I'm also raising money to build a computer lab for a school in Jamaica next year! see this gofundme link if you can help: www.gofundme.com/f/help-build...
It’s July 14th. Or maybe it’s the 13th I’m not sure, I haven’t been doing well with keeping track of the days anymore
I haven’t journaled since I was in LA. It was nice hanging with montell and noah, and meeting all their friends. I found myself more reclusive than I normally would have been, I felt more comfortable being observant than involved. Some would call it introversion, I like to think I’m extroverted in more intimate spaces. In my observation I noticed a few people - like Montell's sister. She had such a genuine spirit. It seemed she was so effortlessly herself, like she had nothing to prove. And she was always honest, I could feel that she was protected, blessed, and highly favoured. It was nice to experience her way of being, I wondered how I could be more like this.
Another guy that stood out to me was Grant. In honesty I can’t remember his actual name but he seems like someone you’d call Grant. He told me he couldn’t pray in a traditional sense, instead he would journal his thoughts and in those moments he would feel closest to God. He was a believer too, but his relationship was so unique, and entirely authentic that it inspired me to be more honest in mine.
But last night I listened to this guy’s testimony about experiencing hell and then being in the presence of God, and all that he described made me feel like God is owed more than I’m offering. Though I know God does not speak in a voice of condemnation, I still feel plagued by it. So I am in a place of uncertainty again. I don’t feel very secure in anything I believe. I’m finding it hard to distinguish between what is true, what isn’t, and what I don’t fully understand. I’m not afraid of hell, I don’t wanna be here, but I don’t know what to expect from heaven. I don’t feel alive but I don’t wanna die, I just want a better life. One that is not subject to moods so easily shifted, clarity so swiftly blurred, or peace so inevitably disturbed. I know there’s a better way of thinking than how I’m thinking now. I’m wondering how I can make it there. I feel plagued by my own mind and this is starting to feel too much like complaining so I put my hope in this:
To find clarity you must first endure confusion, because faith is born in the midst of uncertainty.
It is in our despair that we allow God the most room to reveal his strength. We depend on him most when we have nothing else and for people this is stress but in dependence he is at his best. So I humble myself in prayer and ask as reverently as I can: please reveal yourself.
Because it's been a long time since I’ve had a good time. It’s been a good while since I’ve genuinely enjoyed being alive, mostly it feels like fighting off my mind for a chance at a smile; I know this isn’t it for me. So show me how to dream again. Show me how to hope despite all my doubts, give me a love that I don’t have to seek out, show me now my reason for being here. Because I can’t continue living waiting to die, when there’s no point in going outside if I’m only ever in my mind, show me life.
all praise to the most high

If Miles Carter was a book, I will highlight all of his words.
Lmao 💯
Wouldn't that be just as good as not highlighting anything at all 😶
I couldn’t of said it better.
I totally agree hun
You know right
“Mostly it feels like fighting off my own mind for a chance at a smile.” I felt that
Honestly 💯
I just finished crying out to God. Laying everything out to him...my pain...my sins...my doubt. I cried to him telling him I was just so hurt...and tired of being hurt. I wanted his forgiveness but I also wanted to forgive. I wanted to know he was real but I was almost scared to find out that he was real. I cried. I just talked and let out everything on my heart. I asked him for a sign. Just about to lay down to sleep...exhausted and spent, this pops up on my screen.
Sometimes we forget that we can just talk to him. No formalities. No beautifully thought out sentences. Just simple talking. Simple crying.
I cried for a sign.
And he heard me. ❤
😭😭😭😭🖤🖤
🥺🖤🖤 oh bless
This is simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing this my sister 💓
💓
I was never a believer, until I broke down and asked for forgiveness and to just show me a sign, and then it came. There IS a powerful force that flows through everything, waiting for us to recognize it. I became a believer.
Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦 🙌🏾✨

Same here❤

"To find clarity you must first endure confusion, because faith isn't born in the midst of certainty"
I don’t know how but you’ve summed up what I’ve been feeling for the past two months in this one video and I’ve never felt so understood. I always thought I was alone and now I know I’m not. I wish that we both find happiness and life again.
I hope we find freedom and happiness
I'm with you there..feel so lost
Same here💓😿
Yes, I feel the same, and before watch the video was thinking "I feel so lonely". But I am not, I have some people that I don't ever will meet, but they understand me
" I like to think I'm extroverted in more intimate places" wow.. I've danced around those words for years and never quite found them
The way he puts thoughts to words ✨
💯
Like the feeling of it is in there yet it won't let you find it
Being alone a lot thinking and writing ✍️,that will bring those thoughts up clearly.
Same. Perfectly said.
I remember feeling this way. Not too long ago.. but long enough ago to tell you & whoever is reading this the way out of your shackles is within. You need nothing outside of you.. you’re the key and you always have been. Let go but *don’t let go*
God is closer than you think ;)
Thank you
This was the perfect timing for me. I’ve been feeling the same exact way for a while now. Normally I don’t comment but I had to this time. I got really teary eyed and emotional. God is always here for you Miles and you don’t understand how your videos have helped me realise this! I pray God helps you out of this confusing path❤️
Amen🙏🏿
🙏🏾
“I found more comfort in being observant than involved,” I feel that so much
"There's no point in going outside if I'm always in my mind. So, I'm asking you to show me life...show me life..." this is literally what I ask God all the time...
yes.
@montellfish @milescarter all love ❤️
I was surprised your friend journals his prayers because I do that too. I thought it wasn't a preferred way of praying, so I stopped. I realized when I pray traditionally I leave out a lot of things I want to say to God, so I wrote down my prayers again. I don't know if he can read them, but I hope he knows how I feel
I use to do it a while back trust me it works a lot
He can read them. Start doing it again if need to. 💕🙃
God heard your prayers, keep still in him regardless of how hard things get.
@Doyin Oyelami, there is no preferred way of praying except it be genuine and straight from the heart. I always encourage journaling espcially to my friends thats are new to our faith. Remember that God lives in us, so when you are journaling, you let things flow fron your soul to an awareness only God gives you because he is in you, feeling everything that you are feeling. Also never forget that the bible is as a result of people writings. Alot of the Psalms are old school versions of Davids journaling. Journaling is important, you are doing great! and he that is in you will finish the work he has began in you.
@@christinegweredza9635 Thank you your post touched me💖💖
"I haven't felt alive but I don't wanna die" that's deep.
I felt that❗
and i told myself i wasn’t crying today...
there are very little words aside from thank you. And I hear you. And we hear you. And HE hears you.
I also spend most of my days trying to escape the thoughts I generate in my mind. I find peace in sleeping but I know I have to get up and live. And although I still haven't been alive, I'm grateful that I have time to try. This is so similar to my every prayer.
I feel you. Most Sometimes I wish the Sun would not come up 😔😔
It’s like you can read my mind, or like god sends me these messages through you. Thank you miles ❤️
"There is no point in giing outside if I'm only in mind"🙌😔
This generation is filled with young people who are broken but hide it with a smile 🤞🏽💔. To be honest I wish I could express my feelings like this, and bro you got a bright future ahead of you and you got my fullest support ♥️
Thanks for being vulnerable and open.You’re in my prayers❤️ I pray God helps you see more light, feel secure, feel alive and feel more warmth. This video is so deep. God bless you much love always.
Fav song by maverick city 😭❤🙏 #RealThing.
your thoughts are so genuine and everytime you share your thoughts I relate. sharing my own thoughts is very hard especially with close ones, but you describe them perfectly. thank you, much love to you.
amazing as always. a super powerful affirmation is: "God, show me what love looks like." if you say that everyday, whenever you can throughout the day, watch the brilliance that pours in.
❤❤❤
“i haven’t felt alive but i don’t wanna die”
“i can’t continue living waiting to die”
wow miles. you struck me right in the heart. i’ve been feeling so extremely low lately. those quotes are my daily thoughts.
When kids at school study poetry, we should teach them, Miles Carter. He's the best poet of all time.
I don't believe but this brought me to tears. Miles Carter is like a prophet who comes to tell us what we cannot figure out ourselves.
it’s really odd, i share myself. what i am going through. and it seems like no one can relate. i look at my friends. my brothers. my peers. my family. they all seem to be okay in the areas that i seem to be suffering in. Miles, it’s weird cos sometimes people can align in your life that just understand you. i don’t know how i found you a while ago. but you are not alone. often it feels like i fighting to live. to actually BREATHE. these thoughts corrupt nearly every moment. and every now and then i find clarity. but seemingly only to fall back into confusion. i’m so proud of you. i’m so thankful there are those out there who are like you and me. not that others are not burdened in other ways. you are beautiful Miles. your soul is beautiful. and just to add, one thing i’ve learned in 22 years of living, is that i do not think we were ever meant to be so concerned with it all. just like children, i do not think we have changed. but we’ve become more aware. we have to let go. every morning. we have to not just believe God has us and that everything is okay. we have to KNOW. it’s only in true faith that we drop all the concern. that’s where we find peace. that’s when we can allow ourselves to have a good time. thanks miles
i’m a strong believer that poetry is the diary of one’s soul
i cried. this is so pure.
Probably the most relatable content I've crossed in a while. May we all feel life at His perfect time.
I’m going through quite a difficult time right now and your words and videos are really really helping me to hold on. Thank you Miles 🙏🏻
It is beautiful that in this world there are such beautiful people who notice beauty simply in the world around them. It's amazing how someone you don't know at all can make you feel better... Mentally. It's amazing that someone is able to raise awareness better than their loved ones. It's amazing that someone has such a positive effect on you and your thoughts. That's an amazing thing.
This man literally puts my feelings into words, he has such a beautiful way with words and it makes me feel so understood. thank you for making these videos, never stop ❤️
Speechless man... God has given you a gift. Dont let go.
"Show me life." Amen
I shared this with my brother. I helped my mom raised my 2 younger siblings and sometimes I feel like they miss thier dad. I hope they understand that GOD is the only dad they will ever need. God is that one that kept me going through the cancer diagnosis... and if I have to leave always know God is always there. Thanks for this amazing testimony and prayer to God. Alot of people need specially the ones that feel lost.
This song has healed my heart... I’m forever thankful for Gods love. I haven’t felt alive in a long time but his words spoken over me brought me back to life.
i hope god reminds her how much me and her love each other
Praying that one day I will look back on how I feel right now and think, “people were right, it does get better in time”
Miles if ur reading this....man thank you so much for sharing such an intimate part of u. Your prayer was beautiful. your words r speak your truth & i teared up a little cuz God is listening to you, & He will answer. he loves your vulnerability & ur desire to never let go. i can relate to u that way bc in this chapter of my life i have made the choice to never ever give up on God. He is the only one. He exceeds anything this world has to offer ❤️❤️❤️ sending love & blessings !
At the intro, all I felt and could say is,
thank you, dad
Miles Carter more has to come from you never give up. I appreciate all you upload on here.
You are a gift. I don’t even know how to articulate how much your videos and writing has meant to me. Thank you for using your talent and being vulnerable with the world. ❤️
I had been struggling so much with putting the feelings I’d been having into words, and then came this video. This is exactly it! Thank you so much for this video. God bless you.
Hey bro, I know it can be hard sometimes to find your path or purpose for life that God gave you. I was in the same position to (even as a young individual). I still haven’t found my purpose, but what I did find is: That by spending more time with God,by reading and studying his word, praying consistently and praying whatever is in my hart and bothers me in my mind, by surrounding myself with people who feels the same way or just people who I enjoy spending time with-this made me feel full filled and gave me an indescribable joy in my hart. Remember that God has a plan set out for you even if you can’t see what it is right now you shall know later on. God helped me overcome addiction what I thought wouldn’t ever be possible.If you pray to God pray like He is your friend. You dont have to use formal language or big words. God will listen to you! Remember that you have a purpose! If you or anyone can take something from this message please just try to worship God with all your hart ❤️.~Luke 12:7~ Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are more value than many sparrows.
*Edit:*The best description I have ever heard of heaven is that whatever heaven looks, like feels like, and what we are going to be doing in heaven is that we wouldn’t want to do anything else or would want to be anywhere else. We live in the world of the devil but only our God (the Lord Jesus Christ, that died for our sins )can save us from our sins and this sinfull world.
I swear you need to win a Grammy for this one!💫 May you continue to show and teach your viewers through the gratification of God. Blessings on your journey loved one😘😘🦋🦋🦋🦋
I just wanted to Thank You for helping me find myself and helping me heal. I also want to Thank You for inspiring me into Poetry. ❤😢 Your voice brings peace to my soul
Thank you Miles. For the longest time I was captive in my inability to express myself, to express my emotions. I cried as I heard you speak. My diaphragm burned as it squeezed to follow your breath. Through your words I feel free. I feel liberated from the truth I didn’t know how to express. Thank you.
You, have been such a gift to so many people I know. Keep doing what you’re doing we all are behind you
Those words are on point. Those exactly what I'm feeling and going through for the past few months.
This is a beautiful, sweet and comforting prayer. It felt like i was listening to a prayer i would most certainly utter to God in desperate times
I always longed for someone to understand me and then I found ur channel I think MONTHS ago of a year and I just realized you’re what I longed for.. someone who understood so much so thank you. thank you for making me less alone ❤️
And I’m here again. Can’t get over this ❤️
Everytime I feel misunderstood I always come watch your channel. I don’t know how you eloquently put feelings into words❤️.
I cry to almost all your videos because there so relatable but this one! This One!!!!! hit my soul 😭🙌🏾
Thank you Miles, for making me feel better about myself, and than even when I feel lost there is someone who goes through the same thing. I relate a lot to your posts, and I always find comfort and healing after listening to them. 🤧🙏
all the words that I couldn't say yet, thank you. I needed this
Damn man. I don’t know you but somehow you just spoke my heart. Thank you.
i’ve never experienced someone who can put words to my thoughts as well as you can, you articulate all the things i think about often wishing i could understand them
it’s so comforting to know that this is a familiar feeling to many people. even though it does suck sometimes, it’s soothing to know that you’re not the only one going through this cycle of uncertainty. “life is about waxing & waning” & it’ll go on & on & on but as long as we know we’re not alone in this, we can get through it :) thank you for sharing your beautiful words, always.
I totally love this piece, I'm more calm knowing we are a few out there going through the same and tbh, God is using you to speak to people like us to know that there is hope and we will sure be granted our freedom to life and yes, the anxities and worries will all end..there is a reason to our happenings, I hope when things look up and we see complete light to where we thought it was dark we will be back to say, There is God and he communicates among multitudes and sees our hearts...and sees when we struggle, Something great is about to happen cos yes there is that feeling our faith in it may be small but the fact our hearts are crying out for it..God will be faithful enough to take us through our ugly moments and storms , Amen!
this made me so emotional probably because it touched a part of me that can relate to u. sending you so much light and healing
The last time I listened to this was back in uni, few hours prior after the release of this video and it hit hard . I was drowning by then and never knew there was light on the others side. Now I am a graduate, feeling all better. I haven’t been to the light yet but at times I get a chance to experience it. Thank you very much Miles Carter❤️
“to find clarity you must endure confusion” .. i’m just coming out of that confusion and the clarity i’ve received is immaculate .. thanks for this 🤍
Thank you for being so open and genuine constantly! You’ve inspired me so much in creating my own emotionally creative outlet, and it’s so therapeutic making content like this! Bless your soul Miles! 🌟🌟🌟
i’m not crying. You are 😭
Thank you for putting all my thoughts & feelings in prayer. Thank you for giving me hope.
I've been drifted out of Nostalgia this easy.. I'm have listened to every last one of your poems. I love your poetry, I have re written all of them down cause I relate... And every day of my life I recite each poem cause I now know them by heart... My favorite being "MyPersonal Sunset" down to "The thing about depression" and now this "Don't let go is winning my heart slowly.. I don't know if you'll have time to read out this comment but I just had to let it out... I don't usually comment on RUclips videos.. In fact I haven't done it on any but well... Bravo Miles... Bravo🙌🏾🙌🏾
ive felt so absolutely helpless these past few days. and i came here because your words often give me the understanding and realizations i need. however this time i wasn’t sure. i felt so broken and lost that i didn’t think you could possibly be having a similar experience, but i was wrong ❤️
These words were taken from the pit of my stomach
Love from South Africa 🥺🇿🇦❤️
Wow😢 you're a blessing🙏...Thank you for giving me the words to the "I don't know what I'm feeling"
Bless your soul🙏
Your words help me breathe. Thank you.
this came at the right time... he says everything im feeling. really hits me .
this made me cry. i didn't know i needed this.
Resonated with my soul. Sending you love and light 💖
this one really hit home. i've not been myself the last couple of days and it has been like this before, but worse, so i just hope it gets better again
your words nourish my soul in the rarest way
i've been feeling exactly like this for so long. i'm so grateful for this train of thought❤❤
Man, Miles you Godly sent. You have no idea how lives you touch and help with all this content. Stay blessed man❤❤
You put my feelings into words
Thank you for this. It helped me a lot. Your videos help a lot of people whether u ever read this or not
This is exactly what i needed. I cant stress that enough.. Thank you Miles, that was beautiful.
This video is like me speaking off my own mind even though when i myself wasn’t able to speak off ; thanks for that I’m really glad I discovered you channel ❤️
I could spend the all day on RUclips, I won’t find another video as good as this one !
I barely like videos of someone. And believe me. I couldn’t stop myself from liking this. 🖤
growing and seeking God with friends is something very special, God gave us this friendship for us to encourage each other and to keep the fire going in our hearts. Stay strong guys❤️🔥🙏💪
Love your content and what you represent. Forever a fan
I been feeling like this too, I guess we’re never alone💜
Everybody needs to listen to miles carter. He speaks those thoughts in my head that I can never put to words.
You are truly wise my man.
With love, from South Africa
Itu❤️✨🌻
This is so beautiful, thank you for existing
This is art. Pure art and I love it.
❤ 😭😭 Im tears watching this, a true reflection of what im going through at this very moment.
Your videos show me what I feel put into art. You’re doing great man
I went through a severe epidsode of depression these past few months. I had psychotic disorders. It was scary. My experiences were traumatic to say the least. But that's not the point. The point is in the midst of all of the that my relationship with God blossomed like never before. I experienced true peace in the storm. Peace of mind and heart. The chains of the past are breaking. It's in the darkest hours where God's light shines the most.💖
I also recommend watching what old mindsets do you need to let go of by pastor Steven furtick
God bless you Onthatile 🙌🙏
Amen
This song got me through a really rough patch and your words are speaking through the difficult time I'm currently growing through. I really see you. Thank you
God speaks to me thru your videos, thank you.
Beautiful! Your videos always make my heart beat for God again miles. 🥺 Thankyou for being a vessel ❤️
Bro, this is something, I really can't explain it, perhaps enlightenment. Thanks bro
