This is so raw and real. Heaviness and discouragement are everyday things and so-called 'childish' reactions like this are perfectly normal because it's as if God was your father. This is how I would react too. But lately, I've been trying to hold on to my faith. As Ashley said, I'm going to TRUST the Lord with what he's doing with my life. Thanks for this Ashley, God bless you.
Hi Ashley, I ‘stumbled’ across your channel today. I relate because in my disappointments in life, I have been tempted to run away from the Lord. 2 years ago I got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and despite my prayers for healing, I still have not been totally healed. The urge to run and the feeling of disappointment has been overwhelming at times. However, I have resolved to not let my ‘why’ take me away from God and to keep on declaring His Word over my life and circumstances. I’m trusting that He will work ALL things for good! I have had to remind myself that our God is faithful no matter what circumstances look like, to trust in His character when I don’t understand and to run into those everlasting arms. I love how you are encouraging others, so in turn, I want to encourage you to stay in the Word and to keep coming again and again, because He promises that as we seek Him, He will be found by us. Sending you love and blessings from Australia.
Wow! Amazingly, staying and trusting God can make you the happiest person alive! That was an amazing reminder you told us and everyone should be hearing this right now because there are people in this world who don't know God and don't notice that He is the only one who can do such great things. He is not done with your life! When you talk and share about God can make a very big difference! Thank you for sharing! May God bless you. 🥰
God never ceases to amaze me. Minutes ago, I was crying about something I did and that I regreted. And it had to do with how I always do these things when I feel a lack of control and then I open youtube, see the Ashley has posted and it felt like my body "zinged" when Ashley spoke of control. Wild.
I’ve been doing this running away or just avoiding for a year and half. I’m the lowest I’ve ever been. Being surrounded with blessings from God. I just stay focused on the areas I think need fixed. I can’t fix them. I’m depressed and I know I need to go to the Lord. I want that peace only He gives. Like u said. I feel like I’ve disappointed my father and I avoid facing Him. I’m so ashamed
Wowwwwww! I was literally running away from God for a couple of days cause I was feeling like, so weird! And Today I was going to get into his presence but something stopped me. Then I got to see your message! Thankyou soo much Sis!!!🤍I really needed to hear this today. And God is using you in such a nice way Sis! May God Bless You more and more!!! Love you Lots💕
I definitely needed to hear this today! For the past two months i've been struggling to trust God lately when i have been facing disappointments and feeling like God is distant, not answering my prayers and i've been giving in to try to control my plans and life. I'm still struggling to let God control and trust him because i don't know whats going to happen and because of my past people that i have trusted let me down and broke my trust. I know God is there and will guide me in the right directions but it just seems like giants of worrying, anxiety, fear of the future, the devil's lies and my sins are holding me back. It's scary but after what i've going through i just need to let go of control and I'm praying God will heal me and give me peace to let me know i can trust Him and let Him guide me. THANK YOU FOR THIS MESSAGE♥️
As christians we still trust in Jesus and keep faith even when faced with hardships. I’m constantly faced with financial hardships and can barely support my children but my faith in God is still strong! Please pray for me prayers are all I NEED. I’m a single mom, my husband passed years ago. I’m all alone. Both of my sons are autistic. My boys require a lot from me. I’m just so overwhelmed. I lost my job at Forsyth hospital for declining the vaccine. I declined because of my health conditions lupus, and heart disease. Since losing my job I’ve been struggling to support my children. I’m now waitressing and I’m grateful but I’m not making nearly enough. I feel like a failure. I’m tired of struggling. I’m already so ashamed. Having a child with autism is extremely expensive. I’m struggling to buy groceries. Struggling to pay rent. It hasn’t been easy. I know all things are possible through Jesus. I will not fear, fear is from the devil. I WILL KEEP FAITH. ❤
Will be in my prayers. Do not give up. Keep fighting. You're a warrior. God will NEVER forsake you. As lonely as you feel, he is right there. Please stay positive. Try to look into any possible help offered to single moms. There should be several resources near you. Praying all will turn out great for you and your boys🙏🙏🙏
Will definitely be praying for God's provision in this situation. Keep believing that God will provide, trust him as you have been doing. You are so strong and amazing, God has this situation.🙏🙏🙏
Aweee Ashley! It’s totally okay girl! I’ve so been there where I’m disappointed in the Lord. It’s so cool how he shows us his true self completely when we are in feelings of doubt. I’ve been watching your vids and I could see something was bothering you and I felt sad like I wanted to say something in the comments but I didn’t know what to say. So I’ve been praying to the Lord about you Ashley! I hope you know how much you’re loved by the Lord and this community on TH-cam! 💖🥰
Thank you, I felt like this on Monday. I didn't read my Bible or pray and I messed up, did something I didn't want to do and felt bad all day and felt guilty to get in the Lords presence 😢. Thank you for this message Ashley 🙏
I tried not to depend on God for one day, and it weighed so heavily on me. I soon regretted it and said: Lord, I need You, I love You so much. Pardon me? He answered me with love again!
Isn't the Lord just so amazing? We hurt Him time and time again and yet, He still pursues us, as if we had done Him no wrong. He is so worthy and good and such a kind Father.
Reminder in advance: FAITH DOESNT MEAN NEVER STRUGGLING. IT MEANS STILL SHOWING UP EVEN WHEN YOU ARE Im not sure wether I like how much the Lord is calling me out currently or not. Because I’m really struggling at the moment, and I just prayed not that intensively just talking to him like a child, saying „I just don’t understand you know. I’ve asked you to take it away if you don’t want it months ago, to not make me fall for him if he‘s not the one. But I fell and NOW you’re taking him away. I don’t understand. But I guess, you want to see me hurting“ I’m literally so fed up with the Lord. And then I finished and he showed me this. Still not Jumping out of joy and really hurting, butttt I won’t stop praying. I haven’t yet, but I think I was just about to give up. Well not anymore sir🫡
Romans 8:35,38-39 NKJV Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The only one who can separate or isolate us from the Lord is our own self. More specifically our foolishness and pride. Thank you for sharing, sister. Stay strong in the Lord. Even when it doesn't make sense. ❤
1)Seeking God, TRUST GOD more 2)Preparation, and assurance over the man the Lord has for me soon (The Lord spoke to me about and used others to tell me) 3)These hostility,angers, frustration, fighting that my grandma and I have. She's has these anger fits a lot. I break down, cry, and go to the Lord over it. She's the only person that this happens with.
What do you do when you pray for peace or for the feelings of grief and sadness to be taken away and he doesn’t?!!!!! Then what do we do? I don’t turn away I’ll cry and still read the word I’ll be so upset and still have my worship songs on .. what more does he want from me so he can take these feelings of my 6 miscarriages and infertility I just want him to replace me with peace and joy so even though it’s hard I can still be okay ?!
Jehovah-Nissie fight your battles. I am frustrated too. I just don’t get it. But giving it all to the lord. He gives me peace. He helps me focus back on loving god and loving people. It’s not my battle. My battle is giving my heart prayer and scripture 🤍
Yes I needed this! Lately I haven’t been in the word and I’ve noticed that my mental health just went 📉 it’s true getting in Gods word and presence helps so much and just makes my day so much better! 🤍
It's crazy how powerful reading God's word or worshipping is. The utter peace that washes over you in that moment is insane.
God bless you!🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
Amen 🙏🏼 ❤

Thanks for the message little lady good reminder for me!
I’ve felt distant from God as well. I feel like I have to figure out my own problems sometimes. Even if that problem has something to do with fears.
This is so encouraging and powerful!! Thank you for giving this message to us!!🫶🏼🤍
I desperately needed this and am feeling the Lord’s presence so much right now thank you Ash ❤

Same!
If anyone wants prayer for anything, I'd love to pray for you. Just comment your prayer request
1)Seeking God, TRUST GOD more
2)Preparation, and assurance over the man the Lord has for me soon (The Lord spoke to me about and used others to tell me)
3)These hostility,angers, frustration, fighting that my grandma and I have. She's has these anger fits a lot. I break down, cry, and go to the Lord over it. She's the only person that this happens with.
