- Are you struggling with doubt? Do you notice that at times you don't have as much faith as you want to have? I've been there. And so have Jesus' disciples. I used to feel ashamed of this but I came across a verse in Matthew that flipped that shame on it's head. God is in the unbelief, God is the doubt, God is in the worry and He is using it all. enjoy!!!

Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my TH-cam channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, and a new mom through weekly new videos!
your unbelief is opening doors, how every christian should handle doubt, faith and doubt, how god is using your unbelief, the unexpected way god is using your doubt, your unbelief is opening doors, how every christian should handle doubt, faith and doubt, how god is using your unbelief, the unexpected way god is using your doubt, doubting god, doubting jesus, doubting faith
We were struggling to pay our rent this month and we felt fear and worry taking over. But I laid in bed last night and just simply talked to God about my fears and I asked Him for help. The next morning we had a miracle and we were able to pay our rent. Thank you, Lord. 🙏❤️
I am so happy to learn how God blessed you 🥹 this is such a beautiful testimony ! I understand how stressful and anxious you felt and God responded to your prayer 🙏🏿 He’s so good I cannot contain my happiness and gratitude to the Lord because of your testimony 🥹😁
@@jeredi3376 Thank you! ❤️ He’s a good, good Father! He loves us so much. God bless you, friend!❤️
This is beautiful and encouraging
I love testimony plus your wildness to share because i am going through same thing. I was scared to say out loud because of Spiritual wickedness in high places. I am glad of your financial blessing.
Thank you for sharing !!!

Underrated comment forsureeee😭😭😭❤️🔥❤️🔥needed this thank u
I’m currently in a season where I am struggling. Struggling to not focus on my current problems that are facing me but to focus on God because He’s there. The minute I feel like okay cool…God got me. My thoughts come back to creep back in and tell me I’m sinking. So it’s a consistent thing to remind myself of His unchanging hand and that he’s here …He hears my cry.
Thank you!
I feel you a 100%!! I can‘t stop worrying - I keep circling back to it even though I trust him.
U literally just described me this past week
Same sis! God got us tho🙌🏾
God is with you 💗
i relate to this so much. praying that God will strengthen you through this time of growth! it's painful but it all works for our good in the end. we've just got to hold on and keep reminding ourselves that even in our fear and doubt the Lord is always near ❤God bless you sis!
One of the most recent times that I felt god has forgotten me was waiting for a new job. After acting like a spoiled brat complaining, I recentered myself and reminded myself that I am the daughter of king Jesus! And his word says he’s an on time god! And he blessed me with a job I couldn’t even imagine having! God is great

Thats beautiful ❤
Isn’t it crazy how God works y’all? Like we all seem to have needed this. We all seem to have been struggling and came across this to get that push we need to stay focused. God bless and thank you girl for this post
We are in a fallen world where sin exists in us. So it is a daily battle to fight our old man (sin) with the new man (righteous). Ev,eryday day we have to pray and fight, the good fight of faith.😃
❤
God is amazing ❤
th-cam.com/users/shortsrkv3XKR10fc?si=NHqlZJs3QP2WltuR
this came at the right time oh my goodness
praise God. i knew it was for someone. i pray it continues to encourage you sis!!
Facts 😳….GOD I see you 😌🙏🏽😌
Amen. ❤🙏🏾
This was right on time, I can relate so much I am in a waiting season and have dealt with doubt and unbelief. Thank you so much!!! This will definitely help me.❤
What she said !!!
I feel far from God after I fall into sin. It’s like I know I made a mistake and did wrong so I feel ashamed to even go to Him . I prolong the process by waiting because of my shame and every time I go back to God He is there waiting . Whoever’s reading this , NOTHING can separate you from the love of the Lord! Any time you fall, get right back up because I promise God is waiting for you with open arms ❤️
Wow, I felt this a lot!
For when you feel not clean enough to go to God:
“Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way but did not sin.
Let us have confidence, then, and approach God’s throne, where there is Grace. There, we will receive Mercy and find Grace to help us just when we need it” - Hebrews 4:15-16.
Yes amen!!! 👏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I am believing for a permanent job and I constantly find myself anxious and worried and scared about my future, at times I get to think if there’s anything that I was supposed to do but I haven’t done but the answer is really just, I have done everything I am supposed to do, I have the necessary qualifications and skills and all that and all I need is that one touch of God’s favor. Please pray for me🙏🏽.
In a similar situation! Praying for you. With God’s favor… you got this sis!

How r u
alrightys, sis! it's been 2 weeks so we are long overdue for a chat ♥️ today's question is: when have you felt far from God and what did you do to remind yourself that He was truly right there with you?!
for me: during my 9 months of pregnancy, I felt extremely far from God. and i felt so ashamed about it because i was going through this miraculous thing of growing a human in my belly yet I struggled to feel His presence through the many challenges the 9 months entailed. What I did to remind myself that He was right there despite me feeling like He was far was to sharing opening with trusted friends how i was feeling and ask for their prayer and also to keep reading the Word and "show up" in a sense. the more i entered into His presence via the Word, watching a sermon, listening to worship music, the more encouraged I would feel.
I feel far right now went back to some old ways but im repenting trying to get to a new place with God
I went far away from God when I started focusing a lot on my X and thought he is all I have in my life and blindly followed him. After years I realized that nothing good happening and things getting worse. Then made up my mind to take my sword (MY BIBLE) and started reading and could literally see all unwanted things removed from my life. Now I have surrendered my entire life unto him and as said by him,
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
God is Good! Amen!!
Recently, struggling to fast. God reminded me through scripture Luke 15. That even when I stray he’ll never abandoned me. Also he has allowed me to remember that’s he pulled me from sin & back then I wanted to sin. Soo now just simply getting me back on track want my will against his it was getting the strength to stand up again.
Struggling with a certain sin made me feel far from god... the devil definitely used it to try to attack me with the demonic spirits of guilt and shame etc... but the thing that helps the most it's when the Holy Spirit convicts me so that I can overcome my sin... and to remember that I have been given Authority in the mighty name of Jesus to crush the heads of serpents and scorpions and so I start Warfare praying and decreeing and declaring in Jesus name... thanks for this video
One moment I felt far from God was actually on the latter half of my mission trip. I was doing a lot for God and seeing miracles in the flesh, but I was stressed about all of the things I had to take care of once I made it back home:
- Paying Rent
- Moving Out
- Getting a new job
- Continuing to build my business after pretty much a month content hiatus
I felt so ashamed that I was struggling with my relationship with God on a mission trip. The last couple days were rough for me, but coming back I started to fight for my relationship with God by just telling him how I honestly felt and what I wanted. Additionally, by reading scriptures about his promises and meditating on them. Since then, God has just been reaching out to me through videos like this and scripture letting me know that he’s here with me; that he sees me. So, I trust that everything will work out even though I haven’t seen any miracles just yet
WOW...I usually don't leave comments but this was for me! I've been wavering in my faith on something I believe God told me He'd do for me & I've been thinking "Well the Bible says if I waver in my faith I shouldn't expect to receive anything from God" (I believe that was the enemy twisting that Scripture on me). So I started to think that God would no longer accept even the little faith that I had. The way you described God's response to our wavering faith is SO encouraging and challenges me to continue going to God when I'm wavering *knowing* that He understands that I'm only human and will doubt sometimes. Thank you for sharing this with us! 💕
Wow, same here! My faith has been wavering too. Also, the enemy has been twisting scriptures on me too. Thanx for leaving a comment.
Wow same here! God is so good! He even remind you He still here....He did for me and now re-strengthening my faith and my relationship with him!

I JUST got off my knees from praying to the Lord and at the end I asked the Lord to speak to me scared and full of fear & focusing on the storms & look at God ! Thank you
In my last relationship, I felt really far from God and felt guilty about not being as on fire for him as I used to be. God ended up removing me from that situation. It was painful at first, but it helped me to realize that God is there for me no matter what, and no matter how far away I am He will leave the 99 to find me. Months later I feel so much better and more closer to God than I've felt in a long time. I'm at peace and happy. Amen ! The Lord is so Good
Amen! I receive this! 💕
Wow. I hope to get there too.
Thank you for this, God is using it to encourage me to keep relying on Him. God bless you!
Amen, this blessed me I was just reading Luke 15 sis ❤
Isolation season is a blessing in disguise!!
I was just in my first car accident on July 1st this year. My truck was totaled and I'm saving to move to another country. First, I was thankful my mom and I were okay for the most part, just minor back and neck pain. Then as reality sank in, I began to panic, I was triggered into a mindset I had when I experienced homelessness and I was deeply depressed for the last few days. However, I read my bible and was reminded of God's unconditional love. Even though I lacked faith, allowed myself to be triggered, felt negative emotions, and had dark thoughts, He still protected me and my mother. He still woke me up each day since the accident. He still provides for me.
this is exactly what i needed. recently i've been struggling with coming and going feelings of doubt about God and my faith. but every time Jesus saves me. peter is so me please pray for me that I continue to strengthen my faith. have a great day Jesus loves you ❤️❤️
He’s a present help in time of trouble. The way you explained Peter doubting it made me laugh a bit because we are like that. We ask God to do something big and when he does we’re like “Lord help !” . Thank God that he loves us either way.
So true! That's been me recently!
@@royallt4218 same! But we must choose faith in Him every time.
When i lose my temper on my medically fragile daughter. I full time care for so much. Shes a teen but needs help eating, toileting, her menstrual cycle, hygiene, and so much mental confusion like dementia in a child. She is also violent so parenting her is so challening. To find the balance of singing the abc’s then explaining how screaming at me for so long over things I can not give her is beyond normal. I lose my temper. I yell. I scold. I do not name call or swear and try not to attack her back but it is not easy to keep the peace during these storms. I instantly feel awful and know holy spirit is convicting me. I will appologize if i went to far but I am not excusing her behavior. We deal with them seperately. I know am trying to pray before I speak like nehemiah with the king, or walk in another room for a minute. I know my anger pushes a holy God away and so I must keep working in this
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe
when i’m struggling I tend to remind myself that the Lord said he will never forsake me..!
I recently got baptized and I'm struggling with my faith and sometimes feel ashamed I needed to hear this so I can rest assured that God is always there for me
Same❤
yes, sis!! always!! just call out to Him. invite Him into it all
Just have this in your mind that He is the one who has chosen you as his child and loves you. Read the Bible and that will lead you through Faith.
God is Good! Amen!!
Don’t be ashamed! God likes when you ask questions:) what helps me in those moments is to find like the root of what im having doubts about and look that topic up in the bible and pray on it, I always have more clarity and peace about it.
@kaytlynamormino3797 This is such powerful advice!
God, I pray that we all stop getting so caught up in worldly desires that we lose focus in the relationship that matters a relationship that last forever father God, please help us to focus on the right things and not the wrong in Jesus name I pray amen
I needed this. I thought that even the 1% doubt that would creep up when I'm bolstering my faith disqualified me from God's blessings.
I know that I know now that it's all in God's timing.
Thank you for this video. I am in a spiritual drought right now in my life....full of worry concerning my high school age teen twins, my marriage, my walk with the Lord, etc. This video has helped me to remember, all I need to do is take it to the Lord....ALL OF IT! So thank you for your ministry. It is doing what it is intended to do.
Sis, i just went through this today. Life has been so hard and i was just crying to the point i said God its too much please take me home. I am born again and now ready to be taken, please take me. He sent me a beautiful sign and i am so grateful
I relate because I was feeling this way last week. Let's trust God to come through. We just need to be more patient and focus on the blessings we already have.
@@eyethumfazwe Trust me, just having to hear this from you is a blessing. Pray for me as i pray for you sis.
Your name sounds Zambian or Zimbabwean btw... Eyethu in Malawi is spelt Eyetu
Currently struggling with consistency reading my bible so Im disciplining myself to spend time with the Lord daily in all forms :)
@kala7347 It’s an attack from the enemy. He’s doing everything to keep you distracted from spending time with God. Ask God to help you….it’s as simple as those words and He will. 🙏🏾💕
@@YahuahsDaughter25 amen 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 recently i started waking up an hour earlier than usual to spend time with God before my day & it’s been so much better 🩷🩷
the way you just read me and helped me in 9 min is crazy lol thank you so much for letting GOD use you!
to God be the glory sis! if only you knew that this was the SECOND time i tried filming this. it was a struggle but i just knew it was for someone!! so glad it could encourage you
I noticed that I get really lazy and when I do it dries me away from God because I’m not doing what I need to do and just doing what I want and not what I need to do when I come in these lost seasons, I think of time with God more than ever. I’m so glad I’m back and I don’t wanna leave ever again.
I needed this. I’ve been on a job search because I’m ready to step into my career and also pick myself up. I recently had an interview, and leading up to it, I’ve never felt more faith in my life. Everything about the position was perfect, and after not hearing back from anyone, I felt like this was God’s plan. Well, I bombed the interview. It was TERRIBLE, and of course, I didn’t get it. After the interview, I went straight into depression and self-hate. Naturally, I’ve always doubted myself and felt like the great things I’ve always seen myself doing were not in God’s plan for me. I’ve always felt small. After a while, I felt guilty for feeling the way I did because I know God, and I know that He’ll never lead me astray. Although I still have faith, there’s still doubt in me, and it stems from my past. I pray that anyone who has always felt like they’ve gotten the short end of the stick stands still in their faith. Greatness takes time, and as long as we trust in the Lord, we’ll soon be stepping into our answered prayers.
No matter what I go through in life I know that God is there. Do I ever doubt or have fears yes, but I never ever take my eyes off of God. This current season I am in has truly tested my faith left and right, up and down and all around. Yet still, my faith is not shaken. I may lose faith in certain people, places and things but I will never lose faith in Jesus. My dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, please remain grounded in spirit and in truth. The enemy Satan will not rob us of our sanity, peace, progress, desires, dreams, goals or anything else we set our hearts on ever, in Jesus's name Amen Amen Amen. I love you all.....Stay strong... Be blessed!
I’ve been a part of the church for my whole 17 years of life, but I hadn’t ever found God and given him my attention and faith until about 3-4 weeks ago and its been the best decision I’ve ever made. I am also quite the doubtful person when it comes to both my decisions and whether I truly believe something. So, throughout my journey so far with God and Jesus I have been feeling like my heart isn’t truly in the faith or that God will reject me when it is my time, or that I’m not saved or even close. These thoughts have been plaguing me, and even though I know they are of the enemy, I still fall for them and feel fear. But, this video affirmed me in the strong belief that God is here for anything I need and will always want to prove himself to me that he is here for me. I feel stronger in my faith that I DO believe that Jesus is here for me always and that I won’t be left behind because he IS my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you SOOOO much! ❤❤❤
Once God preserts himself to you, there is no doubting his existence
I definitely needed to hear this. I’ve been going through a difficult season for what feels like forever now. Trying to navigate raising my son, working on my relationship with God, feeling like I’m going through a season of mild isolation, a new career field/decision, up/down mental health, getting on track financially and working on trying to move. I feel like I know he’s working behind the scenes and that there are things he needs to develop in me for him to truly unlock some things. Deep down I know he has big plans for me, I can feel it. But my faith is shaky and my doubt increases daily. There is a little voice in the back of my head that I know is him that keeps me going but because of my lack of faith I’m constantly feeling far from him and feeling like that’s why he’s not moving like I wish he would.
He’s right there with you. He sees every tear. Keep leaning on him you will see that you won’t fall. He won’t ever fail you!
Keep praying. It helps and meditate also this will strengthen your spirit, your spirit is what makes you strong.
GIVE YOUR ALL TOO HIM CRY IF YOU HAVE TOO IT FEELS SO GOOD AND THE LIGHT SHINES THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. “FOR GOD SAYS DONOT FEAR FOR I AM WITH YOU DONOT BE DISMAYED FOR I AM YOUR GOD I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND UPLIFT YOU I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND”,EVEN IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH YOU ARE WITH ME YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF THEY COMFORT ME YOU LEAD ME ACROSS THE GREEN PASTURES IF JESUS CAN WALK ON WATER AND GIVE UP HIS LIFE FOR US ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.!
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST.!
I have felt far from God when I was in an abusive relationship. To get through I prayed harder, cried, seek positive Christian therapy, life coaching and family assistance. He is an on time God and I successfully got through. Thank You Jesus 🙌🏼
I just burst out into tears at 3:35 TY Jesus for your amazing voice and 🕯️ God Bless you
I have been really struggling lately with a new job search. I have been out of work for almost a year and I feel like I haven’t heard or felt Gods presence in my life recently. In theory, I trust God and have extreme faith in him but in my daily life and faith practices, I find myself worrying and slipping into depression because of how grim my circumstances look. I’ll admit that my anxiety, depression and self doubt my come from my own lack of trust and connection with him. And for that I’ve internalized it as him punishing me for not dwelling in him enough even though I know his love for me (us) is unconditional. I could go on and on lol but this BLESSED ME. Thank you for all you do to keep me on my faith journey Melody! ❤
How r u
It’s so interesting this scripture continues to come up in my life and I’m amazed by the timing. Right now, I’m experiencing some changes where only my faith has been keeping me afloat and given me the strength to continue despite shame, doubts and fears of the unknown. Thank you for the faithful reminder that Jesus is always with us no matter what emotions we are feeling. I truly appreciate you. ❤ I wish you and your family well. If you are reading this continue to call out to the lord whether your circumstances are good or bad. Have faith and continue to seek our lord and savior. What you receive will be beyond your imagaination. I can truly attest to that.
I have an incredibly long job season, things have happened that caused me to suffer but not in anyway near to what Jesus experienced; life be lifeing.Trusting Jesus, His way/Grace, Truth & Life by Faith in God and the preaching of Jesus' word✝️ & the presence of the Holy Spirit gave me hope. I've always been blessed before salvation then I received a giving, redeemed spirit by God This gift from God gave me strength & peace to walk out my destiny in the Lord. I'm still in my journey but I see the oasis just a few steps away, it's not a mirage, it's God and I couldn't be happier or more at peace trusting God as He orders my steps, Bless God✝️❤🙌🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽❤
I lost my job 3 weeks ago. God gave me this job and I messed it up. I need a new job, bills don't stop and I need to keep a roof over my head and my car note paid. My tags just went out end of February. It never takes me this long to find a job. God knows what I need, and I have been using this time to workout and read my Bible. I was starting to lose hope, or feel like God wasn't moving in this situation, but I know he is, I just can't see it first hand what he is doing behind the scenes.
It was for a reason it’s apart of his plan, God’s blessing won’t ever leave, he has something way better . He’s testing u. Endure and persevere
We don’t have problems, but opportunities to enact our faith!!! Hallelujah❤
My family has faced seperation from each other this year. We have dealt with a lot in the past. There is so much to heal and let go of. I lookd to God because at times I face fear that we are not going to be able to cleanse and move forward. I face fear that our connection within ourselves and in the family cannot be restored. I focus on God. Faith over fear always. I know that one day we will all find our way. All things are possible with God and he always hears our prayers. Amen. Thank you God.
Was going through the hardest times with school and parents and everything was going wrong and I just cried to Jesus and said why is this happening why don’t I feel u why are u nit near or why are u not helping me but as I opened my bible and started getting Christian’s videos on my fyp I realized God used that situation where I couldn’t depended on know but but him because I was so far from him and I stopped praying so he used that situation to bring me back to him and i am so thankful because what I went through I saw Jesus using that as a blessing I LOVE HIM SO MUCH❤
When you talk about calling out to God about your unbelief, worry and fear, it makes me think of the verse where it says God goes before us. It really comforts me.
Going through some anxiety and worry right now concerning waiting on a job but I always remind myself God is faithful and he will and always comes through for us.
I prayed about this earlier today, woke up at 4 am and couldn’t go back to sleep and this video found me by the grace of God as soon as I got on my phone, it was definitely meant for me.
Currently studying my masters which has been very intense. Throughout the course I have been challenged like never before and for the first time my faith began to waiver. To help me, I tried my best to continue reminding myself and take note of what God has done for me. I began to count my blessings and began to reject the thoughts of failure and disappointment. I asked God for a miracle and I received my miracle! Now every time I feel challenged I constantly remind myself that God did not give us a spirit of fear but love and sound mind. Claim your blessings.
I have to get cancer check ups every 3 months. When I realize my appointment is drawing near, I get so anxious. Then I get upset with myself for doubting ☹️. I just have to remind myself to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus. He has kept me covered before and He still has me covered 🙏🏽
Going thru something similar right now after being recently diagnosed. My anxiety is thru the roof every morning and with all of the upcoming appointments. I'm keeping the faith that He will carry me through. God bless you.
@@Its_me_jem praying for you. I just keep reminding myself I am a child of God and what I went through will be a testimony. God’s got you and me too ❤️
God bless ❤ and I pray for good health from head to toe, healing, and that you may have continuous clear results ❤
Came from a broken family, had my daughter at the age 22, left by her father which lead me to be a single mom, breadwinner. All this years I multiple times have questioned God. Last year and early this year was the biggest and worst struggles i've been through. All I know I can depend on was God. So I called onto Him and ask for help, for peace. Maybe i'm still not out of debt and still struggling financially but there is peace somehow and I learn to trust him things that I can't do on my own.
I definitely needed the reminder that God always meets his children when we call on him.
I am struggling with doubt and fear, real shaking in your bones fear and I really thought that this, this will be the reason I won't get into heaven or have a relationship with Jesus. But I've started to seek comfort in the word and seeking for answers.❤
After my mom died in early march I felt lost and far from God after praying so hard for him to heal her. I'm making effort to uplift my faith by listening to encouraging words like this one. Thank you
Death is hard, but I want to tell you as long as she had our savior as hers in her heart she truly is in a better place. I know it's cliché, but some of us have really like really seen the world for what it is and in the arms of the Father is the best place at the appointed time. The enemy will use this for bitterness and anger, but trust, God knows if you were praying and the answer is no. So go through the pain..ask your questions..it will be mixed emotions and it is ok, but know he knew it was best and will help heal you. I don't know if it was a toll to take care of her or what God saw in the future and understand Im not saying we equate people as tolls so to speak, but he saw something for your future. I went through this, death, I knew why, but it still wasn't easy. I didn't watch the full video could be the same thing said, but I just felt led.❤
God bless you! 🙏🏿❤️
@@nay9nay thank you for the encouragement 🙏🏾 indeed God has his reason after all he is sovereign and knows best
@@DianaMillan Amen🙏🏾
God bless you, I never have the right words, but i pray that he may he grant you the comfort and strength you need. I am so sorry for your loss❤ sending you lots of love.
Recently I have been spiritually attacked by deception about my salvation and God's love for me which had me anxious and doubtful. What I have been doing is spending a lot more time in prayers and communion with God. The Lord has also sent me a message to go to the source of my doubt and I am working on it. I am thankful that the Lord never gave up on me.
This was a timely video for me, thank you for posting, I've been in a weird season lately and doubting literally everything was literally praying before this video for clarity and here it is, thank you again for this timely message, God bless you sis xx
During this season I am in, it is quite uncomfortable. God is shaking things up in several areas of my life. It seems like I have a new battle every week 😂. Last week, I fell short and I battled with self condemnation.
This week, I have been tired of work. I know that God is doing something in this area of my life. However, I am tired. Yet, I still want to show up as my best. In fact, I need to show up as my best. I realized that I was loosing heart. Just like Peter, I got distracted by my circumstances. But I called on God. Moments after calling on God, I saw this video. Confirmation. 😂😊. I just love our father.
These past couple of days I’ve been giving up on my faith and telling my mom that I’m done believing in God.. this came at the right time.
Feeling far from God is something I've been praying about recently. I've realized that I am finding God again for myself in this new season that I am in. As I am typing this, I feel led to read the passage about the old and new wineskins. I'm desiring the former but I think God is wanting to do a new thing in my life... I reflect on my prayer journals when I feel distant. Looking back at the God moments I've had before help me to know that He's the same today as he was back then...
Im currently in a season where everything just dont make sense, but thats who God is and thats how faith is all about, not knowing anything about why things happen the way it should but trusting God has reasons for it and God will make a way thru all of it. WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH WITH HIM!
I feel like ive been far from God for the past few Months, mainly because of exams and i will not lie when i say that ive been struggling to stay on track with my school work and i feel like God doesnt love me anymore because of this, i feel guilty and ashamed of myself because of this, abd this message really helped me see that i am not unworthy of God's love, but i would like to ask if i could be kept in your prayer for me to expierence life and fire from the lord like i once used to 🙏💜
What I am currently going through a storm in my life. The steps I am taking is Praying, Reading my Word, and Let God Take full control over my life, my thoughts, my mind, my body, and my soul and spirit. Thank You for this Word of the lord it has encouraged me. Keep up the good work woman of God. May God bless and protect you and your family.❤❤
I have been scrolling past this video, and today I decided to watch, and guess what, you read the same text I did 2 hours ago. I am filled with worry and fear because my Instagram shop has been suspended, and I rely on it for an income. It's been 4 days now. Thank you for this. It's all the reminder I needed to have a lil bit more faith and call on God!
I'm about to cry right now 😭
I've been waiting for an upload and I was going through your channel yesterday, seeing if there's a video to help me and THIS IS THE VIDEO!!!
Ms Melody, I cannot explain how this video is just what I need because I AM GOING THROUGH SUCH A DIFFICULT SEASON WHERE I'M JUST LOSING FAITH, CONTANSTLY WORRYING AND I'M SO ANXIOUS.
So thank you and thank God for using you as a vessel 🥺🤍
8:55 I go in and out of periods of prolonged isolation focusing on working and lose sight of creating time to sit and be with God, when He is signaling to me that if I remained focused on Him, He will create a more fruitful community around me naturally based in his faith. Thank you so much for your words this morning, may God bless you and your family!
Thank you for this different perspective on this story: reach out to God when we doubt-don’t hide in shame
Definitely needed my storm it changed me of course and showed me what I’m made of
Just this morning reading the Bible and I was so ashamed and as I opened TH-cam I saw this video. Definitely right on time.
I used to think when I was younger that I was so logical, thinking only of science and the fact that there was little to no evidence. I’ve now found out that it’s more than just physical value, it’s something you feel within you. You feel it with your entire being and own heart. Even through my doubt and detaching from him completely, I found that he was always there through it all. Forever thankful to be able to see finally.🙏🏽❤️
Girl I'm praying and covering you because what the Lord has been using you to do on this platform for ladies is nothing short of life changing and amazing. May God cover you and your family and all that concerns you continually in Jesus name Amen. Thank you for your obedience. May God be glorified in and through it ❤
I needed this when God told me to watch it. That was last week when I felt like my circumstances were quite literally crushing me. I was so worried, anxious, and just generally tired.
I became stubborn due to shame and refused to watch it or speak to Him effectively. but He still pulled me out lol 😂
I find myself taking on other people's feelings and emotions because I am empathic. I have a hard time being true to myself, and not taking on other people's ideas, and agendas.
The feeling of doubt and a little bit of unbelief began when I was failing in two of my college classes. I was just asking God to make a way out of no way (even though I was procrastinating on my assignments). I was really just putting school in the back of my mind because I was tired of it and mentally checked out but I still wanted to finish strong. Work has also been very trying and I feel like there has been nothing but problem after problem. But I have been reminding myself that through it all God is still good. A few minutes ago I was praying and talking to God about what’s been going on and how I’ve been feeling and Hebrews 3:12 popped up in my head. It was very similar to Matthew 14:22-32 so it was no coincidence that I landed upon this video. Reading God’s Word has been a great encouragement to my spirit and mind. And this video has helped and encouraged me as well.💕
Literally right now and I didn't even realize I was thinking like this lol. Im going to continue to be praying and talking to God throughout my days, about my problems
Right now, I have this kind of a abnormality in my physical condition and I know this is just a reminder that I must take care of my body because I’m the Creator’s temple. This happened to me before but with different situation and it was tested and proven that if you call into His name in the midst of these reminders, He will certainly answer you. Fear and worry is crawling onto my whole being atm but thanks for this video, reminding me the power and faithfulness of the Lord when we call into His Name. Now, this is an opportunity for me to call to Him wholeheartedly once again cause I admit I’ve been so busy doing my mere stuffs. But I’m grateful BECAUSE I HAVE A LOVING AND FORGIVING FATHER. He knew exactly what must we encounter for us to grow and learn. Hope this inspires everyone! God bless.
THANK YOU FATHER GOD I NEEDED THAT HOLY SPIRIT ENLIGHTENMENT WISDOM KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING FORGIVE NE FATHER GOD IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME FOR MY UNBELIEF I BELIEVE IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏🏼 🙌 ✨️ ❤
Many, many years ago God had me quit a job that was very hard to get. It was a “dream” position, but the hours were 12 - 15 a day salary. I waited about six months before I stepped out on faith. My colleagues and friends thought I was crazy. I left and got another job making more money and less responsibilities. At that time I really needed the break. I was able to save money and not be so stressed. I then moved across the country and God led me to start my own business. I’ve made more money self-employed than I ever have working for someone else. I praise God for his mercy, loving kindness and provision!!! 🙌🏾💕 Those “leeps of faith” were some of the biggest lessons learned. It’s been an interesting journey God has me on….never thought entrepreneurship would lead to financial blessings.
I have being struggling with fear of losing my job and feeling so helpless but i just call out to him and i know he hears
I began to pray, meditate and ask God for his guidance.
Doubt has been the theme that I've been focusing on for a week now. I finally thought two days ago to just journal about it and ask God to help me through it vs approaching it with shame and thinking I'm luke warm for going through this. Thank you for posting and confirming that God is always near to help us through our struggles.
this made me cry, well I was already crying and I prayed he would show me a sign. and I watched this video. I just needed this, thank you! 🥺❤️
I went through some trauma this past week of praying to God about my first time driving and then I went to an accident and I felt like God had left me because how could I have gotten into something like this when I had prayed but I'm learning to leave it all to God and to find healing in this time. Thank you so much for the message it has really brought clarity❤
I have moments where I have the fear of God denying me due to my sins and doubts. Although I have always had a sense of his hand being on my life.
Watching your videos have been helpful in knowing I’m not alone in my questionable moments
I’m going through a pruning stage the Lord is bringing me through a sanctification process it made me vulnerable ashamed guilty now I feel bad not worthy that he shouldn’t love me. This has been a bondage I’ve been in the lord is breaking that comfort the identity and creating a new thing in me this is amazing but scary. ❤
Thank you so this. Amen. Have had to operate through fear without knowing what is on the other side recently (only a dream and a promise) and it’s hard when my worst fears are consistently triggered sometimes by those closest to me and other times by strangers but I have to do it anyway. I needed the reminder that God is right here with me, because I’m praying and it’s the doubt that makes me procrastinate.
This came right on time. I am dealing with an extremely difficult betrayal in my marriage and I am filled with doubt, worry, fear and uncertainty. I am a new follower and I am so happy I found your channel. It’s perfect for those like me who are new followers of Christ.
I’m glad I saw this as well. My s/o of 12 years passed away unexpectedly a month ago. The trials and tribulations just keep on coming. Grief, worry and fear were taking over. I thought God had forgotten me. I was crying and remembered God would never leave me nor forsake me. He is with me through it all. Give it to God and he will strengthen you. May you find peace in your storm🙏🏽
I have been struggling with the fear of not obeying his commands, also in doubt if me not having a job is hid will, but I noticed worldly influence has been my anchor instead of being patient, biggest struggle is to hear the answer you want to hear, rather than the truth of what is. As I write this it feels as if I'm cooling down and everything will come into play in life, no worries or stress it all comes to God
This is why God is a right-on time God! This is me currently and I thought it was only me that felt the shame fear and doubt in my heart, I don’t wanna feel it and I know God is faithful throughout everything but I kept questioning myself “Why do I feel this way but know God is faithful? He has always kept me and sustained and I’m trying to still Honor Him regardless of my circumstances, I just don’t know why I fell like this…
This was for me! God is working it out for my good! Amen
Wow, God is my source. He understands us more than we do ourselves.. I may have a lot of questions, but i believe He is faithful even through this season. I will keep my eyes on Him
Now! I'm feeling 😢so many people around me are dying and my faith is being tried, I keep trying to tell myself that we are God's property and he's coming back to collect what's his 🙏
Wow! I needed this today! Yes fear sometimes keeps me from seeking Him. When I need to invite Him into my fears and anxiety! This was so encouraging. I will not just be a hearer but will take action!
This really helped with! I was experiencing so much fear and doubt. Thank you soo much
for breaking this down for me.❤
Thank you God for never being far from me
I recently just got laid off from my job and I am due to move into my place in less than a week. Though I don’t fully know my next steps, I am just trusting and keeping faith that God is going point in the right direction and with my execution and faith in God, everything is going to be alright. There have been people of doubt around me, I do not fail to speak that God will see me through these times and that everything will be alright!
Oh I went broke on faith.
It seemed God allowed be astray until I got hurt by the world .
God said, that’s enough , and I just felt / heard Gods voice calling back.
No judgement for doubting , but more like “ i told you so “ in a gentle way.
And, I remembered Peter being uplifted when he fell, And it was Jesus doing getting him back .
Not that I encourage people to astray, but I have this new confidence in the Lord if I do .
He always calls
And more confidence, not my way, but God way.
Heavenly Father help me keep my eyes on you through the storm of life IJMN amen.
Such a great reminder! I love how Jesus responded to Peter immediately!
In this season, I've been in need of healing. While waiting on it, I've seen myself worrying and doubting, but in spite of those emotions I've been reassuring myself of God's promises by reading his word and trying to stay in a place of worship. With all that I've been facing this season, it has often felt like all i have left to offer to God is my hurt, pain, and brokenness. As I continue to give it to him I see his hand over me, his love, his comfort, and his grace... which is giving me constant hope and building my faith in him.
I thank God for you and thank you for this wonderful video!!
Thank you soo much for this message, I was scrolling through my newest videos and this one hit home, just what I needed because I am feeling ashamed for my doubts and unbeliefs, I am on my healing journey and there is soo much being brought to me that needs healing and to add there are people who needs me at the same time, as I am trying to release without out breaking down; for a little while I started feeling negative and speaking things that I knew weren’t true to myself but coming a place (ego) due to the anguish that I am experiencing now.
Definitely something I needed to hear I have been struggling with my face ever since both my grandmothers have passed away and even before so life has not gone the way I wanted it for me I thought by now I 35 I’d have a wife and kids in my own house and a good career and I just didn’t turn out that way. I know it’s my fault, but I don’t know how to change what I need to change in order to get where I want to be in life here in this open my eyes a little I just hope I can keep the faith. Amen.
I really needed this today, I’ve been struggling for a few weeks now with my faith, not knowing what to do next, not hearing from God, questioning if He’s there, feeling ashamed for my doubt which resulted in me avoiding Him altogether, but today I finally decided to be alone with Him and I broke down, I just cried and cried and just kept telling Him I need Him. He always comes through and His ways are perfect, I’m grateful for what I’m learning in this season. Thank you God 🩷
I really needed this I feel like I’ve been going in a loop lately with all these emotions you mentioned, but I have to remember to just continually be fixated on Jesus and not the negative thoughts I have. Thank your sharing this word!
Wow I am in tears this was complete confirmation from the Lord. I have been going through this and seeking God about so much around my health issues as an autoimmune warrior and migraine disease warrior. I recently had a breakdown allowing myself to be vulnerable to feel everything I needed to feel even emotionally from the mental battles, physical battles and the overall spiritual warfare. I have a hard time trusting others let along advice from those who have never experienced the same pain and how it literally impacts the quality of my life since birth really. So God has been teaching me more about His character and that I have nothing to be ashamed of or guilty of because my health was never in my full control but its in His full control. And for whatever he does allow me to control I have to adhere to His voice through the discernment and instructions of the Holy Spirit. Some ways that I return to Christ through these moments of deep struggles are reading and meditating on the word of God, prayer, resting in the perfect peace of God through the good and bad, and doing the best I can to rely on the Holy Spirit to be my self-discipline to consistently focus on Christ in the midst of the storms. I am allowing myself to cope and release transparently and vulnerably before God as often as needed, rest as I need when I can as I am a full-time mother of two, remember that progress is better than perfection and that it is all a process, and I have to trust God through it all every step of the way. It’s not easy, it is very challenging especially in the midst of migraine attacks when I think I am about to die. Then God always comforts me through His Holy Spirit and allows me to recover as needed. My profile is called Journey With Joanna because life is a journey and I pray that through my journey someone knows they are not alone. I believe we are all a work in progress daily and I truly needed every bit of what God spoke through you thank you so much for sharing and being obedient to God ❤🙏🏾✨
I also forgot to mention that many days feel like defeat, and I find myself wanting to give up and give in to the opposition influencing my thoughts or self sabotage. When I am told we are born into sin and I have a hard time deciphering between consequences that come from making choices in sinful nature versus being born into sin and facing adversity and the struggles of life that were not caused by my own choices, rather inherited and fighting to keep faith alive that God is a miracle worker and a healer, and through Christ Jesus we are redeemed. It just becomes challenging to process and know what does it mean for those who believe but still suffer for years and not feeling healed in the midst of the trials and tribulations.
God bless you! I am currently having struggles that increses my doubts, fears, anxieties, etc. And when I open my youtube page, I came across your video and I am very grateful to God for showing me this video and I am so touched, thank you very much!
I definitely feel far from God when I fix my gaze on what other people have that I don't via social media, and just comparing myself and my circumstance to theirs. A way I've been dealing with that is deleting apps that contribute to that, watching videos like this and doing activities with God like prayer walks and journaling.
Thanks for making this video, as always, it was right on time. Blessings to you and your family 🤍
Wow I can definitely relate to that heavy. I pray that we will overcome comparison and put our eyes and focus on Jesus 🤍🤍
