"Time doesn't heal wounds, Jesus does." Absolutely love this. Milena thank you for sharing this video and being an image bearer of Christ. Praying for you and your family through this storm!
For some reason God always speaks *directly* to me through you. It’s very specific and always bewilders me. I haven’t watched this yet as I’m laying my baby down for a nap but when I got the notification, it almost gave me chills. Just 10 minutes ago I was praying about the storm I’m in. Thank you and love you ❤
Same here!! I love love love what you’re doing for the Kingdom, it truly impacts us, real people, keep being such a force for Him, we appreciate your platform and everything He shared with us through you!!!
Lamentation 3:32 has been my verse since we had our most recent loss. Stillbirth at 38wk 4 days. Still encourages me every single day. “Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.” He WILL show compassion!!!
Psalm 126:5 „Those who sow with tears will reap the songs of joy”. That verse got me through depression, suicidal thoughts and overall my childhood abuse. Praise the Lord! 🤍
praying for you in this very moment 🤎 may the Lord be your peace & comfort. I pray for supernatural strength and endurance to draw nearer to Him in this time. Believing you will come out stronger on the other side of this 🙏🏼
Seeing you have such peace during this time is inspiring. What you experienced was awful, but it’s amazing to see you still hoping that God uses this for his glory and to bless other people. God bless you guys as you’ve surely been a blessing to others.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. You and your husband are very inspiring on how I want to show my son how to handle storms. I’m a single mother, and I tend to go through storms alone. But you, Milena, have helped me realize that I am not alone. I have family, friends, my son, MYSELF, and God to rely on. And to say that I have God in my life is something I thought I would never say…bc I have stepped away from the church (the catholic church) when I was 17. I’m 29 now, and watching your videos over the past few yrs has helped me grow spiritually and form a new, better relationship with God. So thank you to both of you. I wish you your family many years of happiness and joy. ❤
I read James 1 earlier today and when I clicked on this video I just knew you'd bring up that chapter - the Lord always shows me after I read His word an example of the fruits that can come from trusting in it. I'll be praying for you and your family through this storm and thank you for all you do for His glory ❤️
@@MilenaCiciotti so does seeing you grow and hearing your story. Truly love you and am grateful for the example you set for so many, myself most definitely included
@@MilenaCiciotti I’m also going thru a storm and had read this verse two nights ago, the day before the storm hit. And now you posted this video on the same verse the Lord had me stuck on meditating in James 1.
My Great Healer Verses: Psalm 34:18 Psalm 55:22 Psalm 147:3 Matthew 11:28-30 1 Peter 5:6-7 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 For me, these are the verses I cling to for dear life while I was going through the greatest heartache I’d been through. I pray the Word of God blesses others through these scriptures🤍
The worship song Even If by MercyMe has gotten me through my darkest and deepest storms ❤ watching your faith through this season of life has been so beautiful and inspiring.
Currently going through a storm of loneliness. My husband and I are in ministry at our church and we’re somewhat newer and we’ve opened our home to married couples and it seems as though they have all connected outside of us not being included in that group. All we’ve prayed for is for a godly community like what you have for the past 10 years and it’s just been so taxing seeing others get it or have it and questioning “when is it my turn lord?”. You are so lucky to have that milena. Your friends caring about you and vise versa. I know God will bring that into our lives some day🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss Milena. It’s sad, almost as if you knew, because I remember in a video during your last pregnancy, you said that you have already mourned your fourth baby because the 3rd pregnancy was so hard and you felt like that was it for you guys. I’m sorry that you’re actually mourning your 4th baby.. but glory to God for sustaining you and giving you peace through this storm. God has also given me peace during this storm, isn’t he so good? To supply all that we need right when we need it.. sending love your way ❤
‘Not my will but Yours be done’ was the prayer we held onto during our miscarriage last April. Felt so much peace being able to non-stop pray that during all of the uncertainty❤️
The verse that gets me through the storm and has never failed me: “The Lord is close to the broken hearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed” Psalm 34:18 Amen, our God is a rescuer 🙏
This!!! I had soooooo much peace when we found out our son had a disability. I was 20 weeks pregnant and everyone around us was worried about us and sad and me and my husband just felt so much peace and gratitude. We had no worries because we knew Gods got his hands all over him. And if you knew me 5 years ago I would’ve never said that. I used to be THE BIGGEST worry wart.
Psalm 46:10- ‘Be still & know that I am God’. This verse has got me through 100% of my storms; I get very anxious and fearful at times, but God is working in me and I pray for him to use the fear and anxiety to strengthen me. Thank you for sharing your story with us Milena, it’s wonderful to see what a woman of God you are. Love and prayers to you and your family x
Your faith is so beautiful and inspiring. Your faith has been so inspiring to me since having babies and getting back into my faith. Thank you for sharing all that you do ❤ your words are so powerful
I've lost two babies in 9 months to completely unexpected and unexplained miscarriages. There is most likely something going on with my body and we just dont know what. We want to be parents and raise up little ones for the Lord, but Im struggling to even ask the Lord for babies. Im so scared of another baby being taken from me. My last pregnancy cut so deep into both my heart and mind. My little boy was alive until shortly before we delivered due to pprom thst resulted in labor at 20 weeks. And I know God is good and that he is faithful, but it is so hard to see that right now.
I’m so sorry ❤ I have similar but different experience to you (4 babies in heaven over 2 years from early miscarriage to 32 weeks). It is so hard! I encourage you to take it to God. Lay it all before Him. God taught me this on our 3rd loss. I was screaming at Him. I told Him ikmew He was good but it didn’t feel good. I told Him I knew He is love but it didn’t feel loving. Then I put on the song ‘goodness of God’ and sat in it. I sat in it unable to sing the words. Eventually I was able to sing the words and believe them again ❤ I pray you will know His love and peace! You are loved. Your little ones are loved and in the arms of Jesus ❤
In your last video I was able to experience at least 0.1% of the peace and Joy that you were able to experience through something like that and wanna say how much you radiate it through the screen! Your videos are always so comforting but something teaching me from that video that it wad so calm i could almost feel it. Thats goals! Really thankful for your videos especially the last two!
I just want to say, I barely found your channel milena and instantly I noticed this about you, your RADIATING This Glow and spirit even through the screen that makes you feel her presence and Reflects God so much it’s inspiring! I went through a very similar situation recently too and it was hard to see Gods part in all of it but in the middle of the storm I was like Gods plan not mine, Gods children not mind, God has a reason for everything & he will never leave our side! God bless you milena!
A verse that got me through a storm I went through last year is 1 Thess. 5:16-18 which says “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstance, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ♥️☺️ thank you so much for sharing this truth!! Jesus is our healer!!
As a non-Christian follower of your channel for a few years now, there are some good points to be heard here. Obviously we do not agree as far as spiritual beliefs, science, etc., but there are similarities between how you would get through the storm and how I would and have. Thankfully I have a very supportive spouse, and beautiful children that I am incredibly grateful for. I can make several points to show how we relate - but really I just want to say how beautifully strong you are and how much I wish for you to have peace after going through this, and as you continue to go through this. ❤
Your faith is so inspiring ❤ I cant remember the last video of yours that I've watched without crying (In the best way) You are a blessing Milena!! Thank you for allowing God to use you the way He has 😊
Music plays a big part in my faith, I hear the Lord speaking to me and my situations through song. When I was holding both my boys in my womb I would sing the song 'The Blessing' over the both of them. "The Lord bless you, And keep you, Make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you, The Lord turn His, Face toward you, And give you peace." (Make his face shine upon you' - where Sonnies name sparked from) When we lost Sonnie that song no longer brought peace and joy in my heart but deep heartache. I was without song that brought me close to the Lord, that made me feel like he was near until I heard "Fear is not my future" by Brandon Lake. "Let Him turn it in your favor Watch Him work it for your good 'Cause He's not done with what He started He's not done until it's good Hello, peace Hello, joy Hello, love Hello, strength Hello, hope, it's a new horizon Fear is not my future You are, You are Sickness is not my story You are, You are Heartbreaks not my home You are, You are Death is not the end You are, You are" Oh the tears that ran down my face hearing those words. Searching for peace, joy, love, strength and hope during a time of deep deep darkness. Wondering how he's going to turn it in my favor, desperately holding onto His promise that He's not done with what He started, He's not done until it's good. Reminding myself that heartbreak is not my home, that death is not the end, He is. When we hold Ezera and I see him smile, I can now see pure peace, joy, love, strength and hope. We're definitely not out of the heartache and pain that has come out of this season but me and Austin can so clearly see Gods hand in our lives and over Ezera's life. That He is turning it to good, that He's not done with what He's started.
This is exactly what I needed to watch today. My little sister just passed away monday morning and all I can do is seek comfort and peace from the Lord! I trust you completely Lord! Please pray for my family and I 🙏
Psalm 143:8 and I the Bible verse that says “when you go through deep waters, I will be with you” I forgot the verse but God ALWAYS quickens me with that verse and I sing it, He has done that so much, He is so good though all the trials and tribulations!!!
While healing from my first birth and struggling with the fact that I ended up with an emergency c-section- the trauma that came with that, the extreme pain in healing, and the worries around what it might mean for the future of our family, as we want to have a larger family if that is God’s will- I clung to “Honey in the Rock” as my worship song along with “fear is a liar” (I was so scared about the potential health risks with future pregnancies and not being able to have a natural birth ever). Now I hear that song and just think of how beautiful the lessons are that God has taught me through the healing and processing of the storm!❤️
For me the pain has changed. I still can't talk about my miscarriage without crying, but I'm a super emotional person anyway. It still hurts. It's been over 3 months. It feels like an eternity ago, and yet it also feels like it was just last week at times. I love seeing how you're going deeper in your faith through the storm ❤️
I’m barely 5 mins in… this is so beautiful. Wisdom I wish I had last June when we lost our son Jonah James- he passed right after he was born. That pain is like no other but it truly cleansed me, I never felt so close to Jesus in the middle of my worst nightmare of all places. I miss it. Unfortunately I turned bitter and resentful in so many ways. I was one of those women envious of other pregnant women and families with newborns. So destructive. I clung to Jesus in this pain, I prayed and prayed to be out of the storm but because of the bitterness in my heart I felt that I didn’t deserve it and I surrendered to His plan. The holidays I pretty much hit rock bottom emotionally, on Christmas when we very least expected it we found out we were pregnant and a month later, on Jonah’s 7 month birthday we found its twins. I don’t know what I did to deserve His Grace… I’m still working through it as a type this. My heart turned so ugly and still He showed me true Grace. I thought I had a much longer road to redeem myself but in the middle of the thick of it He blessed me. I’m still processing this so if this comment is all over the place forgive me lol. Thank you for sharing your journey of Jireh, you continue to bless us all the Lord is truly working through your family. It’s so beautiful, we all feel your peace and I pray that continues for you. Jesus truly heals all wounds, our Graceful King. Thank you thank you 🤍 we will always have our babies waiting for us with Jesus in heaven. John 12:27 27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. 🤍
Girl!!! I love being on this journey with you!! You are so inspirational and such a blessing! I love how real and relatable you are. Ministering to your kids is the best gift to give them. Keep going!!!!!! You are supported by this mama and I love seeing God in you!
Mourning with you in the loss of your child, rejoicing with you in the testament of His Glory! Lifting your family before The Lord! Commending you for being a witness in it all!!
Thank you for sharing your solitude in Christ & the beauty of relying on Him! Suffering either wraps you in destruction or clothes you in gratitude + joy! The glory of the Lord is shining through & this season is a blessing to know Him deeper! Praying for y’all!! Trust in You - Antoine Bradford + Let the Ground Rest - Chris Renzema are great songs for afflicted hearts🤍
I’ve clung onto the verse 1 John 4:18 “Perfect love casts out fear” during a really hard and dark time I experienced in high school, my pastor at the time quoted this scripture to me and it was like a wave of peace I had and something I am reminded with in times of fear and doubt. Praying for your family Milena. ❤️
This is so encouraging to me! I went through a miscarriage in December with baby #3 and we are now currently pregnant again with our precious rainbow baby! But even though that was THE hardest thing we have ever walked though, we still had so much peace and joy through it all. God is so gracious! The one song that I clung to was “Yes I will” by Vertical Worship. I would listen to it literally all day long because I refused to give into my flesh and be bitter and angry and would sing it even when it was hard and I was choking back sobs! Yes there are still days when I am sad and miss my baby Micah, but we have so much hope in Jesus! Praying for you and your family and for God to bless you with your rainbow in His timing! 💛
I'm a Christian RUclipsr too and you genuinely inspired me to start from all your older faith videos... and so to see your faith based videos to be back in full force just brings me so much joy! Love this side of Milena as well as home making side!
Thank you for sharing this ♥️ one of the most uplifting verses for me when going through a storm is Psalm 27:1 ~ ““The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?” Praise Jesus that we have such wonderful encouragement for our souls in His Word no matter what happens in our life. Praying for you and your beautiful family Milena 💗🙏🏼
Even before watching this video I am so encouraged. Since you changed the content of your RUclips channel to more like this, your audience has changed too. It's beautiful to witness and all the testimonies that are shared here in the comments....! Praise the Lord for what He is doing in our hearts. And thank you so much for listening and obeying the Lord. You are a true blessing for so many, me included!!
I didn't suffer a miscarriage thankfully. But ive been in a season of grieving for 3 years. Lost a grandchild to miscarriage and then 2 grandchildren to estrangement a few months later. The pain is unbearable. I would never want to go through it again and i still have my mini seasons on birthdays, Christmas and and anniversary of time without them. But God has taught me so very much during this time. Im old and a slow learner so im sure i have many more lessons to come. Thank u for being so open and vulnerable with us. And reminding us that no matter what God is good. My faith was hanging on by a string for a long time i admit. But i kept reading my Bible and over time God started to heal my heart. U and ur husband are making sure that ur loss is not in vain. Wow yall r so special. Great job sweet girl
without going into crazy detail, last year I experienced a huge shift in my life and it rocked my world in ways I didn’t even fully understand at the time. I had truly reach a low, hopeless state and I remember crying out to God saying “I can’t live like this. I don’t want to be alive and feel like this” and didn’t see how I could make it to the other side. Through all of that, I found Jesus and genuinely don’t know if I’d still be here today without Him. I think something I hadn’t really realized until going through this was that Jesus brings joy & peace, but it doesn’t mean life will be easy. Things will still be hard, you will still experience trials and hardships, but there’s a certain peace that fills you once you realize that Jesus is in control and that everything that happens is according to His will and not mine. We know where our hope is, and that’s why we have peace. A verse (or verses) I really clung to during this time was Philippians 4:6-8: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell in these things.”
Hey Milena, This message really spoke to me, I'm currently in a storm or a hard season where everything is confusing and everything else just feels like it's falling in apart but I know and one thing for certain that even in the midst of this storm God is with me, he is in the boat with me and with Jesus in the boat, though the storm is raging I know I will have peace and in his timing he will calm the storm. It reminds me of the story when the disciples and Jesus was in the boat and the storm came out of nowhere and they were all afraid but Jesus was sleeping, but he got up and rebuked the storm but what really stood out to me from this story is when Jesus asked his disciples "why are you afraid, do you still have no faith?" with Jesus with us in the boat we can smile at any storm. God bless you Milena and I pray that God will continue help you even more so in this time, Blessings.
God speaks directly to me through you! (as someone else also said) It is the most amazing thing. Ive been struggling with postpartum anxiety/ depression, and i prayed a couple hours ago for God to help me with my storm.. the video i watched before this was Brandon Lake.. he said "God speaks to me through his people". I was like.. oh ya, maybe thats what i need to remember instead of asking for a sign.. he never gives me signs lol and yet i always ask for them. He always speaks to me through his people. MILENA IS HIS PEOPLE! 100% and every single one of her (or your, if you happen to read this) videos speaks to me when i need that the most. God is sooooooo SO SO GOOD!!!!!
Milena, I don’t want to take away from the content of the video - but you are glowing. You look absolutely stunning, and it’s clear how comfortable you feel with your new look in a positive way. It feels like you became more in-tune with yourself through your new style you’ve discussed (a new chapter) and it reflects outwardly how you feel inwardly. I don’t just see what you’re wearing, or how you look physically, but I see a healthiness that shines through and surpasses those things somehow :)
Today was crazy for me, a lot of noise in my head. I woke up and I saw your video in the feed, I decided to watch it but couldn’t finished it. When I was at the office a lot of stuff happened, so much stress in my head. And I listened to the Holy Spirit saying: finished the video. And I did. Then started raining, the sky was falling down haha. I looked up and I felt God was saying, DON’T RUN FROM THE STORM, and I did. I stood still and the rain drenched me completely. Definitely spoke to my heart and my thoughts. Thank you Mi❤️
One song that has helped me through the storm is the blessing by elevation worship 🙏 especially the lyric 'in your weeping and rejoicing He is for you'
What a gut check. I appreciate your reminders to abide ESPECIALLY in the storm. I loved how mentioned it’s okay to feel hard things. It becomes a problem when we allow those things to change our character. Thanks for sharing this, and mostly thanks for using your influence for the kingdom.
I'm so thankful for this video. I had a misscarriage when I was 6 week pregnant with my second, in March. I cried a lot watching this video but it also gave me peace. God works so great through you. ❤
I love how you said I don’t know what else to do than to worship and that’s what I been doing in the storm too because is not in my control but I know who could help me through it ❤
My verse through the storm is Deuteronomy 28:6 and it says “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and be blessed shall you be when you go out” It reminds me that even if the outcome isn’t the way I wanted that God works all things together for the good of those who love the lord (Romas 8:28) and it helps me have keep faith and hope!!
“Time does NOT heal wounds. Jesus Does” 18:39 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So true!! Time may heal physical wounds but the emotional, mental, and spiritual wounds that no one can see are the ones that Jesus see so clearly and is the great physician to heal those wounds too!! Don’t under estimate the power of prayer - it does WAYY more than any of us could fathom! Romans 8:18 - “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” This verse has gotten me through the hardest moments in my life and I always seem to lean to heavy on this one when I’m a storm. Romans 8 will always be my favorite book in the Bible
I had a miscarriage the first week of May and I relate to everything you said in this video, Milena! It's so beautiful to see how the Lord has grown you over the years (I've been watching since before Alethea was born. Continuing to pray for you, your family and that the Lord would grow you and provide abundantly 🤍
"Allow me to not want to come out of this storm" WOW such a beautiful perspective that I'm going to have to incorporate in my prayers now 🥺 I've been going through such a major storm that has left me so weary physically, mentally, and emotionally, and all I think about is when will the day come that I'll stop suffering? But suffering produces endurance and allows the fruit of the Spirit within us to blossom so others can have a full tree to pluck from! This trial has greatly tested my patience and ability to be long-suffering and many have been plucking my fruit of patience and the Lord is teaching me to endure for His grace is sufficient and although my flesh and heart may fail, He is the strength of my heart & portion forever! Thank you for this video, Milena 🥺❤️ I've been praying over you and your family 🙏🏻
My verse I cling on to on the storm is psalms 119:105 thy words is a lamp onto my feet and a light to my path. Only the word of God which cal heal as he guides us down the path
Thank you for this. This shows your maturity as a Christian we also went through this and we also had so much peace and joy for our other friends. And it was weird for people looking from the outside that we had so much peace in the storm. Because His timing is perfect and of cpurse their is moments of sadness. Its so much better to go through it with Jesus.
Jireh- Elevation Worship & Maverick City and Be my Shalom -Evan Craft. These songs have been my go to, they has helped me out of so many situations. They remind me of God's perfect love for me. Please keep me in your prayer as I continue to trust God in this season 🙏🏾. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾❤️
I am going through a storm. not a miscarriage, by dad has cancer. I have been feeling the same way you have in many ways and you are such an encouragement to me. You can have joy and sadness, joy is choosing to say "God you are still good and still faithful even in the midst of this" thank you. Praying for your family.
My husband and I are currently going through a separation. I am silently fighting for our marriage and am in constant prayer and worship with the Lord. Each time something new comes to me and reopens the wound, I have this peace that the Lord has placed over my heart and mind. When the enemy is still attempting to get in my head and heart again, my favorite verse to say is “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. Proverbs 3:5-6 and it redirects my thinking and helps me fall into the arms of the Lord reminding me that he gots this ❤️ My worship song that I always lean on is “The Blessing” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes
Milena, watching you and Jordan navigate such a heartbreaking time has been a powerful testimony of the perfect peace found in Christ. The Lord is surely using you to testify of His faithfulness and the joy He gives to His children. Thank you for shining such a bright light in this dark world 🩷
“In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19 KJV This is my verse It’s been my go to for a lot of situations
Romans 8:28. I feel the lord speaking to me through you all the time. It always is so comforting. A lot of times the lord will place something on my heart and then you end up doing a video on the same thing. I just lost my baby as well in May at almost 11 weeks. You have brought a lot of perspective to my life in this storm I’m in. Thank you so much for always being so encouraging.
“He will not have a second to come into this family”!!! AMEN!!! 🙌🏻💛
When she said that, I felt the empowerment of God shining through her!
"Time doesn't heal wounds, Jesus does." Absolutely love this. Milena thank you for sharing this video and being an image bearer of Christ. Praying for you and your family through this storm!
For some reason God always speaks *directly* to me through you. It’s very specific and always bewilders me. I haven’t watched this yet as I’m laying my baby down for a nap but when I got the notification, it almost gave me chills. Just 10 minutes ago I was praying about the storm I’m in. Thank you and love you ❤
wow praise the Lord 🥹 praying for allll the strength, endurance & peace through this storm 🤎
Me too! Even with the podcast topics especially when it comes to internal battle to obey my husband..
Same here!! I love love love what you’re doing for the Kingdom, it truly impacts us, real people, keep being such a force for Him, we appreciate your platform and everything He shared with us through you!!!
Create in me a a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Lamentation 3:32 has been my verse since we had our most recent loss. Stillbirth at 38wk 4 days. Still encourages me every single day.
“Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.”
He WILL show compassion!!!
So sorry for your loss
❤❤❤
Psalm 126:5 „Those who sow with tears will reap the songs of joy”. That verse got me through depression, suicidal thoughts and overall my childhood abuse. Praise the Lord! 🤍
I’m going through a missed
miscarriage right now at 14 weeks. Your experience, wisdom and love for God is helping me so much!❤
praying for you in this very moment 🤎 may the Lord be your peace & comfort. I pray for supernatural strength and endurance to draw nearer to Him in this time. Believing you will come out stronger on the other side of this 🙏🏼
Praying for you mama!!!
Seeing you have such peace during this time is inspiring. What you experienced was awful, but it’s amazing to see you still hoping that God uses this for his glory and to bless other people. God bless you guys as you’ve surely been a blessing to others.
🤍
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. You and your husband are very inspiring on how I want to show my son how to handle storms. I’m a single mother, and I tend to go through storms alone. But you, Milena, have helped me realize that I am not alone. I have family, friends, my son, MYSELF, and God to rely on. And to say that I have God in my life is something I thought I would never say…bc I have stepped away from the church (the catholic church) when I was 17. I’m 29 now, and watching your videos over the past few yrs has helped me grow spiritually and form a new, better relationship with God. So thank you to both of you. I wish you your family many years of happiness and joy. ❤
I read James 1 earlier today and when I clicked on this video I just knew you'd bring up that chapter - the Lord always shows me after I read His word an example of the fruits that can come from trusting in it. I'll be praying for you and your family through this storm and thank you for all you do for His glory ❤️
wow that just gave me chilllss!!
@@MilenaCiciotti so does seeing you grow and hearing your story. Truly love you and am grateful for the example you set for so many, myself most definitely included
@@MilenaCiciotti I’m also going thru a storm and had read this verse two nights ago, the day before the storm hit. And now you posted this video on the same verse the Lord had me stuck on meditating in James 1.
so thankful for your example. praise God for His faithfulness!

The worship song Even If by MercyMe has gotten me through my darkest and deepest storms ❤ watching your faith through this season of life has been so beautiful and inspiring.
Currently going through a storm of loneliness. My husband and I are in ministry at our church and we’re somewhat newer and we’ve opened our home to married couples and it seems as though they have all connected outside of us not being included in that group. All we’ve prayed for is for a godly community like what you have for the past 10 years and it’s just been so taxing seeing others get it or have it and questioning “when is it my turn lord?”. You are so lucky to have that milena. Your friends caring about you and vise versa. I know God will bring that into our lives some day🥰
Please pray for my husband, he’s been in a storm for 20 years and is feeling tired and hopeless
My verse is "He will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him" ❤
One of my most favorite verses. Isaiah 26:3 💗✝️🥰
I’m so sorry for your loss Milena. It’s sad, almost as if you knew, because I remember in a video during your last pregnancy, you said that you have already mourned your fourth baby because the 3rd pregnancy was so hard and you felt like that was it for you guys. I’m sorry that you’re actually mourning your 4th baby.. but glory to God for sustaining you and giving you peace through this storm. God has also given me peace during this storm, isn’t he so good? To supply all that we need right when we need it.. sending love your way ❤
When you said “Time does not heal all wounds, Jesus does!” I felt praise in my spirit hallelujah speak his word and truth😭🙌🏾👏🏾
‘Not my will but Yours be done’ was the prayer we held onto during our miscarriage last April. Felt so much peace being able to non-stop pray that during all of the uncertainty❤️
PROFOUND
"Pray for what I want, not against what I don't want."
Praying for peace, unity etc.... much more powerful
The verse that gets me through the storm and has never failed me: “The Lord is close to the broken hearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed” Psalm 34:18 Amen, our God is a rescuer 🙏
Amen. Your growth is so sweet to see! He is definitely preparing his daughters and getting our hearts right!!! Praise be!!!!
Psalm 61, 'when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I' ❤
This!!! I had soooooo much peace when we found out our son had a disability. I was 20 weeks pregnant and everyone around us was worried about us and sad and me and my husband just felt so much peace and gratitude. We had no worries because we knew Gods got his hands all over him. And if you knew me 5 years ago I would’ve never said that. I used to be THE BIGGEST worry wart.
Time does not heal wounds. Jesus does! 💯
TIME DOESNT HEAL WOUNDS, JESUS DOES 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Soo good Mi!!!!
Psalm 46:10- ‘Be still & know that I am God’. This verse has got me through 100% of my storms; I get very anxious and fearful at times, but God is working in me and I pray for him to use the fear and anxiety to strengthen me. Thank you for sharing your story with us Milena, it’s wonderful to see what a woman of God you are. Love and prayers to you and your family x
I needed to read your comment today. God is so good. For me it’s Psalm 37:5 - “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.”
It’s a great one!! Kinda similar to my verse for all my trials, Philippians 4:6-7 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Your faith is so beautiful and inspiring. Your faith has been so inspiring to me since having babies and getting back into my faith. Thank you for sharing all that you do ❤ your words are so powerful
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength Philippians 4:13
God bless you and your family spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially in Jesus name amen!
Middle of my storm by the Clark family. Beautiful song for the season and time in the storm.
Jesus is the peace in every situation. I have no idea how I would be able to go through life without Him
I've lost two babies in 9 months to completely unexpected and unexplained miscarriages. There is most likely something going on with my body and we just dont know what. We want to be parents and raise up little ones for the Lord, but Im struggling to even ask the Lord for babies. Im so scared of another baby being taken from me. My last pregnancy cut so deep into both my heart and mind. My little boy was alive until shortly before we delivered due to pprom thst resulted in labor at 20 weeks. And I know God is good and that he is faithful, but it is so hard to see that right now.
I’m so sorry ❤ I have similar but different experience to you (4 babies in heaven over 2 years from early miscarriage to 32 weeks). It is so hard! I encourage you to take it to God.
Lay it all before Him. God taught me this on our 3rd loss. I was screaming at Him. I told Him ikmew He was good but it didn’t feel good. I told Him I knew He is love but it didn’t feel loving. Then I put on the song ‘goodness of God’ and sat in it. I sat in it unable to sing the words. Eventually I was able to sing the words and believe them again ❤ I pray you will know His love and peace! You are loved. Your little ones are loved and in the arms of Jesus ❤
Nehemiah 9:27-28 is a new verse I have clung to during my storms. Praise Jesus for His love and compassion ❤
In your last video I was able to experience at least 0.1% of the peace and Joy that you were able to experience through something like that and wanna say how much you radiate it through the screen! Your videos are always so comforting but something teaching me from that video that it wad so calm i could almost feel it. Thats goals! Really thankful for your videos especially the last two!
U r not just a witness to ur kids. U r a witness to us all. This would have helped me so much before i entered my season
So proud of you for being so vulnerable & real + sharing videos like these!
I just want to say, I barely found your channel milena and instantly I noticed this about you, your RADIATING This Glow and spirit even through the screen that makes you feel her presence and Reflects God so much it’s inspiring! I went through a very similar situation recently too and it was hard to see Gods part in all of it but in the middle of the storm I was like Gods plan not mine, Gods children not mind, God has a reason for everything & he will never leave our side! God bless you milena!
The verse that always helps me through everything is John 13:7
A verse that got me through a storm I went through last year is 1 Thess. 5:16-18 which says “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstance, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ♥️☺️ thank you so much for sharing this truth!! Jesus is our healer!!
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.”🙏🏼🙌🏼💙
2 Corinthians 5:17 is by far th bible verse that has gotten me through hard times as a young adult.
As a non-Christian follower of your channel for a few years now, there are some good points to be heard here. Obviously we do not agree as far as spiritual beliefs, science, etc., but there are similarities between how you would get through the storm and how I would and have. Thankfully I have a very supportive spouse, and beautiful children that I am incredibly grateful for. I can make several points to show how we relate - but really I just want to say how beautifully strong you are and how much I wish for you to have peace after going through this, and as you continue to go through this. ❤
Your faith is so inspiring ❤ I cant remember the last video of yours that I've watched without crying (In the best way) You are a blessing Milena!! Thank you for allowing God to use you the way He has 😊
wow 🥹 thank you, thank you for being here 🤎
“ time doesn’t heal wounds, Jesus does “
Amennnnn Sistaaa 🙌🏽
Recently lost my job and this is helping me so much. Praying for you and your family right now
Def a worship song when my dad passed! This was on repeat dailyyyyy “peace” by bethel music
Music plays a big part in my faith, I hear the Lord speaking to me and my situations through song. When I was holding both my boys in my womb I would sing the song 'The Blessing' over the both of them. "The Lord bless you, And keep you, Make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you, The Lord turn His, Face toward you, And give you peace." (Make his face shine upon you' - where Sonnies name sparked from) When we lost Sonnie that song no longer brought peace and joy in my heart but deep heartache. I was without song that brought me close to the Lord, that made me feel like he was near until I heard "Fear is not my future" by Brandon Lake.
"Let Him turn it in your favor
Watch Him work it for your good
'Cause He's not done with what He started
He's not done until it's good
Hello, peace
Hello, joy
Hello, love
Hello, strength
Hello, hope, it's a new horizon
Fear is not my future
You are, You are
Sickness is not my story
You are, You are
Heartbreaks not my home
You are, You are
Death is not the end
You are, You are"
Oh the tears that ran down my face hearing those words.
Searching for peace, joy, love, strength and hope during a time of deep deep darkness. Wondering how he's going to turn it in my favor, desperately holding onto His promise that He's not done with what He started, He's not done until it's good. Reminding myself that heartbreak is not my home, that death is not the end, He is. When we hold Ezera and I see him smile, I can now see pure peace, joy, love, strength and hope. We're definitely not out of the heartache and pain that has come out of this season but me and Austin can so clearly see Gods hand in our lives and over Ezera's life. That He is turning it to good, that He's not done with what He's started.
This is exactly what I needed to watch today. My little sister just passed away monday morning and all I can do is seek comfort and peace from the Lord! I trust you completely Lord! Please pray for my family and I 🙏
Psalm 143:8 and I the Bible verse that says “when you go through deep waters, I will be with you” I forgot the verse but God ALWAYS quickens me with that verse and I sing it, He has done that so much, He is so good though all the trials and tribulations!!!
While healing from my first birth and struggling with the fact that I ended up with an emergency c-section- the trauma that came with that, the extreme pain in healing, and the worries around what it might mean for the future of our family, as we want to have a larger family if that is God’s will- I clung to “Honey in the Rock” as my worship song along with “fear is a liar” (I was so scared about the potential health risks with future pregnancies and not being able to have a natural birth ever). Now I hear that song and just think of how beautiful the lessons are that God has taught me through the healing and processing of the storm!❤️
For me the pain has changed. I still can't talk about my miscarriage without crying, but I'm a super emotional person anyway. It still hurts. It's been over 3 months. It feels like an eternity ago, and yet it also feels like it was just last week at times. I love seeing how you're going deeper in your faith through the storm ❤️
Philippians 4:6-7 are my verses❤️
And "time does not heal wounds Jesus does" is so good and so true🥰
I’m barely 5 mins in… this is so beautiful. Wisdom I wish I had last June when we lost our son Jonah James- he passed right after he was born. That pain is like no other but it truly cleansed me, I never felt so close to Jesus in the middle of my worst nightmare of all places. I miss it. Unfortunately I turned bitter and resentful in so many ways. I was one of those women envious of other pregnant women and families with newborns. So destructive. I clung to Jesus in this pain, I prayed and prayed to be out of the storm but because of the bitterness in my heart I felt that I didn’t deserve it and I surrendered to His plan. The holidays I pretty much hit rock bottom emotionally, on Christmas when we very least expected it we found out we were pregnant and a month later, on Jonah’s 7 month birthday we found its twins. I don’t know what I did to deserve His Grace… I’m still working through it as a type this. My heart turned so ugly and still He showed me true Grace. I thought I had a much longer road to redeem myself but in the middle of the thick of it He blessed me. I’m still processing this so if this comment is all over the place forgive me lol. Thank you for sharing your journey of Jireh, you continue to bless us all the Lord is truly working through your family. It’s so beautiful, we all feel your peace and I pray that continues for you. Jesus truly heals all wounds, our Graceful King. Thank you thank you 🤍 we will always have our babies waiting for us with Jesus in heaven.
John 12:27 27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
🤍
Girl!!! I love being on this journey with you!! You are so inspirational and such a blessing! I love how real and relatable you are. Ministering to your kids is the best gift to give them. Keep going!!!!!! You are supported by this mama and I love seeing God in you!
“In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.”
Psalms 34:6
Mourning with you in the loss of your child, rejoicing with you in the testament of His Glory! Lifting your family before The Lord! Commending you for being a witness in it all!!
so so sweet. thank you for being here 🤎
Thank you for sharing your solitude in Christ & the beauty of relying on Him! Suffering either wraps you in destruction or clothes you in gratitude + joy! The glory of the Lord is shining through & this season is a blessing to know Him deeper! Praying for y’all!! Trust in You - Antoine Bradford + Let the Ground Rest - Chris Renzema are great songs for afflicted hearts🤍
I’ve clung onto the verse 1 John 4:18 “Perfect love casts out fear” during a really hard and dark time I experienced in high school, my pastor at the time quoted this scripture to me and it was like a wave of peace I had and something I am reminded with in times of fear and doubt. Praying for your family Milena. ❤️
This is so encouraging to me! I went through a miscarriage in December with baby #3 and we are now currently pregnant again with our precious rainbow baby! But even though that was THE hardest thing we have ever walked though, we still had so much peace and joy through it all. God is so gracious! The one song that I clung to was “Yes I will” by Vertical Worship. I would listen to it literally all day long because I refused to give into my flesh and be bitter and angry and would sing it even when it was hard and I was choking back sobs! Yes there are still days when I am sad and miss my baby Micah, but we have so much hope in Jesus! Praying for you and your family and for God to bless you with your rainbow in His timing! 💛
Going back to a dark hair color suits you sooo well🥺 it enhances your beautiful light eyes!!
I'm a Christian RUclipsr too and you genuinely inspired me to start from all your older faith videos... and so to see your faith based videos to be back in full force just brings me so much joy! Love this side of Milena as well as home making side!
Thank you for sharing this ♥️ one of the most uplifting verses for me when going through a storm is Psalm 27:1 ~ ““The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”
Praise Jesus that we have such wonderful encouragement for our souls in His Word no matter what happens in our life. Praying for you and your beautiful family Milena 💗🙏🏼
Even before watching this video I am so encouraged. Since you changed the content of your RUclips channel to more like this, your audience has changed too. It's beautiful to witness and all the testimonies that are shared here in the comments....! Praise the Lord for what He is doing in our hearts. And thank you so much for listening and obeying the Lord. You are a true blessing for so many, me included!!
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 !!!!!
Proverbs 3 : 5 - 6 ... holding on to that for life.
I watched this last night but I wanted to come back and comment because these words keep on ringing.
“Time doesn’t heal wounds. Jesus does”.
♥️
I didn't suffer a miscarriage thankfully. But ive been in a season of grieving for 3 years. Lost a grandchild to miscarriage and then 2 grandchildren to estrangement a few months later. The pain is unbearable. I would never want to go through it again and i still have my mini seasons on birthdays, Christmas and and anniversary of time without them. But God has taught me so very much during this time. Im old and a slow learner so im sure i have many more lessons to come. Thank u for being so open and vulnerable with us. And reminding us that no matter what God is good. My faith was hanging on by a string for a long time i admit. But i kept reading my Bible and over time God started to heal my heart. U and ur husband are making sure that ur loss is not in vain. Wow yall r so special. Great job sweet girl
without going into crazy detail, last year I experienced a huge shift in my life and it rocked my world in ways I didn’t even fully understand at the time. I had truly reach a low, hopeless state and I remember crying out to God saying “I can’t live like this. I don’t want to be alive and feel like this” and didn’t see how I could make it to the other side. Through all of that, I found Jesus and genuinely don’t know if I’d still be here today without Him. I think something I hadn’t really realized until going through this was that Jesus brings joy & peace, but it doesn’t mean life will be easy. Things will still be hard, you will still experience trials and hardships, but there’s a certain peace that fills you once you realize that Jesus is in control and that everything that happens is according to His will and not mine. We know where our hope is, and that’s why we have peace.
A verse (or verses) I really clung to during this time was Philippians 4:6-8:
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell in these things.”
Hey Milena, This message really spoke to me, I'm currently in a storm or a hard season where everything is confusing and everything else just feels like it's falling in apart but I know and one thing for certain that even in the midst of this storm God is with me, he is in the boat with me and with Jesus in the boat, though the storm is raging I know I will have peace and in his timing he will calm the storm. It reminds me of the story when the disciples and Jesus was in the boat and the storm came out of nowhere and they were all afraid but Jesus was sleeping, but he got up and rebuked the storm but what really stood out to me from this story is when Jesus asked his disciples "why are you afraid, do you still have no faith?" with Jesus with us in the boat we can smile at any storm. God bless you Milena and I pray that God will continue help you even more so in this time, Blessings.
God speaks directly to me through you! (as someone else also said) It is the most amazing thing. Ive been struggling with postpartum anxiety/ depression, and i prayed a couple hours ago for God to help me with my storm.. the video i watched before this was Brandon Lake.. he said "God speaks to me through his people". I was like.. oh ya, maybe thats what i need to remember instead of asking for a sign.. he never gives me signs lol and yet i always ask for them. He always speaks to me through his people. MILENA IS HIS PEOPLE! 100% and every single one of her (or your, if you happen to read this) videos speaks to me when i need that the most. God is sooooooo SO SO GOOD!!!!!
Milena, I don’t want to take away from the content of the video - but you are glowing. You look absolutely stunning, and it’s clear how comfortable you feel with your new look in a positive way. It feels like you became more in-tune with yourself through your new style you’ve discussed (a new chapter) and it reflects outwardly how you feel inwardly. I don’t just see what you’re wearing, or how you look physically, but I see a healthiness that shines through and surpasses those things somehow :)
Today was crazy for me, a lot of noise in my head. I woke up and I saw your video in the feed, I decided to watch it but couldn’t finished it. When I was at the office a lot of stuff happened, so much stress in my head. And I listened to the Holy Spirit saying: finished the video. And I did. Then started raining, the sky was falling down haha. I looked up and I felt God was saying, DON’T RUN FROM THE STORM, and I did. I stood still and the rain drenched me completely. Definitely spoke to my heart and my thoughts. Thank you Mi❤️
Thank you for this video. Jesus really is who heals & I needed to hear that! 🫶🏼🥹
One song that has helped me through the storm is the blessing by elevation worship 🙏 especially the lyric 'in your weeping and rejoicing He is for you'
Milena spoke directly to me through you. Can you please do an depth video on what it means to completely surrender our lives to God? God bless! ❤
What a gut check. I appreciate your reminders to abide ESPECIALLY in the storm. I loved how mentioned it’s okay to feel hard things. It becomes a problem when we allow those things to change our character. Thanks for sharing this, and mostly thanks for using your influence for the kingdom.
I have been throught just that! I have said just that too. Lord when will it not hurt!!!😢❤😊
I'm so thankful for this video. I had a misscarriage when I was 6 week pregnant with my second, in March. I cried a lot watching this video but it also gave me peace. God works so great through you. ❤
I love how you said I don’t know what else to do than to worship and that’s what I been doing in the storm too because is not in my control but I know who could help me through it ❤
Sometimes it feels like He just speaks to me through you. Im thankful for your obedience 🫶🏼
Praying for you and your family ❤
I love when you share faith related videos. So inspirational💛
Psalm 131. Helped me through my daughters stillbirth. ❤ thank you for sharing Milena
Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 3:5
My verse through the storm is Deuteronomy 28:6 and it says “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and be blessed shall you be when you go out”
It reminds me that even if the outcome isn’t the way I wanted that God works all things together for the good of those who love the lord (Romas 8:28) and it helps me have keep faith and hope!!
“Time does NOT heal wounds. Jesus Does” 18:39 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So true!! Time may heal physical wounds but the emotional, mental, and spiritual wounds that no one can see are the ones that Jesus see so clearly and is the great physician to heal those wounds too!! Don’t under estimate the power of prayer - it does WAYY more than any of us could fathom!
Romans 8:18 - “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
This verse has gotten me through the hardest moments in my life and I always seem to lean to heavy on this one when I’m a storm. Romans 8 will always be my favorite book in the Bible
Isaiah 40:31 got me through the passing of my grandfather.
I had a miscarriage the first week of May and I relate to everything you said in this video, Milena! It's so beautiful to see how the Lord has grown you over the years (I've been watching since before Alethea was born. Continuing to pray for you, your family and that the Lord would grow you and provide abundantly 🤍
Praying for you!!
"Allow me to not want to come out of this storm" WOW such a beautiful perspective that I'm going to have to incorporate in my prayers now 🥺 I've been going through such a major storm that has left me so weary physically, mentally, and emotionally, and all I think about is when will the day come that I'll stop suffering? But suffering produces endurance and allows the fruit of the Spirit within us to blossom so others can have a full tree to pluck from! This trial has greatly tested my patience and ability to be long-suffering and many have been plucking my fruit of patience and the Lord is teaching me to endure for His grace is sufficient and although my flesh and heart may fail, He is the strength of my heart & portion forever! Thank you for this video, Milena 🥺❤️ I've been praying over you and your family 🙏🏻
"give away the stone"
🕊
thank you, Milena.
My verse I cling on to on the storm is psalms 119:105 thy words is a lamp onto my feet and a light to my path.
Only the word of God which cal heal as he guides us down the path
Thank you for this. This shows your maturity as a Christian we also went through this and we also had so much peace and joy for our other friends. And it was weird for people looking from the outside that we had so much peace in the storm. Because His timing is perfect and of cpurse their is moments of sadness. Its so much better to go through it with Jesus.
Jireh- Elevation Worship & Maverick City and Be my Shalom -Evan Craft. These songs have been my go to, they has helped me out of so many situations. They remind me of God's perfect love for me. Please keep me in your prayer as I continue to trust God in this season 🙏🏾. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾❤️
I am going through a storm. not a miscarriage, by dad has cancer. I have been feeling the same way you have in many ways and you are such an encouragement to me. You can have joy and sadness, joy is choosing to say "God you are still good and still faithful even in the midst of this" thank you. Praying for your family.
My husband and I are currently going through a separation. I am silently fighting for our marriage and am in constant prayer and worship with the Lord. Each time something new comes to me and reopens the wound, I have this peace that the Lord has placed over my heart and mind. When the enemy is still attempting to get in my head and heart again, my favorite verse to say is “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. Proverbs 3:5-6 and it redirects my thinking and helps me fall into the arms of the Lord reminding me that he gots this ❤️
My worship song that I always lean on is “The Blessing” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes
I am in my storm, I have been trying to do it certain parts without him, the pain is a lot so I just ran. this is very encouraging
Milena, watching you and Jordan navigate such a heartbreaking time has been a powerful testimony of the perfect peace found in Christ. The Lord is surely using you to testify of His faithfulness and the joy He gives to His children. Thank you for shining such a bright light in this dark world 🩷
Love that you said I didn’t feel out of control because you were never in control 🫶🏼 praying for you and your family during this time. 💛
“In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.”
Psalm 94:19 KJV
This is my verse
It’s been my go to for a lot of situations
“Pour My Love On You” by UPPERROOM has been my song during the storm I’m currently in♥️
“Journey” by Maryanne J. George, it will always hold a special feeling in my heart 👼🏼🤍🙏🏼
Romans 8:28. I feel the lord speaking to me through you all the time. It always is so comforting. A lot of times the lord will place something on my heart and then you end up doing a video on the same thing. I just lost my baby as well in May at almost 11 weeks. You have brought a lot of perspective to my life in this storm I’m in. Thank you so much for always being so encouraging.
