped so much and we can't wait to meet u guys in heaven we are in Alabama. Just wanted to let u know u guys are loved. Stay with God... God Bless ❤✝🛐🙏🏽🙌
I know it sounds bad but thank you that the message is short and direct. I'm a personal trainer and between clients it's the perfect length of time to listen to these. It's been helping me with my walk 🙏 your temperament is perfect for teaching You can see it is done with love ❤️
I needed to hear this so much right now. I’ve been struggling mentally and spiritually for quite a while. Today is especially hard for some reason. So I really needed to see and hear this.
If you think you have narcissistic tendencies just pray and ask the Lord to look inside you and remove anything that doesn’t please Him. If you really do then the Bible says to confess our sins to each other and pray for each other so tell your wife and children you’re struggling and sit and pray together. He will heal you and your children will get to see the Lord work in you and your family and increase your families faith.
Thank you brother Alex. It’s been a long road and I’ve been distracted for a long time. I’ve walked away and turned my back away from God as I wanted to live in my own flesh. But recently I’ve been feeling the crushing weight of my sins through my anxiety that’s returned stronger than ever and I realized that this is happening because I’ve been distant. I haven’t had my peace with God like I should. But recently as I have been trying to restore my relationship and become the obedient servant as I should I stumbled across this video and a couple of others and I want to thank you for helping realize I can strengthen my bond with God and your videos have been a great service in aiding with that. I want to thank you for truly doing Gods work and helping those who might be struggling balancing their lives out with Christ and helping others build stronger bonds with Christ through your videos. May you and your family be blessed
God bless you brother and your beautiful family. Sending love and prayers. I also have two boys 9 and 8. And it's a constant learning experience. I appreciate your content, your honesty and your ability to touch so many sensitive subjects. You are a blessing and you are appreciated. Keep up the great work. Thanks again.
Thank you Alex...our Lord sent you today to speak to my heart ..You are a special Gift...always come to meet with you on your videos..always encouraged God Bless You and your beautiful family !💕💞
Im struggling in my faith right now sometimes when I try to have faith it feels like there an emotional wall but I need to remeb3r letting go mentally and letting God take control is having faith I have a hard time not overthinking. Ty for the video!
Really thankful for this. Consistency is such a big theme in my walk with God right now. Lately, everything has been about intensity with me. But through some intense suffering and anguish more recently, I've been hearing God whisper more and more: Grow into who I meant you to be through consistently seeking me with all your heart. I so appreciate you, Alex. My wife and I have four kids, I serve as a pastor, and we have a podcast too. I really appreciate your humility, and your willingness to talk about real stuff.
I love you’re content, I wish people would talk like this more often because it would help Christian’s come together and be relatable. It would be amazing if people would have conversations like this video to acknowledge God. I’m 18 and I have been struggling with my walk with God, things like anger, envy, anxiety, and drugs sometimes get to me, but I want to know if you have any tips for what I should do?
God works in so many mysterious ways and every time he does it shows me how real he is. This morning, I was praying to God about this exact thing, telling him how disappointed I was with myself about the motivation I’ve lost for him. About 15 minutes later, this video pops up in my recommendations.
Prayer! Pray for dedication. Pray for strength. Pray while in the battle. Pray while in the blessing. If you want consistency then pray for it. God will not deny us.
Thank you so much for this, i needed it because these days I feel like am bot very close to God, there are so many distractions, always something to get done, school, work, social life etc. I realize that these things are good but God comes first so I want to be more into scripture and pray with intention instead of just doing it.
The most difficult part is when we are lured and enticed by our own flesh is when it becomes tough to pray and spend time alone with God. Spot on brother, I appreciate this, subscribed 👍🏻

This popped up on my feed, and I've been watching your videos recently. The irony is that the same verse from Romans, when Peter talks about spiritual desire versus following a different path in the flesh, is what our sermon on righteousness entailed today. Peter knew he wanted to do what was right with God, even though he didn't. It's a sign that the spirit lives in you, or else you wouldn't think what your doing or you might potentially do was a problem. I've been struggling with the same problem, even though I try not to do it and it bothers me when I slip up, I needed the confirmation of knowing just that little bit of spiritual relation was there. Obviously, this message is something God wants me to hear, as he keeps sending it my way. Thank you for your work.
Alex I love that you practice what you preach and you not a motivational Christian who just speaks of the positive side of Christianity . I love that you are authentic.💥💥💥💥
For the last week I’ve seen this video in my recommended. Every single time I got on TH-cam which is a lot, I always see this video. Might as well watch it. (Edit) really enjoyed this and I’m glad I finally clicked on it.
Prayer is something that has been hitting me today. I’ve seen multiple videos today alone that ended up going deep on the topic of prayer. I think God is trying to say something
Pray for me please. I was on fire for God and still am really but im really going through it i feel like seems like im tormented at times i believe God for relief
When I get anxious or stressed, I scroll through my phone. This causes me to intake more secular content than God’s word, sometimes reading the bible can make me more anxious. I may pray and read His word but then I consume this secular content my mind is meditating about worldly things. God says to guard our hearts for everything flows from it, so if I do not guard my heart from secular content even if it doesn’t have cuss words or inappropriate images, my mind is still not on the word of God and then I get comfortable with sin. What helps me to stay consistent is to think about Him throughout the day.
This video is such a blessing to me because recently I have been needing and praying for help in being consistent. It seems as though God has answered my prayers through you. thank you :)

Thank you Alex for sharing. Indeed we need to keep on looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. We are renewed daily so that we offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.Being a Christian is a way of living. Life can present ups and downs, sometimes you don't feel like reading the word or praying, but relying on his power will see us through. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Thanks for sharing.
I watched this video when it first came out and it helped me so much... And now I'm back looking for advice because I'm off the wagon again. 🥴 So grateful God is gracious
I prayed today asking for answers, i need to start listing what makes God happy and follow that. And this video recommended too. the doubt tells me it's just the phone/yt listening recommending but the faith tells me God used your video to answer me..
I want to add that spiritual victory is not striving harder, but resting on the truths of our purchased freedom; failure is a result of an attempt to 'overcome the flesh with willpower', when we can put our faith instead in the complete work of Christ: that the flesh is dead. As for Paul - he pens that obediance is produced through faith, and when he writes of his conflict with morality: this was his description of life under the authority of the law (effectively, religion) - not a description of his present life recieved by grace. God bless you, I took from this also that consistency with God flows from a place of intamacy with Him (Abba, Father).
As being teenager, there's lots of distraction in this world, and it's hard to be consistent with God and to walk with God. Thankyou for this video. Wisdom right here! 🗣

And also, He doesn’t want you to go to Hell but he wants you to go to Heaven with him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins.
2. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that he rose again from the dead 3 days later.
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus and Live for Him Forever.
I’m Praying for you!
Honestly same, I was praying to God about this and not long after I saw this video. I was so shocked
@@bluecurtains6899 why be shocked???....your god knows your every thought....so he told Alex to make this video just for you because your god knew you were struggling...god just couldn't communicate it to you directly because you weren't special enough like Alex to receive the message....not saying He doesn't love his children equally but sometimes just not equally...know what I'm saying?....god loves you too He told me directly to tell you...direct line....I got it like that!
one thing i am really learning right now is that prayer is actually one of the ways we can deny our flesh. 🙏🏻 it is so hard for me too to stay consistent in my prayer life, but i keep reminding myself how necessary it is to die little deaths each day for me to experience God in every moment of my life, and that includes praying even though i don't want to. it is so difficult that i cannot rely to anyone but the Holy Spirit. 🙏🏻
anw, thank you so much for this!! am so blessed with this video ❤️
This is insane. This is basically my story. Except I moved away from California in 10th grade but this is mind boggling. Good video man!
1 Pray every day
2 Mass once a week
3 Confession monthly
4 Take a ministry
This is how to stay faithful.
Keep the love and peace.
Hi Carlos, may GOD bless you. Read the bible, it is GODs word. I'm not telling you this just so I am right, but so that you might bypass a lot of hard times. Catholicism isn't in the bible and GOD says we shall not pray to the dead. There is only one adversary and that is Jesus Christ GOD says in 1. Thimothy 2:5. You don't need to confess your sin to a priest, but to GOD and actually turn from it to be saved. There is a lot more GOD says that the catholic church does, I plead with you to follow Jesus and not the church. I hope you think about this brother, i am not saying you should believe something irrational that didn't come from GOD, I am saying to follow Jesus who is GOD and read what he says not what i do.
@@jesuschristusrettetallein4205 I hope you not wasting your time.. they love that FALSE RCC doctrine. Especially that Mass and genuflecting
They serve another god and Jesus. It is a CULT
@@jesuschristusrettetallein4205 instead of judging, why not get to know what he believes about Jesus. Catholic Church believes In the trinity and the true doctrinal Christian foundation beliefs. Sure the church does things very differently but just because it’s different from Protestantism doesn’t make them a cult. Careful with that
@@jesuschristusrettetallein4205 thank you for your concern. If YOU are serious about holy scripture, then let’s talk about it. The Bible IS a Catholic document. It was introduced by Pope St. Damasus in the year 382ad. The canon was put together by the Church and approved by the Pope. A Catholic priest (Martin Luther) became the first Pope of the Protestant church. What he said to his followers went! After that anybody who could read thought they knew more than the (one holy Catholic Church) and anyone who is not Catholic today, falls in line with Protestantism and thinks they can correct people who have not left the church to follow MEN! Your church at best is 500 years young. Can you name me one person from your church that lived in the 11th century?
1 Tim 3:15 if you have a problem (disagreement) tell it to the church Martin Luther didn’t do this, he thought he could just start HIS own church and you think this is okay.
There is one true church. Either the Catholic church started by Jesus Christ. Or all of Protestantism as one church started by MEN.
This was conformation for me. My family and I have been reading Daniel this week, my fiance and I got into a discussion last night of Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane. Thank you Lord for your presence and your spirit working in our lives. Thank you for Alex and his wife's ministry, thank you for the mountains you are moving and the valleys you are seeing us threw. In your powerful name, Amen.
Amen!!🙏🏼
Amen to Abba, our daddy!
THANK YOU GOD THIS IS GREAT NEWS
this video goes well with the video I just watched.
Skip Heitzig Psalm 1.
1. Separating oneself from sin
2. Delight in God's word
3. the benefits will follow
Last month i was really struggling with anxiety. Everyday my fears took control my thoughts. The whole month i was struggling, i’d break out into tears, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t do normal activities. It was nightmare. Before that i started praying everyday and every-night. It was simple. There were some really bad days were i was shaking crying and so much worry. What if this what if that. I would pray for calming. Id put on gospel music. It helps. This one day I had a worse day with anxiety. I was so weak and tried. I prayed like begging, i was on my knees almost, crying out to him,repeatedly. Eventually The rest of my day was peaceful. I thanked so much. For a moment for a break of peacefulness it felt amazing. I prayed a lot everyday and as the month started wrapping up. I was ok. I was back to normal. I felt so thankful because without him id be a mess. I love him. I think this month made me closer with him. Sometimes i do crack, i need to remember all the good things he has done for us.
I just wanna say my husband and son and I love u guys so much brother!!! This video helped so much and we can't wait to meet u guys in heaven we are in Alabama. Just wanted to let u know u guys are loved. Stay with God... God Bless ❤✝🛐🙏🏽🙌
Thanks for this message! I definitely need to do what you said and take time each day to escape and pray to God. ❤
I know it sounds bad but thank you that the message is short and direct. I'm a personal trainer and between clients it's the perfect length of time to listen to these. It's been helping me with my walk 🙏 your temperament is perfect for teaching You can see it is done with love ❤️
Pray without ceasing
Thank you, brother. For such a great job and faith.
In Jesus name, God bless you,
AMEN🙏
I needed to hear this so much right now. I’ve been struggling mentally and spiritually for quite a while. Today is especially hard for some reason. So I really needed to see and hear this.
Amen I just prayed to be closer to the lord
God Bless🙏
If you think you have narcissistic tendencies just pray and ask the Lord to look inside you and remove anything that doesn’t please Him. If you really do then the Bible says to confess our sins to each other and pray for each other so tell your wife and children you’re struggling and sit and pray together. He will heal you and your children will get to see the Lord work in you and your family and increase your families faith.
Thank you brother Alex. It’s been a long road and I’ve been distracted for a long time. I’ve walked away and turned my back away from God as I wanted to live in my own flesh. But recently I’ve been feeling the crushing weight of my sins through my anxiety that’s returned stronger than ever and I realized that this is happening because I’ve been distant. I haven’t had my peace with God like I should. But recently as I have been trying to restore my relationship and become the obedient servant as I should I stumbled across this video and a couple of others and I want to thank you for helping realize I can strengthen my bond with God and your videos have been a great service in aiding with that. I want to thank you for truly doing Gods work and helping those who might be struggling balancing their lives out with Christ and helping others build stronger bonds with Christ through your videos. May you and your family be blessed
God bless you brother and your beautiful family. Sending love and prayers. I also have two boys 9 and 8. And it's a constant learning experience. I appreciate your content, your honesty and your ability to touch so many sensitive subjects. You are a blessing and you are appreciated. Keep up the great work. Thanks again.
aww bless you aj!! i hope these give you peace and courage!
@@amenalex More than you could ever imagine. 😇🙏🏾
I need to find another way to pray to him and your helping me with different way and better way to pray thank you 🙏❤️❤️
11:50 Amen.
Jesus is amazing ❤🙌
Thank you Alex...our Lord sent you today to speak to my heart ..You are a special Gift...always come to meet with you on your videos..always encouraged
God Bless You and your beautiful family !💕💞
Im struggling in my faith right now sometimes when I try to have faith it feels like there an emotional wall but I need to remeb3r letting go mentally and letting God take control is having faith I have a hard time not overthinking. Ty for the video!
Really thankful for this. Consistency is such a big theme in my walk with God right now. Lately, everything has been about intensity with me. But through some intense suffering and anguish more recently, I've been hearing God whisper more and more: Grow into who I meant you to be through consistently seeking me with all your heart.
I so appreciate you, Alex. My wife and I have four kids, I serve as a pastor, and we have a podcast too. I really appreciate your humility, and your willingness to talk about real stuff.
thank you thank you brother, love being part of the family
You post such relatable content and remind me so much of myself. Praise God for how he's using you to encourage the body of Christ.Keep going brother!
AMEN
Like a thorn in the side, it reminds us of our weaknesses.
For when we are weak, we are strong in Christ Jesus.
Amen
I love you’re content, I wish people would talk like this more often because it would help Christian’s come together and be relatable. It would be amazing if people would have conversations like this video to acknowledge God. I’m 18 and I have been struggling with my walk with God, things like anger, envy, anxiety, and drugs sometimes get to me, but I want to know if you have any tips for what I should do?
God works in so many mysterious ways and every time he does it shows me how real he is. This morning, I was praying to God about this exact thing, telling him how disappointed I was with myself about the motivation I’ve lost for him. About 15 minutes later, this video pops up in my recommendations.
Amen!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!God bless you for the encouragement!
Amen 🙏🏻
Prayer! Pray for dedication. Pray for strength. Pray while in the battle. Pray while in the blessing. If you want consistency then pray for it. God will not deny us.
AMEN!
Hi god bless have a good one.
I believe The Lord's Prayer is both; both an example and something we should pray everyday, but not just recite it to recite it.
This really helped me thank you lord thank you for your Chanel ✝️🗣❤️
Thank you so much for this, i needed it because these days I feel like am bot very close to God, there are so many distractions, always something to get done, school, work, social life etc. I realize that these things are good but God comes first so I want to be more into scripture and pray with intention instead of just doing it.
The most difficult part is when we are lured and enticed by our own flesh is when it becomes tough to pray and spend time alone with God. Spot on brother, I appreciate this, subscribed 👍🏻
Amen ❕❗️‼️
Amen, thank you for your transparency. Going through similar things and I thank God for you and your family and your ministry. 🙏🏽

This popped up on my feed, and I've been watching your videos recently. The irony is that the same verse from Romans, when Peter talks about spiritual desire versus following a different path in the flesh, is what our sermon on righteousness entailed today. Peter knew he wanted to do what was right with God, even though he didn't. It's a sign that the spirit lives in you, or else you wouldn't think what your doing or you might potentially do was a problem. I've been struggling with the same problem, even though I try not to do it and it bothers me when I slip up, I needed the confirmation of knowing just that little bit of spiritual relation was there. Obviously, this message is something God wants me to hear, as he keeps sending it my way. Thank you for your work.
Alex thank you for your vulnerability and openness, this is so encouraging and REAL
Alex I love that you practice what you preach and you not a motivational Christian who just speaks of the positive side of Christianity . I love that you are authentic.💥💥💥💥
Amen 🦋
Thank you for teaching the way you do. Appreciate the sinplicity but straight from the Word.
Thank you for all your time and words.
For the last week I’ve seen this video in my recommended. Every single time I got on TH-cam which is a lot, I always see this video. Might as well watch it. (Edit) really enjoyed this and I’m glad I finally clicked on it.
Prayer is something that has been hitting me today. I’ve seen multiple videos today alone that ended up going deep on the topic of prayer. I think God is trying to say something
Pray for me please. I was on fire for God and still am really but im really going through it i feel like seems like im tormented at times i believe God for relief
God is great
When I get anxious or stressed, I scroll through my phone. This causes me to intake more secular content than God’s word, sometimes reading the bible can make me more anxious. I may pray and read His word but then I consume this secular content my mind is meditating about worldly things. God says to guard our hearts for everything flows from it, so if I do not guard my heart from secular content even if it doesn’t have cuss words or inappropriate images, my mind is still not on the word of God and then I get comfortable with sin. What helps me to stay consistent is to think about Him throughout the day.
I need GOD , we need GOD and HE is always there for us, thank YOU LORD❤🙌
This video is such a blessing to me because recently I have been needing and praying for help in being consistent. It seems as though God has answered my prayers through you. thank you :)

PERFECT TIMING; when the student is ready the lessons/answers will come.
Thank you for this message! Glory be to God! Praise the Lord!!!!
Thank you Alex for sharing. Indeed we need to keep on looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. We are renewed daily so that we offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.Being a Christian is a way of living. Life can present ups and downs, sometimes you don't feel like reading the word or praying, but relying on his power will see us through. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Thanks for sharing.
I watched this video when it first came out and it helped me so much... And now I'm back looking for advice because I'm off the wagon again. 🥴 So grateful God is gracious
GODDDD IS KINGGGG
I just love your videos. And the amen from one of your kids in the end is just so special. God bless 🙏✝️❤️
Thank you!!! Please keep doing these 🙏🏾
I needed to hear this badly. Thank you so much. God bless you & your family 🥰
I prayed today asking for answers, i need to start listing what makes God happy and follow that. And this video recommended too. the doubt tells me it's just the phone/yt listening recommending but the faith tells me God used your video to answer me..
God bless you all and May God's Spirit be with you all Amen 🙏❤️✝️😇🙌👼👑🕊️
I want to add that spiritual victory is not striving harder, but resting on the truths of our purchased freedom; failure is a result of an attempt to 'overcome the flesh with willpower', when we can put our faith instead in the complete work of Christ: that the flesh is dead. As for Paul - he pens that obediance is produced through faith, and when he writes of his conflict with morality: this was his description of life under the authority of the law (effectively, religion) - not a description of his present life recieved by grace. God bless you, I took from this also that consistency with God flows from a place of intamacy with Him (Abba, Father).
This testimony is Powerful. Thank you Jesus!
This helps a lot as a teen I need to spend more time in his word and prayer I do it but not Enough
God bless ❤
Thank you so much sir, Blessings to you and your family
BIG AMEN
Great video! Thank you🙏✝️❤️
Im 11 and trying to get to god more
