I learned when I was in my late 20’s from a very wise person that 9 times out of 10 the worse case scenario will not happen and that God’s power is always on my side. When you feel worry coming on, stop and hand it over to God!
When I start to worry about things I try to remember that God doesn't want me to worry but sometimes it's so hard to stop, but each time I start worrying God sends something to remind me that He's got this...
Hi! 😊 This made me cry because I worry so much and I know that I need to have more faith. Yes it is true, I imagine the worst and I have trouble trusting God. I pray everyday so I can have more faith and let Jesus guide me and take care of my thoughts and my problems. Thank you for this video. I am going to watch it every time I feel worried. 🤗❤️ I know; Jesus is always with us.
I’ve been studying these exact verses with my 1st-2nd graders in Bible class. The exodus of the Israelites from Egypt is such a powerful story about how God truly is in control.
I never appreciated the old testament was I was younger. As I've mature in Christ, I see that value. The first 5 devotional books are always huge, so there are so many resources. They offer digital downloads as well. Only $12.99 USA dollars. I use to buy the books and I still love them, they feel so good in your hands and usually beautiful materials. but switched to digital and keep them in file folder on my laptop. Your sister would be proud of me! The minimalist way 😂
My Bible study discussed why God hardened Pharoah’s heart and I learned it was that God gave him freewill 😊. Lord, give me the desire to do your will and not my own. 😇I ❤️ your videos Diana!!
I like your alliteration, and I would add one more- Praise. After the prayer has been answered (the person is out of danger or whatever), I thank God for the answered prayer, and give Him praise- sometimes, it's just a few seconds of thought. Being grateful is good, and it also reinforces His provision. I can look back the next time I am worried and remember the other times that He has answered prayer.
SUCH a good & timely word!!! My Dad is in the hospital...now in his 4th week. Started out with a bladder infection, falling then they said he had covid & has been up & down hill these past 3 weeks. I live 4 hours away and have up at their house for 2 of the past 3 weeks...came home last night. Talk about worry, stress, *what if's", anxiety, etc... The story, broken down, of the Isrealute's flee from Egypt had sooo much relevance our story & was totally faith building in our miracle working God! We have no idea if my Dad will live thru this or if so, what his new quality of life will be. We cried many many tears these past 3 weeks! Thank you for this word! I'm only halfway thru it but I already feel I've been to church & got God's Promises re-written on my heart! 😍💝🙌🥰 Thank you! Can't wait to hear the rest!!!
Thank you Sooooo......much Diana!! I have struggled with this for so long and I needed to hear exactly what you shared with us in every way!! My heart is happy and that Joy is due the hope and prayer of striving to let go of worry!! Thank you again and please keep sharing your love of the scriptures and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with us, it's much needed!! God Bless!!
My mother had a terrible anxiety disorder as a result of an abusive upbringing. She lived until age 90 but carried the pain and insecurity of childhood with her every day of her life. But she loved the Lord with all her heart and never failed to turn to Him in hope. She passed away on January 1, 2020, and as much as we miss her, I am so thankful she did not have to face the uncertainties I know this pandemic would have stirred in her. 🙏🏻💙 Thank you for this, Diana. As always, relevant and spot on.
I absolutely LOVE this. 💘 My father in law has moved into a very "toddler like" phase of dementia and we are having so much trouble not getting caught up in the negative emotions of worry, sorrow and frustration. This is FABULOUS. Speaking of fabulous......YOU LOOK TERRIFIC. GLOWING & GLOWING IN THE LORD! Thank you for sharing your gift!
Aww, I’m so sorry, that’s really rough to go through, I’m sure. My father-in-law is in the beginning stages of dementia and I’m sure it will be so much harder in the days to come.
Diana, thank you so much. When I discovered you on Dawn’ s podcast I said you should be doing a bible study. I didn’t know you were a pastor at the time. Your words touched my soul. I just started listening to the Bible recap and I love it. I also ordered a study bible. I’ve been praying for something to help me learn more about our Father and I think he led me to you.
i am going through lots of medical issues and have had false reports from doctors who are protecting doctors. It is unbelievable but very true and I am now very sick. I have always been a healthy active person and to be completely dependent on those who are lying to me is beyond scary. So I am letting go and letting God as I can’t control anything right now. Your ministry is a huge help to me, Diana, as it’s almost like your steadfast faith is strengthening my faith as I listen to you. Thank you so much for your ministry! ❤️🇨🇦
I’m so sorry for your struggles with doctors and the medical system. The system truly is broken, but there are good doctors out there, you just have to be willing to think outside the box and ask around.
@@cynthiafisher9907 Thank you for your kindness, Cynthia. Sometimes, I just see the evil in the world but I know they are not the majority. People like you and Diana give me hope for a better day. May God bless you both! ❤️
85% that is crazy!! I am such a worrier: ( try to pray thru and remember verses that give me comfort ,too! I love when God puts one on my heart, that I memorized years ago.
Diana, first, your hair looks amazing 🤩. Thank you for sharing this. I’m worried about my uncle’s health so this video feels like you’re talking to me & my family. I’m going to give all my worries to God and trusting Him❤️❤️❤️
We are only human and Thank God he knows that! This has been the hardest thing for me to do! To let go and give it to God. We have gotten so used to doing it all on our own and I think that’s where we all stray away. We think we can solve it all ourselves, but we can’t. In the long run God already knows what is in store for us all anyway so the worrying is just a waste of brain cell! Thank you so much for your faithful commitment to us and the Lord!❤️
I love the thought of "letting go of worry," because after all - we need to talk to God about those worries and let go. But, we need to be consistent in talking to God about our worries, and have faith (the evidence of things hoped for, but not yet seen) that God will answer. Great job Diana!
Thank you!!! I needed to hear this. My Dad used to say, “95% of your worries never materialize!” Worry takes away our joy! I’m going to try to remember my Dad and the lady who decided not to worry when those moments creep in. And, YOUR HAIR!!🤩😍🤩
If we get nothing else from this....We can be that picture of peace to the world(those) around us!!!! How cool is that!!!! Pause-Pretend-Pray....So good!!!! Its kind of sad to think that even though we dont do it on purpose, by worrying we are telling God we dont trust Him!! We dont trust the God that made the heavens and the earth!! How crazy is that! I know im guilty!! I love that you said we cant have an anxious and a prayerful thought at the same time! So true! I want to strive for choosing prayerful every time! Establishing the Lord's Lordship over our lives...wow thats so powerful!!! And why would we want to not establish that over our lives! Trusting and acknowledging your provision and peace!!! What a challenge to make for ourselves!! It might take work and practice but how powerful when we start walking it out daily!!!! Ice cream and getting to hang out with you Diana....yes please!!!!!
Finishing up my study of one book of the Bible today and was feeling pulled maybe to study Exodus next...by chance I watched your video and the Lord used it as confirmation that that's where I'm supposed to be going next! 🎉
Hello, Diana. Your videos have becomepart of my daily devotionals. And sometimes when words escape me as I pray, I play one of your videos and "pray with you." May God continue to bless your ministry. Thank you for reminding that He's got our worries!
Also! As someone who is long term sick and unable to go to church and see people, I cannot tell you how much I value your prayers at the end of your video. Feels so good to have someone praying over you-you are such a gift!!
That was good to hear today. My apartment lease is out in 2 weeks and I think new buyers are about to buy the complex. I already knew I’d find a way to adapt if rent increases more from possible new buyers.
A handwritten verse fell through my desk/wall area, which I recently moved and refound! Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Good reminder!
Thank you Diana! We just covered this in the Bible recap (I know you know this b/c you are doing this too) and it was a lovely reminder and hearing your take on some of the exodus passages was great.
Thank you Diana! You are a great encouragement to me and so many others! Thank you for sharing God’s Word ❤️ You do a great job explaining the simplicity of the Word. God bless you and your beautiful family 🙏🏻
Worrying is such a sin and I so struggle with worrying. I feel god has so much to do that I need to help him by worrying. Such a stupid idea on my part. So many times a day I say out loud. Stop worrying god’s got this. Great video today
Thank-you so much for these practical pointers. i like your idea about praying while taking that deep breath. It reminded me that recently I stopped to let a fire engine (with sirens going) past, and as usual I blessed myself, but this time it popped into my head to think "God bless the firemen, and God bless the residents"
Diana thank you for this message especially during these times! God is using you in a powerful way on this platform. You are blessed keep doing His work.
What a lovely and wonderful teaching again, Diana, thankypu so much! One question: is it possible to pray with us without music on the background? Otherwise it is often difficult to hear your voice and to concentrate. Thanks!
Diana, I’m so happy and grateful that you decided to make this channel!! Your videos are so precious and important. This video today helped me so much as I’m a worrier and I’m in a difficult situation right now.. thank you so much!! I have one little request: I am hearing-impaired and in this video it was almost impossible to hear your prayer as the music was too loud. Could you please soften the music a little bit next time? Love and blessings from Germany! Jessi
1. Pause the primal brain response and redirect. 90 seconds to prevent toddler tantrum in our brains, before toxicity of anxiety related hormones flood our bodies. We can actually train our brains not to worry? And not have it hard wired to anxiety? Hard to imagine and believe! Deep breath. 2. Pretend - what if that worse case scenario happened? WE'LL ADAPT. (Dr Paul). Trust God to bring the needed provision, experts, help, etc. 85 percent of the time what we worry about doesn't happen! 3. Pray
I love the neuroplasticity discussion. A good way to remember this is you want to DOSE your brain (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins) and you want to kick the CAN(cortisol, adrenaline and norepinephrine) chemistry to the curb. :)
I find it very difficult to trust in God.. our first child died when I was 38 weeks pregnant and our rainbow baby who is now 4 is suffering from a neurological illness which is torture 😔 💔
I learned when I was in my late 20’s from a very wise person that 9 times out of 10 the worse case scenario will not happen and that God’s power is always on my side. When you feel worry coming on, stop and hand it over to God!
Love this 💕
I'm an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened ----Mark Twain
Lovely Diana. I hope the cloud of God will protect the Ukrainian people
When I start to worry about things I try to remember that God doesn't want me to worry but sometimes it's so hard to stop, but each time I start worrying God sends something to remind me that He's got this...
I get that too✝️❤

Worry is energy spent on survival that the Lord meant for advancement.

Hi Diana🙋♀️
Beautiful!!!
What a beautiful devocional, thank you so much.
So good and timely! Thank you Diana, God bless you!

I also love your teachable moments between you and Dawn. You both are the best. Oh yeah Tom too. 😊

Thank you!!! Bless you. See you soon.

Gina here- so crazy question I love the cabinets/buffet behind you! Where did you get them? I’ve been looking for something similar
I don't know if she has a video talking about it, but I think they're upper kitchen cabinets!
I find it very difficult to trust in God.. our first child died when I was 38 weeks pregnant and our rainbow baby who is now 4 is suffering from a neurological illness which is torture 😔 💔
You look amazing today, you should wear your hair this way for a long time.
May I ask why you say "I bless"? Blessings come From God....wouldn't one say "Lord bless"?
She is a Pastor
@@benazirb I know that....but that has nothing to do with my question. Pastor's are not any more holy than anyone else.
Amen.
